Walking the Runway
Florian van Zandwijk
28.3.2025 - 20.4.2025
The work of Florian van Zandwijk explores the inherently playful nature present in the early stages of technological development that ultimately evolve into highly complex systems. In this case, 𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘶𝘯𝘸𝘢𝘺 examines the foundations of artificial intelligence, computer vision, and dataset creation, highlighting how their initial forms often emerge through experimentation and exploration before becoming integral to sophisticated technological frameworks. Just as handwriting and fingerprints are unique to individuals, so too is the way each person moves. Our posture, pace, and motor skills form an unmistakable biometric signature. Twenty years after the creation of this dataset, the original actors—like all of us—could be uniquely identified in a crowd based on their gait alone.

The Cowan Paradox and Other Inconveniences
Sjef van Beers
12.10.2024 - 9.1.2025
The Cowan Paradox, named after historian Ruth Schwartz Cowan, describes how time spent on housework had not decreased between 1870 and 1970, despite innovations in the household—the Industrial Revolution in the Home, as Cowan puts it. In the exhibition a number of works use the medium of the self scanner—an innovation that dubiously presents itself as automation—to explore the influence that the supermarket (and in The Netherlands specifically Albert Heijn) had in shifting the home from a place of production to one of consumption and changing domestic labour.
Midsummer
Jelle Reith
2.8.2024 - 7.9.2024
Midsummer is a real-time visualization of the sun's position. A light source moves along two axes: The horizontal axis shows the sun's azimuth, which is the angular direction of the sun measured clockwise from north. The vertical axis displays the sun's elevation, the angle between the horizon and the sun. The two white dotted lines trace the sun's paths during midsummer and midwinter, marking the longest and shortest days of the year. The black dotted line represents the horizon.
