neo-accelerationist (nX). speculative design aficionado. design and media sociologist. tells stories of possible futures. lives together with cat Adorno. loves coffee and good music.
I strongly believe we can shape the future. With my own studio hyperspace, I explore alternative futures of an accelerating world. As lead and ambassador speculative design at Speculative Futures Amsterdam, I translate my findings into useful ways of challenging the current status quo.
At Fontys School of Journalism, I explore alternative futures of journalism.
I share my love of pop and media culture as co-founder of FRNKFRT, and I blog about pop culture at STASIS. I used to be a music and culture journalist for several magazines and newspaper since the early 1990s.
Check my LinkedIn for all the stuff I do (and did).
