It's time for a lovely DM Movie Night again! This time we're watching a movie that exposes its beauty equally in visuals and character. After Yang (2021) is about the loss of an extraordinary family member, set in the not-too-distant future where humanoid AIs are nearly indistinguishable from humans. The movie makes you think about...Continue Reading "Movienight: After Yang" →

During the exam week the board has finally found the time to properly clean and reorganise the studio. To celebrate this we are organising an archive-exploration-activity, where we use our old slide-projectors to look back to DM’s 60 years of history. During the clean-up we also found a lot of unused gear. These items will...Continue Reading "Studio Auction + Archive exploration (Members only)" →

Paintings, we have all seen so many of them. Museums are filled with portrets ranging from hundreds of years ago to modern abstract pieces. When looking at the older pieces, a lot can still be translated to our modern day society. It will of course look at little difference but messages from the painters rarely...Continue Reading "OCW: Modern take on paintings (Public)" →

As photographers we love light, but sometimes you have to work with a little less light, especially when your activity starts at 20:00 and it’s still only the 14th of February. Since night will still fall quite early, we are doing a long exposure activity! You can of course place your camera on a tripod...Continue Reading "OCW: Long exposure (Public)" →

In this Open Culture week we will revive an old DM classic: steel wool spinning!

So make sure...Continue Reading "OCW: Steel wool spinning (Public)" →

During the last part...Continue Reading "OCW: The Crazy 52 (Public)" →

It is already time for the half yearly General Member Meeting. Time is going by so quickly this year we would almost forget the amount of innovation DM is going through. For this GMM it will not concern the boring but very important statute updates or bylaw changes (okay maybe a little bit). But this...Continue Reading "General Member Meeting (Members only)" →

We all know and understand photography as an art on its own. But how can it be used to complement other art? In this activity we will explore this by taking and finding images that enhance another artistic production, more specifically a play. We will have a few scenes from the lunafest collaboration ‘Journey’, and...Continue Reading "Photography as a supporting medium" →

During three Wednesday evenings we will go over various important topics of video making. You will learn...Continue Reading "Videography Basic Course part 1 (public event)" →
