- 1999 Park Of The Future, Amsterdam, Netherlands Trash-project: trash (package)
was collected in a dual system on the terrain, prepared and sold back for
the same money as in the shop to the audiance in the idea of, that we buy
things not for their content but more for that, what the commercials and designed
packages make us believe.
- 2000 Krach-Haus, CCAC, San Francisco, USA DADA passport-photo-booth. People
were asked to drop a coin in order to make a picture, which they could get
played on the outside (metasynth, picture to sound converting software)
- 2001 Final work, Academy Minerva, Groningen, Netherlands The audiance could
participate in a reconstructed set of my final. Five chat bots, based on discussions
i had with the teachers over this project before, replaced the teatchers and
me and kept for the time on a non-stop discussion. The user was assumed to
be the official extern professional (who was needed by the protocol).
