UPC
Wi-fi names are just advertising spaces which internet providers don’t use. Our idea, as proposed to UPC, is to change standard wi-fi names like ‘UPC24408’ to names like ‘Blistering Fast UPC’, for all your neighbours to see. Since those same neighbour might be on UPC as well, we’ve made a list of network name to differentiate, instead of numbers, turning your wi-fi, into an ad.

Museum Booijmans van Beuningen
The museum ‘Boijmans van Beuningen’, in Rotterdam is plagued by chewing gum, sticked on the pavement around their entrance. To prevent and solve this, we plan to place an empty frame for visitors to stick their gum on. When filled, the artwork will be placed inside the museum, as a piece of art, and a gentle reminder.

You try to imagine these things and how they’d make you feel, how you’d react, or what they’re like. But everytime […]

People of Nantong

I’m carrying Hasse around in Nantong (南通), in the historical block surrounded by the Haohe River (濠河) — while Eva in the hospital visits a sick relative. Hasse, being a seven month old baby, is a true 显眼包 (eye-catcher), so dozens of bypassers turn their head or want to touch her (which I quickly have […]

Cozy market alleys and pot stickers

Cozy market alleys and pot stickers

We’re in  Zhuqiao Village (祝桥镇), again. I love these old streets, filled with market stands or scooters and trikes parked everywhere. These alleys are so full of life, devoid of big brands with their uniform protocols and brand guidelines. And because the whole scale of it is smaller than modern shopping malls, everything feels so […]
