Applause - Orson Welles

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I will say that the guy above is Orson Welles in the movie Citizen Kane which he both directed and starred in. The main character of the movie is based on another nice gentleman by the name of William Randolph Hearst. A very interesting person who was involved in a great many things like newspaper publishing as well as making grass illegal nevertheless he also grandfathered this woman from the Symbiones Liberation Army.

So you could ask why this post, will you?
Probably you will not and since I think so let me say:
Never ever look at something without at least trying to put it into context and that context should definitely not be limited to "art". Life is too precious!

Signing off!

Keep sharing and see you on "Judgement Day"! (3rd or 4th keep forgetting!)

So you think you can draw?

Personally i don't give a thing about these drawings, i just found out (5min ago) he's one of damien hirst's favourite artist and i must say he has drawing -`´- skills, but he's not really shockingly good to me. maybe he needs to get a life f-(h)irst. who's the best, rich or not, bitch or whot? someone?

oh forgot from here natürlich!

A New Life

Life is simply information,ladies & gentlemen and nothing else, cheers !!

Episode Eight: Let Me Hear Your Body Talk

REFF

"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don't bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: "It's not where you take things from - it's where you take them to.""

(Jim Jarmusch)

Perpetual Battles

BAIBAKOV art projects will inaugurate its new exhibition space on the Paveletskaya Naberezhnaya with "Perpetual Battles," a group exhibition that considers the creative potential of conflict, engaging artists who actively isolate, investigate, and aggravate the violence underlying the everyday experience of contemporary society. The exhibition features new works and site-specific commissions by Adel Abdessemed, Saadane Afif, Wilfrid Almendra, Latifa Echakhch, Claire Fontaine, Cyprien Gaillard, Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige, Thomas Hirschhorn, Oscar Tuazon, Ida Tursic and Wilfried Mille, and Raphael Zarka.

R.I.P. - Sans-Papiers

Just heard the sad news that a great comrade in protests passed away. 'Sans-Papiers' the black female dog that was always there, peacefully protesting, holding a placard, died on Saturday 8 of May of kidney failure and brain bleeding. Her last demostration was on the 5th of May. Her last placard 'words' were "SMASH CAPITALISM - Fuck the International Misery Fund - European Uprising". She left behind her three 2month puppies and a novel legacy of a silent but powerful fight. More >>here<<

Things to know about the BLOG CD

Hello Ladies and gentlemen.

I have news from the print guy who's gonna print our CD's.

He made an offerte for 50 cd's, with print on cover and a print on the cd itself. The cost are gonna be around €130 ex BTW with the €100 we have from Manel is this gonna cost us around €5 eruo's each. But there are some limitations or better said freedoms in domain that we have to think about. In the example above you can see what is possible for the CD. The things that work best are:
• Line drawings
• Outlines
• Stencils
• Text (min 10 pt)
Every thing is done by hand so the press has a kind of fled that makes the detailed drawings a bit fuzzy.
The CD contains 6 sides (incl the tracklist side) where we can put some drawings on. Also the CD (diameter 120 mm) itself we can print, but this is best if we do it in Black because otherwise it takes too much time and money. For the cover of the CD we can use another color (pink, yellow, fluorescent etc. etc) but only one color, this because of the same arguments.
Here you can find a template you can open in Photoshop and already has the dimensions and everything in one layer you can turn on and off. There's also another layer with the background and another layer for your artwork. For the people that don't have Photoshop you can get a JPEG.
So shortened for the Cover:
• One color
• Keep it simple but powerful
• No photo's
• Cover has 6 sides

CD: Template
• Only black
• Keep it simple
• 120 mm diameter

If the print guy can recieve everything around the 26 or 27th of may i can finish it for sure at the presentation.
Knock yourself out.

P.s. I'll try to be there tomorrow.

HPVS (Human Phantom Vibration Syndrome) - Christopher Baker

HPVS (Human Phantom Vibration Syndrome) from Christopher Baker on Vimeo.

HPVS (Human Phantom Vibration Syndrome) is a kinetic sculpture that considers the subtle, often-subconscious ways that mobile communication technologies shape our senses. The title references the recently discovered Human Phantom Vibration Syndrome — a syndrome wherein mobile phone users become hyper-attentive to their mobile devices, often experiencing phantom ringing sensations even in the absence of incoming calls or messages. This work carefully orchestrates the vibrations of a collection of mobile phones to produce a familiar yet quietly-disturbing cacophony.

The beatbox is a programmable, physical drum machine first shown in 2005.
The dial controls tempo (in this case all the tappers are synchronised to a fixed loop length so changing the tempo just increases the loop duration, stretching the sequence). One button is play/pause, and the other button changes the mode to the free play mode where you can set each tapper duration individually, creating phasing rhythms.

Impossible motion: magnet-like slopes - Koukichi Sugihara

Top 10 finalist of the Best Visual Illusion of the Year Contest 2010
Koukichi Sugihara
Meiji Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematical Sciences, Japan

In this video, wooden balls roll up the slopes just as if they are pulled by a magnet. The behavior of the balls seems impossible, because it is against the gravity. The video is not a computer graphic, but a real scene. What is actually happening is that the orientations of the slopes are perceived oppositely, and hence the descending motion is misinterpreted as ascending motion. This illusion is remarkable in that it is generated by a three-dimensional solid object and physical motion, instead of a two-dimensional picture.

Scottish percussionist and composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all of her hearing by age 12. Rather than isolating her, it has given her a unique connection to her music.

DEEPHORIZON - UBERMORGEN.COM

May 6, 2010

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OIL PAINTING: THE SUPREME DISCIPLINE OF ART. THE OIL SLICK, THE SIZE OF PUERTO RICO, IS BEGINNING TO PAINT COASTLINES

Digital Oil Paintings: http://UBERMORGEN.COM/DEEPHORIZON

The supreme discipline of art - oil painting - is back. It has been 13 days since a BP oil and gas exploration well blew out, setting fire to the drilling rig, which sank, killing 11 people. Ever since, crude oil has been leaking into the Gulf of Mexico, raising the prospects of a historic environmental disaster. Winds from the southeast have nudged the slick northward, where it floated Saturday near the coasts of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi and has begun to paint the coastlines.

Finally oil painting has evolved into generative bio-art, a dynamic process the world audience can watch live via mass media. Never before has this art form been as revelant and visible as today - only 9-11 was nearly as perfect, but in the genre of performance art. An oil painting on a 80.000 square miles ocean canvas with 32 million liters of oil - a unique piece of art.

We exclusively use aeriall images from the oil spill. The files are ready-mades but we waived our right to use them "as is" and decided to use a special digital technique to produce a statement about the disconnection of form and color and about contemporary and futuristic imaging procedures. We use a compressor (sorenso codec) and consumer video editing-software and manually loop 2 frames, the image becomes liquid, transforms and deformes. These visualisations represent the "Verkuenstlichung" of nature and the "Vernatuerlichung" of art. Unedited oil-paintings of the event can be found via search-engines, on boston.com or on the NASA Earth Observatory website.

UBERMORGEN.COM are well known for similar projects. What they wanted to achieve with these alienating and retro-visual "web-paintings", as they call it, is not clear. "Since we work for digital penetration of the art market " declared Hans Bernhard "we should get used to radical changes of our networked point of view and in particular about new forms of digital painting".

"I saw the NASA earth observatory images and I was blown away", lizvlx stated "Finally traditional painting made its comeback as a high-tech innvovative art form and not as the starving grandparent of photography, video, digital art and performance. As a former painter I am thrilled and as a digital artist I want to work this material until it bleeds".

"We're breaking new ground here. It's hard to formulate a defense for an artwork exploiting a human caused desaster that has no precedent, which is what this is," Curator Felix Vogel said, defending the artist duo UBERMORGEN.COM against not writing a response for "what is just a shift of perspective what you couldn't anticipate, but possibly with big impact on the art business."

After the images and the video circulated online the feedback hit hard on UBERMORGEN.COM: "It is perverted and sick to compare a mass media spectacle and natural desaster with the century old tradition of fine art painting" comments a curator who chose to remain anonymous "it is obvious that this comes from the ice-breaking european techno-art avant-garde. They step onto our fine tradition without the slightest idea of the consequences - and i am not talking about the butterfly effect"!

UBERMORGEN.COM have a record of experimental projects and radical positions. In 2001 they broadcast a live-webpainting "Attack on Democrazy" during the first 8 hours of the 9-11 attacks. They intuitively understood that the attack was a mass media intrusion, a "Media Hack". They are infamous for their Vote-Auction Media Hack, featuring the buying and selling of individual votes during the presidential election Al Gore vs. G.W. Bush in the year 2000. Since 2001 they work on different series of web-paintings, by definition non-functional websites serving as images rather than interactive document-structures.

St. Sebastian

Ah, why nobody paints like Andrea Mantegna anymore? All these horrible renaissance painters that came after. With all their perspective tricks and ecxact measurements. I adore the byzantinian tradition, "die Steinwerdung der Körper". Who can tell more about it than St. Sebastian? Everything else is blood,blood,blood...A Zombification of the body in clandestine gestures. Eversince then the body wasn't rescued and prepaired in paint, for eternity, anymore!

TIPS: How Much Is That... - Patti Page

how about extending your line of merchandise (remember guys u r already making CD) for the final presentation so in addition to CD:

- DCo2008 pill dispenser (7 days version)
- DCo2008 incense sticks (préférable same scent as perfume) and/ or also could hack an ambipur "unieke geurverspreiders en geurideeën" with built-in motion sensor 4 a handy lo-fi interactive dogtime air-freshener
- DCo2008 perfume
