Description (in English)

'Toilets' was meant to be read as a bathroom-book. Two young people move into the same apartment, while they have only just met each other. The odd thing about the apartment is that it has two toilets. A great luxury, but after a while the two toilets become a fort.

't Hooft uses focus blocks. If you tap on the screen a new focus block appears.

Description (in original language)

Toiletten (84 bladzijdes, knalroze kaft) was ooit bedoeld als een goed wc-boek. Een verademing na alle wijzespreuken- en moppenboeken, maar nog steeds één hoofdstuk per boodschap.

Mijn debuutroman, over een jong stel dat gaat samenwonen in een klein appartement waar vreemd genoeg twee wc’s zijn.Tien jaar later is er de jubileum-app, waarin je Toiletten op een nieuwe manier leest: met focusblokken. Tik je onder in beeld, dan komt het volgende blok uitvergroot naar boven. Luister je liever? Met de afspeelknop zet je stemacteur Sjors Houkes aan het werk.

Every hour, this bot draws language from wikiHow, repackages and recontextualizes it as a sexting message, and tweets it. Part of its process is to add pronouns “I,” “you,” or both to the instructions and actions described, in addition to prefacing each tweet with “sext.” Its output invites readers to interpret bland, utilitarian language metaphorically because it’s conceptually framed as sexting. The scenario of people sending sexually explicit messages back and forth, describing things they are doing to their bodies, contrasts sharply with the step-by-step instructions common to wikiHow, resulting in surprising and humorous results. Follow this bot on Twitter to learn many new euphemisms for sexual acts and the expressive potential of conceptual reframing. (Source: Editorial Statement from the works collection site)

Dream Blog is a personal diary. In fact, it isn’t really a diary if by “diary” we refer to the events that take place during the day time. It is better to call it a “nightry” as it registers what happened in my dreams during the nights of 2007 and 2008. Being a "nightry" it is written with white ink.

Description (in original language)

El blog de los sueños es un diario personal. En realidad, no es un diario, si con diario nos referimos al registro de lo que sucede durante el día, sino más bien un "nocturnio" dado que registró mis sueños durante las noches de los años 2007 y 2008. Por ser un "nocturnio" está escrito con tinta blanca.
