Year 0

I am fascinated by the nuances of fan-made creation, such as collaborative fanzines, fanfiction, and fanart. Despite being sometimes dismissed, I recognize the significant role these communities play in aiding self-expression and fostering connections through shared passions. I am interested in understanding the dynamics of such communities and how their creative practices intersect with broader cultural narratives.

Protocols for Collective Performance

During my first trimester of studies in XPUB, I had my first radio experience on Radio Worm. In retrospect, those weekly radio shows fostered a sense of community and collaboration among the XPUB1 peers during a very transitory period, since most of us had just moved in this new city, still struggling to find our footing. Broadcasting proved itself to be both a rich playground for experimentation and an invaluable publishing tool and I believe that this experience planted the seed for my graduate project idea.

Urban Small Talk

A cartography of the sounds of Rotterdam; the noise of construction, the song of church bells, the dripping of raindrops on pavement. Piet Zwart students could submit their recordings to be added in this archive, thus weaving an audio tapestry of the city and the people's feelings towards it.

Self-Hosting Arc

In December 2025, around the time of the first Try-Out Night, I came to a course-altering realization. I had acquired a raspberry pi and had installed linux and azuracast. Everything seemed to be working fine! There was one last step missing; making the server public. How hard could it be!!! :))))
