After my studies in typography, drawing, photography and silkscreen printing, my first artistic activity was to co-found artist run alternative space De Zaak in 1979. During its ten years of existence the project issued 39 artist magazines in the true tradition of offering the periodical as an independent medium to artists and authors, as a format for an independent work on paper: a ‘paginated’ piece.
Curating exhibitions in 1992 established the international outdoors sculpture and installation event Allocations on the grounds of the World Horticultural Exhibition Floriade in The Hague-Zoetermeer. The exhibition contained 23 commissioned works by both established and lesser known international artists, whose work was informed by art/nature/culture issues. The accompanying book included a spread for every artist in which they presented their favorite public site. Special editorial and design attention was given to organize the book’s essays for either straight linear reading or scanning along the three main strands of the exhibition’s theme: art and culture; art and nature; culture and nature.
Having been on the board and working with Mediamatic magazine since the late 1980s, with the public accessibility of the Internet and soon after the World Wide Web in 1993-4 I shifted my publishing focus to the new medium. The challenge to design for an information era was addressed in the Doors of Perception conference series, which started out as a collaboration between Mediamatic and the Netherlands Design Institute. I worked in this context through 1999, co-organizing some of the conferences and as the commissioning editor of the Design Institute’s website.
In 1996 I designed the Silicon Rally installation, events program and website for Stroom Art and Architecture in The Hague. It introduced the Internet and World Wide Web as a new public space in its own right, of great importance to the traditional symbolic and spatial orders of art and architecture. The site is archived... after 12 years maybe only 10% of its links still connect to their original content.
Invited on the basis of my 2000 publication ‘Alienation Rules’, from 2001-2006 being an Advising Researcher at the Jan van Eyck Academie research institute I rewrote its design curriculum and initiated the Ubiscribe program. Its agenda envisioned the ubiquitous media conditions of tomorrow’s pervasive publishing,
Personal work over 1980-1993 includes some printed publications and installations in which silkscreen reproduced imagery, text and photography are applied. Over 1993-2004 my main production was for the web, including the 1998-2005 nqpaofu.com personal publication, aka weblog (‘Notes, Quotes, Provocations and Other Fair Use’) and 1999 idie.net (today archived as idie.enclavexquise.com, ‘Innovation and Design for Information Empowerment’), a rant in reaction to the First Things First 2000 issue design manifesto, with which I utterly disagreed, for the prime reason that it completely disregarded the dawning cultural-political landslide of new media development.
Continuing web oriented work until today, in 2004 I returned to older media and the exhibition room for the Exquisite Enclave Exquise project at the Paviljoens Museum. Included were a small handbook which actually anticipated the installation, and a website expanding on the book and museum display. Situated publishing remains a firm interest. The connection of sites and their occupants or visitors, to published narratives which include and expand time and space specific experiences and utterances, translate to many media. References go back and forth between the momentanuous and unique, the recorded and published and the archived and documented. It is what since 1993 I have been calling informational drift.
