Artzilla @25C3

During the lightening talks today at 25c3 Tobi-X presented his Artzilla platform and I brievly introduced our (+Evans) ChinaChannel addon. 10 talks of 4:30 min is a very effecient format for presentations.

For all who are not at the congress anyway. The Chaos Communication Congress (the 25th year!) organised by the CCC is an excellent 4 day conference on technology and society with an focus on privacy, open software and free technology. Check out the four day program and and tune in one of the 3 live video streams!

Interface Studies III

without comments


Another VERY SAFE ATM fraud projection system I recently discovered in the Netherlands. A sticker shows how the original card slot looks like. Wow that’s such a great idea. ;-) The user would recognize a difference between the original and manipulated slot. And there is absolutely no way to get around this protection system because nobody would ever come up with the idea to change the sticker too …. omg

I enjoyed two performances (Darri Lorenzen “out of her” and BJ Nilsen “balanced loop”) yesterday night at the new exhibtion space Project Gentili currently showing the exhibtion ‘Pole shift’ (Berlin). Part of the show are the wooden notebooks by Shane Hope. I like them.
