I will try to fly through or to San Jose and have a look at the eCloud
Maybe I should go to Munich as well.
I am looking forward to see what artists will come up with in the future in respect to public sculptures: Since the people controlling funds for these concepts have not exactly been bestowed with imagination it is great to see that more contemporary concepts are a reality.
I am sure we have seen nothing yet.
We bought some very nice pictures for our living room:
I really like the work of Siebe Warmoeskerken. It is nice these days that one can buy things directly from the artist. No need for a Gallery getting in the way.
A small vertical slice of (Socal) life. Marvelously documented while it is fading out of existence.
Bought an awesome painting today:
I had not heard of the monome before. I saw one today and it looks very nice. Could be so much fun. If I’d had the time + skills for it. Still a pretty awesome device.
It turns out that Google has fogiven twexus.com for its past sins. The site exists again according to Google. I forgot when the ban started. It was certainly justified back in the day. Long story. Anyway, now it is google-legal again. With a cute little page-rank of 3 even.
In honor of this I bumped the image resolution of its pair play mode up by a notch. Screens got bigger since 2002.
The Rolling Stone writes about audio technology and music and how things have changed in recent years.
Technology and Art influencing each other is a very interesting topic for me. This article touches on a couple of interesting points. Not more though. Without any respect for the matter it tries to discuss it merely assembles unrelated facts and sound bytes along one imaginary audio/digital axies. From production to consumption it bounces back and forth. Emitting half educated statements along the way.
A couple of articles, better researched would have been much better.
The bigger question is how I get my wife to approve the move of the Stereo from the attic into the living room.
Adib Frickes latestword installation is showing at Realace GmbH in Berlin right now. It is hard to judge the work of a friend. I like this room. There was relatively little time between opening day and commision. And it seems, that the work is great, as it always has been. There is a certain directness. Other works, that in the making for months or even years are perfect. But by missing perfection amplifies the initial impact of the work. It might become easier approachable by the unintiated. And, with Adibs work, we all are just that.
War really sucks. It happens if people feel they can gain from it.
Matt Stuart’s pictures are really really nice. He writes that he needs optimism for his work. I like that. I also like that much of his commissioned work is almost as good as the pictures that I would be believe are real found ones.
more predictable, yet still kinda nice are these images from the seventies
Both links I found this morning on BlogsNow. I spend some time yesterday with it. Brought the specific views back, that I had droped a while back. I still like it.
