FabLab Stories

Two weeks ago I went to the FabLab in Utrecht and recorded stories by the people working there during that day. I collected six stories in total, enough to showcase stuff in the documentary.

Compromising is hard yet rewarding

The monstrous GB-devouring thing called HD (64)

With every new project I’m shooting with my Canon HD camera, I’m shocked to see how many GB’s are imported from the tapes. Part of my service is providing my clients with the raw material for future use, but not on tape, since one would need a camera for importing. My latest project is about 42GB [...]

  • About this blog


    This is my personal blog which I started in 2003. At first it was called Communigations, a variation on Communicative Investigations. The blog transformed itself more into a personal investigation than being a blog on communication and therefore needed a new name.

    As a fencer, the name of this blog reflects how I write my thoughts into coherent stories, fence them off from all the sidepaths and rapidly go back and forth, covering various topics that interest me.
