Time for more updates !
So we have been on the search for printers to print our awesome posters, and we’ve found them. One thing less to worry about, phew !
We have been working hard getting all the requirements, documents, permissions etc. in place to get the power supply for the Gemaal ready, and it’s progressed quite a bit now.
We’ve identified on a great way (and spot) to display the title letters and Logo for the HvA on the Gemaal building (thanks to the HvA Huisstyle team for all the help !). We have also identified three posters that will be used for the inaugral round of the Gemaal.
The last month saw quite a few visits from me to De Inventeers (in Leiden), where we worked on getting the electronics and programming for it ready. Lots of work, and lots happening there.
All of this came together over three days, with the physical wooden grid and other fixtures being setup, with the cement cast for the tiles in place, and with the installation of the tiles in them. To add to it, we had a round of “Social cleaning” which involved nearly 8 people tugging and pulling at posters stuck over 10 years to take them off the wall and clean up the place. We also had a little bit of fun painting our installation with the colors we had chosen ( special thanks go to Marco van Hout for all his advice and help painting ! )
A lot is ready, though a fair amount of work still needs to be put in for it to be made “production ready”, so to speak. Here are some pictures below 😉
