About Minke
By day I am a media researcher with a background in graphic design. The field of interest I am now pursuing lies in software studies, I wrote my MA thesis about the flagging system as a moderation tool (with a focus on YouTube). I help out companies (amongst which are Soundtrackcity, KVD, Supershirt) figure out some digital stuff. And I am volunteer at a Bits of Freedom; they defend digital civil rights. A cause that I wholeheartedly support.
At night I am VJ VIADUKTAPE™ together with Mariska de Groot, who performs the live VJ input that I execute to the screen in a wild performance. I just finished organizing the independent magazine party CLUB OKAY! at the OK FESTIVAL.
