and the next are…

We just have finished our presentation for our ISEA talk on tuesday. Integrated some photos of recent findings, like the Wii pingpong-bat extensions and the singapore pingpong team practicing for the upcoming olympics.

Earlier today we attended the keynote of Lawrence Lessig at the impressive NTU university. Of course, we already knew what he was telling about and we fully agree with him, but the talk was not really refreshing. But it was nice seeing him IRL anyway. Oh.. we agree on almost all of what he said.. the bush and obama things….. we’ll have to see about that..

Tomorrow we have a full list of things to do, amongst others getting a custom tailored suit (which we’ll maybe use in the presentation, may be not). So heavy shit 2morrow and the day after. Getting pingpong balls in china town, find the tailor. Try to get money from an atm to buy a new mac with cash.. we’ll see about that also… now it’s late enough to go to sleep… half past 1 in the night.. and we almost finished the first jameson bottle and started with the nuts from the mini-bar..
So far the score is quite good. We met a lot of interesting people from Holland, but also from abroad. Talking about maybe doing some projects/presentations somewhere else, so we’ll see what happens.

Now it’s relaxing time and finish the drinks we still have and then for one hit the sack early.. not like yesterday when we arrived home at around 4… and because of that housekeeping woke us up at around 11…

hasta pronto!!!

…shopping!




…shopping!

Originally uploaded by onsignal

And that’s not all we did today. Well, indeed we went out to do some preliminary browsing of the malls at Orchard Road, after registering for the conference (the registration desk was quite hard to find — man, singapore is bigger than we thought…).

The shopping climate was OK but no really cheap deals. We got some tips for shopping for computers and electronics so we’ll be checking this out tomorrow.

Enough about the shopping. We attended the keynote of Ken Mogi, one of Japan’s leading neuroscientists/tv-stars. Very interesting talk about creativity versus memory, amongst others.

After that we visited the official opening reception in the National Museum. Met a lot of interesting people, a few of which we went to dinner and drinks with afterwards.

1:59 pm and going to sleep. Cu tomorrow ;-)

We’ve just arrived here, in the *very* luxurious Amara Hotel. Drinks, pool, gym and internet are on the house!

And it’s on walking distance of Chinatown, a very nice and crowded place to hang out and looking for cheap deals. Tomorrow the real deal starts (we have to register for the ISEA conference), but we’re enjoying it already!

One day we’ll fly away…

Just after we booked our tickets to Singapore for our attendance at ISEA2008, Eelco got a phone call from the booking company: we have won 2 tickets to the Netherlands - Italy soccer game in Bern! :-) Not that we’re big soccer fans… but it’s still nice!!

Let the viewer do it

Making art in a visual sense is so outdated… instead, let the viewer of the artwork do it. That is my statement which I work with these weeks.

Kunstvlaai ‘BlueSpam’ roundup

The Kunstvlaai was closed yesterday. I did a roundup of how much “free art” was received by Bluetooth on the phones of visitors of the art fair. In total, 994 movies have been sent successfully. On May 14 there seemed to be a problem with the transmitter, but in general it performed quite well.
