Inject your own aids
A recording of a Processing program
that shows an animated blood stream in a vein.
When you hover over the vein an injection needle
appears and when you click, a disease is injected
into the vein which will slowly start spreading,
eventually covering the complete vein.
In the background a heart beat can be heard,
the heart beat will increase as the disease
is spreading through the vein.

Interactive trash
In the trashcan are sensors that detect where the waste is thrown down.
So if you drop something left it wil show left, if you drop it right it wil fall right.
This allows you to play games like Four in a Row.
The color of newly dropped balls changes according to the hour of day so you can
see at which time someone dropped something into the trashcan.
Also very handy: if you connect to a network you can send a signal that
specifies that the bin is full.

Facial recognition within the autistic spectrum
My graduation exhibition at Minerva: interactive object.
People with autism percieve differently than people without autism.
If we look at a face we see the eyes first and then the mouth. People with autism look
first at the hairline, and then the ears, nose, eyes and the mouth. Given the amount of
information they receive the emotions are more difficult to recognize than when you
only focus on the eyes and mouth. With this project I want to show how people with
autism recognize faces.

Whisper
Collaboration project between FMI and Crew
When you use the bol-scan you can see the six people standing in a row. there are two
versions of the interactive film. In the first one you can see them stand in all around
you and Jordan starts talking the other people stand and wait. You can see them and
lissen to Jordan, when Jordan is finished he leaves and you can hear and see the
other person talking, in the meentime you can see all the other persons aswell. When
you want to see who's talking you can hear wich way to look, because the sound is
directed to the person talking. In the second interactive film all the people tell the story
at the same time. You can chose who you want to listen to by turning the bol-scan to
the person you want to lissen to.

DeFKA exhibition
In the Netherlands there is a typical dutch saying: "mensen in hokjes plaatsen" placing people in boxes. It means you having prejudices about a group: If you wear black clothes you are a gothic. In this work I want to make people aware of the prejudices we have within us.
This work will consist of a series of portraits on canvas. The portraits will tell a story about how it is to be in one of the boxes. When you stand in front of the canvas a Kinnect wil detect you and will check where your hands are as soon as it detects your hands it will react and the movie on the place of your hands wil start to play. This way you can choose which portrait will start playing.

A Chair Alone
Everybody has their own interpretation of what being alone means. Depending on how you sit in this chair you can hear stories about what it means to be alone for different people. The chair detects if you are sitting comfortable and take the time to listen or if you sit on the edge of the chair; depending on that it tells personal or less personal stories.

Ronny is an impressive, large, rocker, with a wild beard. Ronny got training in shopping till his sixteenth,

Lonesome
Lonesome is a video installation that is exhibited first march 2015 at Sign and July 2015 it is situated in CBK. It shows a video installation about interaction, socialization and loneliness. It is a visualization of my search in to what loneliness is.
Lonesome is a video installation on the theme of lone- liness. The installation is an imagination of my research on loneliness. A compilation of collages related to my interpretation of loneliness, stories about what the term alone means and interviews about loneliness.
The installation presents what loneliness means in my immediate surroundings. Loneliness in the comfort of the Netherlands, Groningen. And not like everyone always assumes the loneliness of the elderly but adults.
The collages are a part of my daily life. A representation of how I felt on that day, what I experienced or what impressed me, a kind of diary. These images have emotional links to my personal loneliness.

QUIETUDE
Quietude is an interactive installation.
Visitors walk on floor projections and see a circle, a circle of energy, around them.
When a person stands still, the circle starts growing. At the same time, sounds and lights turn
off slowly. A moment of quietness.
When the person starts moving, it becomes light again. The circle stops growing,
but stays where it is.
