Who is Joren?


JOREN VANDENBROUCKE

Over a hundred years ago Jules Vandenbroucke picked up pieces and debris from a land that was shot to pieces and out of these chunks he built a sawing mill driven by steam power. Wood became his vocation and as business started to thrive he figured everything was fine and carried on. 40 kilometers to the east another family built a house out of pieces and debris on the torn ground of West-Flanders. This was a family of carpenters, who also had made their vocation out of wood. The great-great-grandson that came out of the union of these two families is now once again staring up at the trees and wondering what vocation should sustain him and what he has to do with all the pieces and debris that surround him.

The Great Escape centers around the three geraniums living on Patrick’s windowsill who are dying of boredom. When they steal Patrick’s smartphone and connect to the outside world through social media shit goes down and the titular ‘great escape’ comes within grasp of their tiny leaves.

   Patania is a game inspired by the adventures of real-life deepseabed mining robot Patania II from GSR. The robot got lost at sea during tests in April 2021 and was only recovered 4 days later. This game speculates about what Patania had going on during those days, accompanied by the sound of Annelies Van Hijfte and Jo De Geest.  
Joren has built out a fleet of VR devices over the years.

One time soprano Annelies Van Hijfte had a hard time finding someone to make decent recordings of her performances.

Joren thought ‘ That is strange, how hard could this possibly be?’ And so, Joren ran once again into the trap of his naïevité, and found out it was indeed harder than he thought.

But by the time he figured that out he had bought all the equipment and now he has to make this money back.
