It's Anna from the 3rd year.
As most of you know I started my intern at the ad agency in Zurich.
Here is the last commercial we made:

Debunking Stereotypes

In September 2010 the 1st and 2nd year students of the I/M/D department of the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague have been asked to develop concepts and create prototypes of interactive media applications (installations, websites, mobile phone apps etc) in some way breaking with the stereotypical perception of African society and culture and shifting our paradigms regarding this part of the world. The selected results of the project were presented at the Business Summit Netherlands-Africa in Wassenaar on November 3, 2010.

The works of students include working prototypes of an interactive game on a mobile device (http://zambezi.mobi/), a poster campaign with QR-codes (http://www.abderrahmane.nl/africa/), a set of different audio-visual installations and web development projects.

The project is a result of an intensive collaboration between the KABK, TU Delft and the STT Netherlands Study Center for Technology Trends in The Hague.

Classic Game Code Visualized

The Atari 2600's cartridge-based videogames are quaint by today's standards, but programmer/artist Ben Fry spins contemporary visualizations out of the raw code and data of classic titles such as Pac Man and Pitfall.

Fry's distellamap project provides an unexpectedly-beautiful view of ancient assembly language columns:

"When a byte of data (as opposed to code) is found in the cartridge, it is shown as an orange row: a solid block for a '1' or a dot for a '0'. The row is eight elements long, representing a whole byte. This usually means that the images can be seen in their entirety when a series of bytes are shown as rows. The images were often stored upside-down as a programming method."

Fry's visualization reveals how the original game code intersected with the Atari 2600's primitive graphics and limited data. Today's games are generally too complex to visualize in this way, although play patterns are easier to track and show (for example, as heat maps).
