prss release [publishing]
In spring 2008, together with Marten Dashorst I started prss release, a so-called 'paper blog aggregator'. The main premise of this project is "We want to disclose all the goodies that are posted in the blogosphere to an audience that doesn't keep track of blogs on a daily basis, an audience that hates reading more than a few sentences from their computer screens."
The Lost Room [website]
Website I designed and developed for The Lost Room workshop which was held summer 2007 in Beirut in the context of the 'Public Space Summer Workshop' of Studio Beirut. The workshop was organized and developed by Partizan Publik
Archis.org [website]
The new Archis website is project were I worked on 6 months or so, and still is an ongoing project. In the course of time new features will be developed released. This work (developing the editorial framework) I did in close collaboration with Resource Studio (design and scripting) and of course Archis. The Archis site is designed in such a way that it can grow and expand with in various ways with additions like satellite websites, blogs, etc. This is possible through the WordPress MU platform where it is built upon.
Difüzyon - Istanbul [events]
In Fall 2006, together with some students of Taşkışla, the Architecture Faculty of ITU (Istanbul Technical University) we founded Difüzyon (diffusion). A platform for designer in Istanbul.
The first events we organized was dörtyüzsaniye (fourhundredseconds, an event where 10 designers, each presenting their projects in 6 minutes and 40 seconds (400 sec). The presentation has been derived from the Pecha Kucha format. Every edition the event is held in another venue. After that also Mimarlık Savaşları (Architecture Battles), an event where 4 groups of architecture students are making projects on a certain theme in 45 minutes. Creation, presentation and jurry stages, alltogether finished in 60 minutes.
ISIKLAL RADIO [film]
Short film I made about a radio that travels around in Istanbul. The radio receives only one street that condenses the sounds of Istanbul. The dial tunes in to various locations and there associated sounds along this street which is Istiklal Cadesi.
RIVERSIDE DREAMS [architecture]
Architecural design proposal (Center for Contemporary Urban Culture), Kagithane, Istanbul. Riverside Dreams Project in the framework of European Capital of Culture 2010 , at the Istanbul Technical University, Fall 2006.
LED attack workshop - Budapest, August 2006 [workshop]
EASA 2006 in Budapest provided Roelant ten Kate and me the opportunity to test our potential as workshop tutors. Our workshop was called 'LED attack'. We invited our participants to think about ways how we could use LED+3V battery in diverse ways to create events and unexpected moments in the city of Budapest.
TOPOGRAPHIE DES TERRORS [architecture]
Architectural design proposal (Documentation Center) near Potsdammerplatz,Berlin. Studio Border Conditions, TU Delft, Spring 2006.
PROJECTIVE LANDSCAPE - A conference on projective practice, March 2006 [event]
The Projective Landscape Stylos Conference wanted to research and explore the similarities between a few -at first sight- seemingly diverse developments within the architecture debate taking place in Europe and the United States. These developments appeared to offer a fruitful strategy for architecture in the 21st century. Because this specific debate was (still is) very scattered, the conference aimed to map and clarify these different developments and hoped to come to a clearer formulation of what was being referred to as projective practice. By which we meant an architecture that is engaged with the reality of the society in which it is embedded, but focuses on its own discipline instead of looking for legitimatization of its practice in just societal criticism or in disciplines outside itself like sociology and philosophy.

Computing Machines Can't Be Intelligent (...and Turing Said So) - SpringerLink - Journal Article
According to the conventional wisdom, Turing (1950) said that computing machines can be intelligent. I don''t believe it. I think that what Turing really said was that computing machines –- computers limited to computing –- can only fake intelligence. If we want computers to become genuinelyintelligent, we will have to give them enough ldquoinitiativerdquo (Turing, 1948, p. 21) to do more than compute. In this paper, I want to try to develop this idea. I want to explain how giving computers more ``initiative'''' can allow them to do more than compute. And I want to say why I believe (and believe that Turing believed) that they will have to go beyond computation before they can become genuinely intelligent.

I.O.U.S.A. motion graphics by Brian Oakes on Vimeo (via Vimeo)
It seems appropriate, given the precarious times, to pay some praise to the recent documentary I.O.U.S.A., not just for the great message but for its motion graphic design. Informational graphics take center stage in a film that puts the U.S. financial crisis into very real terms and images.
An in-depth interview with designer for the film Brian Oakes was recently posted over at Design Observer. Some of the clips are available for viewing below.
