themancalledjakobapplies for an internship

Dearest Reader,

I want to give you a quick sight into

the work I do and care most about.

This portfolio is rather a little appe-

tizer than a complete impression of

my versatility and skill. These are just

some works I am quite proud of.

For example the background here.

May it subconsciously interfere with

your thoughts. May it convince you to

dedicate some of your precious

minutes to me. Even invite me to your

place for a coffee, a chat and a job.

Because I seriously want to work for

you & I will give all my best to do so.

Yours,

Jakob

I like challenges, I enjoy hard work & having a good time

I was born in karlsruhe, germany.

I started studying graphic design at the royal academy in the hague in 2009 and I ‘m still learning

When I’ finished studying, I plan to be a graphic designer/magician.This is me with real pig ears. Scary, right? But I’m actually a really nice guy.

I know how to use :

- The Adobe Suite Illustrator Photoshop After Effects Premiere etc . . .

- 3D Programs 3D Studio MAX Cinema 4D

- Programming Php/Css/html/javascript Processing Actionscript

- Sound Audacity Logic Express

- Languages German English Dutch

- Google I won ‘t bother you with endless tiny questions about every- thing

I work for the academy, and since this year they even pay me for designingsome of their academywide and even international events

what is nice

but i’d rather work for you now

very nice

Festival ‘Nieuwe Vragen/ New Questions’

On 29 August 2011 the festival Nieuwe Vragen/New Questions will kick-off the academic year. The festival focuses on the theme of ‘research in the arts' and is part of the study programme for all KABK students.

‘Research' is the current buzzword in the artworld. What kind of research is this? How is it undertaken? Does it introduce a new way of working?Artists, designers and theorists will explore these ques-tions with their own work as a starting point. They will discuss the exchange between making and thinking, and the socio-critical questions art poses.The programme is composed of a keynote lecture and six short lectures.

Keynote lecture

Stephan Dillemuth (1954, DE), Dillemuth is an artist who sees art as a tool for artistic research and critical reflec-tion on the circumstances of contemporary life.

Considering the impact of 'lifestyle' as a new ideology of self-fulfilment and liberation, Stephan Dillemuth has investigated the Boholand and German Lebensreform movements at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century.

Short lectures

Lucy Cotter (1973, IRL), art critic and head of the Master Artistic Research at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, focuses on issues such as cultural translation, cultural decolonisation and critical art practices in the age of globalisation.

Sher Doruff (1950, USA), artist, has been working in the visual and performance-based collaborative arts in a variety of capacities since the 1970's. Her doctoral research mapped collaborative, creative processes in Live Art performance practice.

Sophie Krier (1976, LUX), designer, explores the peripher-ies of the design field, with a focus on film, writing and temporary interventions.

Thomas Lommée (1979, BE), designer, initiator of the OpenStructures project, a hands-on design experiment that explores the possibility of a modular construction model where everyone designs for everyone on the basis of oneshared geometrical grid.

Paulien Oltheten (1982, NL), artist, presents an investiga-tive approach through photographs and video: identify-ing idiosyncratic moments, gestures, and unintentional performances of people in public space.

Aimée Zito Lema, (1982, ARG), artist, reflects on socio-political circumstances employing a subjective language. Her research and strategies involve shared working processes and collaborations (with actors, anthropolo-gists, family members, activists or factory workers).

The day will start

with an introduction by Janneke Wesseling (1955, NL), professor in art theory and art critic. A plenary debate will be moderated by philosopher Leonhard de Paepe (1980, NL) at the end of the day.

Film programme

An important element of the festival is a continuous film programme. The films, all of them related to the theme of the festival, will be screened simultaneously at different locations throughout the academy.

The programme includes the following films:

‘As The Acadamy Turns' by Tiong Ang (1961, NL)

‘Monument of Sugar' by Lonnie van Brummelen (1969, NL) & Siebren de Haan (1966, NL)

‘The hard way to Enlightenment' by Stephan Dillemuth (1954, DE)

‘Paradise Lost' by Sophie Ernst (1972, DE)

‘Mono Logue: An investigation into presence through absence' by Pantelis Makkas (1976, GR)

‘11 Fragments of Japan' by Paulien Oltheten (1982, NL)

‘Pressure' by Roy Villevoye (1960, NL) & Jan Dietvorst (1953, NL)

‘Shaking Doors II' by Italo Zuffi (1969, IT)Booklaunch

The festival will be concluded with a festive launch of the book See it Again, Say it Again. The Artist as Researcher, edited by Janneke Wesseling and published by Valiz, Amsterdam.

Of course, people had to be navigated.So I placed 7 ino-Imacs throughout the building and designed handouts with practical information. It worked quite well!

You want perfect health? Move in time and space like you wish? Overcome diseases and ugly bodyparts? Scientology swears: there will be nothing left of your pathetic “ you “ when they ’re done! Eats you up!

Saproctology

scientology loves to sue people, that’s one reason why their name is changed. but the substitute fits better

Scientology is weird, creepy and anxious.

So has to be my visual response.

of course the name refers to scientology

saprobia - nasty bacteria & funghi etc

proctology - rectal sickness

For the undecided:a happiness test!And it’s free!
