[NSFW] I love these mix mp3s from my friend Jeremy. If I took the time to keep up with music and make mix mp3s, mine would probably be very similar but not as good.

“The greatest war the world has ever seen is about to commence. It’s so great that even the Swiss are getting involved this time! This is a beat-’em-up based on the British TV show of the same name, which lets you match six of the world’s leaders against each other - Maggie Thatcher, Ronnie Reagan, Michael Gorbachev, Pope John Paul II, Ayatollah Khomeini, and P. W. Botha. Of course, each of them has their own ways of fighting. You select an opponent and a champion, with you playing the opponent, and if you defeat the champion three times, it’s on to another one….”

Check this site for this guy who has a restored set of the Showbiz Pizza animatronic band and is choreographing recent songs with the setup. He’s taking bids for new songs to program new choreography which he videotapes and puts on youtube.

And/Or Gallery Show 14: Kristin Lucas
Opening Saturday February 2nd, 6pm-9pm
with performance by Mom at 8:30

Kristin Lucas’s exhibition consists of two parts. In the front gallery we will have her contemplative installation including video, light box prints, cast rocks, and laser cut comets. And in the second gallery we will have her Refresh group exhibition where she legally changed her name from Kristin Lucas to Kristin Lucas as a kind of re-awakening, and she had her colleagues produce portraits of her before and after the change.

This is a great show, and one of our most ambitious yet. Come check it out!

BTW: this is our two-year anniversary — first show was Tom Moody + Saskia Jorda, January 28th, 2006.

Myspace had a private-image security vulnerability, and somebody wrote a spider to download them. So there’s a torrent leak now of the leaked pictures, 17GB 560,000 private myspace images. torrent link

Students write about the JODI show.

Got some pics of the opening and new show at And/Or with JODI and Arcangel Constantini. Pics of the New York portion of the show at VertexList here.

Arcangel performing with his crazy spark devices, and me frantically trying to get my gear ready for my set.

Big crowd, a lot of people just ended up hangin outside during the performance because it was so packed. Epcot Center.

JODI’s Untitled Game (Quake 1 hacks) on the yellow table, Arcangel’s Semimscope on the right, his SX-70 installation on the left, and his Zi-re-filme Palm Pilot video installation in the back.

The projection is JODI’s BCD, a Wolfenstein 3-D hack.

JODI’s awesome new Composite Club videos — Sony Eyetoy camera + cinema. The wall is chroma-key green.

Arcangel’s Atari Noise Como en Casa installation in the back gallery with a couple of Chad Hopper pieces integrated from our last show.
