Stan Wiersmabiography
Stan Wiersma (b. 1996, Groningen, NL) is a sound artist based in Amsterdam. Being hard-of-hearing, he explores the act of mediated listening through performance, improvisation, and broadcasting. With a background in image and media technology, Stan’s practice spans live group performance, site-specific sound works, programming, and experimental forms of publishing.
He is the founder and curator of not@home, an online media archive for freeform radio, and a performer in various collaborative constellations including my imaginary friends (of which I have many) and the music project spullen. Recent performances and presentations include Paradiso, De Melkweg, Tale of A Tub, Kunstpodium T, Garage Noord, and Het Nieuwe Instituut.
Currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Design at the Sandberg Institute, Stan investigates themes of mourning, and listening as a collective, spatial, and embodied practice.

Reader
There are still a few copies available of this reader (on donation). If you want one, please send me an email with your details here.This reader is a collection of text fragments, put together on the occasion of a five-day sailing residency aboard the 'Bree Sant' vessel. While we are waiting for winds and currents, this reader could serve as a starting point for our listening and conversation.
In the process of getting to know each other, resting with friends, sharing and making room, spending time together in various forms —as we have to keep the ship going— the radio platform 'not @ home' will be the host to our odyssey.
Through this channel, our findings will gradually surface, whether sonically, textually or visually.
