Placement / Displacement is a model in which people simulate the logic of a computer system. This living model consists of entities (spectators) that are bound by rules. When the rules cause the individual entities to react on each other, a whole comes into existence that is constantly in motion. You can't design the patterns that emerge beforehand and you can't foresee the result. Especially not when PEOPLE are executing these rules instead of computers.

The website has been created through the project 'Poetry and Internet', initiated by the 'Fonds voor de Letteren' and Waag Society.
The website is a tool for a new way of writing. The frontend is a website build upon textcells that are horizontally and vertically arranged, like a cell structure. Depending on their characteristics the cells connect with each other in different ways. Via the backend Peter Verhelst can enter the text fragments and give them chracteristics (add tags or categories). The tool is for now filled with fake text and the first experiments are still to be launched.

Programming by Karel de Vos

The poster and invitation were designed using a programmatic design system called Paper Plus Plus (developed by Jonathan Puckey and Timo Hofmeijer). The designer is limited by having to execute hundreds of iterations of a set of predefined rules. At the same time his personal intuitive choice has a big impact on the result. The design process is divided in two: first the system is set out in a set of chance based rules, then these rules are executed by hand. The designer functions both as the designer of the program and the executor of the program.

The grey value of the "square year rings" changes dynamically. The more content Dinie uploads into a specific year the darker the ring gets. The grey value of the rings is in relation to the one that is filled the most, which becomes 100% black.
