====The Universal Language====
 +
http://esperantodocumentary.com/en/about-the-film <br>
 +
The Universal Language is a new documentary from Academy Award-nominated director Sam Green (The Weather Underground). This 30-minute film traces the history of Esperanto, an artificial language that was created in the late 1800s by a Polish eye doctor who believed that if everyone in the world spoke a common tongue, humanity could overcome racism and war. Fittingly, the word “Esperanto” means “one who hopes.”

During the early 20th century, hundreds of thousands of people around the world spoke Esperanto and believed in its ideals. Today, surprisingly, a vibrant Esperanto movement still exists. In this first-ever documentary about Esperanto, Green creates a portrait of the language and those who speak it today that is at once humorous, poignant, stirring, and ultimately hopeful.

====Why It's Important to Connect and Have a Conversation====

Of course there are many reasonable excuses why one may not be able to hang out, some of which include, "I've been busy [fill in the blank]." Of course we have plenty of tools to keep the lines of communication open -- from text messaging to Skype. I even started my Facebook page inevitably to keep my family, friends and fans in the loop with my day-to-day activities. The reality is, however, that even these forms of communication are a bit inadequate. The instant and omnipresent world of communication has increased our capacity to connect on a perfunctory level, but in some cases has thwarted our capacity to have real and meaningful face-to-face conversations.

I’m not a small-talk fan. “Hot enough for you today?” Who cares, I can’t do anything about it. “Pollen’s really bad this year, huh?” Yes.

====Six Reasons Small Talk Is Very Important====

====International Auxiliary Language====  
 +
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_auxiliary_language
 +
<br>
 +
An international auxiliary language (sometimes abbreviated as IAL or auxlang) or interlanguage is a language meant for communication between people from different nations who do not share a common first language. An auxiliary language is primarily a second language.

So what’s the point of it all? Why don’t we just agree to ride the elevator or wait at the DMV in peace?
+
====Esperanto====
−
Because small talk is where it all begins—and if you want to get somewhere, it helps, we’re told, to start at the beginning.
+
https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto <br>
−
If that logic doesn’t satisfy, and because bullet points are comforting, here are six reasons that small talk can have a big impact (not least on the 20% of U.S. citizens who aren’t working or actively  looking for work but who’d really like a job):
+
Esperanto is een door Lejzer Zamenhof ontworpen, makkelijk te leren, politiek neutrale, internationale taal (kunsttaal). In 1887 publiceerde hij onder het pseudoniem Dr. Esperanto - "iemand die hoopt" - het eerste boek over de taal met de titel: La internacia lingvo (de internationale taal). De taal werd echter bekend onder Zamenhofs pseudoniem en kreeg zo de naam Esperanto.

'''You Have No Idea Where It Will Go''' Small talk is a gift rarely found in nature or the financial markets: It is a free option—that is, an investment with no initial cost, no risk (other than a temporarily bruised ego) and unlimited upside. Small talk can lead to a host of outcomes, from a merely pleasant exchange to the signing of multimillion-dollar business deal. When a free option comes along, you take it—every time.
+
Esperanto wordt inmiddels in meer dan 120 landen[1] gesproken en heeft rond de twee miljoen sprekers.[2] Er vinden jaarlijks wereldwijd vele congressen plaats in het Esperanto.[3] In 1905 werd het eerste internationale congres met Esperanto georganiseerd in Frankrijk.

'''It Makes You Smarter''' A recent study by researchers at the University Of Michigan found that friendly, social interaction can boost our ability to solve problems—as, say, working a crossword puzzle might. That’s because, as Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the university explained: “Some social interactions induce people to try to read others’ minds and take their perspective on things.” (“Social” being the operative word: When conversations had a competitive edge, cognitive performance didn’t budge.) For the full study, click here.

====Is Art The Universal Language?====
 +
painting, music, architecture, dance, photography, drama, or sculpture speak to all people everywhere?
  
−
'''t Feels Good''' Some days the very thought of returning a verbal volley can feel exhausting. Think about it, though: How many times did a little light banter leave you feeling…a little lighter? Humans are social beings: We crave connection—that’s why Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is worth $17.5 billion—and small talk, while maybe not scintillating, is a way to connect.
+
If Art is the “expression of the heart”, is it capable of uniting us all? Art may speak to all of us. A dynamic rendition of a symphony moves people equally no matter whether they reside in Japan, Indonesia, or Germany.  A striking piece of artwork elicits a response from each of us regardless of our cultural upbringings or ethnic backgrounds.
  
−
'''It Opens Your Eyes''' Small talk makes you pay attention. Yoga types call it “living in the present.” I call it “putting down your stupid smart phone long enough to have a conversation with a human being in three dimensions.” Whatever you call it, it’s a good thing.
+
====NATO phonetic alphabet====
−
You’ll Be Liked. If you want, as the book says, to make friends and influence people, being liked is important. People like people who are generous (and confident) enough to engage them. Small talk isn’t just about being gregarious or entertaining—it’s a gesture of respect.
+
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_phonetic_alphabet <br>
 +
Het spellingsalfabet van de NAVO dient (evenals andere spelalfabetten) om met behulp van spraak met zo min mogelijk fouten een boodschap te kunnen spellen, ook bijvoorbeeld bij een zeer slecht verstaanbare telefoonverbinding. Het door de NAVO gehanteerde spelalfabet is zo opgesteld dat woorden uit het alfabet niet of nauwelijks te verwisselen zijn, ook niet bij communicatie tussen sprekers van verschillende moedertalen; er is zo veel mogelijk gebruikgemaakt van woorden die in alle in de NAVO gangbare talen een eenduidige letterassociatie hebben.

'''You Have No Choice''' Getting a job, working with colleagues, winning new clients, entertaining existing ones—all of it requires small talk. Want to be on a path to the 1%? Better have the gift of gab. As Scott Hoover, associate professor of finance at Washington and Lee University, writes in his excellent primer How To Get A Job On Wall Street: “In trying to generate business, the deal pitch is obviously critical. What is not so obvious is that simple, seemingly innocuous conversation with potential clients can be just as important. Companies want to hire people who can think on their feet.” (For more useful nuggets like that, check out Ten Things They Don’t Tell You In Business School.)

====Could a new phonetic alphabet promote world peace?====
 +

Backers of a universal alphabet say it will make pronunciation easy and foster international understanding. But can phonetic spelling systems really smooth the path to world peace?

====New Alphabet Wim Crouwel====
 +
New Alphabet is een persoonlijk, experimenteel project van Crouwel. De letter omarmt de beperkingen van de kathodestraalbuis-technologie, dat werd gebruikt in het fotozet-procedé, en bestaat zodoende alleen uit horizontalen en verticalen. Klassieke letters hebben vaak te lijden onder deze beperkingen. Crouwel wilde een letter ontwerpen voor de moderne technieken. Gezien het feit dat de letters alleen uit horizontalen en verticalen bestaan, zijn sommige letters zeer onconventioneel, andere vrijwel onherkenbaar. Het letterontwerp werd hierdoor dan ook met gemengde gevoelens ontvangen. De meeste letters zijn gebaseerd op een rechthoekig grid van 5 bij 9 units, met op 45 graden afgeronde hoekjes. Er wordt geen onderscheid gemaakt tussen onderkast en kapitalen. Veel vakgenoten vonden het letterontwerp te ver gaan, en hierdoor ontstond er een levendig debat over in o.a. de vakliteratuur. Het experimentele karakter van het ontwerp had mede als doel om een dergelijk debat op gang te brengen.

Now that you’re convinced small talk is worth the effort, here’s how to get better at it. Ready? Practice. Try stuff out, see what works. That’s it. As for technique, remember the basics: make eye contact, drop a compliment (if you mean it), share a common experience (while keeping the focus on the other person), and don’t be too self-conscious.

“Building self-confidence is a two-phase process. The first phase involves purging yourself of self-doubt; in the second, you build up your confidence. It’s like erecting a skyscraper: First you clear the site and lay a solid foundation, then you stack the superstructure. How high you go–how much confidence you muster–is up to you.”

====THE BENEFITS OF DINNER TABLE CONVERSATIONS ARE IMPORTANT FOR FUTURE CAREER SUCCESS====
+
== Concept ==
−
Dinner table conversations boost intellectual curiosity <br>
+
In kwartaal 10 ben ik (na wat wisselingen tussen onderwerpen) veder gegaan met het kleuren alfabet. Ik wilde een manier ontwikkelen waar er transitie is tussen ons hedendaagse alfabet en het nieuwe alfabet wat ik ontwikkeld heb. Ik wilde deze transitie speels maken en als een soort spel presenteren. Door het op deze wijze aan de toeschouwer  te presenteren hoop ik dat de toeschouwer de transitie snapt en er mee speelt.

Wie ooit Mad Men keek, wil een secretaresse. Vrouwen als Peggy, Megan en Joan stalen – ieder op hun eigen manier – de harten van de kijkers. Want een secretaresse, zo leerde de serie ons, is óf superslim, óf supermooi, óf gewoon de stoerste vrouw aller tijden. Maar waar eerder al de drank, de prachtige retro-meubels en de sigaretten op kantoor het veld moesten ruimen, lopen ook de secretaresses gevaar. Virtuele assistenten zijn namelijk in opmars.

Het eind resultaat is een installatie die de transitie laat zien tussen het oude en nieuwe alfabet. Ik heb gekleurde houten schijven gemaakt die door de camera kunnen worden uitgelezen. De bedoeling is dat de toeschouwer speelt met de kleuren en zo het nieuwe alfabet onder de knie kan krijgen. Het eind resultaat kan gezien worden als een soort campagne voor het nieuwe alfabet.

MEME / KARS

In collaboration with Leontien van Hattem

Focus changing meme for the theme: Abuse of Power

Inspired by John Baldessari’s technique, to change the focus in an image by sticking colored dots over faces, we came up with the idea to not hide them away but frame the person who really matters. Put a spotlight on the one who deserves it and giving it more attention. Because in the theme ‘abuse of power’ people sometimes forget what the really deserves: their thirty human rights.

Brainstorm

Het effect van energie/straling op mensen
Not enjoying our surroundings
where we keep our phones
The plant-wifi research (straling)
we take our phone in social awkward times instead of smiling to people when we past other people
Filmpje: seeing eye people
putting your phone on a pile
clubs where you have to leave your phone
people swiping on a piece of paper
making a rainbow on your screen with water
telephone is your safety thing, if your battery is dead; hell breaks loose.
we are taking a critical approach. the telephone is a entrainment object, being bored is our enemy. We are to busy keeping our minds of the question why we are here. There is always the restless feeling to find the answer. And when we couldn’t find that answer we start to fill our time with understanding everything else. We took an scientific approach on life. And that was the only one, and we tried to (are trying to) make life as pleasing as possible in the meantime.
The sound of phone triggers every one
Walking like slaves around a pole, the people are connected to the treadmill by cords that charge their phones, by walking in circles they generate energy to charge their phones. they need it, they are slaves.
the effect of phones on speakers
ask people to copy the sound of the dial-up sound with their voice.
creating fear and panic by taking away people’s phone safety feeling
there are also positive sides of phone using.

Action

Internet Detox: Is it still possible to live without internet and a mobile phone in this time and place? We are going to test this and see how long we will last before we turn mad. We will capture our thoughts and feelings in writing and filming. There is a set of rules: we can only use technology without internet, and we are not allowed to use our mobile phones. At the end we will bring our findings together, so the fieldresearch/action is the base of our design.

wat gebeurt er als je geen mobile devices gebruikt?
- geen mail
- geen schoolrooster/opdrachten, leraren mailen
- geen whatsapp
- geen facebook (evenementen, verjaardagen enzo)

wat mogen we wel en wat mogen we niet? en waarom mogen we dat wel en waarom niet?

testen hoe wij er op reageren, de generatie die opgegroeid is met mobiele apparaten. is het mogelijk zonder internet deze school te volgen? we gaan niet alleen mobiel loos testen maar ook internetloos. als je het doet moet je het goed doen. iedereen doet het, en gaat er vanuit dat jij het ook doet. en jij stopt er ineens mee. vastleggen met een go pro we moeten er op vertrouwen dat internet op vaste apparaat: niet internet op mobiel apparaat: niet, telefonie op vast apparaat: 1 apparaat op 1 plek telefonie op mobiel apparaat: nee anderen vragen niet bellen of op internet kijken voor ons: niet als er iemand dood is of je bent in levensbedreigende situatie: ja hoeveel nummers mag je opslaan: 10 mensen van te voren laten weten dat je alleen bereikbaar bent op vaste telefoon: ja kijken op een mobiele telefoon/laptop/computer van iemand anders: ja computer gebruiken die thuis staat en zo dus niet mobiel is: ja de tijd aan iemand vragen: ja

CRAFTING CORE MEMORY

In collaboration with Lisa Vermeer/Sophie Schulte/Nora Mabrouki

we (Kars, Sophie, Lisa, Nora) have eaten:
a bead (it was kars)
salad
bread with humus
a banana
bread with brie, ham and cheese
krentenbol
bread with salmon
sugar licorice
we crafted:

A critic on holy knowledge. It was supposed to be a circle but the universe wanted it to be a halo. Because that is what people understand. The knowledge is represented in the dataholding copper wire and mini beads. At least, we like to think it does, but it doesn't.

FUTURE MEMORIES / KARS

FUTURE MEMORY ALPHABET
In collaboration with Nora Mabrouki

Proces/Research

We started with the idea to collect all kind of memories from people. We wanted to translate these memories in shape and intensify them by using the human senses. This and a couple of other similar ideas didn't really seemed to work out for us in the end. So we moved on. After doing more research we found out that colours stimulate memory and creativity.

Research shows that:
- Color can increase brand recognition by 80%.
- In a clinical setting the use of color can help reduce in specific memory problems such as learning difficulties, autism, dyslexia.
- The use of color can reduce the reading difficulties of dyslexia.
- The reading rate of people with autism who used a colored overlay went up 35 % in advance.
- Colour is also used to treat patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
- Colors have the potential to attract our attention and raise attention levels, this way it helps us to remember things better.
The Right Colours Make Data Easier To Read:https://hbr.org/2014/04/the-right-colors-make-data-easier-to-read/

The next idea was to make an alphabet out of only colours. To make the right cross over from letter to colour we looked at how the computer reads text. By using the binaire code from a letter and translating this to a HEX code. This was possible but by each letter you could only get a third of the HEX, which means you would need three letters to get one colour. This was almost impossible to realize in processing.

We started thinking about en researching for everything we could find about memory. One of the most interesting things we found was that colours stimulate memory and creativity

  • Wiki9.png

Concept

We designed an alphabet consisting out of colours. We used squares for the 26 letters of the alphabet and cirkels for the digits 0 till 9. We based our colours on an universal palet of colours used for mapping countries. The colours are incompatible with other colours so that you can see the difference between countries. This is perfect for making an alphabet, there must be a clear contrast and separation.

End Result

We wrote a program in processing. Where we could translate letters in to colours. After this we were able to translate any text we would like. As an example we translate the wiki page into an publication. You need time and diseplin to read the hole text and thats also a part of the statement we want to make. Photo's of the publication will follow.

Making your own Language

http://www.instructables.com/id/Making-your-own-Language/

The Universal Language

http://esperantodocumentary.com/en/about-the-film
The Universal Language is a new documentary from Academy Award-nominated director Sam Green (The Weather Underground). This 30-minute film traces the history of Esperanto, an artificial language that was created in the late 1800s by a Polish eye doctor who believed that if everyone in the world spoke a common tongue, humanity could overcome racism and war. Fittingly, the word “Esperanto” means “one who hopes.”

During the early 20th century, hundreds of thousands of people around the world spoke Esperanto and believed in its ideals. Today, surprisingly, a vibrant Esperanto movement still exists. In this first-ever documentary about Esperanto, Green creates a portrait of the language and those who speak it today that is at once humorous, poignant, stirring, and ultimately hopeful.

International Auxiliary Language

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_auxiliary_language
An international auxiliary language (sometimes abbreviated as IAL or auxlang) or interlanguage is a language meant for communication between people from different nations who do not share a common first language. An auxiliary language is primarily a second language.

Esperanto

https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto
Esperanto is een door Lejzer Zamenhof ontworpen, makkelijk te leren, politiek neutrale, internationale taal (kunsttaal). In 1887 publiceerde hij onder het pseudoniem Dr. Esperanto - "iemand die hoopt" - het eerste boek over de taal met de titel: La internacia lingvo (de internationale taal). De taal werd echter bekend onder Zamenhofs pseudoniem en kreeg zo de naam Esperanto.

Esperanto wordt inmiddels in meer dan 120 landen[1] gesproken en heeft rond de twee miljoen sprekers.[2] Er vinden jaarlijks wereldwijd vele congressen plaats in het Esperanto.[3] In 1905 werd het eerste internationale congres met Esperanto georganiseerd in Frankrijk.

Is Art The Universal Language?

painting, music, architecture, dance, photography, drama, or sculpture speak to all people everywhere?

If Art is the “expression of the heart”, is it capable of uniting us all? Art may speak to all of us. A dynamic rendition of a symphony moves people equally no matter whether they reside in Japan, Indonesia, or Germany. A striking piece of artwork elicits a response from each of us regardless of our cultural upbringings or ethnic backgrounds.

NATO phonetic alphabet

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_phonetic_alphabet
Het spellingsalfabet van de NAVO dient (evenals andere spelalfabetten) om met behulp van spraak met zo min mogelijk fouten een boodschap te kunnen spellen, ook bijvoorbeeld bij een zeer slecht verstaanbare telefoonverbinding. Het door de NAVO gehanteerde spelalfabet is zo opgesteld dat woorden uit het alfabet niet of nauwelijks te verwisselen zijn, ook niet bij communicatie tussen sprekers van verschillende moedertalen; er is zo veel mogelijk gebruikgemaakt van woorden die in alle in de NAVO gangbare talen een eenduidige letterassociatie hebben.

Could a new phonetic alphabet promote world peace?

http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-21505114
Backers of a universal alphabet say it will make pronunciation easy and foster international understanding. But can phonetic spelling systems really smooth the path to world peace?

The Story Behind the Universal Icons That Came Long Before Emoji

http://gizmodo.com/the-story-behind-the-universal-icons-that-came-long-bef-1592800916

New Alphabet Wim Crouwel

New Alphabet is een persoonlijk, experimenteel project van Crouwel. De letter omarmt de beperkingen van de kathodestraalbuis-technologie, dat werd gebruikt in het fotozet-procedé, en bestaat zodoende alleen uit horizontalen en verticalen. Klassieke letters hebben vaak te lijden onder deze beperkingen. Crouwel wilde een letter ontwerpen voor de moderne technieken. Gezien het feit dat de letters alleen uit horizontalen en verticalen bestaan, zijn sommige letters zeer onconventioneel, andere vrijwel onherkenbaar. Het letterontwerp werd hierdoor dan ook met gemengde gevoelens ontvangen. De meeste letters zijn gebaseerd op een rechthoekig grid van 5 bij 9 units, met op 45 graden afgeronde hoekjes. Er wordt geen onderscheid gemaakt tussen onderkast en kapitalen. Veel vakgenoten vonden het letterontwerp te ver gaan, en hierdoor ontstond er een levendig debat over in o.a. de vakliteratuur. Het experimentele karakter van het ontwerp had mede als doel om een dergelijk debat op gang te brengen.

Concept

In kwartaal 10 ben ik (na wat wisselingen tussen onderwerpen) veder gegaan met het kleuren alfabet. Ik wilde een manier ontwikkelen waar er transitie is tussen ons hedendaagse alfabet en het nieuwe alfabet wat ik ontwikkeld heb. Ik wilde deze transitie speels maken en als een soort spel presenteren. Door het op deze wijze aan de toeschouwer te presenteren hoop ik dat de toeschouwer de transitie snapt en er mee speelt.

Proces

Voor dit ontwerp moest ik een processing code schrijven die via een camera in staat was om verschillende kleuren van elkaar te kunnen onderscheiden. Dit was echter sneller gezegd dan gedaan. Het coderen van dit onderwerp heeft veel tijd in beslag genomen.

De uitkomst is een kleine installatie waarbij een camera verschillende gekleurde vlakken van elkaar onderscheid en op een computer scherm de vertaling toont.

Het eind resultaat is een installatie die de transitie laat zien tussen het oude en nieuwe alfabet. Ik heb gekleurde houten schijven gemaakt die door de camera kunnen worden uitgelezen. De bedoeling is dat de toeschouwer speelt met de kleuren en zo het nieuwe alfabet onder de knie kan krijgen. Het eind resultaat kan gezien worden als een soort campagne voor het nieuwe alfabet.
