Nomadomo is an artistic research institute (or ‘research group’) in the making, with its own publishing house. The aim is to generate and present knowledge, art and designs, initially only from BGJ Frederiks, but later, I hope, also from others, each under their own name. Nomadomo acts as a publisher, facilitator or group, not as the owner or producer of knowledge.

Nomadomo, alias BGJ Frederiks, produces books, art, presentations, designs, videos and software… on science, technology, art, humanity and society. In principle, these involve inventions or reinventions of something found in nature (such as our brain), or descriptions thereof, which clarify the workings of nature, people and society, or which shed a different light on them, or which otherwise bring happiness. Designs are, in principle, at such an exploratory stage that they must be regarded as art. The method is artistic, but the material is scientific and technical; the result is “truth art” that remains fundamentally unfinished.

Ultimately, it is about the joy of the ongoing development of knowledge and ideas among the creators, readers and viewers; both adults and children.

Book titles will be published here shortly.

 

Movable buildings – that’s an idea of mine that Nomadomo and this website used to stand for: an open-source hardware model for liftable, functional building elements to create energy-efficient, ‘green’ buildings and boats; stack like LEGO® and secure with fittings to form a rigid, self-supporting whole. I’m doing other things now, but you can still read about it here: https://nomadomo.nl/en/theor/ndg/ndg_nomadomo_language.html
