Air pollution in Europe remains well above recommended World Health Organization (WHO) levels, posing a significant threat to our health. We worked with the European Environment Agency (EEA) to turn their research into an interactive installation on air quality health assessment, that was presented at the Clean Air Forum in Rotterdam.
Under the water of the Open Havenfront, in front of the central station in Amsterdam, is the largest bicycle parking facility in Amsterdam, for up to 7,000 bicycles. In collaboration with Multitude, we have realized a more than 150 meter long cartographic wall, a 9 meter high facade with (photo)graphic patterns, and an approximately 20 meter long facade that alternates between more transparent and closed, depending on the function behind it and the privacy needed.
Oracle is a prototype for an installation and web app that gives access to 150k publications from the TU Delft Library and generates unique animated ‘covers’ for each publication using a consistent visual system.
Panartis and Authentication in Art moved their 2021 conference online. In four episodes, they disect the case of the so-called ‘American Leonardo’, looking through the lens of the Humanities, the Sciences, the Market, and the Law.
NOWHERE – Imagining The Global City focuses on the past 25 years work of Dutch artist/photographer Frank van der Salm and consists of a large-scale exhibition featuring a video wall driven by Artificial Intelligence, a collection presentation, a public program and a book.
For the Climate Breakdown we worked with SPACE10 on research into the societal, environmental and technological shifts likely to influence the everyday life of people, especially to better understand the impact of the climate crisis on climate migration, how it affects people and their life at home — and what we can do about it.
A hybrid platform accompanying the Who is We? exhibition at the Pavilion of the Netherlands at the Biennale Architettura 2021 in Venice. The exhibition questions the dominant structures and histories we inhabit and inherit, presenting an urbanism that is female, of colour, Indigenous, queer, and multispecies.
In the light of covid-19, Holland Festival needed to re-establish their programme in an online format, focusing on the notion of being ‘in pursuit of the we’. Together with film director Ruben van Leer we worked on this online project in which African-American choreographer, director and dancer Bill T. Jones wants to find out what people profoundly know. The project invited the audience to participate by uploading a video of expressing a sentence beginning with the words ‘I Know…’
The Quarantine Stories project is an online platform that gathers personal stories big and small of people in (self)isolation during COVID-19, providing a single collaborative resource to support many, in an effort to document the effects of social distancing.
An autonomous AI engine that arranges and edits film in continuous real time. Putting this computer program in the editor’s seat opens new doors to innovative ways of filmmaking.
UNCODE is a real-time interactive installation which premiered during Electric Castle Festival 2019 at Bànffy Castle, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The installation visualises how the process of creative coding works by exposing its mechanics.
In this datavisualisation tool for the World Government Summit in Dubai 2019, the countries will re-arrange according to inter-country similarity of the selected indicators. The indicators are grouped in 6 main categories (for example Health, Happiness, etc) with subcategories and can be coloured along 32 themes.
Recently, the Leidsche Rijn tunnel over the A2 highway in Utrecht was installed, a crucial part of the urban development master plan for Leidsche Rijn by Maxwan from 1994. When the neighbourhood is finished in 2030, there will be about 110.000 people living in this gigantic city addition.
OPENRNDR is our largest and longest running project and is a crucial tool for most of our work. OPENRNDR is a tool to create tools, an open source framework for creative coding, written in Kotlin, that simplifies writing real-time interactive software.
READ/WRITE/REWRITE was an interactive installation exhibited at Typojanchi 2017 in Seoul, South Korea, that visualizes how a machine can learn to ‘read and write’ by using machine learning applied to natural language in the form of written text.
Can technology, social security and atmosphere reinforce each other in an architectural design? The Willem II passage is a new connection that connects the city center of Tilburg with De Spoorzone development area.
In 2016 Flanders & the Netherlands hosted the guest of honour pavilion for the world’s most important literary event; the Frankfurter Buchmesse.
You control the control room. Using Google Streetview as a representation of reality and an algorithmic visual and auditive filter triggered by three-dimensional movements, the installation becomes a visualisation presented as an interactive space.
The exhibition Type/dynamics sees two galleries at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam adorned with large, interactive typographic installations, that plays off, reacts to, and dialogues with the work of Jurriaan Schrofer.
RNDR is a design studio for interactive media that develops ‘tools’ that are only finished by how they are used.
To achieve this, we develop processes, create structures, design visualisations, code programs, and create interactions. The end result can manifest itself across different media, ranging from interactive installations, data visualisations, generative identities, prints and everything in between – often real-time. We are triggered by how information and technology transforms networks, cultures, societies, relationships, behaviours, and interactions between people. Our work explores and engages with hybrid space as it embraces both digital and physical realms.
RNDR was founded in 2017 in The Hague, (NL). Its main members have years of experience as partners, computer scientists, designers, art directors and developers at LUST and LUSTlab.
One of our core projects, and basis for most of our projects, is OPENRNDR, an open source framework for creative coding –written in Kotlin for the JVM– with over 13 years of development. OPENRNDR simplifies writing real-time audio-visual interactive software. OPENRNDR is fundamental for the capacity of RNDR as a studio, as it allows us to realize complex interactive works. OPENRNDR was awarded the Dutch Design Award 2019.
