Participated in the Horny Smoke Sausage run 10km (Kiimasen savulenkki) in Saarijärvi. Everybody came to the event in cars. Got a medal for participating, it was wrapped in plastic. I was also forced to device a performance for a family acquaintances mid summer party (ended up staring at people and forcing people to stare at each others). I’m now warming the sauna and drinking Disaronno mixed with lemon juice, ice and sugar. Planning to make my own sandals or turnshoes. Found the Tandy Leather shop in New York city where I’m hoping to find the proper tools and leather.

Pori Art Museum has published a report on the Creative Commons and Art seminar which I participated in with Kaino and Kalle Kuisma. My talk is recapped on pages 10-12 and I’m very pleased with my contribution. I claimed that “Artists do not contribute to the commons – They claim phenomenons from the commons” (artists taint phenomena and mark it as their own). I also claim that skills are production tool (for artists) and shed light on the ideological origins of Ore.e Refineries (and the COOL 1.0 license).
Working on our Ihme-days presentation with Heini and Leena, packing stuff in preparation of my New York visit, preparing next weeks Horse & Performance course with Pietari and writing a lecture/presentation for expo2001∞ (organised by Daniel Kupferberg) events at Kunstraum Argh15 (I’ll give “An Introduction to Horselogical thinking” over skype or wire). Aaand.. Learning how to make cheesecake.
Flashed Face Distortion Effect is interesting. Wonder if could be reversed: Images of faces would be distorted so that the faces that flash would appear normal.
