Goggle Map marker pixel style
Nice Google Map marker in pixel style at RCA Show London. I wonder to what zoom level the pixel size is adjusted. Creator? See also my Map project.

Thanks for mentioning to me, Sascha.
For the exhibition “Home Smart Home,” Aram Bartholl equips the tower of the Kunstverein Rotenburg with a variety of home surveillance cameras. In addition to hidden cameras, known as “Nanny Cams,” Bartholl also experiments with 360° “Lightbulb” cameras equipped with lights and speakers. The market for surveillance cameras in the private sphere has grown tremendously in recent years. The desire for control over one’s own private space is reflected in this development and is part of the digitally driven society marked by a loss of trust.
The Art Tower, 4 Floors – 122 Steps – 24 m.
Originally slated for demolition in the mid-90s to make way for parking space for the “Ronolulu” leisure pool, the disused fire brigade water tower was on the chopping block. However, Peter Möhl, the former managing director of the municipal utilities and thus the owner of the tower, envisioned a meaningful repurposing. Together with the vice chairman of the Art Association, architect Jürgen Lohmann, the idea was born to convert the tower into a gallery.
Die Ausstellung Decoding the Black Box bringt Künstlerinnen und Künstler zusammen, die Licht in diesen dunklen Raum und die Prozesse werfen, die sich in ihm ereignen. Sie legen dabei nicht nur die Funktionsweisen digitaler Technologien wie beispielsweise von künstlicher Intelligenz offen, sondern visualisieren zugleich die Auswirkungen, die sie auf unsere Wahrnehmung von Realität und unser In-der-Welt-Sein haben. Während sie die ökonomischen und machtpolitischen Strukturen der digitalen Technologien und insbesondere des Internets transparent machen, zeigen sie Gegenentwürfe für eine dezentralisierte, humanere und demokratischere Nutzung ebendieser auf.

Speed Show lands in Greece, the country of souvlaki, the sun (yes we can claim that they originated a celestial body), ouzo, feta, an enormous financial debt. Currently, Greece is also trending for all the wrong reasons namely, gentrification, queerphobia, state crimes and more dystopic incidents.
As 2024 unfolds, we find ourselves amidst a whirlwind of confusion, bombarded with a cacophony of online horrors to consume, an attention span further abbreviated by TikTok’s algorithm and the barrage of incoming stitches.
Stitches Incoming serve as a conduit for creators to engage and converse, traversing from one topic to the next. They have evolved into a new social fabric, weaving connections within an ever-shifting digital and physical landscape while also serving as a testament to personal and collective traumas, both past and present.
What unites the participating digital artists? Perhaps everything and nothing simultaneously… Departing from the traditional Speed Show setup, where artworks are carefully stacked inside internet cafe computers, and drawing inspiration from the structure of TikTok stitches, each piece seems to propel the conversation forward, or perhaps uses the next as a springboard for its own narrative.
Stitch this and stitch that, we have everything you ever wanted (maybe) ! Are we stuck in an infinite loop of sh*tposting, valuable content, the highlight of social issues, personal and interpersonal experiences?
Maybe! Come and find out…

jo fabian vermittelt zwischen ‘realer’ und ‘virtueller’ welt.
diesmal werden die möglichkeiten von theater und kunst in einer virtuellen welt diskutiert:
kann man second life als möglichkeit nutzen, ideen plastisch darzustellen und in einer community weiterzuentwickeln? zusammen mit kreativen aus künsten, design und architektur spielerisch und experimentell einen virtuellen raum für kultur schaffen und utopien ausloten, ohne dabei den bezug zum wirklichen leben zu verlieren. als gäste sind geladen:
martina pickhardt, wirtschaftsinformatikerin, arbeitet als selbstständige beraterin im wirtschafts- und kulturbereich. sie war 2003 stipendiatin an der akademie schloss solitude im programm art, science & business. derzeit beschäftigt sie sich im schwerpunkt mit den themen second life und social web.
andreas horbelt ist theaterwissenschaftler und beschäftigt sich seit langem mit den möglichkeiten des theaters in virtuellen welten. er arbeitet als dramaturg und als konzeptioner für multimediale ausstellungsformate, zur zeit hauptsächlich für triad berlin.
stephan lorenz hat ‘freie kunst’ studiert. seit ende der 80er jahre interessiert ihn die verbindung von kunst und interaktivität. seit 1992 arbeitet er als multimedia-konzeptioner und designer in der werbung.
in second life betreibt er über seine kleine agentur lcg-design seit märz 2007 das sim culturegion / design island, um dort erfahrungen für das kommende 3d-internet zu sammeln.”
A very nice collection of computer game crates and barrels by Armin Weber.
Some days ago Brody Condon, pioneer in game art posted “I quit” on his website, which he closed more or less. I was wondering what was going on.
Today I found the Subaru of Benedict Radcliffe which is a nice project but too much the same as Brodys Need for Speed Lamborghini Countach he did in 2005.
Is that the reason why Brody says “websites are bad for you“?
I got to know Damiano Colacito by mail and chat some months ago. His work is amazing. Read the interview by Matteo Bittanti and see more pics on Videoludica.
At the “Nachtcafe” series of Schaubühne Berlin is tonight a Second Life involving performance “Wonderland” on the program.
Update:
Pics of the event on flickr.
German BaunetzWoche is a PDF mag of Baunetz an important platform for architets and engeneers in germany. The latest issue features an article on my work.
Captin Nod has a nice DIY manual for the original crow bar of the computer game Half Life.
I wonder how big the A4 PDF has to be scaled to reach scale1:1 crow bar size. Rapid paper prototyping rocks!
