An on-going conversation

A Diagrammatical language

The relationship between letter and word abstracts the semantics of language on two levels: 1. Each letter works as an individual with its own distinct qualities. The more complex the letter or "character" the more complex the diagram. 2. Each letter is part of a larger community, which then becomes a visual representation of a social dynamic.

Wonder Years:
WT 1998–2008

Beyond an anthology, the archive represented here is an interpretation of a design school history, compiling its items according to a rather subjective, incomplete and inimitable set of entries. The 10 years story of the WT is narrated by a group of current participants, intersected by annotations, voice over and parallel readings from Stuart Bailey, Uta Eisenreich, Paul Elliman, Raimundas Malasauskas, Karel Martens, Armand Mevis and Willem Oorebeek. –LS
