Vadoinmessico: In Spain

Vadoinmessico is a pretty complicated name. This five member band from the UK plays mediterranean alternative folk with a bit of psychedelic rock thrown in the mix and have been featured at festivals all over the world including the last SXSW. I wouldn’t be actually telling you about the band if it wasn’t for Valero Doval‘s amazing visualization of their album and their

Séan Branagan

Sean Branagan’s work has a hint of the impossible, but nearly graspable about it. He doesn’t describe the world we know. He presents us the world in layers of reality that we would otherwise so easily miss. His work is an amazing visual study using the combination of images, projections and light to open narrow gaps to his alternative reality.

HEROES and WASTE by Nicolas Santos

There is not much info about Nicolas Santos on the internet except the information that says, he is based in Madrid and this photo by Luca Guarini. That’s why I sent him an interview request. And while we wait – here come his HEROES and DESECHOS (waste, rubbish in Spanish) collages. [images by Nicolas Santos and Luca Guarini]

SLAVIC UNION

First, let me make something clear from the beginning – this is not a political post – politics is not my cup of hobby; and God knows (haha!) that I’m not a nazi or any other radical supporter. Just for the record. Anyhow, there is something arousing about extremists. Something that makes your adrenalin rise, makes your blood flow run

Olivier Valsecchi

Paris-based photographer Olivier Valsecchi is covered in a dust made of many maybe-s. He rarely gives interviews and there is little information about him on his website or online at all. The little that I could find  is somehow unsatisfying and always request a “perhaps” before saying it. According to his minimalistic Facebook page he is married to Florent Vacaris.

LUKAS BEYELER

When I woke up this morning, I did my digital native ritual as follows: while still rolling in bed I checked (in order of appearance) my email, twitter, facebook, blog reader. The first 3 didn’t really amaze me with something extraordinary. While checking the blogs I am following I stumbled upon this post by Brian Kenny. It was a mix

Menstruation Machine

If you are an average girl taking the pill, you’d think Naoki is crazy to dare having the idea for such invention. However, you can’t call yourself a real drag queen if you don’t have a Naoki Kawamoto Menstruation Machine. Fitted with a blood dispensing mechanism and lower-abdomen-stimulating electrodes, the Menstruation Machine simulates the pain and bleeding of an average

Gerry Visco vol. 1, 2 and 3

This was a tough one. 2 days in a roll I’ve been nipping, tucking, editing, choosing music, converting, recycling and extracting. It was a rough ride, but I enjoyed every single step of it. What I’m talking about here is the video interview with Gerry Visco – devoted horny nerds don’t need further introduction. For the wannabes: Geraldine Winfried Visco

Puppetry Auditions

Berlin is the center of many kinds of start-ups – commercial start-ups like extravagant companies or new products; political start-ups like fugitives seeking shelter and personal start-ups like young actors and aggressive self-publicists. If you belong to the last type then you will definitely find the following information extremely useful. There’s an audition you have to attend – for puppetry.

Asger Carlsen: Wrong

Asger Carlsen’s work is wrong and it makes me uncomfortably clumsy. But in the same time it’s hysterically funny. His artwork is like a lie you can easily get away with or a made-up story you don’t have to justify. The art mission of the New York based Danish photographer is to spread confusion: You have no other choice, but
