Still looking for a game to play this weekend? I've uploaded all the files of the Blue Dungeon to the world wide web. I made the game for GOGBOT's symposium, organised by Planetart and Sickhouse. Happy weekend!

Nastia and I hosted our post-chaos knowledge-meets-airhorn quiz at many places, but The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science was a first last Thursday. ⚡
During IS HET KUNST OF MAG HET WEG? we quizzed the audience on artists who turned websites, surveillance footage and memes into art pieces.

Ars Electronica was last week, and it was a blast. Model Collapse was visited bij 9000 people!
Thank you Tetem for the incredible production - as well as Telemagic's Cyanne van den Houten and Ymer Marinus.

My friend @zeno4ever.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy is organizing Hackfest in Enschede this Sep 13th - a gathering for hackers and tinkerers to show off their cool builds.
Last year, we turned the smart doorbell jumpscare kit into a bumper car 🏎️ .
They're still looking for participants! hackfest.nl

De entrepeneur achter een gesloten deur — een interview met Dan Hassler-Forest Roos Groothuizen interviewt dr. Dan Hassler-Forest over de verbinding tussen slimme deurbellen, neoliberalisme en Hollywood's zelfredzaamheidsideaal.

Waarom is de gemeentelijke bewakingscamera onze "Big Brother-vijand", maar hangen we massaal slimme deurbellen op?

In mijn interview met @danhf.bsky.social gingen we daar op in via het ontstaan van het neo-liberalisme, 1984 en Mission Impossible. www.someoneisatyourfrontdoor.com/de-entrepene...

The Misanthropy of Doorbell Horror — an interactive essay by Laura op de Beke An interactive scrollytelling essay where Dr. Laura op de Beke examines how smart doorbells embody classic horror media tropes, such as the misanthropic gaze, peeping, and off-screen dread.

Ever came across those "creepy smart doorbell compilations" on YouTube? @lauraodbeke.bsky.social wrote about their lore in her essay "The Misanthropy of Doorbell Horror" for Someone is at your Front Door.

Read it at:

Volkskrant techredacteur Simoon Hermus ging voor "Someone is at your Front Door" op zoek naar de menselijke kant van de slimme deurbel. Over het schuren tussen wet, burger en politie wordt veel geschreven, maar hoe denkt je vrouw nu anders over je nu er een slimme deurbel is? Lees: buff.ly/Xw9ETRU

A smart doorbell just for your cat? Or one with an adjustable camera-arm... or what about a smart doorbell that compliments you while you walk by?

A multi-dimensional archive about AI - while an AI librarian guides you through this 3D and 2D digital environment in search for artifacts..

Amazing work @cyannevdh.bsky.social and Ymer Marinus <3

Can you own a "responsible" smart doorbell? @zeno4ever.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy & I built one. DIY tutorial: open-source hardware, accessible software. Photos + Github repo online. But making your own raises questions about "responsible"...

Two weeks ago I launched "Someone is at your Front Door" at PublicSpaces!

20% of Dutch homes have a smart doorbell and the numbers are growing rapidly. We're constantly quoting "1984", but love this surveillance gadget. WHY??
