  • TSiG Blog

    The TSiG blog has now been launched. I’ll be blogging there, as well as some other folks you should know by now (Audrey, Jesper, Midori, Nao, Robert). I’m sure there are still little bugs here and there that will pop up as we start using the site regularly, so feel free to give me feedback…

  • Barnbrook Design

    I’ve just realized that I missed July’s exhibition at the Ginza Graphic Gallery, which pisses me off as it was something I really wanted to see (the annual ADC show). Well, nothing much I can do about it, except make sure to go early to the next one, which starts August 5. In August 2004…

  • Kyupi Kyupi Grand Kayo Show Cabarotica

    I so want to see this. I saw a video installation by Kyupi Kyupi at the Jam show a while back, and loved the hell out of it. The unit led by video artist Ishibashi Yoshimasa of “Oh! Mikey” fame. This entertainment supreme, immensely popular in the Kansai region, hits Tokyo. Heart-wrenchingly fast video projections,…

  • TSiG on Display

    Jesper sent me a few pics, and it looks like TSiG is really coming along. The above is one of the displays at the Roda Sten building, where the event will take place. I absolutely love his use of Brockmann figures (and try to find the one that he bought from me). One of the…

  • Art Flea Market

    While one can’t quite say “money is everything the world over”, money problems are always an issue in art-related endeavors. The money it takes to create art, the monetary value of art. A flea market exploring the relationship between art and money: shop and think about “art and economics”. The variety of booths range from…

  • Submissions for DOTMOV 2004

    Got the following info in the SHIFT newsletter the other day, and thought I’d help spread the word. DOTMOV Festival 2004, a competitive digital film festival launched last November, is now inviting submissions from throughout the world. The festival’s aim is to discover talented creators and provide them with an opportunity to show their work.…

  • TSiG

    Some cool ads that Jesper created for Tokyo Style in Gothenburg. I love the use of Brockmann figures for models. Also, the TSiG blogs should be launching very, very soon, so stay tuned for more news on that. And be sure to check out the updated site for Jesper’s design company, Next Century Modern. They’re…

  • OK Fred 4 Launch Party

    It’s just been announced on Robert’s blog that the launch party for the fourth issue of OK FRED will be happening August 21 at the NTT InterCommunication Center, and there will be performances by him and Momus (and sound art by Mathieu Briand). The party is free, and it will be from 6 to 9.

Join us this Saturday at 10:00 a.m. and be the first to get the new iPod mini. The first 1,000 customers in line get a free commemorative t-shirt. Plus, listen to DJs spinning…

  • Placard

    Robert (or is that DJ Milquetoast) will be participating in Placard#7, the international headphonic music festival. The thing takes place August 7 and 8 in Yoyogi park. Momus, who is presently being VICE magazine’s Gavin McInnes city guide/date, will also be at the festival. Also looking forward to the karaoke shindig that Robert will be…
