P2P Art.

Just found this on the wonderful cinema obscura site and being a p2p fan myself I think I'll give it a go. Interesting form for an artwork. I'll let you know how it went once it's been downloaded and watched:

Filter by Anders Weberg
”P2P Art - The aesthetics of ephemerality.”

Art made for - and only available on - the peer to peer networks.
The original artwork is first shared by the artist until one other user has downloaded it.
After that the artwork will be available for as long as other users share it.

The original file and all the material used to create it are deleted by the artist.

”There's no original”

P2P Art is an artproject from Swedish mixed media artist and filmmaker Anders Weberg.

”Filter”

A 73 minute experimental non-linear film made by Anders Weberg.

"Filter is fully based on the emotions that I experienced in the beginning of 2006 when I woke up one night and found my son unconscious on the floor.
A couple of minutes passed by until I could bring him back.
The fear and desperation I felt during this time is what the film is all about."

This film and all the files used creating it was deleted 2006/09/15

Moblogging.

Yeah, yeah. I know it's a crap image but it's a snap from my phone from my first attempt at moblogging using Shozu.
It looks like a lot of fun and I'll be uploading more images to my flickr page.
Watch out world, here I come!

Yay! My Membership has arrived!

I am now an official member of the grooviest club on US cable TV, the Ghoul A Go-Go club! Yes sir, I received my membership card, my membership certificate signed by Vlad and Creighton but sadly not the Invisible Man (well, maybe his signature is invisible!).
I also bought the DVD which holds three of the programmes which are great. Groovy little kids doing the Watusi to a live Rock n Roll band, Creighton showing us his films, skeletons doing skits. It's fabulous.
You can catch snippets of Ghoul A Go-Go at youtube or you can have a ghoulish gander at their website here.
Have fun!

Want to know how to live?

Well, it's simple when you look at Life Explained. Here you can ask simple questions like 'how to descale your kettle' and up pops a video of someone who can explain and show you just how to do that. Great innit!
So know if you want to know just how to wash your kitchen floor, how to deal with ants or how to get wax out of your clothes then worry no longer!
By the way, this does follow a discussion we had in college about how your life can end up on or run by the internet.

Dear oh dear.

My Index Page.

So, whatta you think? This idea is to be my front page of my website with the theme carrying on throughout for consistency.
The idea, sadly isn't totally original. I thought the idea up last night and then I googled. What came about were two similar ideas and so I've taken the two and merged them together to make this page.

Let me know what you think!

I'm off to be Ghoulish now.

Sleep Deprivation From Over Thinking!

I think this whole website construction business has finally hit me and hit me hard. My mind was reeling last night with the possibilities and ideas for my site. Sleep this day has passed me by.
And during this deprivation I of course trawled the net. I've discovered this website from Sonic Manipulator and Artist, Andrew Liles whom I had the great pleasure in meeting after he performed with Nurse With Wound on Saturday night.
I took one look at his front page and I felt good. It's basically the same page structure as I want for my website and also, thanks to great imagination, the site is beautiful in all it's Victorian splendour. Navigation is easy and the whole site is a pleasure to discover.

Now to get on with my own work.......

Nurse With Wound

Whales,Weebles and Wailings.
I went to see the band Nurse With Wound at the QEH on Saturday evening. The moon was eclipsing whilst we sat and listened to some beautiful and ethereal sounds. The set comprised a few different soundscapes ending with my favourite - Salt Marie Celeste, loosely based on the abandoned ship, the Marie Celeste. Lot's of creaking wood and washing waves complete with a toy whale used as a sound device.
The stunning background video made by Freida Abtan provided a welcome visual to accompany the sounds. I'd love to know how she made the vid as it was extreme and seemed so ghostly.
Good for the ears, good for the eyes. A damned good gig and one to keep ones mind racing for future ideas involving school.

Many thanks to JPaul23 for the very fine photo's. You can see more of his work here
