SpiralRAUM is an interactive installation created with Willem van Engen and Travis Dent. It explores how public space is claimed, granted, and withheld. Fourteen fern‑like elements roll in and out, allowing the work to expand outward or form a temporary inner chamber that can open or close. Using proximity detection and AI‑based posture analysis, visitors influence the installation’s shape, while it still behaves autonomously. The piece highlights the ongoing question of who gets to use space — and how. Currently on view at Galerie Gmünd

The interactive sculpture Babbel offers an invitation to the inhabitants of Arnhem Presikhaaf to join in conversation with each other; it does this both through its form and function. The word “babbel”, Dutch for an informal chat, is split into its two syllables “Bab” and “Bel”. These two parts frame the entrance of the local Municipal Center like brackets. But the sculpture also has an interactive function relating to communication: If you whisper into the focal point of one of the paraboloids you can be audibly heard in the focal point of the opposite paraboloid, which is located 30 meters away.
Video of the Interactive Sculpture BAB|BEL in Arnhem Presikhaf in use. Children talk to each other by speaking into the focus points of the paraboloids. Their conversions are transferred from one part of the sculpture to the other, even if whispered.

windmills – a research i did at NL Architects for Atelier Rijksbouwmeester about wind turbines and the relation to the dutch landscape. the series is trying to initiate a paradigm shift in the reception of wind turbines by changing the industrial product accused of littering the horizon (horizont vervuiling) to an integral part of dutch landscape and identity.(the studies had also some serious parts…)
