Dazzle camouflage

Just found this on the world wide web. Very nice wikipedia article about dazzle painting. 'Complex pattern of geometric shapes in contrasting colours', that's the way we like it! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazzle_camouflage

'Dazzle camouflage, also known as Razzle Dazzle or Dazzle painting, was a camouflage paint scheme used on ships, extensively during World War I and to a lesser extent in World War II. Credited to artist Norman Wilkinson, it consisted of a complex pattern of geometric shapes in contrasting colours, interrupting and intersecting each other.'

SYNCHRONATOR device

A few years ago Bas van Kolwijk (media artist) and Gert-Jan Prins (musician who builts his own machines) told me of their quest for a perfect device to translate audio into video signal. If you check the samples and their own stuff the made with the device and if your a media artist, this is a must have!!!!! Be quick because it's limited! Last summer they released a 10 track DVD on the small Cavity label. Its a reflection of their performances with their device.

CARSTEN NICOLAI grid index

A few years ago Gestalten Verlag in Germany published the standard on vector design with Neubau Welt and now they deliver us Grid Index by musician, sound artist Carsten Nicolai the new inspiration standard for grids. You might know Nicolai from his Raster Noton label and his endless aliases he has been publishing music with Alva Noto, Opto, Cyclo, Signal to name a few. The Raster Noton label next to the music is distinctive for its graphic design. Its style has been copied by many but it is so clear when you have a record from the label there will be no doubt about it. For years Nicolai has been also making artwork for exhibitions. The new book (Nicolai has been publishing artwork in books for many years and this is already his 5th book with Gestalten) Grid Index is the first comprehensive visual lexicon of patterns and grid systems. Based upon years of research, Carsten Nicolai has discovered and unlocked the visual code for visual systems into a systematic equation of grids and patterns. The books comes with a CD! A must for graphic designers and art lovers.

MS take-over

What is going on with this world? Microsoft is to take over IKEA? What? Yes, Just got this pointed out by a friend. IKEA is working on a global make-over of their logo. It's going from their futura type logo (which is amazingly powerful) to Verdana. The disgusting type used by Microsoft as it's standard in all their software (check if you don't believe this). We have a pic to proof it: it's a shame, a goddamn shame. Cheaper then this it won't get.... I typed in IKEA change over in google and noticed a great discussion, do it!

SATURN NEVER SLEEPS

Ever since a good friend of mine introduced me to the wonderful world of Sun Ra I'm blown away by his inspiring thoughts and sometimes sublime music. I say with some reservation sometimes because I still feel it difficult to find my way through his out put, both in writing and in music. His drive and creativity is so fascinating that he is for me in the same league as William Burroughs, Marcel Duchamp, Kurt Schwitters and Jack Smith. The Saturn Never Sleeps is a website which was originally created by music producer King Britt and interactive artist Rucyl for two performances specifically dedicated to the music and sound of Sun-Ra. On the twitter of Ras G was a link to this project. And the blog gives an reflection on Sun Ra in an inspiring way. Showing his art, some great spatial music by artists like Ras G, FlyLo and Matthewdavid just to name a few. The website gives an in depth view of a world with inspiring sounds, science project, art and most of the time a mix of these. We want more of these kinda sites and projects.
