NEW DUTCH MASTERS
SAM FELDT
Dutch DJ, producer, platinum selling artist and sustainability pioneer, Sam Feldt has built a career upon his distinctly feel-good sound. Sam already has a double album and a multitude of top-selling releases under his belt. Besides his musical activities he has developed a platform – Fangage – for artists to connect with their fans better. Characterized by heavy use of vocals and live instruments, Sam Feldt’s music is warm and intimate, and lends itself especially well to true live performance.
For Remastered Sam created the opening track of the main experience: “I chose the work of Jeroen Bosch I wanted to transform his world into a magical world.”

Developing something of this magnitude was certainly a daunting challenge, but thanks to their openness and trust, and the enthusiasm and effort of our team, we are happy and excited of having brought this project to completion.
Our tasks were riddled with artistic and technical obstacles. Consistent and incremental research and development processes were therefore crucial in finding the right balance between complexity and performance. We spent for instance a considerable amount of time researching the best way to simulate the organic and beautiful motion of schools of fish and flocks of birds, which form the backbone of our content.
These simulations run in real-time, using a distributed system, and are never-repeating, constantly-evolving generative processes. Our final goal nonetheless was to hide the technology as much as possible so that the experience of the environments is convincing, memorable and approachable for everyone.
We believe that the Remastered will prove to be an exciting location worth visiting in Rotterdam and hope that the visitors have as much fun exploring the installations as we had in building them.
Woodwork Amsterdam
REMASTERED is the brainchild of founder Robin Groenveld. He approached Woodwork to bring his vision for the main show to life. Tackling the full-blown creative process from design to execution, Woodwork co-directed, animated and produced the main show for REMASTERED.
Crafted to blur the boundaries of perception and spark curiosity, the resulting experience entertains, intrigues, and astounds visitors at literally every turn with 360° of 22k resolution visuals.
Woodwork strived to create a unique framework for each of the Dutch Masters, to present the visitor with a new and refreshing perspective on these world famous artists.
Woodwork is an Amsterdam-based boutique creative studio founded in 2011 by Creative Director Marvin Koppejan. Using visual storytelling and motion design to unleash inspired creative content, Woodwork was uniquely qualified to create the diverse visual journey for the main show.
It was an inspiring and challenging project in which creativity, technology and organization were put to the test in various ways.

YiPP
Your first encounter inside Remastered is the Playground. We created an interactive installation with a huge WOW-factor. YIPP loves to work on interactive installations where physical and digital elements intertwine. And that’s exactly the idea of the Playground: your hand-made drawing disappears into a scanner and then appears in 3D on the largest indoor LED screen in Europe.
In the concept phase, we searched for the best visual style with Robin Groenveld from Remastered. In the end, we opted for beautiful saturated tones and fully hand-drawn illustrations and animations. The scanner folds your 2D drawing around a 3D model and sends it to the LED screen, where it takes on a life of its own. A range of custom-made effects can now be added to your drawing: from fireworks to a gigantic octopus.
SMACK
We produce films and digital art inspired by contemporary culture. Their work explores mass behaviour, surveillance, the pervasiveness of branding and personal identity in the information age.
A digital triptych inspired by Jeroen Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights. Our work at Remastered is a mirror of the present day. Always-on technology, ubiquitous branding, environmental collapse; SMACK call out contemporary ills using 3D animation and shrewd references to popular culture.

THNDR Studio
The Old Masters in Sonic Experience with a 10.1 surround sound system. The main hall of Remastered is exceptional also as far as the audio is concerned. In few places in the world is everything so custom built. At THNDR we understand 10.1 sound systems and can ensure that the story of the Old Masters comes to life.
From small sounds in every corner to explosions and absurdly low frequencies that make your trouser legs dance. Creating a tension with sound, that literally moves around you and takes you through the story, was particularly fun and interesting to create, with our team at THNDR Studio.
CO2 REMASTERED
In cooperation with greenleisure.nl and with the help of milieubarometer.nl we have charted our CO2-footprint. REMASTERED is expected to emit approximately 361 tonne of CO2. Because the electricity that is provided to us is 100% green (see: duurzaam010.nl) our footprint is reduced to about 65 tonne CO2 per year.
We take several measures to further reduce our footprint. The CO2 that remains is set off by us. This can be done in many different ways such as through buying emission-rights, planting of trees, buying of green energy or through the support of many other projects.
On July 4, 2021 we have already set off 67 tonne of CO2 by ‘buying’ 181 trees (view certificate) through treesforall.nl. This makes REMASTERED not in 2050 or 2030 but immediately as of our opening in 2021 carbon neutral.
