Rob van Kranenburg (b. 1964)
is an innovation and media theorist involved
with negotiability strategies of new technologies and artistic practice,
predominantly ubicomp and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), the
relationship between the formal and informal in cultural and economic
policy, and the requirements for a sustainable cultural economy. He went
to work with Ronald Soetaert in Ghent, in the Educational
Department, developing online learning modules, methods and concepts
drawing on the idea of multiliteracies. In 2000 he went to Amsterdam as
programmer on media education at the center for culture and politics de
Balie and as teacher-coordinator of the new media program in the Film
and Television Studies Department at the University of Amsterdam.
Feeling it was too young a field to predominantly historicize it, he moved
to Doors of Perception and co-programmed with John Thackara Doors 7,
Flow, the design challenge of pervasive computing. In 2003 he mentored
a postgraduate course in performance, theatre and the arts at APT, Arts
Performance Theatricality. For the past three years he has been working
part time at Virtual Platform, Dutch policy and network organization
for e-culture, as interim and co-director and programme manager. He
teaches media theory at Post St Joost (MA Autonomous Art), HKU EMMA
(MA Interaction Design) and /Medialab Amsterdam/ (teamcoach). September
2006 he will head a new BA Ambient Experience Design at the HKU,
Hilversum. As a freelancer Rob has worked for and with Mediamatic,
