- Locatie: Somnium Space Online VR Platform, Rotterdam
- Somnium Treehouses explored the possibilities for more intimacy between players and gamem world therapy in the virtual social platform Somnium Space. This was done by building an environment focused on intimate conversations and relationship counseling, where visitors of the platform could have meaningful encounters with strangers and interact with their therapist in a gaming environment. The serene environment provided drastic contrast to the harsh spaces which are more common to the platform.

You Will Not Be
Performance

- In samenwerking met: Design Academy Eindhoven, Het Nieuwe Instituut
- Locatie: Triennale di Milano (Dutch Pavilion), Het Nieuwe Instituut, Milan, Rotterdam
- Taking the directives of the digital economy to its most extreme, students from DAE mapped onto our bodies its repetitive commands, gestures, and anxieties, desperately trying to achieve the promises of happiness and self-fulfillment locked within. This performative research reflects not only how narratives of self-optimization and hyper-productivity shape design practice today, but also how these are in fact turning our day-to-day activities into nothing short of a performance.
