It’s easy to write about the world through personal experiences. Writing about others is difficult because you will fail. Everyone who can afford this failure should engage in these confrontations. Everyself is authored by others.

Heard Belorukov & Zherbin, Filter Feeders and Pasha Rotts at Akusmata gallery last night. A warm and noisy evening. Saw a Make Noise 0-Coast and a SP-303 in use. Also a brilliant electronic music gig hat (by Pasha). Petri Kuljuntausta offered some guidelines for the upcoming Ore.e Ref./Storijapan: Sound of Work exhibition/gig. He wants us to prioritize on audio. We’ll possibly also present audio pieces from the Ore.e Ref.: Meta- Collection (Record Singers, Topi Äikäs 4’33, Wuolio usb stick?). Particullary Äikäs and RS serve as solid references. Came up with the idea of making a helmet xylophone (like the one Ewoks play in Star Wars) and using the same styles of exhibition display techniques we deployed for SIC (2014).
Ore.e Ref. on a winning streak. Washington Post writes that The hottest trend in Web design is making intentionally ugly, difficult sites. Apparently web brutalism is a thing.

Geraldine Juárez bashing post-digital as an enclave where post-democratic regimes are developed during transmediale 2014 | After the revolution(s) discussions: “The more governments talk about transparencies […] the more we see them abusing our rights.”. She defines the internet as interNATO, a megastructure operated by old institutions (nation states and old money) engaged in “old battles”.
