Report of “Test_Lab: Topology” at V2_ in Rotterdam, 17 April 2008.

Drawing parallels with the seminar on mapping at the Piet Zwart Institute, V2_ focused on the term topology in their latest edition of Test_Lab. V2_ Institute for the Unstable Media, is located just off the Witte de Withstraat, the center of creative ideas and artistic outlets in Rotterdam, and thus the ideal location for this bimonthly event, which in this edition focused on how the term topology can be applied to various fields of art and research.

Verslag van de bijeenkomst “Grenzeloze Nieuwsgierigheid”.

Op 31 maart 2008 vond in de Cruise Terminal in Rotterdam de bijeenkomst “Grenzeloze Nieuwsgierigheid” plaats. Naar aanleiding van een Manifest voor Nieuwsgierigheid, opgesteld en ondersteund door 23 van de grootste Nederlandse instellingen op het gebied van cultuur en ontwikkelingssamenwerking, werd deze bijeenkomst georganiseerd. Grenzeloze Nieuwsgierigheid was een middag vol debat én samenspraak met als doel nader tot elkaar te komen op het gebied van internationaal cultuurbeleid.

Hello!

April 16, 2008 · No Comments

Hello people,

Welcome to my blog. This blog is meant for reports on conferences, events and anything else I want to voice my opinion about. I will be writing in English mostly, however the occasional post in Dutch might appear.

The past few years, I have been a New Media and Digital Culture major at Utrecht University, from which I soon will be graduating. I plan to finish a second Bachelors degree in English Language and Culture, before I venture out into the world and go look for a career… or something that pays the bills at least.

My interests are new media, people, music, film and everything that combines those. On the 31st of March I attended my first conference that I reported on, and I plan to do this kind of thing more often in the future. The report (in Dutch) will be in the next post.

On Thursday April 17th, I will be attending “Testlab: Topology” in V2_ in Rotterdam.
