Should I stay or should i go...tonight to overtoom la, la, la la,



lyrics:
"i'm thinking if i should stay or not,ajajajaja. should i kiss her or not? because i know she's very jealous,territeritera. especially when i leave late at night somewhere. i told myself not to go, but still i go. we're not allowed to talk when i'm drunk! daradarida, daradidada i know she is very proud! i asked her not to kill my head anymore. and i know she's very jealous, and she wants to keep me at home..."

Gerhard Richter



Gerhard Richter's 15-painting cycle is quite simply one of the most important works of art of the second half of the 20th century. Now in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, the collection of black and white oil paintings drew from ubiquitous photographs of the Baader-Meinhof era. Angering the German public when it first appeared in the late 1980s, it has become recognized as Richter's masterwork.

Kehinde Wiley Vs. Ingres



Napoleon On His Empirial Throne Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, 1806



Ice T Kehinde Wiley, 2005

What is Kehinde Wiley trying to do here? A cover, a remix or a streetview on classical painting? Or maybe he wants to tell us how kitschy Ingres paintings were already, we never realized?
The Perversion of postmodern theory - by penetraiting past aesthetic values even the real heavy stuff becomes cliche... Not even to mention a rappers desire to start verbal wars! Name me one rapper who's name is not Napoleon?

If you like what you see go here
And if you never heard of Ingres please move yo ass over here.

Mouths Shooting Off - Die Antwoord's US debut at Coachella: interview with Xeni (Boing Boing Video)

mimetics


To enable the robot’s speaking abilities, engineers at Japan’s Kagawa University used an air pump, artificial vocal chords, a resonance tube, a nasal cavity, and a microphone attached to a sound analyzer as substitutes for human vocal organs. The robot not only talks, but it uses a learning algorithm to mimic the sounds of human speech. By inputting the voices of both hearing-impaired and non-hearing-impaired people into the microphone, researchers were able to plot the differences in sound on a map. During speech training, the robot “listens” to the subjects talk while comparing their pronunciation to that of subjects who are not hearing-impaired. The robot then generates a personalized visualization that allows subjects to adjust their pronunciation according to the target points on the speech map.

A Few Lines About The Flyer



good morning partypeople!! here is my wannabe theory about the flyer inna few lines in bad english, about: what are we looking at here? it is a skeleton of a dog, we have an x-ray view on a carrier -(of course there is a link to the word career, but that goes a bit too far now,not?) structure: the bones. what makes it to an opening? well a surgery man "opens" the body to see whats inside, right? think for yourself now! i dont care about the other colours around,maybe a childish rainbow, or whatever... and the red colour? well the names represented in red are the bloodlines of that whole system.the blood is so to say what makes a body to an organism, keeps it alive. as you can see, it is not really clear wheather we (our names) are inside the corpse or not. but we have at least two possible directions indicated in and/or out of the dog!... huh?

... oorlog



Patatje oorlog

Patatje oorlog verschilt per regio, kan zijn:

- a) friet met pindasaus en mayonaise, naar keuze nog aangevuld met rauwe (gesnipperde) uitjes.
- b) friet met mayonaise, ketchup, currysaus, pindasaus en uien.
- c) friet met mayonaise, pindasaus, currysaus en rauwe (gesnipperde) uitjes, maar zonder ketchup.

In België is een "Friet oorlog" friet met stoofvleessaus, mayonaise en ketchup.

De toevoeging oorlog is een verwijzing naar het slordige toevoegen van de ingrediënten, alsof het om een slagveld gaat. Ook de toevoeging van curry (in het verleden vaak ketchup) zal in het ontstaan van de naam hebben bijgedragen en zo bezien een lugubere naam. Er waren nog wel andere namen voor dit recept in omloop, die een even nare connotatie hebben, zoals het patatje overweg. Er is getracht een minder lugubere benaming in te voeren ('frietje feest'), maar dit sloeg in het geheel niet aan.

Patatje feest

Patatje feest is een na de Tweede Golfoorlog ingevoerde politiek correcte benaming van patatje oorlog.

Ook werd er in 1998 gepoogd de naam van patatje oorlog in patatje feest om te dopen. De gebruikelijke aanduiding is echter nog steeds patatje oorlog.

Patatje vrede

De aanstootgevende naam van het patatje oorlog heeft er bij enkele snackbars toe geleid dat zij de lokale patat oorlog omgedoopt hebben in een patatje vrede.

Don't upload or submit any videos there if you don't want to be snitched on. dont do it here.

runnin booty, slow march



I used the music video, Sissy Nobby's Runnin Booty, for the assignment on video/audio. By slowing down the audio and imagery to a more grueling pace, the viewer can disengage from it's obvious sexual mechanism and view other layers of the video.

Proposal for our Opening



i had a crazy idea last night. why dont we skip our works (only out of the big white room) and work only with the given architecture & structures in it. we use the room and all the little accidents happen to it. a performance of dirt spots on the wall, plants, the soundsystem, patterns on the floor, neonlights... and just "design" the big white room! in the 2 other rooms we put a very small selection of drawings,paintings or photos from everybody! e's thinking of radical compositions to fusion our energy like this!

Marilyn Monroe - My heart belongs to Daddy


The original version

GOTTA' REACH CONSENSUS [these lyrics fit "My heart belongs to Daddy"

Lyrics made by Dr. McGrath, researcher and theorist in the field of group psychology
Rearranged by Keiko

Though conflict looms
In meeting rooms
No matter what matters may
tense us
We just ain't free
To disagree
Cause we gotta' reach Consensus

We must define
A party line
This isn't a time for defenses!
We all must play
The groupthink way
Cause we gotta' reach Consensus

Oh we gotta' reach Consensus
Or teacher is
gonna get mad!
Oh we gotta' reach Consensus
Conflict's bad,
really bad, bad, bad!

Yes we gotta' reach Consensus
Gotta' cease and desist
all this gab!
Oh we gotta' reach Consensus
Or we'll never get
out of this discussion!

Bachar File (#17) - The Atlas Group



Walid Raad is writing a history of contemporary events in Lebanon, a seemingly comprehensive essay using video, the Internet, performance, collage, and digital photography, not to mention prose in English, French, and Arabic. Given its scope and the obsessive nature of the cataloguing, it's not surprising that Raad has enlisted help in the form of the Atlas Group, a foundation comprising various individuals and institutions, some of which exist independently of their relationship to Raad and some of which don't. That is, the Atlas Group is real, but some of its components are made from a fictional fabric.

sound princess



Because many Japanese women are embarrassed to have other people hear the sounds of the more private bodily functions, most ladies' rooms in department stores and office buildings are equipped with a device commonly known as the Otohime — originally the brand name of a product developed by Toto Ltd. — that emits the sound of a toilet flushing.
