Every year V2_ organizes the summer sessions to give young artists a change to realize their project. In 2011 WERC was offered a short term residency in the V2_ lab. During these summer sessions they worked in the field of augmented reality. In this lab they received professional support and were provided with all the tools they needed to succeed their project.

A building mapping on the university building of Groningen during the Night of Art & Science.

A pitch for a light sculpture inside the university library of Groningen. This eventually unrealised project became second out of seventeen candidates. The idea of the sculpture grew out of a shared love for typography. On one hand the love as seen through the eyes of graphical designers and on the other hand the love for typography as you read in books and the knowledge that it shares. This is the essance of a university aswell as the library; sharing knowledge. The light sculpture envisions the history of the transfer of knowledge. From the depths of the library the letters fall and crash downwards. They bounce against the walls and plateau's and are reshapen by the building itself. Much like how the knowledge itself changes by the way it is transferred by one person unto the next. In the beginning there were only stories. Whoever told them could give their own spin on whatever it was they told. Writing was already a less subjective form of sharing but could easily alter per version. Eventually the press was invented. Small physical letters made it possible to print in larger number. But every book would still be different. A lot less then previous but purely by existing in another time and space than the other pressings it differs. The digital age has eliminated this problem. A letter can be duplicated indefinitly and, because it exists in a different reality, it stays the same letter. The letters fall, break, adapt, but eventually the total image is one of the history of copying.

Every year in august Noorderzon Performing Arts Festival magically transforms the park called ‘noorderplatsoen’ in a festival area. Thousands of people visit the park every day for two weeks and the greenery surrounding the festival dissapear. WERC wondered if all these visitors did not forget they were in a park surrounded by beautiful trees. Therefore they came up with the plan to make them aware of the trees.

An interactive exposition at the Waterkant in The Hague. Every summer an artists gets invited to host an exposition in an old world war II bunker in The Hague. In the summer of 2012 WERC hosted the exposition 'Perspective'. The audience would walk into a darkned room with the only lights coming from three buttons. On the opposite wall multiple cubes would stick out. Pushing one of the buttons would start an animation. The animation removed the wall and complete the cubes in digital space making them float in a different realm. Each of the buttons would start a slightly different animation, depending on what the viewpoint of the audience would be compared to the cubes.
