reflection

When I first participated in a radio production, I chose music as my main medium. I became interested in generating music through coding—using programming-like inputs to shape sound—which led me to start learning Strudel.
The process has been challenging. Creating compelling music still requires an understanding of music theory and sound structure, which made me realize that technology is only part of the practice.
I am still exploring—learning new tools while developing my sense of musical language. I hope to find a more natural connection between coding and sound, and expand my creative approach.

Exhibition:The-Calm-Machine

Welcome to the Calm Machine. Please sit down, relax for a moment. You have moved through the hall and made it here. This a space to ground yourself—without rushing, without judging. Reflect on the things you have observed. What sensations did you experience on your way? Did something feel strangely familiar? Did you notice something that sparked inspiration in you? What did your hands want to touch? Listen to your body, your thoughts, and your surroundings.

The Inner Machine Please take a 'key', open it and have a seat. You have entered the inner part of the machine, where you can touch, listen, and heighten your sensory perception. Feel the most tender and intimate part of the machine.

The Outer Machine

You have been here for a while now. Did you gather some fresh energy? If you feel like it, we would like to take you on a walk and thereby make you write a story. Breathe in some fresh air and feel the Rotterdam autumn winds on your face. Grab a pen and one of the walking cards. Just follow the instructions to start your journey! When you are done, please come back here to scan your results.

reflection

Having just arrived at a new school and entered a new phase of life, I am still trying to find my rhythm both in learning and in daily living. I find myself missing the comfort of my previous environment, and I am searching for a sense of balance. This is also why I created this work. Starting from my own feelings and perspective, I hope the audience can find a sense of resonance. I created a “cozy place” where people can rest, reflect, and explore their inner world.

Web to Print

Working with classmates to hand-bind our Special Issue 28 publication.

This was my first time hand-binding a book and also my first time designing a book layout without using Adobe software. Although I encountered many challenges along the way, solving them allowed me to gradually learn CSS, which gave me a strong sense of achievement.

Special Issue 29

Prototyping

After understanding the rules of P2P, we tried to use Soulseek as a platform to build a virtual private community, which we called “the Garden.” However, things didn’t go smoothly at first. We discovered that the school network imposed restrictions on the software’s functionality. In the end, we chose to use Eddie VPN. After purchasing a one-month VPN subscription, we were finally able to freely access each other’s private profiles and download files.

Workshop: Potluck Files

The term "potluck" derives from "luck of the pot"—typically referring to each participant bringing a dish to share at a gathering, resulting in a diverse and unpredictable assortment of food. It is a practice centered on sharing, serendipity, and socializing. In the "Potluck Files" everyone bring some files and packaging in a folder, make name and share with each other.

Web to Print:Practice and Scalability

On February 2, 2026, Youjung, Lea and I discussed Tsing’s text on scale and then conducted group interviews to reflect on how scale relates to our personal practices. So we generate really thoughtful discussion and we try to make this conversation into web to print.
