AstroStands x Defqon
In 2022, Defqon became partner for placement of AstroStands. For this commission, we developed eight fire effects which, combined with a bespoke lighting narrative, brought our cosmic story to life! The installation was positioned along a central walkway, encountered daily by approximately ninety thousand visitors! The positive response led to a follow-up commission and further expansion. A variation of the installation was also presented at Paaspop where it was seen by more than sixty thousand visitors. That same year, we created an initial scale model to explore different spatial configurations.
Robodock
It has now been many years since Robodock took place. Yet we still carry the memories with us: the vast, flowing spectacle of makers, technicians and roboteers, combined with theater, performance and music. For years we built a festival city from recycled-tech materials and found objects. Robodock was always full of idealism - an attempt to create and preserve a better world in a time when vacant shipyards still offered oceans of free space in Amsterdam.
