28 subjective views on terrorism

Terrorism. Terror. Two words appearing more often in our society nowadays. What do they really mean? What is really so frightening about terrorism? And maybe even more important, what is the effect of terrorism on our tiny little country?

Students of the Eindhoven Design Academy, Faculty of Man and Communication, have worked on a project about the representation of terrorism under the guidance of designer and teacher Annelys de Vet. In collaboration with Freek Lomme, director of Eindhoven based presentation-institution and publishing company Onomatopee, a book and exposition became the result of this.

PIIPTSJILLING
by Jan Kleefstra and
Rutger Zuydervelt / Machinefabriek

Piiptsjilling is the audio-equivalent of a Frisian landscape ... remote and melancholic. Friesland is the northern-most province of the Netherlands, and the home of poet Jan Kleefstra. Influenced by the landscape of his province, Jan wrote these poems in Frisian, a distinct language that is officially recognised by the Dutch government as a minority language, whereby it is granted official European protection. Kleefstra reads his own work on this CD and engages (as in does battle with) the some-times oppressive music of Rutger Zuydervelt/Machinefabriek.
