And there it is again! The post you've all been wainting for O.K. Festival 2012 is coming up but now under a new name we called it: FACING PAGES. And will be held 20-21-22 April in Arnhem this year.
Follow us on facebook or via our website www.facingpages.org
The vid is pretty self-explanatory, but I'm just gonna quote from the vimeo page of Jonah Kessel:
"Media Artist Nicholas Hanna built a tricycle that can also paint Chinese characters on the ground as it moves, just — because."
Recent graduate of the Design Academy in Eindhoven Charlotte Porskamp presented this film project at the Dutch Design Week a few days ago. Though many a person has pointed out the various cons of putting one's private life online via Facebook, Charlotte's 'Face your Facebook' is not one such wagging finger. In her film she does take the awkward, the narcistic and the inappropriate to the extreme, but in a lighthearted and witty way that brings a smile to my face.
I already placed two more items about onlab and their summer school, just got an e-mail from them with this ( http://www.onlab.ch/?ids=2,-1,75,217 ) link with images of the terribly nice publication that just got released about as resulting publication. Have a look at all images by visiting their website.
As a follow up on my post from last saturday I hereby present you a event organized by onlab.Wish I was in Berlin.
In the context of our Summer School we will hold a public conference at HBC in Berlin with the two designers and experts Francesco Franchi and Stefan Fichtel. The Italian and German guest speakers will present their work and discuss with Nicolas Bourquin and Thibaud Tissot in a cross-disciplinary panel.
After the commercial success of the world acclaimed and (at the same time) highly criticised books Data Flow, onlab would like to invite the public to discuss and expand the definition of contemporary information graphics in the field of Editorial Design.
Polder Cup is a one-day football championship in the polders. The fields are displaced in a way that water channels intersect them, encouraging players to seek and invent new strategies for this game with new rules. A banner in the façade of Witte de Witt functions as an open call.
4th September, 2010. Ottoland. Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art and Skor / Foundation Art and Public Space. The Netherlands.
The most recent usual unusual stuff from Banksy. Witty, funny, but at the same time sharp-tongued and sarcastic. One piece was posted next to a Bristol highway, until it was taken down by cops of the UK Highways Agency - who assure the BBC it wasn't because they felt ridiculed by the Banksy sign. Check out the BBC article about it here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-14574419
Banksy has also been featured on 'Street Summer', an initiative by UK TV Channel 4 to offer a space on air for urban artists to make unmediated short pieces for the screen. A compilation of his ad breaks you can see in the video above.

Typeradio presents: Now We Are Talking on 2 september. A new free open air summer type and design festival. Bands, Free Speech, Films, Workshops, Surf, Camping and Love.
Pina is a tribute to German choreographer Pina Bausch, who died unexpectedly in the spring of 2009. It feels like both a dance film, a piece of fiction and a documentary at the same time. The dances express all kinds of emotion, from the depths of physical and mental pain to the most light-hearted moments of joy and humour. Visually, it is one of the most stunningly beautiful I have ever seen. Even if you're not especially into dance - I'm not -, I highly recommend that you go see it.
Watch this presentation at poptech and find out what great work the Australian choreograhper and director Gideon Obarzanek is making. I really love how he works with new interactive techniques and dance. Won't say more, just watch the video.
The revolutionary Reactable instrument hits the stage with its new incarnation: The Reactable Live! It brings all the possibilities of the original Reactable and makes it portable and easy to setup. The Live! version of the instrument allows you to touch and see the music while performing. The different sound generation and manipulation modules, which are real physical objects, permit infinite flexibility and control in musical expression. Exploring and using modern techniques of music production has never been easier or more exciting.
Turn your speakers up! ;)
This is an excerpt from a performance made in part to demonstrate the effect of noise pollution from opencast mining and in part to demonstrate the art heritage of the Vevring community which is about to be destroyed by the mining project (www.bygdasframtid.com). The instruments are part of "Desibel", an exhibit made for the 30th anniversary of the Vevring Art Exhibition (www.vevringutstillinga.no), created by Geir Hjetland. The composition is by Maia Ratkje.
