Just wanted to announce the auction of “Aufstand der Dinge” on Sunday, 22. of March, 17h at Gallery SAKAMOTOcontemporary. You’ll be able to buy the whole world by passing by – or bidding online. You can even buy our Pylofon and some other machines we’ve build!
Thanks to german SPEX-Magazine for publishing a detailled and nice article in their Blog. It’s not only about “Aufstand der Dinge” but also describes some other things we did. We don’t completely agree on being called “Extrem-Geeks” – but thats how press business works.
As well we wanna invite everyone to Neoangins / Jim Avignons Concert on Sunday 25th at 19h, Gallery Sakamoto. Its going to be the Releaseparty for Yukihiri Taguchis new music-video (we already saw it, great work!)
Our art-installation went quite well last Saturday. We’ve been working the whole night through building and programing and made it work in the very last minute. Well, almost work. Due to some strange Arduino-problems not everything was as interactive as we wished – but you wouldnt notice until you know it.
Thanks to everyone who came (about 400 People!), it was a great evening. Kaspar already posted some pictures on Flickr. We’ll improve the interactivity of the installation in the coming weeks and will post more details about some single machines / cardboard boxes as well.
If you live in Berlin- we invite you on the 25th of January. Yuhihiro Taguchi who showed his wonderful installation and stop-motion-movies at Sakamoto-Gallery before we entered the space will create a music-video for Jim Avignons one-Man-band Neoangin and present it around 6pm. There will also be a Neoangin-concert and we plan to make the machines dance to the rhythm.
(Day 2 of 7: filling the boxes)
Here you can see the world – and us creating it. Together with our friend Jim Avignon we’re currently putting together a mountain of cardboard-boxes and a real lot of fancy electronic gadgets (including 15 servo motors, 2 wiimotes, 2 arduinos, an old cash-receipt-printer (which tickers twitter), a tikitag-RFID-Reader, an old Atari-Joystick, a gembird switchable power-bar and much, much more.)
In the end there will be a controllable world-map (11 x 3-meters) and an arty ehibition called “Der Aufstand der Dinge” in SAKAMOTOcontemporary Gallery, Oranienstr. 164, Berlin-Kreuzberg. Its obviously about things and tools regaining control and theres more info in german on the gallerys site.
This is by far the biggest thing we’ve ever build. We’re hoping to be finished till the opening on saturday (18pm) – and to find some time to tell you more about the technical side of the project. Hopefully we also get our webcam running as soon as possible.
