Activities

Most of the time I am playing with, reading about and using media. That is my passion. My talent is to think, talk and write about it. With a few projects I test some of the concepts I come up with. ®®®media is my company for it. Formats I like are (e-mail)interviews, essays, articles, lectures, trainings and conversations. My daytime job is teaching new media at the University of Amsterdam.
