About DROPSTUFF MEDIA
DROPSTUFF MEDIA is a pioneer in media design and creates immersive and interactive public experiences. DROPSTUFF conceives, realizes and presents both autonomously and on commission.
Immersive Media Installations
DROPSTUFF MEDIA is a specialist in the development of media installations and exhibitions in public spaces, in inner cities, at festivals, for museums, cultural organizations and during various events.
We depict messages and stories for broad audiences by connecting new techniques to substantive stories and exciting experience concepts. Active participation and audience reach are the keywords in many of our productions. We have experience with the use of artificial intelligence, motion detection and virtual and augmented reality techniques in public experiences.
The Fair Grounds
The Fair Grounds is the playground of the new media art collective DROPSTUFF MEDIA. The project builds a collection of artworks where amusement rides are presented as art installations. New narratives have been added to fairground attractions as well as to old forms of folk culture. Each ride has been updated with rich stories of cultural heritage, the imagination of the arts and the wonderment of new technologies. The result is a truly new fairground where every ride has been modified, enhanced and now tells a surprising story to a mix of generations: folk culture meets high tech and high art!
Educational program
The DROPSTUFF Educational Program consists of various types of media literacy workshops, subdivided into various topics & themes that (young) people are confronted with in daily life. All workshops have both a theoretical and a practical element, so that students can immediately practice the transferred knowledge in practice. The workshops are given by a team of young and driven professionals with knowledge.
LED-Schermen rental
DROPSTUFF MEDIA rents out mobile LED screens for festivals and events. You can use the LED units with 4 mm or 8 mm pixel pitch as a mobile stage, DJ booth, exhibition stand or presentation room. Custom installations are our specialty.

The Water Arch at SXSW Festival March 12-15
DROPSTUFF MEDIA has developed a new installation, ‘The Water Arch’; an interactive installation that playfully brings the ever-increasing use of water to the attention of a wider audience.
It is an abstraction of a classic Dutch barrel organ. By turning a big wheel, the water comes to life. While playing songs from long forgotten days, water is pumped up through a system of tubes and transparent bubbles. Eventually the water collects in a large container above your head. At 134 liters the water is released. Protected by a large transparent dome you experience the power of daily water usage at an instance. 134 liters* is the amount that every person in The Netherlands uses every day on average. In the USA this goes up to 310 liters.* The music is an adaptation of a recording of a famous barrel organ from the 1950s and 1960s from the archive of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision.
From March 12-15, 2023, The Water Arch will be on display at the SXSW Festival Creative Industries Expo in Austin, Texas, USA. *drinkwaterplatform.nl / epa.gov
‘Fair at the Base “- new workshop and experience
https://youtu.be/Ytj6oJytEfk Dit jaar liep wat anders dan vooraf gedacht. Maar we zijn omdenkers, dus zijn we op zoek gegaan naar nieuwe kansen en mogelijkheden. Daarom is onze werkplaats verhuisd naar Park Vliegbasis Soesterberg. En daar presenteren we nu ‘Kermis op de Basis’: een 800 m2 media playground met de installaties van De Koude Kermis als unieke setting voor innovatieve dagprogramma’s gericht op het creëren en versterken van innovatie- en transformatievermogen. De ruimte is daarnaast uitermate geschikt voor uw eigen workshops, heisessies, hybride of online bijeenkomsten tot 25 personen. Uiteraard met goede catering en opties voor grotere events tot 450 personen, straks in betere tijden. Voorlopig volledig ingericht op 1,5 m afstand. We zien er naar uit om elkaar weer snel in het echt te ontmoeten! Meer info? 035-6771912 of kermisopdebasis@dropstuff.nl
