The font AT Black Rain was designed over the course of 6 months during my internship at ATTAK • Powergestaltung. Its distinctive glyphs are designed with the most suitable curves and shapes. To extend display qualities the AT Black Rain features 65 ligatures. The remarkable shapes result in a razor sharp typographic palette combining the dark ages with brighter modern times.

Published in the buyer-centered “pay what you want” form, AT Black Rain is available for anyone. Copyright ©ATTAK

One is by following the page numbers, the second is by following the colour of the pages and the third approach is to just read it from beginning to end as it is.

The first text is about the border police, the second about support from the government and the third text is about control within a government. The publication is made to shine light upon police officers who see themselves as governing power instead of being equal to others as this is more and more happening in Western countries.

The blue blurred images that are in between every few pages represent the siren of police cars slowly fading and not knowing where the border lies between authoritarian and protector.

For this assignment I made a narrative which is being shown by a healthy skin cells turning into cancer skin cells. The DNA structure is made up of photos from pale skins, dark to light ones. Two bright layers are exposed on top of the DNA structure. On every work you see two contrasting bright colours. Bright influences pale.

Core of this series of works is a visualisation of one of Daans initial social experiments in which he was observing and questioning societies' vanity as well as the way his contemporary social environment deals with the issue of value. Daan took the results of this as starting point in order to explore his personal values, which resulted in an intriguing installation.

With putting his personal observations into relation with the reactions of his environment on the questions he initially raised, Daan's final work is reflecting critically on the issues of effort and affect.

They can move inside, on top of, at, near, under, over, below, above, around, through, among, between, behind, in front of, across, onto, beside or not even coming close to each other. Every path they take will leave it's own trace which will contribute to the shape of the city. Each space will be utilised.

Exhibited at Fokker Terminal, The Hague.
