COLLIDERS Playful Makers Meet-up



Glitzineknubum is a seasonal zine making session to help us reflect and share what we did the last 3 months, away from social media! 
Sickhouse will support with printers, glue, glitter, colour paper, magazines… You can bring your photos (printed or on your phones and camera), bring your favorite material to create your own Glitter Zine Knutsel Album!

Come with your friends, your family or by yourself, it will be great doing this together and share memories, proud moments and little stories…

At the end of the day, for the ones who dare we will get rid of the surplus of images from the last 3 months and free our phones. (Bring your hard-drive if you need to save some!)

 Glitzineknubum - seasonal zine making

From the depths of dusty film cans, late-night television broadcast, forgotten drive-ins and questionable basements… the monsters are returning, one by one.

 is a new cinematic ritual devoted to the glorious age of monsters, mostly from before 1970, and occasionally after, if the creature insists.

Every Monday night we summon all vampires, mutants, swamp creatures, radioactive nightmares, gothic specters, and all the beautiful horrors that crawled out of the golden age of monster movies.

The films will remain a surprise. We will discover it together in the dark…

Before the screening begins, we enter a one-minute meditation guided by the sacred mantra of 

 to properly align mind, body and monster spirit. Then the lights go down.

Grab a drink. Take a seat. Eyes wide open.

Cinema Obscura is a curated film screening program focused on cult, experimental, and unconventional cinema, created by Aike Lutkemoller and Frank Schonewille many years ago.

In the early days, the films were never announced in advance and the spectators discover them either through the introduction by the organizers or even during the screening itself.

The program is challenging, controversial and unique. Each screening is meant to be a special experience, beginning at the moment you sit down in our vintage cinema chairs from 1936. You are invited to react, interact, discuss, scream, laugh and embrace the shared discovery of strange films.

Cinema Obscura will run throughout the year with a monthly screening. Some films will be announced, some will remain a mystery…

Cinema Obscura: Film Night 

Led by Rein van der Woerd and Janne Schimmel.



Join us for an experimental, hands-on workshop, where we bring the iconic Nintendo WiiMote back to life.

Together, we’ll experiment with turning this (in)famous controller into a creative input device for new games or software. Inspired by the ideas of permacomputing (a movement focused on reuse, resilience, and sustainable tech) we’ll explore the possibilities and limitation of this old tech, just in time for the WiiMote’s 20th anniversary.
It will be a day of fun and open experimentation and by the end of the day we will hopefully have a (working) software prototype. 

Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced coder, you’re warmly invited to join.
