This is a book about internet censorship, based on publicly
available data.
Every page contains a case of a
country blocking one or more websites, or shutting down the whole internet, for a particular period of
time. The information is formatted
like a punch card, where the numbers form a unique pattern based on the dates and duration of a case. The
colour of the cards is darker in cases where the internet was blocked for longer. The book becomes a
physical
stack
of data, available both online and offline.

In the autumn of 2023 I asked some folks to watch a
film scene - the opening scene from 8½ (1963) - while I recorded their
reaction. The scene is three minutes long, and shows a highly symbolic dream sequence.
I tried out a couple of experimental ways of showing them the scene, in order to find some new
meaning or interpretation of it, eventually having them view it with their eyes closed.
This book consists of the recorded interpretations of the scene, combined with images I found myself, to
create a sense of what the viewers may have imagined, and to peek into the
associative nature of the mind.

A display typeface intended to dazzle the viewer with its
intricate and almost psychedelic linework. It is based on multiple typographic experiments, out of which
came a loose set of rules to create this typeface. To make it, I first created a skeleton
font
digitally, drew the spikes
by hand, and digitalised the result. It was created at my course's
Typography class, and is
featured in Character Club, a
collective publication with typefaces made by students of this class.

A series of posters made for De Opkamer, a small space
for art and events in Arnhem that, at the moment, is periodically inviting people to paint on their
walls. The posters have very scratchy and odd typography mirroring some of the painting happening on
the
wall. The typographical effects were made using a pen plotter in ways it isn’t
meant be used, continuing my long-running experiments with and fascination for this machine.
