Frans and Aron, when it comes to our mutual creative project I haven't gotten very busy yet. I plan to though, starting by re- reading the poems in their updated shape. I felt like we had alot of interesting ideas going in our little brainstorm though, Frans. An idea that came to my mind after thinking about using projections was somehow distorting these using shadows cast by other objects in the room. Perhaps using a kind of rotating apparatus where small cut-outs pass in front of the lenses of the projectors, generating an image of the sparse passers- by in the desolate setting Frans mentioned. Following me?
Also, this distortion could be achieved by placing sculptures ( I'm thinking "gips") in the room. I've made a few sketches of how these could look:
I was trying to make them symbols of longing, or searching. Something like that. I'm thinking that clothing could be incorporated in them by simply making casts of real pieces of cloting.
In other news, I was bored the other day, so I played around with a couple of images I found on my computer, making these two:
The bottom one is based on the graphics for a boss in the SNES- version of Zelda. That's the kind of stuff you just end up downloading and saving on your computer. I quite like them, I'm using the Zelda- one as my desktop picture.
Also, I've painted a portrait of Aron, based on a photo from our trip this summer:
I've been making a few of these lately, portraits mainly focusing on the shape of the head. What I've been trying to get at is a feeling of solidity or integrity, weight perhaps. I'm thinking that the gaze, which I guess generally is one of the things you're supposed to get right in traditional portrature, shouldn't have so much emphasis. I don't know.
A funny thing is that Kristin thought that my portrait looked computer generated. Similar to Tors comment. Maybe you have some facts to face up to Aron.
Before the winter break we we're given a photo assignment, to take three self portraits a day, using a so called onetimes- camera. Because said type of cameras kind of suck, not many of my photos ended up developed. Here are a few though, taken at the time where I turned of my alarmclock in the morning:
Tortured!
I really like the beats that this guy Killaper from our native Lund is making. If I'm not mistaken he used to make streetart back in the so called day, too.
That's all from me at the moment, I hope you're all doing well!
mvh Theo

I love the "gips" figures! I just got a feeling deep down that the shapes you are hunting are exactly correct! I went to a concert at Skånes Konstförening this evening, and I got the idea that maybe that place would be the gallery where we put our co-op. It's a long room, which would fit great with the sound experiments. Not sure how the projections would work, though... But I am mailing the peeps at SK to see if they would be interested in hosting our thing in maybe July... I haven't been working much on the project either the last few days, but i've discussed a bit with William, who is no to join SweTech. we will meet to print flyers and stickers promoting this blog. and he is going to Chin in three weeks. His first contribution here will be some kind of report from that trip. great, huh???
This contribution of yours was a succulent one, great success!
