Overview
A 5 minute poetic experience about an old painter who loses himself in the unending process of his next masterpiece.
In a society focused on performance we are confronted almost daily with questions like: Am I good enough? Do I matter?
We are always so busy worrying about our place in the world that we forget to wonder about what life can give us. 'Synthese' follows Walter Gardner’s journey to a new, liberating worldview. Enjoying the sun, clouds and wind, he rediscovers himself and his passion in painting.

Overview
Inspired by the picture books we grew up with: Mixoloog is an interactive table that allows you to explore and mix various worlds. You do so by moving and combining three real objects. Clicking the objects together opens up new worlds. In each of these worlds the thematic focus is on the boundary between real and imaginary; dreams, illusions, time and more. Can you find the three hidden objects in each world? Look for the orca, ice cream and the rocket!
