Join us at Waag Open on December 7th in Amsterdam for an insightful evening exploring the language of materials in our environment. This event will showcase two captivating art installations that delve into our relationship with the materials around us. Myles Merckel will present his thought-provoking installation, Magnetic_Zoology (2023), while Alicja Konkol will showcase her captivating video-essay, From Ore to More (2023). Both artists have recently won the prestigious KABK Waag Award 2023. Can materials truly speak? Merckel's work features the chirping of birds alongside the mechanical chirping of "bird-like" hard drives. By creating his own database of bird audio files labeled as "poor quality," Merckel highlights the resemblance between the chirping of birds and the squeaking sound of a malfunctioning hard drive. Through Magnetic_Zoology, he emphasizes how nature is often mediated by technology, a fact we often overlook. Konkol approaches the idea of speaking materials from a different perspective. By repeatedly melting and melding together archaeological artifacts from digital archives, she explores the breakdown and rearrangement of forms, along with the memories and entropies associated with them. In her project, silver emerges as a material that speaks not only when molded into a shape but also during the process of transmutation and transformation. The evening will include an artist talk by Myles Merckel, a video essay by Alicja Konkol, and a moderated discussion and Q&A session. Don't miss this opportunity to engage in stimulating conversations and discover new perspectives. Waag Open takes place at the historic Waaggebouw on the Nieuwmarkt. Tickets are available for €7.50.

Boat tour

Night view

Buy a cup of coffee or tea before boarding and enjoy your leisure time.
Feel the customs and customs of Amsterdam on the water, see historical relics, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the beam bridge, and listen to the past and present.
Before boarding, I thought what was there to see in Amsterdam. After the boat started: this experience was still good, and I could calm down and savor life.
The Prince&#39;s Canal, Anne&#39;s House, West Church, &quot;Dentures of Amsterdam&quot;, whether serious, deep, or funny, RMB 127 is still worth it.

This boat is relatively basic and cost-effective; you can also try a more expensive boat full of colorful flower decorations, take pictures, and the most important thing is that there are wine waiters on the boat, and you can order wine/drinks.

Anne Frank House

Historic buildings

Had amazing time knowing the house and the writings. Just not encouraging elderly people with limited mobility to come due to climbing stairs is not easy.
