Rozalie Hirs regularly collaborates with visual artists and designers on multidisciplinary projects, such as digital poetry, museum sound installations, and video art. Together with designer Matt Lee and visual artist Noëlle von Eugen, she created Logos digitaal (2003). New media artist Harm van den Dorpel created the digital poetry works Daily (2006), Family Tree (2006), and Geluksbrenger online (2011), as well as the museum installation Leven vorm (2006). Ines Cox and Lauren Grusenmeyer designed Zichtboek van gestamelde werken (2012), in which alter egos of poems are presented on various social media networks. The works Daily (2006), Family Tree (2006), Geluksbrenger online (2011), and Zichtboek van gestamelde werken (2012) were realized with grants from the Dutch Foundation for Literature (Poetry on the Screen / Digital Poetry).
At the request of the open-air museum Klankenbos in Neerpelt, Belgium, Rozalie Hirs, together with Ines Cox, Lauren Grusenmeyer, and architect Machiel Spaan, developed the interactive poetry and music installation Curvices (2013-present), a mobile application. This location-specific app was later translated into Curvices Den Bosch (2014-present) and Curvices Amsterdam (2015-16), commissioned by November Music and Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ. In collaboration with architect Machiel Spaan, the interactive music sculpture Luisterhuis (2017-present) and the architectural sound installation Ways of Space (2019-present) were also created, which have been exhibited at the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven (2017), the van Doesburghuis in Meudon (2019), the Aubette in Strasbourg (2021), the Architekturzentrum Wien in Vienna (2022), and ARCAM in Amsterdam (2022). At her request, visual artists Boris Tellegen and Geert Jan Mulder created a live video performance for the music and poetry cycle dreams of airs (2017-18), performed in the Netherlands and Denmark. All of these projects were supported by the Simuleringsfonds voor de Creatieve Industrie.
The case for a small language network (2024) is a museum installation created by visual artist, designer, and programmer Richard Vijgen at Hirs’ request, based on her poetry collection oneindige zin (2021). The prototype oneindige zin digitaal (2023), a precursor to the museum installation, is permanently available online. This work was supported by the Simuleringsfonds voor de Creatieve Industrie, and the prototype was realized with a grant from the Dutch Foundation for Literature (Digital Literature).
Since 2008, Michaël Snitker has been the regular designer of the poetry collections by Hirs published by Uitgeverij Querido. Marc Vleugels is the designer of the collections published by Uitgeverij Vleugels.
