I visited Arne at Mediamatic, where he organised a nine course cabbage dinner, to show that other values than money can also play a role.
Johan van den Noort is a Dutch artist who has designed serveral solutions for flexible water managment that have been implemented all over the world. I visited him in his studio in Kampen to look at his flexible flood barrier and tsunami barrier.
