Exhibition Concept
In The Ice Age, you dive into the lives of the ‘big five’ of prehistoric Netherlands: the woolly mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, steppe bison, cave lion, and cave hyena. Along a scale model, with surprisingly realistic videos visible through binoculars, these animals come to life, hunting prey, becoming victims, giving birth, and dying. The exhibition shows how everything in nature is interconnected, even in the icy Netherlands of tens of thousands of years ago. Fossils from that time provide insight into this fascinating ecosystem.

Exhibition Concept
The traveling installation WeAreData, launched on May 15, 2016, focuses on the public debate around the collection and storage of personal data and the resulting questions about safety and privacy. As technology advances, this issue will only become more critical.
Studio Daniel Ament designed the Mirror Room for this project, commissioned by initiator, producer, and graphic designer Tijl Akkermans. WeAreData goes beyond Big Data discussions related to social media and focuses on the physical and emotional data that people emit, knowingly or unknowingly. The installation uses sensors, cameras, and monitors to capture visitor reactions and provide feedback after the visit. The software for the installation, developed by VicarVision, uses FaceReader for full facial expression analysis.
