Understanding the context, a guided walk with Bart Stuart
Bart is a longterm artist/ activist with a studio present at NDSM. He took us on a tour in the local area dissecting language and strategies by real estate developers and city council. The aim was to break down the narrative in order to reclaim the space of NDSM on our own conditions.
The NDSM area has a long history as a site of technological innovation, collective labour, and knowledge-sharing through shipbuilding, traces of which remain present in the neighbourhood and its residents today. By hosting HDSC2026 "Clouds to Commons" at NDSM Kunststad, H&D builds a bridge between this industrial past and contemporary artistic practices that critically engage with digital infrastructure. NDSM has been the ground to rapid transformation, with new residents and real estate development reshaping the neighborhood. It's important to question these processes and ou our presence as artists and makers.
You were invited to dress comfortably for a 2 hour field trip, to bring water, a hat, a notebook and a pencil. We observed and individually took notes. In a secret inner garden we worked as a collective to understand and breakdown the narrative. And build it up on our own terms!
