The DEAF exhibition <i>The Power of Things</i> enters its last
week. It is your last chance to see this remarkable exhibition where
an ice block in Jessica de Boer’s installation "Sealed" is
developing. You can play with the subtle interaction in the
landscape created by Philip Beesley and enjoy the magical moment of
the falling sponge in Olafur Eliasson’s "Notion Motion.

"

<br>
We would like to thank all staff and - specially - the volunteers
for a great edition of the DEAF festival! Thanks everyone, see you
in 2014!

<b>
June 5, 16:00-18:00 
Beijerlandselaan 3-5, Rotterdam</b><br>
<br>
Former newscaster Noraly Beyer will officially launch the public art
project <i>Beijerkoppen</i> at Beijerlandselaan on June 5th.
Artists Toine Horvers and Paul Cox collaborated with V2_Lab to
create this live world wide 24/7 news stream. The artwork consists
of three big full-colour video screens, each placed in a frame. A
search engine (specially developed by V2_ for this project)
collects, via different satellites, studio images and broadcasting
times of news transmissions. The program selects from these
fragments the ones where the news anchor is in the picture and shows
them in a continuous stream on the screens. <br>
