thanks

By jerome @ 09:58 [ postgrade ]
yes,
thanks to everybody
thanks for your support, thanks for your help; thanks for being there when nothing worked out or when everything was fine; thanks for the discussions, the coffees, and anything else.
i mean, it was a real great time to work with you all: professors and students
i really got lots of pleasure here / maybe it's a bit too sentimental - sorry

however, i've got to move quite soon (yes: there's a life outside), i think we'll meet again on the boat the 30th, but maybe not all of you, so: dear students: you've got my email and i'm always open to discussion about the projects or whatever. your doubts, your questions, i'm not saying that i have the universal solution for everything, but if you need to discuss or have futur-ex-insider viewpoint... i'm still round there. and i'll still post some stuff here.

the words of the end are a quotation, you remember from who it is, for sure! (or you won't have your diploma :))) )
it was a pleasure to do business with you

bye bye
enjoy your time here
see you sooner or later

data / reference / art

By jerome @ 08:09 [ Exhibitions/Events/Conferences ]
today: opening of the exhibition <<data/reference/art>> curated by: no-org.net

Databases, encyclopedias, indexes, dictionaries, and directories are not merely the devices of data organizing, but also mediums for building hierarchical systems. Not only they convey topic specific information but also propagate political and aesthetic ideologies, reflecting background and interests of their producers. "The correct", "the necessary", "the important" or "the secondary" for a user to know, to study, to invest - all those messages embedded into systems of knowledge and sorted according to hierarchy established by their editors. Methods of distribution, managing of contents, the structure, lay a distinct track to control and design of common knowledge, shaping thinking patterns.

see the curated show
data/reference/art project

and my contribution to the exhibition is here.

there's an interesting initiative i haven't noticed before: the open archive which contains all the submitted projects.

The Source

By juerglehni @ 00:05 [ Interesting media art and culture ]
I just discovered this incredible art piece by the artists group greyworld: The Source. An animated cube of 9x9x9 (729) indipendly moving balls in the London Stock Exchange building, up to 32 meters high!

There is more documentation and press coverage here:

www.londonstockexchange.com
www.junction.co.uk

Its interface is also very nice, programmed by James Tindall from atomless.com. Have a look at it here.

I'm quit speachless.
