When I draw or paint, the world becomes translucent and fluid. Like the tale of Alice, but I am not a lost girl, I am the dark wanderer over rooftops, sliding into your dreams...

During the Graphic Design Festival Breda, Studio AIRPORT held a workshop called ‘Tempting Typography’. This three-day-long workshop was based on window-typography. Every participant joined a retailer on the St.Annastraat. On the basis of an assignment, the participants designed to reach a result which had to qualify and be able to stay on the shopping windows for a longer period of time.

To promote Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen’s new collection “Voltage” Geoffrey Lilemon and Joost Korngold directed a short trailer. The idea was to represent the collection through a ghost or apparition made of strings and harps haunting the halls of a grand palace, environments made of the same fragile reflective glass material. The film was finished with production support by Random Studio. Geoffrey Lillemon met Iris van Herpen during Paris Fashion week where a discussion sparked about directing a video for her by merging hi-end technology with art and fashion. This led to bringing in Joost Korngold, who is well known for abstract 3d and particle artwork that would suit well stylistically to join in the production.
From there Breek stepped in to give the shapes life by adding intricate sound design to articulate them as instruments. The final piece was a celebration of various different disciplines and ideas brought into one beautiful experience.

"Focusing on the pastel palette, Dutch artist Aisha Zeijveld creates portraits that prevail. In her What Remains? series, inspired by the work of Egon Schiele, she introduces a way of ‘sketching’ onto the photographs, outlining the figure in interesting ways and modifying body shapes to something slightly abnormal. In other portraits, such as her series Feast of Destruction, in collaboration with artist Aukje Dekker, she adds damage seemingly mechanically" via Trendland

Feline Zegers is an artist with a love for illustration and photography. "My work plays with the combination of good and evil, beauty and degeneration. I’m often dealing with relationships between people and their environments. My work offers alternate views of reality. The value of storytelling and it’s ability to connect us to each other through our cultural, humanistic and emotional similarities is very present in my work. The figures displayed take on different roles, although the role itself is sometimes vague, flickering between seducer and victim, preacher and sinner, woman and child. Riddles which may, or may not, have a solution."
STYN is the graduation project of Dutch designer Sam van Doorn. It is an interactive pinball table that generates drawings with the help of a players. A poster is placed on top of the machine, which has a grid printed on it. Based on this grid you can structure your playing field to your desire. By playing the machine the balls create an unpredictable pattern, dependent on the interaction between the user and the machine.
Time magazine named indoor Clouds created by Berndnaut Smilde fascinating idea and its implementation as one of the Best Inventions of the Year 2012. "It requires meticulous planning: the temperature, humidity and lighting all have to be just so. Once everything is ready, Smilde summons the cloud out of the air using a fog machine. It lasts only moments, but the effect is dramatic and strangely moving."

"Sundays (working title) is a feature film idea created and written by Dutch commercials director Mischa Rozema. It is a project he has been living and sleeping with for the past years. It is the result of stories inhabiting his head, images that need to be visualised and the the desire to create a film completely different to anything we’ve seen before. The story is there, so is the research. What we are asking your help with is the opportunity to create a short film - the first step on the path to realising a feature film - using the skills and passion of Mischa and his team at PostPanic and Savage."
"We're raising money through Kickstarter to make this short film. We want to show what is visually possible when creative integrity is closely guarded from the beginning. We don’t want to risk diluting Mischa’s vision by 3rd parties forcing him to become more mainstream and commercial. We want to show what he is capable of as a storyteller when he has complete control over the direction."
