It’s almost like I’m reliving a moment in the 80s that I’m just not that sure of. Like living in a fantasy, or combining the memories of Top Gun, Back to the Future, David Bowie’s crotch in the Labyrinth, folded paper football love letters, songs that had a simplicity (Expose), and emotions that were honest and put forward (Dear Diary

Jiang Pengyi is well aware of the monstrous urbanization and expansion of excessive industrialization in China and Beijing particularly. He tries to look into the problem by creating miniature cities, photographing them and investigating them as a rapidly spreading phenomenon. My photographs of city, still objects and massive skyscrapers reduced to miniature sizes communicate my recurrent themes of excessive urbanization, redevelopment and

Ave Maria (Sharapova)! Eric Berglund, of Tough Alliance, is developing further his muted electro solo project, ceo. Like me as a kid, ceo has been getting into the tennis lately. He’s been so inspired that he posted this ode to Russian short-skirted tennis talent Maria Sharapova, a cover of Blondie’s ‘Maria’. Watch the vaguely voyeuristic video up there or in higher-res here.

What is it with cupcakes, brownies and muffins? And don’t get me started on the donut. Yes, they are all three über American, and delicious (well, I am not such a donut fan, but I can see their appeal). But the hype?! And the quality of these, in Berlin at least, usually has much to be desired. Industrial, bland, super

Back in 2005 I remember coming across Britta Persson’s first music videos “Defrag My Heart” and “You Are Not My Boyfriend”. It was a time when being a hipster was fresh, YouTube was just emerging, and this new communicative technology allowed for international artists to share their sound and style. Her thick black rimmed glasses and slight monotone voice set
Read MoreNearly 2 years have passed after I decided to create a space to host creative technologies and moving art projects created by inspiring artists and cover it all with some fuzziness. It has worked out pretty well so far. Almost 2 years I’ve been on my own, working and experimenting with formats and doing things how I feel them. Yet,

I’ve recently transplanted myself from Berlin, Germany back to the United States in the lovely city of Boston. With this whole transition and confusion, I have resorted to listening to light hearted simple music that has been able to keep me afloat for these past two weeks. Pop music and songs with strong positive lyrics always seem to alleviate stress and
Read MoreWhen I go back to my roots, it is usually for either food or art. This time, it’s the latter. With an exhibition covering art from all (well, almost all; Bulgaria is not included) the former Eastern block countries, the New Museum New York exposes Eastern artists to Western judgement. In the nineties, the Germans coined a new word, Ostalgie,

We are just real people who got together to support the ‘It Gets Better’ project. People who happen to work for the same company, Nokia, which is supporting our diversity. If you still don’t know what
