TM-City (with Esther de Vries)
TM-City has eight neighbourhoods, made out of more than 150 works by the Dutch graphic designer Richard Niessen. Niessen’s method can be described as ‘Typo-graphic Masonry’ (TM), for he builds with graphic elements like fonts, shapes and colours. In TM-City Niessen takes it all one step further and actually builds a city out of his designs: flyers are stacked to form skyscrapers, posters are laid out to become parks. TM-City is fully traversable. People can walk down the streets, named after Niessen’s sources of inspiration, such as Richard Rogers and Eduardo Paolozzi. TM-City also has been designed to be mobile and easy to transport. Each neighbourhood, individually wrapped in handmade covers, fits inside its wooden base. From 12 May to 24 June 2007, TM-City forms a gesamtkunstwerk inside La Chapelle, the Baroque chapel in Chaumont, France.
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

(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.
My dear students,
I have arranged a guest speaker for this Friday(25May) lesson. His name is Ben van Dyke and he is an American graphic designer and researcher and will mainly
speak about his latest project(s). Spread the word and be there!
Last monday Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design visited our department.
We have made several presentations all together and had a chance to talk about the sandwiches in the kanteen.
