N-Polytope at 'Open Codes' at ZKM in Karlsruhe
N-polytope (After Xenakis) is a spectacular light and sound environment combining cutting edge lighting lasers sound sensing and artificial intelligence software technologies inspired by composer Iannis Xenakis’s radical 1960s-1970s works named “Polytopes” (from the Greek poly many and topos space). As large scale immersive architectural environments that made the indeterminate and chaotic patterns and behavior of natural phenomena experiential through the temporal dynamics of light and the spatial dynamics of sound the polytopes still to this day are relatively unknown but were far ahead of their time: a major landmark in the history of the audio-visual arts and performative architectural practice.

Talk at Robot Love: All-Inclusive Cyborg Talks on the Uniformy vs Diversity panel
All-Inclusive Cyborg Talks is a series of lectures and debates to deepen the theme. The narrative Be (com) ing Cyborg is viewed from a different angle . Debates sharpen our vision on a viable future with technology. The talks take place during Dutch Design Week 2018. UNIFORMITY VS DIVERSITY Discussion leader: Danielle Arets Technology offers many the opportunity to participate in society. Thus there is more room for diversity. The practice is different. The paradox of technology is that, despite the possibilities, the instrument is often used to control, manage, homogenize society. Contacts lists on smartphones consist for 95% of people who look like us. Algorithms still produce stereotypes that are not just ridiculous. Conscious feedback is needed for a multiform society. With Femke Snelting, Jennifer Kanary, Luis Lobo Guerrero and Marije Baalman.

Ageing companions / Geprogrammeerde veroudering / Les cyborgs vieillissants
Geprogrammeerde veroudering is een werksessie over de verweven veroudering van lichamen en technologieën. De levensloop van mensen, dieren en machines is met elkaar verknoopt via elektronische circuits met beperkte levensduur: accessoires die bioritmes of de groei van specimens meten, interactieve medische implantaten, genetwerkte pacemakers en draadloze defibrillators zijn een alledaagse realiteit. De veroudering van biologische en technologische processen versmelt en het is niet altijd duidelijk of we met fysieke of met geprogrammeerde obsoletie te maken hebben.
I'm invited to take part in the work session and host an introductory workshop together with Anja Hertenberger and Riek Sijbring.

Algorithmic Sentience
Sentience is the capacity to feel, perceive or experience subjectively. Algorithmic sentience is a physical game or larp that explores how algorithms may influence our perception of the world. What senses does an algorithm have? What decisions do we let the algorithm take? How are these decisions executed? How do these decisions affect our experience of the world and our relationship with each other? What is our relationship to the algorithms? Participants in the larp will play humans or algorithms. The interactions between them will be governed by metatechniques/game mechanics that simulate how future technologies may mediate our senses. The larp will be designed during the week before this playtest by Tim Bosje, Marion Traenkle and Marije Baalman during the second half of Marije’s Sentient Machines residency at Baltan Laboratories. The larp is an prototype for the project The Malbody Centre, a multi-participant environment that is set in a speculative future in which wearables are transformed into body prostheses to mediate our senses. These prostheses, so-called e-bodilies, are connected to networks governed by large companies and states. In this future, people who divert from the norm are called malbodies. They are cast out of society and put into malbody centres. During the afternoon, we will introduce the project and explain in a workshop how to play the larp. Then the larp will be played. Afterwards we will reflect together on what happened during the larp. To participate no preparation is needed apart from wearing neutral dark (black) clothing in which you can move comfortably.

Parsing Failure - NLCL
Netherlands Coding Live aka 'NLCL' ~ a series of live coding sessions, discussion and a lot more organized by live coders based in The Netherlands.
The parse failure is a reply from the machine to let us know that it doesn't understand us. It gives us access to the machine's mind and usually gives hints on how to re-phrase our commands so that the machine can better understand what we are aiming for. Robert Henke stated that 'failures are great, pointing to the future'. Through failure we can learn, we get new ideas. You need to experiment and be ready to fail to develop new things and learn new skills.
During this livecoding meeting we want to help each other to overcome our fear of code, of the unknown, try things we never did before, fail together and parse our failures collectively. We will be coding within the realm of music and visuals. No prior experience is a must, the only requirement is the motivation and readiness to code, even if it is your first time!
We want to explore other modes than the solo livecoder and mix methods from agile development with improvisation games.
We want to share and explore together: hands-on instead of show & tell.
Come and join us!

Presentation at Creative Coding Utrecht
Creative Coding Utrecht (CCU) is a local platform for makers and people interested in the creative & artistic potential of technologies. Every first Thursday of the month we explore new expressions made with code and hardware. Think of visuals, music, apps, digital design, VR, games, new instruments, literature, spatial design, datadesign, or(…). Artists, designers, and developers will give presentations showing their work-in-progress or finished projects, and tell how they came about. After each presentation the audience can ask questions and come up with suggestions, with time for drinks in between and afterwards. I will talk about Sense/Stage and my current project The Malbody Centre.

Presentation at Hold me Now, Studium Generale, Rietveld
With the project “The Malbody Centre” Marije Baalman is investigating how body protheses may mediate our senses in a speculative futuristic setting, a further development of wearables into so-called e-bodilies. The project will eventually be presented as a multiparticipant environment, where participants will each take on the role of a malbody, a person with e-bodilies not functioning according to the norm and cast out of society. The project takes a critical stance at body based sensing (the body as the last frontier between privacy and big data), the control of artificial intelligence over our experience of the world (what if not only our news sources are controlled by this, but also our bodily experiences?) and how our society deals with people who divert from the norm (diversity in terms of ability and body). Of our senses, touch is perhaps the one most directly connected to our emotional state and being. Touching someone else can be an expression of intimacy, affection, giving comfort to a violation of privacy or integrity, its interpretation depending on social and personal context. Mediating touch through technologies can (perhaps) be achieved with sensors and haptic feedback devices. During the presentation Marije Baalman will present her first theoretical and practical investigations for developing a speculative prothesis for mediating touch.
