This is week 100!

To celebrate, we bought ourselves a coffee grinder (that makes a hell of a lot of noise) and we will be creating our very own game (that will be almost impossible to play).

Need we say more? Both things have been on the top of our wish list for like ever, so we're quite excited.

This is week 99.

There's been a lot to celebrate lately. Many things we cannot talk about (yet), but one of the things we can talk about is this: starting next week, Perceptor will be +1.

Dünya Kirkali will be joining us full-time as a software engineer. When Dünya isn't working his magic with languages – computerized and not – you can find him rolling sushi or solving wooden puzzle boxes.

This is week 98.

We have an interesting chart for you. It graphs the relative amount of sentences containing statements about policy in Queen's speeches between 1945 and 2010. Higher bars mean more policy sentences. The width of the bars is determined by the relative length of the speech. Shorter speeches get thinner bars.

The point here is that since Beatrix became queen, speeches have become much longer, while the percentage of policy-containing sentences has dropped a little. In short: she likes to talk.

We’ve given our best at proposing, now if she’d only answer “yes”…

This is week 95.

This week,

☛ we created a three dimensional LP representing 24 hours of noise pollution around Schiphol

☛ we presented this interactive audiovisual sonification at the VPRO/Nederland van Boven Beamlab Special at Pakhuis de Zwijger

☛ during the presentation, Untime was projected on 6 screens simultaneously, adding up to over 90 square meters of black & white pixel goodness

☛ we have been as stupid as to not having taken a single good picture of this spectacle.

This is week 94.

Lots of things are boiling beneath the surface. In the meantime, we’re playing flight records.

Coffee-wise, this has been a turbulent week. While we couldn't get a fresh load of Malawi beans to taste anything better than your average cup of Senseo, Bastiaan was seriously attacked by our sweet Silvia. Fortunately, today she made up by serving us the best espresso we've tasted in a long time. More on our coffee consumption here.

This is week 93.

Between writing proposals, tracking manure transportations and mining airplane callsigns, we've been working with artist Navid Nuur to create some pretty glitches. More on that soon.

This is week 92.

We were honored to be invited by Zefir7 to talk about our work during their monthly ‘designer's café’ in Zeebelt theatre. Honored because of the many great creative minds that preceded us, but also scared to be grilled. Presenting at Zefir7 means presenting to co-creatives, whom are probably the most critical crowd imaginable.

However, the engaging audience, the great venue and the delicious Indonesian food accounted for a wonderful evening. Moreover, the crowd stayed for a beer afterward. We met some inspiring people and would like to thank Zefir7 for this amazing opportunity!

This is week 91.

When completed, this will probably look nothing like what you see on the left.
