Jon Stam, just recently graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven, shows his unique approach to a portfolio in the form of a wooden cabinet. His work is presented in two distinct ways, opening the drawers and looking at objects and pictures stored in the cabinet or by taking out a drawer and placing it on the RFID reader which shows the content on a computer. It also connects via an USB port for those of you who don’t have the RFID reader (yet).

Born in Italy in 1976, Eva + Franco Mattes a.k.a. 0100101110101101.org have been besieging the art world with their clever hacks and elusive digital role-plays for more than ten years. In ‘It’s always six o’clock’, the avatar portraits in their series ‘Annoying Japanese Child Dinosaur’ are attacked by an army of toys, not the digital representations but the real McCoy this time. From Manga characters to G.I. Joe, and from medieval knights to Winnie the Pooh, they’re all performing in the theatre of pop culture. Cute yet ruthlessly aggressive at times, they’re taking over the exhibition space. In the process, fantasy and collective imagination are fusing into a dramatically charged form of 21st ready-made sculpture. www.mu.nl
