Exploring creativity and computing through empowering artists and inspriring developers!

According to some energy hungry lurker on internet:

He has been involved in various roles, from researcher to developer and lecturer, with a strong focus on innovative technology and new media art. Loonstra has contributed significantly to projects related to interaction design, network security, and the orchestration of computer systems, particularly in live performances and Internet of Things (IoT) environments. He has also worked on sustainable technology solutions for self-sufficient buildings.

Loonstra holds multiple degrees, including a Master of Science in Media Technology from Leiden University and a Bachelor of Arts in Virtual Theatre and Games from the HKU University of the Arts. His professional journey includes roles such as Creative Coder at VPRO, IT Architect, and lecturer at various educational institutions, showcasing his versatile expertise in both the technical and artistic domains."

I am currently involved in the research group Creative Making Processes and Technology of the HKU University of the Arts and experimental time travels to fight Wirth's law while embracing permacomputing.

This website is built with the principles of permacomputing and therefore utilizes no javascript and minimal cascading style sheet. It's hosted on a simple 'built to last' home router of an ISP. No cloud service involved apart from the DNS registrar.

I hardly do any social media so best contact platform is good old email.
