Hi, my name is Leslie Robbins, working as the project co-ordinator / paper administrator for PZI Media Design Master since April 2003. Beyond life’s financial requirements I’m a practising artist with a studio in the Duende building.

Op een zomerse maandagmorgen schonken leden van salle DEMAIN bijna 40 kopjes koffie aan passanten en fans. Stroom voor een twee-pitter en waterkoker kwam via de vitrine uit de Schouw. Het ontmoetingsmoment met ambachtelijk brouwsel gaf vaart aan de dag en leverde o.a. een Metro, vriendschap, een voorgedragen gedicht, de vraag om meer verwondering in de kunst, een douchemuts in een doosje met oud-Egyptische motieven, een vilten bol en andere inzichten op. Hoe krijg je kunst uit de kast, de straat op?

Aymeric Mansoux

Since 2009, I am core tutor and co-supervisor of study for the networked media branch of the Media Design and Communication Master. I am also an MPhil/PhD student,  funded by the Hogeschool Rotterdam, studying at the Centre for Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths, University of London under the supervision of Matthew Fuller. My research revolves around online art and design communities, free culture licenses and resources, and distributed collaboration.

My role at the Piet Zwart Institute is to help shape the networked media course and guide our students to develop their projects, on both a technical and conceptual level. I teach on an individual basis, and also give workshops (from Pure Data to DVCS and the odd command line trick) and sometimes join the other staff members during technical days and theory sessions.

My background is in fine art and graphic design. During my studies in France, I have worked as an art director, creating and developing multimedia projects for several brands such as Fujifilm, Givenchy, as well as a couple of government funded organizations and institutions.  In 2002, I graduated Fine Art with first class honours (DNSEP Beaux Arts Poitiers, option communication), and later on completed my DEA “Arts Numériques” under the supervision of Sally Jane Norman.

In 2003, following a desire to support art and music creation in a less top down and classical approach, I co-founded GOTO10 with Thomas Vriet, a non profit organization and artist collective, with the goal to promote the use and support of free software in electronic music and media art creation.  I have been active in the collective until 2010 and have initiated several projects such as:

  • make art, a yearly international no nonsense festival for software artists using and writing free software (reviewed a.o. by Arte and Libération)
  • Puredyne, a popular live GNU/Linux distribution for creative media (ACE funded, Pixelache software of the Year 2010)
  • FLOSS+Art, the first collection of essays on FLOSS and digital art production (reviewed a.o. by Mute and Neural)

With Dutch artist Marloes de Valk, I worked on Metabiosis, a collection of experiments about software art and digital processes which was developed over three artist in residencies (Nederlands Instituut voor Mediakunst, Sign, Waag Society) and two fellowships (University of Huddersfield and Kunsthochschule für Medien Köln). The last node of the project, “hello process!” has been part of several exhibitions, a.o. “After the Net” (Joasia Krysa) and “Process is Paradigm” (Susanne Jaschko and Lucas Evers).

As a musician, next to my solo projects, I mostly collaborate with Taiwanese artist Chun Lee and French designer Olivier Laruelle within the 0xA band, and with Dutch musician Jan-Kees van Kampen on text based network music performances and installations.

At the moment I am busy working on a new project, dealing with social gaming, media and software in collaboration with Marloes de Valk and Dave Griffiths.

I am an instructor for the “technical course” of the Networked Media Master of the PZI.

Visit the technical day subsite.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (’94). Subsequently I was part of the Interactive Cinema group, led by Glorianna Davenport at the MIT Media Lab where I completed a masters degree (’96). My research focus was on building tools for “Evolving Documentaries”, or how traditional film/video model evolves in the context of digital networked media such as the Web.

In addition to teaching, I have an active freelance practice. I am also a member of the Bruxelles collective Constant.

Since 1996, I have collaborated with Riek Sijbring and Femke Snelting under the name De Geuzen: a foundation for multi-visual research. Next to national and international exhibitions, our projects have been featured in Rhizome, Mute and Thames and Hudson’s Internet Art. Parallel to my collective practice, I have also produced text-driven pieces for the web that engage in the idiosyncrasies of networked culture. Whether working individually or collaboratively, my projects often employ tactical media to explore female identity, narratives of the archive and online media ecologies.

My educational background is perhaps best described as hybrid.  After receiving my MFA from the University of Arizona, I came to the Netherlands where I was an artist resident at the Rijksakademie for two years, which was then followed by two years as a researcher in the Theory Department at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht.  In 2007, I was fortunate to receive a scholarship from the Institute of Creative Technology to pursue a second Master’s degree in Creative Writing and New Media from De Montfort University (Leicester, GB).

Education has been a central part of my practice as an artist, student and teacher.  Over the past years I have taught art, design and theory at the BA and MA level at different institutions, such as the Bergen National Academy of the Arts (Bergen, NO), Piet Zwart: Fine Art (Rotterdam, NL), St. Joost Academy (Breda, NL) and the Willem de Kooning Academy (Rotterdam, NL). No matter what department or programme I have taught in, I operate from the firm belief that while it is important to specialise, it is imperative to promote interdisciplinary exchanges in order to playfully and critically explore the social, political, psychological and poetic implications of media.
