Applause Machines: Front Page News

A photo of our Applause Machines has made it on to the front page of a Dutch national newspaper

.

The NRC Handelsblad chose to publish the above image for the weekend edition (28 Feb - 1 March) while we were at the Kinetica Art Fair in London.

My Dutch language skills aren't so great (only been here 7 years....) but my friends in Utrecht translated that all the other stories on the front page aren't very good news. Therefore it's nice for the NRC readership to see a big, cheerful, orange Applause machine to give a few hundred thousand people something to smile about.

Fair Play

One of our main goals at Laikingland is to encourage everyday playfulness through people enjoying our products.

An interactive exhibition of 50+ Applause Machines at the Kinetica Art Fair seemed like a handy (sorry) way to get our message across ....

This lady seemed to get it!!! Fair play to her.

All the fun of the Kinetica Art Fair

All the fun of the Kinetica Art Fair

It has been an amazing weekend here at the Kinetica Art Fair. The opening night attracted over 2500 people, some old, some very young, but all of them smiled when they saw the Applause Machines. I think we met and talked to just about everyone who came through the door and as a result both Nick and I lost our voices.
