Whether you are visiting Noorderzon for the first time, or have been a trusty guest for years, the attractive Noorderplantsoen remains the beating heart of the festival. But can you see everything that is going on? Besides all the music performances, eating places, large and small-scale shows, there is still a lot to discover. Illustrator Tineke Meirink exposes ‘the other secrets’ of the festival. Free and for nothing!

Especially for Noorderzon, and in conjunction with Jeroen Smeets, she developed an app that guides you through and around the park in a surprising and amusing way. Apparently uninteresting items such as litter and bird-droppings are animated by the addition of a minimal illustration. Stop:watch teaches you to look at things better!
