Dutch Profiles: Mediamatic
Since 1983 designers, artists, academics and programmers have been working together at Mediamatic to develop projects that combine art, culture, society and new media.
Projects like open source social networks, exhibitions, and workshops on alternative uses of new technologies. Mediamatic founder Willem Velthoven continues to be one of its leading initiators.
Mediamatic became the talk of the town when they curated an exhibition on modern Arabic type faces. For the presentation of these new type faces they appropriated a typical product of Dutch heritage: department store HEMA, the Dutch equivalent of Marks & Spencer.
One of Mediamatic's recent projects is the Digital Monument to the Jewish Community in the Netherlands, an online public database in which relatives can search for, and add information about, Dutch victims of the Holocaust.
Although the activities of Mediamatic are extremely diverse, it's goals always comes down to this Dutch desire to act as mediator.

BIOSv3 at Mediamatic Amsterdam
Third iteration of BIOS installation.
See version one and two here:
----------------------------------------------
“World of plants is a primitive system of inputs and outputs, where light and water constitute inputs and physical growth is an output. World of computers is a meta-system of inputs and outputs, where inputs are zeros and ones and outputs are zeros and ones, usssually cofigured in a somewhat more sofisticated fashion. BIOS stands for basic input - output system. Plants can be considered to be BIOS. BIOS is also software that boots computer. Therefore, plants boot computer....?
Wrong statement logic leads either to error or to art.”
Installation BIOS balances on the verge of bio-hacking and new media art. An element that connects computational technology and indoor plants is, nevertheless, human and his physicality - his touch and intention being the most natural form of interact-ion/-ivity.
Installation was commissioned by and presented at Mediamatic in Amsterdam, 2019, the Netherlands

Aquaponic in Amsterdam
During my trip to the creative city of Amsterdam, I looked for the Aquaponic installation of Mediamatic in the Van Gendthallen: The Aquaponic-system is a way to sustainably produce food in the city, because it hardly takes up any space. Plants and fish are cultivated together. The fish poo feeds the plants, and the plants clean the water for the fish. There's hardly any waste. In addition to this, Mediamatic has now developed Miniponics, the same system on a micro scale, which can be built and kept in offices, classrooms, living rooms, and even on balconies.
Enrique Medina, a spanish agriculture engineer was so kind to take some time to explain the system to me: Thanks Enrique, thanks Mediamatic!
Since 1983 Mediamatic has been active as a cultural institution. We are interested in cultural developments that foster new technologies, and new technologies that spur cultural developments.
