holly garden

I’m Holly Zijderveld, this is my web garden. Although, on second thought, it’s very small, so maybe it’s more like an allotment or a balcony or a patio.

Most generally, I am working around themes of connection, collection, and computing, in the broadest ways you can understand these terms. I interact with these ideas in my practice through research, writing (poetry, fiction, & essays), illustration, textile, publishing & editing, and event & community organising. These ideas also play into my work in technical research support. I read Clarice Lispector, I collect stamps/postcards/fuke-in, I cook vegetarian food, I make clothes for myself.

You can see what I’ve been up to in my log.

Upcoming events I’m a part of:

11-12-2025 Symposium Universal Language I: Human-Computer Interaction – I will be here documenting ideas and summarising at points throughout the symposium! Also on the next day, linked below.
