Bastards & models
A stupid part of my brain agreed to do nude modelling this thursday. so i’m reading up on this whole pose thing. I found a good article about someone whose experience I might soon be sharing: Slinky-linky
Earlier today I tried to stand still for fifteen minutes. I got so focused on holding still that any tremors I had made me feel like an epileptic seizure victim.

This was fun. I actually smiled and chuckled and then got the wow, this was kool reaction. Control a bunch of lights in Stockholm by using your cellphone, and watch the change through a live video feed here. The project is called “colour by numbers” and isn’t all that original (CCC has done similar things as well as a ton of other groups) but it’s very well executed and you can see the results almost instantly.
I made it all red. Then all green. Then all blue, and finally mixed the blue and green. Ooooh – shiny.

Here’s a good example of making me want something: nuance.com.
it’s a video demo of a speech recognition software, with a follow up “keep up with me by typing” challange. And just to mess with me, they used “the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog…” – which is meant to use all the letters of the alphabet and is a bitch to type fast.
On a good day I get 80 wpm, but even though that’s quite ok for a non-professional, their demo really got me re-evaluating my skillz. Good for them, sucky for me. Too bad it’s a pc only app.
Work in progress
Next show coming up at Gallery 300m3 in ten days time.
I know the title of the work, I know the image. Now I just have to decide on how the hell to present it, and the implications thereof…
I’ve been experimenting with big butt rasterisation. Looks kinda neat, but I’m not sure where I’m heading with this.
Ideas for site specific work
Spread flyers and posters just to create confusion/enlightenment.
Something along these lines:
“Learn the truth about human nature! Meet up for a short and enlightening evening concerning humanity – Why are we unhappy and sad, and how does it relate to the way the world is today. Meet new people and enjoy our complimentary coffee and snacks!”
And of course point it to a non-existing place. Not sure if I should document this or not – Seems like too much work, and I’m nothing if not lazy.
