The rise and fall of the Boombox

February 25th, 2010 Archibald Kobayashi

The good old Boombox was the iPod of the 80’s. The shinier the better, and preferably loads of buttons to equalize the sound. Mine was ok, but a friend had the Sharp GF 777, so you will understand that he was underground king in our small town.

John Paul II being mourned by a screaming baboon

February 25th, 2010 Sea Captain Plonk E

That is really not a thought you will have everyday. Probably the reason why this painting has something exciting going on. View more paintings of Luca del Baldo here.

The Secret Life of Chaos Part I

Quarter Mile Groove

February 24th, 2010 Katarie

“The recording translates the length of its vinyl groove into audio allowing listeners to experience the 1/4 mile length of the spiral as the record is played. Every inch of the needle’s path is audible in the form of a click, each foot as a beat and distances of 10 feet are heard as a blip. These sounds gradually slow as the stylus approaches the center, (the stylus travels less distance in the groove with each revolution of the record). Along the way, the voice of the narrator mentions the horizontal dimensions of particular objects.”

Groovy!

HOO-LI-GANS!

February 23rd, 2010 Sea Captain Plonk E

Conceptual artist Gerard Herman struck a hooligan pose for one whole night. With the help of a mock up as you can see in the picture above. Nevertheless a great idea. Also because I was one myself once, a very, very long time ago.

Scratch cassettes

February 22nd, 2010 Katarie

Some posts earlier I forbid people to do things with castettes and floppies because it has been done too much. But this breaks all rules. Wicked!

Wow…

February 20th, 2010 Sea Captain Plonk E

That was my reaction when I saw these stunning pictures by Boris Mikhailov about Russian poverty and social disintegration. I really think this is how Hell must look like. It’s just not from this world… More about the photographer and his photos you can find in the Saatchi Gallery.

Virtual Strike!

February 19th, 2010 Sea Captain Plonk E

This is the action that 10 of the most famous Belgian advertising agencies took against the way competitions are organized these days by companies all over the world. Neat.

(Thanks Sander!)

Quite nice: floppy and cassette art

February 18th, 2010 Sea Captain Plonk E

I think using floppies and cassettes in art has been done a bit too much now. But ok, these are quite nice. But after this, no more!

Parallel worlds by Ji Lee

February 18th, 2010 Sea Captain Plonk E

The mind of artist Ji Lee works in mysterious ways. He must have thought: what if tiny communities lived on my ceiling, upside down? Then they probably need tiny living rooms as well!

Because Vacuum Cleaner Man is off!

Who is the man?

February 17th, 2010 Sea Captain Plonk E

Brilliant satirical advert series for fashion brand French Connection. Putting such texts on fashionable photos is just a great idea. It reminds me strongly of the Unhappy Hipsters. Created by Fallon.

Thanks Wout!

I never read, I just look at pictures

February 15th, 2010 Archibald Kobayashi

I bought 2 posters for my poster collection this weekend in Stockholm. The first is an image of Cornelis Vreeswijk, a fantastic dutch singer turned Swedish (Listen to Veronica in Dutch or Veronica in Swedish). Vreeswijk is as popular to the Swedes as Sven Kramer is to the Dutch. And since I’m married to a Svensk tjej and Sweden is my second home country after Holland, I feel we have at least some things in common!

The other one I bought at Moderna Museet. It’s an affiche for a Warhol exhibition there long time ago, saying: “I never read, I just look at pictures”. Which definately puts a smile on the face of an ADD‘er like me.

Hello!

February 11th, 2010 Mickey Tilburg

Go get them gramps! I’m off to Stockholm! Bye, x!
