Project: Testerep

Oostende Move

This is a proof of concept game that briefly shows how Ostend moved over the years. The geographical data do not really match the effective results.

Testerep experiments

In this video we compiled several experiments leading up to the Testerep expo (21/12/2024). These experiments vary from simulations to abstract visualisations, to realistic interpretations.

TESTEREP en het verzonken Oostende

The trading city of Ostend once flourished at the eastern end of ‘Testerep’. But in 1394 disaster struck: the Saint Vincent storm destroyed the city, which disappeared into the water.

The old city comes alive before your eyes through striking visualizations. This exhibition tells the story of survival and reconstruction, and how the dynamics of the sea have shaped lives on our coast over the centuries.

Go back in time and be amazed by historical artifacts and innovative soil scans. Isabella and Willem, residents of old Ostend, take the youngest visitors in tow in an exciting escape game. You can also help build a LEGO model of old Ostend.

A science exhibition for young and old, where experience is central.

Testerep @ DOCVILLE

Due to the great success of the opening evening, Testerep & Coral City will be shown repeatedly at the festival, on Thursday 28.03 (at 7.30 pm) in Cinema ZED Vesalius. A team of scientists investigates the missing island of Testerep on the Belgian coast. As the scientists try to unravel the mysteries of the island, they ponder the symbiotic relationship between people, technology and our temporal landscape.

Opening night Scienceville

For the second year in a row, ScienceVille presents recent scientific documentaries that really must be seen. There are also panel discussions, workshops, debates, ScienceVille for Kids, the award for Best Scientific Documentary and the visit of Nobel Prize winner Prof. Kip Thorne. Opening ScienceVille, supervised by Jacotte Brokken, is three short documentaries, two of which were produced by the festival itself.

Everything Procedural 2024

From Monday April 15 to Friday April 19 2024 Breda University of Applied Sciences will host the Everything Procedural Conference for a variety of lectures, talks, demonstrations and masterclasses in the field of procedural content generation for games on our beautiful campus. The event offers many opportunities to meet and share knowledge with fellow developers.

Testerep

The Flemish coast has a long and complex history. The modern landscape is the result of the interaction between both natural processes and human interventions. Although research into the history of this region has already provided us with a lot of information, many detailed questions still remain, for example, exactly how the coastline evolved over the past 5000 years.
