My name is Wouter Klop. I make things. Some people would call this a “maker”. Some people argue that this is a hipster term, and that making things is of all times.
I’m drifting. This happens often, I typically don’t finish projects. This is ok: the fun is in the making.
I value making things, because technology is, in our society and in my opinion, taken too seriously. By taking a less serious view myself (when I don’t get paid), I aim to make creative, artsy things, with no other purpose than having fun. Both in the building, as well as when other people observe, or participate.
I like the making to be not just a technical and creative thing, but also a social happening. Collaboration and exposure foster cross-pollination; it adds to creativity. This I do, for example, by involving friends and colleagues, by visiting maker events, and by exposing my work online. Hence this website.
