Free Wi-Fi at Boom?? Maybe you should come a bit closer and read the small print... (so yes, wait a few seconds before you scroll on till the next post 😅) Here are a few examples of the signs spread around the @boomfestivalHQ area as part of their 'Unplug to Connect' campaign

💔

I ♥️ MY SELFIE Trolley tourists. They move in swarms — half-human, half-itinerary. Robot-like figures, steered by algorithms, Google Maps, and the promise of “hidden gems” already found by millions. To Airbnb or not to be On view till end of August at Street Art Zandvoort 😎

Brave New Social Media World On view at the KunstRAI art fair in Amsterdam. Friday at 18.30 I will give a talk with Q&A next to my sculpture 👍🏼

I really don’t hope that the future of AI is going to be that everybody will post the same meaningless shit like, just to be part of another hype that will be forgotten next week…😢 Please stay creative, and most of all be yourself, whatever technique or tool you use 🙏🏽

Those following my work might know that as an artist I started making record cover artwork for in the early 90s for the electronic dancescene. And your first love never really dies, so I was really happy when Goldkimono asked me for their artwork. Vinyl coming soon! 😍

Haven't been very active here the last few weeks. Was travelling and teaching in India for over five weeks. What a trip! In every sense of the word... very grateful to get the chance to inspire kids at design colleges in Mumbai and Delhi ♥️

I had to do this just before leaving back to Amsterdam😅 Seeing this sign each day while staying in Mumbai's Dadar neighborhood inspired me... India stole my heart in the past five weeks, and staying in Dadar made me feel even more at home♥️ It's a sign 🤟🏽

The talk can now be found online here:

The video of my talk at @met_ams is finally online 😎 link in comments 👇🏽 'The Art of Turning Art into Money' was our slogan when in 2010 I started my own bank - the Exchanghibition Bank - and it seems that slogan pretty accurately described the phenomenon of NFTs a decade later

Pretty special that the Bulldog asked me to make artwork for these coasters celebrating their 50th anniversary, 25(!) years after they asked me to make artwork for the coasters for their 25th anniversary Already looking forward to making the artwork for the 75th anniversary😅

And will I be able to spot in the comments if you're a bot or not...?

Happy Valentine's Day ♥️

Does getting a Taylor Swift shirt for your birthday mean that you also need to go check out her music...??

It always feels amazing to see my art inked permanently on people's skin, so I wanted to highlight some examples in this post on the less permanent medium of social media 😎

I always believed that the definition of Reality is a malleable one We don’t see things as they are, but as we are So I started exploring Reality with the use of AI Very curious to see where this journey will go and where, when, and in which reality I can show you results

In 2013 I made this drawing as part of the Like 4 Real project. In retrospect it seems it might have eerily predicted the future. I do feel that nowadays discussion is too often fueled by sensationalism, but also feel that nowadays amount of power technocrats have is frightening

The world saw a staggering surge in conflicts. The number of people killed in conflicts in 2024 has grown by 30 percent since 2023. At least 233,000 people are estimated to have been killed in conflicts. Let's hope this year will see some light at the end of the tunnel 🙏🏽

Happy 2025 to those who still spend some time here! ♥️ wishing you an amazing creative year!

Haven't been here a lot lately, but wanted to wish all those still around on X a Merry Christmas! ♥️
