Blinksandbuttons http://blinksandbuttons.plugimi.com/blog Mon, 06 Aug 2007 14:43:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 en From Tokyo http://blinksandbuttons.plugimi.com/blog/?p=42 http://blinksandbuttons.plugimi.com/blog/?p=42#comments Mon, 06 Aug 2007 14:42:35 +0000 hello http://blinksandbuttons.plugimi.com/blog/?p=42 Back from Tokyo. Was really wonderful. I need to go back as soon as possible, it’s just so much fun there that I just want to turn Wapanese. Took some photos too.

The Dislocate-symposium was very inspiring, you might want to take a look at the coverage on WMMNA. Buttons was exhibited in a tiny, lovely space and unfortunately the Agfa-button cracked on the second day. Wasn’t that bad since the camera still works, but I suppose that I have to make a button myself for the next exhibition – the 30-year-old plastic seems to be too brittle. I made two new cases and have documented the making to some extent, for anyone who might be interested.

There will be an exhibition at Ginza Art Laboratory (opening on July 24th) and a symposium at ZAIM in Yokohama (July 28th and 29th) where I will probably have the chance to present the project.

Great people around as well, and I finally get a chance to have a beer at the famous Jetée-bar! Looking forward like crazy.
