Oscar in China - A film by CYM - 28 minutes
Originally recorded in 2008, in Shanghai, China. Three years of editing. The film is released online in 2011.

The material for the film is recorded entirely with a small digital camera with a possibility to make movies. The movie quality of the camera is rather poor, but Cym manages to turn it into a fascinating story about a small boy visiting China.

2011

2011 is the year in which I finally graduate from the Rietveld Academy.
I studied at the Rietveld Academy from 1993 until 1996, but didn't finish at that time. Now, more than 15 years later, I have finally found the right direction for me to graduate: Interaction Design & Unstable Media - it simply didn't exist yet back in 1996.

Publication: 'The Artist as Avatar' - research on the role of the artist in the 21st century
Installation: 'The Artist can't Dance' - research on stereotypes about the artist

Many of the projects which I made during my two years at ID-UM are at:

Into the Unknown - With Nadira Araj
A visit to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
After visiting Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Ramallah and Bethlehem I am so confused that I put all my experiences of this very short trip together in four publications and a video installation. The publications tell my story of getting there and my experiences while being there. The video installation is an endless loop showing Tel Aviv on one side and Bethlehem on the other side. Two cities, so close together and yet so far away from each other. A preview of the video installation is at:
