Mastermundo
Mastermundo is a place to experiment and to try out new stuff, to be constantly uncomfortable
(never the same thing the same way again) and have fun with a limited bunch of people.
There are no strangers here, only friends that haven’t yet met.

We started with another quite ambitious plan: driving with two coaches to Paris, visited beautiful places along the way and in Paris. eat nice food, watching fresh movies, listening to great stories, sleep at 
Last Saturday, the third edition of Mastermundo took place. It was a hectic day, ‘a really fun, amorphous sort of day’ as one of the visitors called it. And that was also how it was planned, so that’s nice. And we even broke a record at the end of the day, so what more can

Mastermundo 2009 staat in het teken van toeval en improvisatie. Reden om een rock-flashmob te organiseren tijdens het Today’s Art festival. 178 liet zich leiden door het toeval bij de ontwikkeling van vormgeving voor posters en het openingsfilmpje voor de flashmob. Uitingen zijn gemaakt met ‘found footage’ van het web.
At this moment, I’m busy with organizing the 2009 edition of Mastermundo. This edition will all about performance, more specifically, about music. I will do a post with more details later, but wanted to share a little now.
Mastermundo and the art of nowness.

This year’s edition of Mastermundo had taken some elements of a flash mob, some elements of a school trip and some of a spiritual session. Seemingly unnoticeable the heterogeneous group of exactly 100 participants grew closer literally

For Mastermundo 2008 I created a truly non-communication poster. Because we could. We only had 100 people participating, while we had requests for over 400. So we didn’t need a poster to get people to join. So I tried to beforehand visualize the kaleidoscopic experience, which I hoped people would have during the day. It’s
For Mastermundo, I created interactive bags so the participants could express their state to their surroundings. Mastermundo was a journey, traveling from the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, via train to The Hague crossing a lot of public spaces. It created some fun interactions with the participants and people on the street, wondering what that hurdle
For Mastermundo I wanted to make a simple, recognizable identity, that can built up modularly and is also easy to replicate by anybody. And since Mastermundo’s heritage is in the Pool of Masterminds of the study Interactive/Media/Design at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK), I also tried to link it to the visual identity from
On Saturday September 22nd the Royal Academy of Art (KABK)’s brand new study Interactive Media Design (I/M/D) will present Mastermundo at the TodaysArt festival. Twelve exceptional Masterminds from the Pool of Masterminds invite you to hear them speak about their passion. They will share their knowledge with those interested,
Mastermundo is an intimate, active and informal gathering where interesting people with a wide variety of backgrounds share ideas, stories, passions or something that they love/hate/do/did/know/care about/obsess over with a curious, engaged, interesting group of people. Regarding participants we are looking for people with a high level of interestingness with preferably previously untold or unshared stories, performances, workshops to even recipes. So only truth, curiosity, diversity and no selling, no corporate bullshit. Stuff that shows the people behind great works. Together with the willingness and openness to share their personal stories and to take part in workshops and social interaction — so not only for a 20 minute talk.
Mastermundo is never the same. It is an ongoing project, investigating how shared experiences can be enriched, can become more meaningful and on how true relations can be sparked between people that have never met each other before, hopefully leading into new relations and projects.
