Bouquet Final

French conceptual artist Michel Blazy makes rare use of white foam. His latest installation called »Bouquet Final« was located inside a 13th century monastery near the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. This free-flowing, floodable substance was bubbling a collection of amazing cloud formations into the classic architecture of the building in an impressive way. The foam was produced by a generator from behind the installation. For more examples of Blazy’s work, visit his gallery. Beware: installation is not suitable for foam parties.

Masks

Take a look at these fantastic masks made by the wonderful Bertjan Pot studio, very mystical and more a product of chance: »Although seemingly these masks tell stories, this again started out as a material experiment. I wanted to find out if by stitching a rope together I could make a large flat carpet. Instead of flat, the samples got curvy. When I was about to give up on the carpet, Vladi came up with the idea of ​​shaping the rope into masks. The possibilities are endless, I’m meeting new faces every day.«

Out of Place

In Robert Rickhoffs world cities are filled with confusion. The Hamburg-based artist invades public space with wit and a great sense of humour. There is also a certain kind of fatality about the way, Rickhoff translates urbanity. Urban exploration done on the computer. Very nice!

Diskussion „Remixkultur – wem gehört das Wissen?“

Kollege Andreas vom sowieso mal zu empfehlenden Klangboot, der zugleich auch für das Goethe Institut Russland tätig ist, weist uns auf folgende Aufzeichnung einer dort am 27.10.12 stattgefundenen Veranstaltung „Remixkultur – wem gehört das Wissen?“ hin, in der u. a. Matthias Spielkamp von irights.info ins Thema einführt und schon allein deshalb kann man sich das anhören, wenn man mal was über die Basics zur Geschichte des Urheberrechts usw. erfahren möchte. Die Diskussion selbst schaue/höre ich mir gerade selber an, hier das Video:

Killing Error

These fantastic illustrations by Ben6835 are characterised by sadism and bloody violence. Be sure to visit his Flickr account for all the lightly eccentric works!
