sorrowful we had to accept that we could not make it to the makeart festival, but we could still do our web 2.0 job and asked some people on flickr to join the makeart07 flickr group. it looks like there were not too many photographers at the festival who uploaded their stuff to flickr – but the ones who did are great. please enjoy some great pictures from portier, thanks to manuel braun (www.decept.org) and flickr user yesyesnono for sharing their photos!

“Harddisko” is an installation piece dealing with raw computer sounds. Rhythmic noises are evolving from sixteen harddrives, which are orchestrated through simple power circuits. By cutting the harddisk’s power in varying sequences and amplifying the peculiar sound characteristics of each drive, an unpredictable acoustic and visual interplay is taking place.
this is an interview with mary flanagan while setting up the opening exhibition at laboral centro de arte in gijon, spain – talking about her work, the “giant joystic”:
since we upgraded to wordpress 2.1, we now have the possibility to implement the pictobrowser into tagr.tv. it’s easy and works great, find it here: http://www.db798.com/work/
simply enter the flickr account you want to use (no password req.) and select the pictures that you want to show in the slideshow. to do so, you can choose to select via tags, groups or sliedshows. in this example i included all the pictures from the flickr group “CTM Festival”.
asever, nothing is perfect: one problem is, that this is a free service, which doesn’t run on our server but rather on the db798.com server, which will hopefully run as long as flickr works…
the other problem is, that wordpress still has issues to implement it if you place it in the middle of a text. to avoid problems, i recommend to place the slide show at the end of the post.
old posts upgraded with pictobrowser
Christoph Buchel at Coppermill Gallery, London, Bilgi University Istanbul
late but still there is a video showing the highlights of stelarcs presentation and lecture, due a lack of organisation the last 5 min are missing – to be completed…
christoph buchel’s “Silply Botiful” is a really nice exhibition i found by chance last sunday off bricklane in london.
you enter a hotel and have to sign that you are able to take care of yourself and that you can’t sew the organizers if you hurt your self – very simpatico. so after signing this paper at the reception you enter the first floor of the hotel, which is packed with bed and goods of everyday life. in order to see the all of the rooms you have to crawl throgh little whloes in the walls and the floor, walk through mountains of used fridges and explore containers that look like they are still heavily in use . so far the user impressions, you can find the press release text for the exhibition here, and an online walktrough here.
the istanbul bilgi university is located in the center of istanbul and offers beside a ecological and a law department also a faculty for communication that offers miscellaneous under- and postgraduate art studies.
