Graphite sounds
it surprises me how often my online navigation ends up into something completely amazing to my eyes and ears. For the record, I was posting a picture from Flickr to my friend on her profile – I linked the author Autowitch and went to look at his blog. where I discover this incredible project that I am posting here.
Scratching vinyls makes a statement, but in this particular the aspect of pressing sound into graphite recalls an inscription on and with technology.

total DIY media beat experience
Could electric conductors possibly magnify the creative and participatory experience of this project? Can everyone contribute? yes, why not place something like this in a corner in a cafe and see what happens
To recall an inspiration I had some time ago and to link it to Graphite sounds – I am posting the video of their performance where they use motherboards to produce light and visual effects through bending.

mobile agora
November 2, 2007 Amsterdam – Oosterpark (12-17 hrs)
This project is an interactive installation where the membrane of the mobile container could permeate slices of body sensations with emotions and fears. Who wishes to make an encounter with somebody sitting on the other side of the computer is challenged to enter in conversation with someone unknown. While connected in a chat with a person, who is experiencing isolation, people can either initiate dialogues and monologues.
thus, the challenge is, to exchange views, ideas, opinions, feelings, dimensions, truths, references between the pvc and the pc – the mediation taking place in a recreated telephone cabin withing the proximity of a park. All the chats made during the project will be recorded.
Agora phobia is a project by Karen Lancel and Hermen Maat (NL).
Mobile intimacy
Mmobile connectors seem to melt in the Video Lustre installation arranged by Beatice Valentine Amrhein for the Video vortex exhibition (20 Oct – 2 Dic 2007) at Montevideo, the Media Arts Institut in Amsterdam. Body images permeate the screen of the devices, aimlessly capturing, almost imposing a playground, engaging with the virtual, triggering questions of context and location. Objects of everyday consumption and use left alone, leaving the sour impossibility to perform and engage with them.Walking away sequels of our own imagination inscribed in this mobile sculpture between viewing and watching. 
The installation consisted of an installation resembling an upside down umbrella where mobile phones looped from sequence of videos. The image shown on the squared mobile phone screen transmits body parts and intimate body parts, which re-contextualize technology in a grid, nominating and fingerpointing at its body-estention.This installation shows the performativity of bodies embedded and inscribed with and on the machine.. a reflective action on databodies and bodydata.

m-city
DIY of…
a play with the city
incrediblly smart and fun
instant creations and instant recreations of architecture and blocks
M-media opens a game, for your engagement and performance with the city. To create your own visuality from the window of shadow plays and memory.
Navigating from the virtual into the real world, while scrabbling the surface of old walls and painting them with patterns through layers of stencils, graffiti, posters and stickers.
Be sure to check the link to the pop-out window Konstructor from the menu on the left…there you can create your stencils and graffiti – dots and dots of cubicles among a variation of surfaces
simply a process of mousing…and printing…and to be continued

a welcoming to this reopening after I finished with my Scriptie…
Indeed, I have started this blog writing about the research for my thesis. Then, thinking about a missing connector of a lead, the red thread, I’ll just mention here what I’ve came to rediscover how to continue with the writing of this blog.
