Ignite
Ignite is run by locals, for locals. Fast-paced and merciless, speakers get five minutes to present, making use of twenty slides that auto-advance every fifteen seconds. All presentations are given in English.
Speakers
Francesca Miazzo
Based in Amsterdam, Cities connects urban explorers across Europe to think about urban life, policy and practice. Francesca, one of Cities' co-founders, will talk about the foundation's research. Or, in their own words: "We simply want to make clear, with some good images and a bit of humor, what we like about cities..."
Wrap the Gift
Wrap the Gift is a digital gift wrapping service that can be integrated into your e-commerce platform. Send time-stamped gifts that can't be unwrapped until a certain day, or simply woo a friend with your animated wrapping skills. Find out more from Donald Vossen, CEO and (one of three) co-founder(s).
Kunst In Werking
Kunst in Werking is Boo van der Vlist and Anne Dijkstra. Through artistic interventions, presentations and proposals, they aim to improve companies' internal structures and processes.
Jasper van Loenen
Jasper graduated from the Piet Zwart Instituut with the project DIY (Drone It Yourself). The kit consists of five (3D-printed) parts and allows you to turn any object into a drone. No technical know-how required.
Ricarda Franzen
Every now and then a minute-or-so-long audio fragment appears on Hard//hoofd. These docu-fictions are collages of found statements and sounds, removed from their context to become something new. Tonight Ricarda will tell you more about this and other sound work.
Lisa Goudsmit
Having wrestled with Jan Jansen's famous Bamboo Shoe for her MA thesis (Design Cultures, VU Amsterdam), Lisa rewrote her research into a book published by NAi/010 as part of Design Stories, a series of books on iconic Dutch design objects.
Lotte Geeven
Lotte disregards structures and hierarchy in order to create temporary realms in which objects can reposition. Leading to a greater understanding of place and thing. In 2010 Lotte was awarded the prestigious Illy Prize for most innovative artist.
Hanna Schraffenberger
Hanna is a PhD student at the Media Technology research group at Leiden University and researcher in residence at the AR Lab based at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague. Find out about her research into interaction in Augmented Reality and interactive art.
Renato Osoy
Renato's work is concerned with the everyday. He photographs and films moments of simple passing, thereby magnifying what would perhaps otherwise happen unseen, but without fetishizing the trivial.
Jonathan Karpathios
Jonathan is the owner and head chef of Vork & Mes, located in Hoofddorp. Vork & Mes grows all its own veggies, in an abandoned glass house in the lee of Schiphol. Without pesticides or added heating. Tonight Jonathan will present his soon to be published book, Echt Eten.
Harold Schellinx
In the early 1980s the music genre Ultra reigned in the Netherlands. Youth center Oktopus (Keizersgracht, Amsterdam) hosted dozens of bands who were part of the post-punk, experimental pop scene. The musician/writer/artist/mathematician Harold Schellinx' Ultra is a tribute to these years in the form of stories, interviews and pictures. The book was published by Lebowski.
