The semester break can be a strange time. Or adjusting to it, this is. Of course I’m happy that now I can spend more time with my family and that I can also earn some money again. However I’m still trying to get into a daily routine that feels satisfying. Satisfying in such a way that at the end of the day I feel like I’ve achieved and learned something new.
Currently there are so many thoughts and ideas floating ’round my head that I don’t know where to start. I’m eager to make something “arty”, to be creative, to learn new things. Maybe the solution will come to my head while my powerbook gets an overhaul which will leave me with a dusty PC and a pencil and paper. Could be worse.

What’s happend in the last couple of months? A lot:
I have been exhibiting SpamPaint at the European Media Art Festival’s StudentForum in Osnabrück.
I was in Dortmund where I supported the German national soccer team (Germany vs. Poland). Although I’m no soccer fan at all it still was a great experience: The Germans We won 1:0.
Finja turned three. Already!
My 3rd Semester at Merz Akademie is over. Together with three fellow students my main project was – and still is as we only got to think about the concept – an online community and application to collaboratively create amateur radio plays. I’m not sure if radio play is the right expression; in the end each play will be either a stream or an mp3.
Jan Ullrich isn’t part of this year’s edition of the Tour de France and I’m happy about that. Dopers suck. Does that mean that professional cycling also sucks? Probably yes.
Microsoft Office for Artists: Danielle Aubert has made about 60 drawings using Excel. See also: “Every day since 2002 Chris Ashley has created an abstract coloured drawing in hand-coded HTML tables and posted it to his weblog ‘Look, See’.” ( quoted from and via Furtherfield)
Stamen design – inspiration, innovation, data visualization.
ART+COM projects highlights. During the last 5 days Andreas Schlegel and Patrick Kochlik, both working for this great agency located in Berlin, introduced us (me and my fellow students at Merz Akademie) to Processing and GPS. Maybe more on this later.
These Children of the CPU (exceeded monthly traffic quota) (Cameron: “…upgraded to unlimited traffic, download away!”) made the soundtrack for my new design. It’s the kind of music that makes my girlfriend ask what’s wrong with me. (Via 3hive)
Beauties: Rocketfuelled and Artek Culturelab.
