Our garden is slowly coming to life since we have the lovely people from Cityplot transforming our frontyard into an urban farm. Daryl has been helping them with the design and actual transformation of the garden. Work is still in progress, pictures here..

Arne Hendriks

Join him this week for the Starvation Experiment at Mediamatic and help him  and others to sublimate their hunger into XL snack mandalas, fluffy foods, salty zen gardens, non-food drawings, edible ceramics, wooden kitchenware and yes, even into lip balm.

Kees Kraakman

I bought a new roaster, a bigger one but from the same dutch quality brand 'Giesen'. Last week it arrived and now, with two roasters I am even better equiped for trainings and supplying my wholesale customers. I also installed a lot of extra temperature probes for my ongoing research in coffee roasting techniques. And for all you tea lovers out there, I hired Ieme for helping me with the air ventilation pipes which will reduce the noise and smell inside the Coöp.  Step by step my coffee lab is getting into shape. Now I only want a density measure system, color meter, sample roaster, more tasting tables, artificial daylight troughout my roastery, sample storage kast, two new grinders and a new espresso machine. Slowly but sure I am working towards the best trainingslab in The Netherlands!

Topika

Last week I divided my time between design iterations for the News Console branding, product strategy for the NMM project and design iterations for a prototype of the Skinvision online platform.

On Friday I gave a quick presentation about the Open-Tv project at the Bits of Freedom offices with Vincent and Catalina.

The project is also on view in the 20th Century exhibition at the Amsterdam Museum, St. Luciënsteeg 27, Amsterdam.

DUS

During his visit to the Rijksmuseum, the 3D Print Canal House was presented to U.S. president Obama by Amsterdam Mayor Eberhard van der Laan, alongside Prime Minister Rutte and Rijksmuseum director Wim Pijbes. 

They also designed a special ‘kids’ version of the 3D Print Canal House that consist of no less than 219 unique Bricks. Eleven 3D Hubs communities joined forces to 3D print the entire miniature canal house, which stands over five feet tall!

Sujata has spent the last month on her artist’s residency at the Waag Society, awarded by ICT Art Connect (EU funded) to see what art can reveal about opaque technologies. Her project is about data in healthcare, seen from a rather different perspective than in her day job (as analyst in the migration of AMC & VUmc data from an old to a new EHR). So she is occupied with health records not only in her waking but also in her dream state. The essence of the work is augmenting the electronic health record to really be about the person and their health, instead of only being a protocol- and process-driven picture of a patient and their illnesses.

We have a couple of new people at the Open Coop and will post more about them in our next note, for now everything that has been going on the last four weeks.

The Open Coop was featured in the year report of Rabobank Nederland with an interview of Christian Ernsten and Joost Janmaat.

The Volkskrant published a spread on the 'Renaissance of Amsterdam-North', with in-depth reporting on the Open Coop and and interview of Thijs Middeldorp.

Peter Robinett

Last week Peter got started on his work with Beamer and visited former collaborators Graphic Surgery in their studio.

On Thursday he participated in Tony’s OBA Fietssafari at the TonTon Club. He also continued to investigate the internet situation in the Poortgebouw.

DUS architects

Alexander co-organised This happened IXD14, an evening about the stories behind interaction design projects. 

Marie de Vos - STBY – talked about improving travelers’ experience of train platforms.

Christian Eckert & Andreas Wegner - icon incar – talked about designing a next-generation automotive interface.

Pieter Jan Pieters – OWOW – talked about The Social Project

Luna Maurer – Studio Moniker – talked about the ever-growing animation film Your Line or Mine

Sujata

Her work was included in the W-CA Contemporary Landscape exhibition, in Worcester City Gallery & Museum, Worcester, UK, with the theme 'contemporary photographic responses to Landscape. The works in the collection are far more critical and context driven than simply a reflection of either a rural or urban landscape. They are as much about the interior as the exterior, they are environmentally political, they are socially political and they raise notions of identity.'

http://www.sujata.nl/contemporary-landcape-photography-group-exhibition-worcester-uk/

She has been messing around with the laser cutter at protospace aan het ij to engrave photos on wood. It started as a demo/experiment with some guys (Yp & Daan) that were volunteering there, That has probably prepared her enough for making open coop signage in the near future :)

Last but not least one of her 'scapes' is hanging in Pussy Galore!

week 119

After two seemingly quiet weeks the Coop is starting to fill with visible activity again. As you can read below there was plenty of stuff going on behind the scenes. With this post we are looking back at the last month in order to catch up with everything.

To start with we are glad to announce two new aspiring members that moved in recently. Peter Robinett is a iOS and backend developer and Marina van der Lecq restores antique furniture.

Just before the holiday we also had an amazing Christmas dinner with curated cooperative presents for everybody.

At the same time the Young Economic Board of Amsterdam and Rotterdam had their Christmas drinks in our meeting room.

Right before the end of the year there was also some renovation and restructuring going on.

DUS Architects 

Probably the most amount of work was done a couple of hundred meters away from the office.

The 3D printer was moved to the construction site of the 3D Print Canal House, while the branding and design of the signage and the facilities was finalised. 

Last week Friday the project was officially kicked off with a stakeholder meeting at the construction site. More pictures here.

dmau

dmau completed the first phase of the research project "Participatory Documentary [and the city]" which investigates the potential of integrating documentary film working methods with urban research projects. The work was funded by the Dutch Creative Industry Funds and will be developed further in 2014. If this sounds of interest please get in touch with Daryl for more information.

Partizan Publik

The current resident in the Atelier aan de Middendijk - artist Jan van der Ploeg - finished his first work: http://www.atelieraandemiddendijk.nl/. This summer he will present a land mark in a field in close to the Atelier.

Vonk, a weekly insert in De Volkskrant, published a long story on work and new forms of working, in which the Open Coop figured as an example.

Topika

Alexander visited the 30C3 between Christmas and New Years Eve in Hamburg which is the annual congress of the Chaos Computer Club. The event focuses on hard and software security and for the first time had curated categories like Hardware & Making, Art & Beauty, Science & Engineering, Security & Safety, Politics, Ethics & Society. To give you an idea the Glenn Greenwald keynote about his work with Edward Snowden was often interrupted by massive applause.

Jacob Applebaum delivered two keynotes, one about his work on TOR and another talk "To Protect And Infect, Part 2" about the recent Spiegel publication of NSA documents.

No Neutral Ground in a Burning World by Quinn Norton and Eleanor Saitta was interesting and to relevant in essence but it was a great pity that the delivery failed and the talk did not grasp the audience. Alper gave a similar lecture for our very own Hackdeoverheid which gets gets the point across more intensely. You can find all the other keynotes here.

Artvark 

This December the artvark has finalized testing for Gabriel Lester's piece 'Melancholia in Arcadis' that'll be on show in the Sidney Biennial this year, and has organized a diner / network meeting / exhibition for artists and cultural entrepreneurs in Stadsdeel West.

Corline van Es

I am working with Minka Bos on the Voor Elkaar month. for the stadsdeel of Amsterdam Zuid we design a do-campaign for people who do something special for their neighbourhood. In five neighbourhoods we emphasize and support initiatives that do amazing things. and we finalize with a big storytelling event. 

One of the neighbourhood project is the dementia friendly environment, a case brought in by the Odensehuis in de Stadionbuurt. They work with students of the Rietveldt, discovering what it is, that makes a street, a park, a network of people, safe and friendly for people with dementia. Yesterday we took part in a workshop where we worked on the case, how to re-connect the neighbourhood to the house and its people. 

Open State

At Open State we've put a new jacket on the Hack de Overheid site and have unlocked great data for the Hackathon with the Dutch Public Broadcasting. Checkout the report and the amazing results here.
