sacrifice: gloves

place: Echo Park, Dinosaur National Park, Colorado

They may look fine on the backs, but the palms are trashed and shredded, they’ve been used for a decade of fire-tending at chill campsites around the west, after a useful career in colder places. Not even sure where I got them, but I suspect in Iceland in the early 1990s. They’ve had a good life.

Staedtler pigment liner 0.3, Art. Nr. 308 03-9, EAN 40 07817 330418

I had the ‘ex’ send me four of these from Iceland a couple years back, but am on the last one now, they don’t do to well in hot & dry situations. But otherwise, they are an excellent and clean substitute for my exploding Koh-i-noor India Ink drafting pens which were just too sensitive to changing air pressure (i.e., flying), and had to be totally disassembled and cleaned prior to any travel. The beauty of the line, and the feel of the metal tip on paper was superlative, but the hassle was too much for the traveler to bear.

the big road

place: Boulder, Colorado

John Hopkins 31::March::2012 20:00 → permalink

Coming soon to the Digital Drive-In terminal nearest you will be the traffic reports direct from America courtesy of the artist John Hopkins who will be rolling west on The Big Road during the month of August. There is always something happening out there on the road and The Big Road will bring it web-direct to you. From road kill to hamburger prices. And you thought Route 66 was just a song — it’s where you GO!

This project brought to you courtesy of Tapio Mäkelä and Terhi Penttilä curators of the MUU Artist Associations Tenth Anniversary Digital Drive-In project. and is dedicated to those with whom I have rolled across the face of this place on four wheels with hydrocarbon fires burning — 01 August 1998, somewhere in Amurika

the transparency grenade

John Hopkins 09::March::2012 13:58 → permalink

Kiwi artist, Julian Oliver, presently based in Berlin, produced this provocative project to take note of. Elegant, well-designed, and with an explicit message for the misanthropic agglomerations of hierarchic power that are in extreme need of … detonation!

The lack of Corporate and Governmental transparency has been a topic of much controversy in recent years, yet our only tool for encouraging greater openness is the slow, tedious process of policy reform.

Presented in the form of a Soviet F1 Hand Grenade, the Transparency Grenade is an iconic cure for these frustrations, making the process of leaking information from closed meetings as easy as pulling a pin.

Equipped with a tiny computer, microphone and powerful wireless antenna, the Transparency Grenade captures network traffic and audio at the site and securely and anonymously streams it to a dedicated server where it is mined for information. Email fragments, HTML pages, images and voice extracted from this data are then presented on an online, public map, shown at the location of the detonation.

Whether trusted employee, civil servant or concerned citizen, greater openness was never so close at hand…
