I'm an artist and researcher engaged with the issues and cultures surrounding networked computation. I work on with themes such as network infrastructures, the politics of technology and do-it-yourself approaches.

My personal website: https://roelof.info

I'm also part of a variety of small organisations:

• https://homebrewserver.club, a website and gathering for people interested in hosting their own online services from home, rather than using commercial and privacy unfriendly alternatives. We learn together about self-hosting, system management, decentralized and federated technologies and write in-depth contextual articles and technical manuals.

• https://lurk.org a hosting collective focused on discussions around cultural freedom, experimental, new media art, net and computational culture, and things like that. This is part of a family of services that include mailing lists, group chat and a mastodon instance.

• https://varia.zone is a space for developing collective approaches to everyday technology in Rotterdam. varia is an association whose members organize events and collaborate in work groups.

I use liberapay mostly to donate to my favorite free software projects, but in case you feel inclined to support my work please donate to the lurk.org liberapay organization.
