Mike & MaaikeARTIST'S STATEMENTWe joined to form a collaborative that experiments on subjects that we find challenging, surprising and useful. By experimentation as a collaborative work process we develop strong conceptual foundations and therefore do not attempt to arrive at a preconceived and static goals.We mix our diverse high-tech and low-tech design background with our collage of interests to create products, wearables and art pieces. Most of which are in search of perpetual motion and human interaction.
