MASTER

Dazed Magazine
AllgemeinDazed online mentioned me briefly in an Article about the degree show. You can try to read it here, but the text has been edited down to near uselessness.
Somewhat unrelated: I would really like to crouch into a hole and not come out for about two weeks.

KNOWHOW – Curated by Ben Newton
To acquire knowhow is to gain the practical skills or intelligence necessary to get something specific done. This is tacit knowledge in the sense that it can be withheld and kept confidential. It may also be difficult to transfer without practical instruction and the required cognitive faculty in the beholder. In the artist this skill has traditionally revealed itself as craft.
Since the dawn of the Readymade, craft in Art has continually been brought into question, and as a result any preconception of a definitive Artistic Knowhow has been blurred or expanded to involve a myriad of scenarios or conditions.
Knowhow aims not necessarily to pin down a definition of the word but to ask the artists to delve into their own practice or maybe push themselves beyond their normal bounds of proficiency. This might manifest itself in a cathartic exploration of an unknown craft, an engagement with a ‚knowing‘ failure or even through the use of prosthetic labour which utilises the employment of non-artistic intervention.
KNOWHOW is a curatorial project by Ben Newton in collaboration with Campbell Works

circuit bending, Gear, life, Simon SaysAus aktuellem Anlass sei es hiermit laut in die Welt posaunt:
Ich habe meiner Freundin letztes Jahr im Herbst ein ausserordentlich schoenes Telefon gebaut.
Last year in autumn I built a beautiful telephone for my girlfriend.
Und nachdem ich heute einen ordentlichen Akku gekauft habe, kann sie es nun sogar verwenden.
Hui, das wird ein Spass
99% Browsercompatibility!!!!
Random, Simon Says, WebsiteAfter another day and night’s work I can now proudly announce that pretty much everything on this website is working on all browsers I’ve tested it with, which are pretty much most major browsers out there!
So, yeah, whether you’re using Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, Konqueror or whatever, the site looks pretty much the same, and that is: gorgeous! (in my not so humble opinion)
Internet explorer still has some issues with the menue’s opacity, but that’s because it doesn’t allow any opacity settings, anyways. So, if you really have to use IE, well… go get a decent browser!
Hm…
Maybe it’s only 95%…
Pöh, should be enough!
