UV bodypainting at Dani & Wytze




After an already eventful day, I found myself on the road from a Dancing Sketching session in Utrecht to a Fluoresent Body Painting Party in Groningen. The day so far had been insightful in the sense of human behavior, but I had no idea what was ahead…except for the trusted feeling that anything Wytze & Dani are involved in will be accompanied by good vibes and great experiences. Their idea was to create a setting where all invitees could paint or be painted with Fluorescent Paints that would light up when seen under UV-Blacklight. After all the painting is done they had created an ideal arena to dance and experiment with pictures and dance moves!
The Notorious Wolf from Wolfs BodyMagic (www.bodymagic.be) gave workshops and came to go nuts on all those who were willing to be painted with his unique tribal style pimp jobs! Results…see below…

YUMANIX - part I

Genetics of Organization

Sometimes you come across people who resonate with your own thoughts about organization. In this case I was called in by Yumanix… a company (based in Utrecht) that is rolling out a program which it has been developing for12 years. Its main goal is to match people’s talents and companies goals so they can feed off each other and grow together towards a shared and fulfilled future. Getting into what they do exactly might be a bit much (12 years does not really compress well….), but the reason why they called JAM was to attempt to create the visual bridge between their body of thought and a tool which can be used to gradually fold out their new program. In simpler terms… they need to translate their accumulated knowledge into an understandable visual language. So…finally there is a real live request for a visual language that will serve as a cornerstone of communicating about “the genetics of an organization”… Keep checking for more!
