Testing the Waters

A series of guided tours that collectively reflect on climate emergency through
the lens of water governance.

This project experiments with methods to read the city anew, seeking to
encourage residents (and visitors) to recover their will to act in the face of
the socio-environmental crisis.

Past tours have explored topics such as water springs or fountains and water
bills.

The Fair Bingo

Have you ever walked into a art exhibition and felt a sense of déjà vu? Do you
look at exhibition pieces and think to yourself "I’ve seen this a thousand times
before"?

The Fair Bingo is a twist on the classic game that takes place in a design or
art exhibition. Instead of numbers, the game cards contain exhibition tropes and
conventions that the participants must find around the show in order to win.

To become winners of the pot prize, participants must go around a given
exhibition and mark out the items from their cards they found in the exhibition,
this is with the aim of being the first person to mark off a full BINGO!

Not every spring springs in spring

In partnership with the Belgian institution Z33, this projects is part of
‘FORMAT 2003: Water Expeditions’, a show that focuses on the narratives used to
talk water and the socio-environmental crisis. This research project unfolds its
findings in front of a live audience through a guided tour that exposes the
legal loopholes that are used to privatise the use and management of a natural
resource as elementary as water.

Hoy no se fía

El podcast que relata los entresijos del mundo del arte y el diseño con la
confianza de una barra de bar.

Marta y Miguel se mudaron a Centroeuropa seducidas por el fulgor del diseño
contemporáneo biempensante. Apenas han sobrevivido, y están aquí para contarlo.

Writing a Cover (up) Letter

Borrowing from our experience in improv, scriptwriting and, of course,
application-sending, we have developed a workshop in which participants
experience the mock version of an application process. Through this one-day
journey, participants practice their writing as much as their career-realisation
skills, while also letting go of the so-called impostor syndrome that is often
experienced in the creative field.

Sorry, what was the question?

Has it ever happened that you are in a lecture and someone in the audience
starts making a question but the set-up stretches so much that you start
wondering if their intentions were purely academic or if they were just covertly
showing off, proud about their knowledge on the matter and when they finish
their question you can’t help but think: ‘Sorry, what was the question?’

For FAQ’s sake

As part of the research exhibition ‘GEO—DESIGN: Budget Airlines’, this projects
emerges from an investigation into the digitalisation of the travel agency
through the lens of Ryanair’s customer service, a friendly front that hides an
intricate system design to minimise, and eventually frustrate, human
interaction.

Dirty Linen

What do laundry and contemporary exhibitions have in common? This question,
which could work as the set-up of a joke, is the starting point of the docu-soap
‘Dirty Linen’.
