Upcoming Tuesday, 14 Nov. I will give a presentation on my work at Art&Tech Cafe, an event organized by TU Delft Studium Generale, focusing on the theme of ‘Intimacy & Technology.’ During my presentation, I will introduce my project, ‘Future Affair,’ in which I explore the potential for robots to serve as mediators of affectionate touch. Additionally, Maaike van der Horst will delve into her research on psychoanalysis and sex robots. Together with Derek Lomas, we will examine the impact of AI on our current and future relationships. Find us at Theatre de Veste, starting at 20:30. Looking forward to this intriguing discussion moderated by Desiree Hoving.

I’m thrilled to be part of this year’s pitching presentations at the IDFA DocLab Forum. The Future Affair project is currently in active development at the University of Technology in Hamburg, and we are actively seeking financial partners to support our future research and development. That’s why I decided to participate in the IDFA DocLab Forum this year, and I’m delighted that my project has been selected.

The market’s new media strand IDFA DocLab Forum presents 20 projects in all stages of development and production. The selection includes experimental and playful projects tackling the subject of algorithms, gestures of love, and digital doubles. Next to a wide range of creative teams and subjects, the selection presents formats including VR, AR, games, mixed media, installations, and audio projects. Ambitious highlights include Nicolas Blies’ and Stéphane Hueber-Blies’ Ceci est mon coeur (Here lies my heart) and Francisca Silva’s Knowing Your Nature. Baff Akoto’s Collatoral Echoes speaks of police violence in the United Kingdom, and Laura A Dima’s Future Affair explores robots as a medium for human connection. from https://professionals.idfa.nl/stories/idfa-announces-64-projects-selected-for-31st-edition-of-idfa-forum/

From September 28th to October 1st, I embarked on a journey to Tilburg. The purpose was to present my work, myFACE, at the interdisciplinary festival for experimental arts called murf/murw. It turned out to be an exhilarating rollercoaster of adventures, with peculiar performances, live music, and an abundance of excitement. Many attendees wore my face, wholeheartedly contributing to the mission. The experience was not only a lot of fun to witness, but also the reactions it elicited were truly priceless. I made new friends, and encountered new faces, and the work continues.
