24 September I will once again particpate in an ADHD session together with dia.chro.na in studio 80 Amsterdam. Apart from live cinema, studio ischen will also provide visuals during the rest of the evening.

Five years after starting mediatechnology I am finally starting my graduation. I have to admit I gave up on it a while ago, given that an amazing two-and-a-half-year-old, a lovely girlfriend and a really nice job at Waag Society are almost more then I could ask for, but also take up most of my time ( not that I’m complaining ). However, the opportunity was there, and with a kind of now-or-never feeling I suddenly found myself registered as a student at the University of Leiden again!

My graduation will be about creating sound from video. Something that I’ve been wanting to do while studying at the AKI and that has popped up again. This time, however, I will have the skill, theory, software and computing power needed :-)

I will be using OpenCV mixed with python and SuperCollider for image analysis and sound generation.
You can track some of the progress on Vimeo, where I’ve added some movies:

April 24 2008 I’ll be giving a workshop “introduction programming”, based partially on the MT course, and my experience as a programmer myself.

This workshop never took place, but I was fully prepared. This post will be preserved as a reference therefore

I finally got around migrating all this stuff to my new account, ischen.nl

Old time friends should notice that I won’t read emails on the old account either. There’s too much spam even with gmail filtering out 99%.

This site will stay online as a personal reference to my activities up to 2007 for now.
Currently I’m too busy working for ischen, 1site1, the company I’m currently employed in, and playing with my baby son, Finn Jasper van Henten.

This leaves me just one thing to say right now: I’m very, very happy!

Cheers,
Matthijs.

I’m proud to say that veejay has reache 1.0 status, and for the occasion, we’ve decided to create a real website.

It’s a work in progress ( as always) but we’re beginning to see the light… I’m starting to understand some of wordpress features from the viewpoint of an ad-hungry website owner.
I’ll be migrating some stuff from here to there, and I’m thinking about migrating this whole site to a cheaper account.

here’s the link: http://www.veejayhq.net

I did it. I converted my old website into a blog. I choose wordpress to serve my needs. I had the site converted a few hours, including some style tweaks. The best thing is, it doesn’t show, and this site still looks as bad as it did before.

I started a small company, called ischen. Our site is mostly a placeholder, but I think it’s pretty neat. We have a couple of small assignments, mostly webdesign.
