A Guide To Nether-Hell : A Journey Through Depiction & Experience From A Nether-Divergent Perspective
(2024)
author(s): Lorenzo Quint
published in: Royal Academy of Art, The Hague
Thesis of the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, 2022
BA Interactive Media Design
I was born and raised in The Netherlands, a country that is seen and communicated as a rich and prosperous country where you can be yourself and over/underwhelm yourself in the lowlands paradise. But what if you don’t always feel like you belong in it?
When you don’t feel like you fit the frame or archetype, it can feel like you go through hell. In my case, it’s the archetype of my neurodivergence (PDDNOS/ADHD) vs the neurotypical mindset. The Netherlands shares its low geological position with the Nether-Hell from Dante Alghieri’s Inferno. Starting from that position and looking at The Netherlands through that lens, my thesis is in a constant zigzag between hell on earth and hell in fiction but also targeting the archetypes like demons / sinners / the location of hell, the feeling of hell and the acceptance of hell. When you don’t fit in a frame that is shaped by a certain status quo, you seek comfort in the damned. The Damned are the poor, lame, sick and the blind. The reader is challenged to look at sins and taboos through a lens of politics, policy and pop culture. Who is the decision maker and why would one follow? into eternity. When it comes to the status quo, the question is stopped with the answer: “Because we have always done it like this.” He who pays the piper, calls the tune.

The course Place to Action - Art that Interferes is motivated and inspired by places. More specifically: the histories, contexts, narratives, situations, circumstances and people’s interactions and intra-actions and relationships with locations, which form places. Lingering in places with attention, listening to them and experimenting the possible ways of movement within them.
These attentive gazes of places will initiate interdisciplinary artistic actions and interventions that aim to explore and reflect the possibilities of art to interfere.
Here on this exposition the group will share their findings and actions.

The other's sonic experience; Bus22
(2021)
author(s): Kim Minji
connected to: Royal Academy of Art, The Hague
published in: Research Catalogue
The research includes one and a half years of artistic practice and research about the sonic experience while highlighting the exploration of the ‘Sonic experience of the others’.
It starts from a first-person – myself; what I am listening to now? It quested by sound notation in an explicit form and listening performance to understand the structure of hearing in a philosophical way.
Then, the research shows how the writer’s interest moved to ‘the other’ with the question: What is this I’m listening to and how is it different what you’re hearing? and attempts to bring the method of fiction to reveal the third person’s sonic experience.
Bus 22 is an audio-playback fiction with visual instructions. It helped by two keywords, Anamnesis: mnemo-perceptive effects, and Voice in thoughts: storytelling.
At the last, the author talks about difficulties in the process, nevertheless, the perceived artistic value of the topic as non-objected oriented sound art.

“Lingering in Spaces” explores how architecture and space can shape people’s perception of time and how to create spaces that encourage lingering, slowness, and presence.
In a world driven by speed and productivity, contemporary spaces often fail to support deep, meaningful experiences of time. In my research paper, I realized how space and nowadays acceleration affect not only people's time perception but also their health. Through a combination of theoretical research, spatial analysis, and personal observations, I investigated how rhythm, movement, materiality, and sensory engagement can influence our subjective temporal awareness. I found not only the effects space has on people's time perception but also the elements that could reconnect us with the present moment.
The project began as a personal fascination with how different spaces affect my experience of time. Observing how time stretches while gazing out of a train window, or compresses in confined urban settings, and how time disappears during flows of rhythmical activities like yoga, I became interested in how architecture could be designed to create a more conscious engagement with time and encourage people to slow down.
While sharing my experiences of slowing down, I ask you- when was the last time you lingered?

Things We Carry
(last edited: 2025)
author(s): Pim Schumacher
This exposition is in revision and its share status is: visible to all.
Department: IAFD
Grief isn’t taboo, and showing vulnerability is a difficult but meaningful step. Things We Carry stand for the emotions, experien-ces, and similarities we share as humans during a process of grief. The sculptures encourage dialogue and symbolize the mutual support we can find in one another.
