Video: Bright Duurtest
I have been testing new cars for Bright non-stop since 2011 and have made quite a few video’s about them. Here are some of my favourites.
FD Persoonlijk
The Dutch newspaper Het Financieele Dagblad is quite an institution. Started in 1943, focused on people in the know and 45000 newspapers printed daily. Every weekend there is a magazine called FD Persoonlijk. I have written articles about Speed Pedelecs, Drones, Smart lighting and other new technology for the magazine. Read more You can find…
Book: Creativity as a career
Planning to not have a boring career? You want to create and make a living out of it? Have I got the book for you. It is called Creativity as a career. And I wrote it. Well, most of it. Together with colleagues from Sweden, Finland, Spain and the Netherlands, I worked on this book….
Er gaat niets boven Groningen
The province I live in is a wonderful place to be. It is green and quiet, yet has a vibrant university city in the middle. There is sea to the north, woods to the south and unassuming friendly people all around. Making a series of videos and ads was right up my alley. So I…
Coaching art
Lately I have had the opportunity to coach two young artists in their projects for the CBK Groningen. Sarah Janßen was the winner of the Hendrik de Vries Stipendium and worked on projections that took filmclichés into a new context. More recently I worked closely with Anneriek de Vries in her creation of the work…
Bright Ideas
After a good run of 55 copies Bright Magazine is no more. The physical magazine that is. It’s substituted by a bi-weekly online magazine called Bright Ideas. It means I won’t be reviewing cars the way I used to, I’ll be writing more about people, ideas and larger subjects. I have written two articles so…
Honeywell Evohome review
There’s something quite annoying about my house. It is incredibly difficult to heat every single area at the time you need to be there. I’ve had electric heating as a supplement for my studio, but was still frequently finding myself with a hat on and in need of gloves behind the computer. Honeywell promised to…
1568 is everywhere
My granddad used to have a small museum next to his house. We could make tin soldiers there. But he also had a big collection of diorama’s. Everything from cavemen to Napoleon at Waterloo and Willem van Oranje being assassinated. When I showed even the faintest of interest in history he’d bring me books about…
Royal Haskoning DHV ipad sales tool
Quite a while back I sat at a table looking at A4 copies of leaflets that were passed out at sales pitches. They had a nice ’90’s charm, but according to my client they were not the ideal tool to help with sales. So we sat down and discussed who their clients were, what their…
Rosalind Franklin Fellowship
Rosalind Franklin’s story is a sad one. Apparantly she was a deciding factor in the discovery of the double helix in DNA, but never got the recognition for it. Her discovery led to a Nobel Prize. Sadly not for her, but for three men: Watson, Crick and Wilkins. She died of cancer aged 37, most…
