EGG, an egg that opens the conversation about transition

How do you get residents talking about the energy transition or about water? Studio Puck van Dijk puts down a 4.5 metre egg. Before it went into the neighbourhood, it was tested at KAAP.

What EGG is

EGG is an interactive artwork by Studio Puck van Dijk, the size of a delivery van. Inside the egg, a mysterious creature is brooding that responds to touch, sound and movement with colour and sound. With augmented reality you catch a glimpse of what is inside. Around the egg there are workshops, conversations and recordings for EGG Radio, a podcast the makers produce together with young people.

Why an egg

The municipality of Vlissingen is looking for ways to bring transition questions closer to its residents: how do they deal with the energy transition, with water, with a changing city? An egg stands for something that is brooding but not yet visible. That different image of the word transition opens the conversation, in your own neighbourhood and in your own way.

Where to see EGG

EGG stands in the Dokter Stumphiuspark in Vlissingen in September, from 1 October at the Karolingenburg in Oost-Souburg (opening at 8 pm, on 30 September you can help paint the egg) and from 17 October in the Westduinpark. No registration needed.

Who is behind it

Studio Puck van Dijk from Amsterdam makes immersive theatre, art and audio productions, with Puck van Dijk as artistic director and Anouk van Geffen as managing director. Paniek Kollektief built the egg, Hay Kranen connected sensors, image and sound, Bas Jansen designed the creature in 3D and Flavia Faas made the sound. HZ University of Applied Sciences contributes. EGG is made possible by the Province of Zeeland, the municipality of Vlissingen and the Cultuurfonds.

What is tested at KAAP

In de hal van KAAP is EGG opgebouwd en getest met echt publiek: studenten, basisschoolleerlingen, ondernemers en ambtenaren. Zo kon het team de sensoren, het licht en het geluid afstellen voordat het ei de wijk in ging. Tegelijk peilden ze de fantasie van kinderen: wat leeft er in het ei, en hoe ziet de toekomst eruit?

Testing and demonstrating inspection drones

Terra Inspectioneering builds drones that inspect storage tanks, chimneys and bridges from the inside, so nobody has to climb to height. In the development and demo space at KAAP they test new technology, show it to clients and train their pilots.
