Design Camp
Aug. 2007
Every Summer the University of Minnesota hosts a design camp for high school students. This summer De Geuzen will be looking at the dynamics of uniforms. Can a uniform give a sense of solidarity and team spirit while also facilitating individual expression? We'll be beta testing and tossing ideas into the hopper to discover just what makes birds of a feather flock well together.

Faith in Exposure
Feb-March 2007
Curated by David Garcia @ Montevideo
Faith in Exposure shows artists, activists and visual researchers engaged in different ways with the language and power of 'news media'. It is a project in which artists 'talk back' to the news media. This exhibition and seminar addresses the central narrative of western democracy our 'faith in exposure', the unquestioning belief that the circulation of knowledge through news media (and other means) constrains the powerful and guarantees democracy. In a world where we may know but are still compelled to obey, Faith in Exposure is a platform for artists and researchers to ask whether it is still tenable believe the central myth of the information age; that knowing the truth shall make us free.

Historiography Tracer
A collaboration between Cargo and De Geuzen
September 23-25 in Oostende, Belgium
In terms of instant media, now more than ever people are reading their news from the web. Whether it is from online news channels, digital newspapers or blogs, stories and images from around the world are being digitized and circulated en masse.
But when you look at an image in a browser, what are you truly looking at? A feed from an article, or the submission of a search term renders an image made of pixels. Unlike traditional or analog photographs, the materiality of a digital image is malleable if not fluid. With the click of mouse it can be downloaded transformed and re-inserted into new WebPages without carrying a trace of its previous history.
But, imagine if an image file could carry the memory of its history, such as, the traces of its original source, how it has been manipulated, and where it has been embedded. This is the starting point for “The Image Historiography Tracer” a three-day lab hosted by Cargo in collaboration with De Geuzen. The lab aims to bring together different kinds of experts, ranging from artists, programmers, designers and theorists to speculate about potential software that could map the journey of an online media image. The lab will be a mix of theoretical discussion, performing search engines, tweaking feeds and testing code. Most of all, through both theoretical enquiry and practical explorations, we want to forge tentative relations between the technical, the tactical and the ethical.
Catalysts!
ExperimentaDesign / Bienal de Lisboa 2005
Curator: Max Bruinsma
Location: Centro Cultural de Belém, Lisbon Portugal
opening: 15 September 2005
Closing: 30 November 2005
The exhibition Catalysts! looks at communication design from the
vantage point of its cultural impact and significance. It brings together
a wide range of design objects which all have one thing in common: the
fact that they are more than answers to a brief, or better, that they
all interpret their brief within the context of a broader cultural
narrative.

Seance with Guy test run 01
May 30, 2004
WORM, a Rotterdam based org, is hosting a series of
presentations and lectures looking at the impact of Guy Debord's work
on contemporary culture. In 1996 De Geuzen screened a bootleg copy of
Debord’s film Society of the Spectacle and to this day, we're still
toying with its after effects. Far from being experts, or aficionados,
we consider ourselves committed yet irreverent fans of Debord and other
Situationist antics. For the evening we'll be talking about our version
of a dérive and how to make the tastiest Situationist Soup.
For an updated schedule of time and place go directly to WORM.
