PENJET IS STILL PRINTING
About
The PenJet project is a collaboration of Rietveld Academie students Jaan Evart, Julian Hagen and Daniël Maarleveld. The project has originated from the workshop “Uncommon Usage” given by Jürg and Urs Lehni. During this workshop we experimented with the movement of printer heads. This resulted is a printer which could play a mini harp and another printer which showed the movement of the print head using an attached pen. In time we got more control over the movements so there could be experimented with type. And an adapted typeface for the PenJet emerged. Also adapted pictures where “printed” in several layers.
In general it commonly applies that the new (in) possibilities of every new technique influence the design process. This is also the case for this new alternative of a printer. And therefore there was decided to continue the project outside this workshop. Every brand of printer has its own manner to move and characteristic rhythm. The Penjet shows the handwriting of the machine, some fine and straight, others messy and fluently. Also the quality settings of the printer (presentation/normal/concept) influence the way the lines are drawn. The final result has both the imperfections of handwriting as the preciseness of a machine. Every page is unique. How much control there is, the printed result remains unpredictable. The PenJet prints random connection lines while there’s nothing to print. The represented texts refer all to transition within production processes. On the endexam exhibition there was a print workshop arranged where could be experimented.

SHOW ME WHAT 1
Dear cats,
Radim and Sam present SHOW ME WHAT, a more-or-less weekly movie night.
Each week someone else will show what they want to show.
This Tuesday – 9.10.2007 – Sam will kick off with a night of absurdity and romance.
ON THE AIR, episode 1
David Lynch, USA 1992, 24 min
Lynch’s obscure and flopped attempt at comedy. Quite special.
BRIEF ENCOUNTER
David Lean, UK 1945, 86 min
Train stations, yearning hearts, smooth black and white… simple, sophisticated, touching.
We start at 1830 sharp, in room 306. Bring snacks, cushions, friends.
And if you would like to show something next, let us know.
Sincerely,
Sam and Radim

DER LAUF DER PRIMS (Rube Goldberg in Second Life)
(with Thijs Gadiot & Sarah Charalambides)
Chain reaction (Rube Goldberg) machine in Second Life. Multiple takes, but otherwise no effects! Made by Amsterdam Gerrit Rietveld Academy Graphic Design Students in the project. ‘You Only Live Twice': Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Second Life’.
WE LOOKED AROUND THE CITY
(with Mads Vind Ludvigsen)
We looked around the city and saw all these instances of people and their surroundings lining up in interesting ways’. For a school assignment about ‘make up’, we created this make up of the city, which exists only in the eye of the beholder.
CLAUDIA’S
Lady( Karaoke)
The song was on a tape with self-recorded Karaoke songs that somebody found in a thrift store and sent to the radio for airplay. Only two words were printed on the cassette… “Wooshie Spkamoto”. aHere is my Youtube-Sing-Along-Karaoke-Version:
The Types
Porsche, Britney, Jesus and Typography
Abkhazia
Slideshow about the Rietveld Academy…and Abkhazia. This movie is based on talks that I had with a friend of mine who comes from Abkhazia and is now studying with me and reaserches that I made – of course filtered through my mind. So it will for sure not tell the total truth; I am aware of that. Thanks to Helge Schneider. And yes: in Rietveld English.
Bboys to men
videoclip with 2Pac, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Basquiat, Miles Davis, Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Spike Lee, KRS-One and Bob Marley. Rich Medina is killing his Idols. I guess.

Self
(2005) This movie is supposed to come on a DVD, the image is always me, riding on my bike through Amsterdam. With the remote control of the DVD player you can change my soundtrack; change my feelings and thoughts (with a breeze of irony). This clip shows how it could be (I guess you would zip through it faster…). Don’t let them fool you: life is not a movie.
