The whole video is created with one and the same skype video recording; its basically a selfportrait of me jumping around.
Creating this video made me think about a couple of things. First of all, the research I am doing is not about destroying the pixel. If we subscribe to wikipedia and agree that the pixel (or picture element) is the…
just a simple translation of a flyer that I found at the Network Cultures Winter Camp conference.
On the 28th of February 25 people went on hunger strike, because they have no other way to oppose the regime of detention while their only ‘crime’ is not having the right documents.
In 2005, 11 people got killed in a fire at the Schiphol…
An archeology of a compression filter.
A couple of months ago I was approached by a company that asked me for my knowledge on glitch and compression artifacts. They were especially interested in recreating bleeding pixels. I recognized their ideas in the work of Sven Konig and send them to his website (on which in 2005 already, Sven published a…
Around 2 years ago, the investigations (which have been the longest ever in Sweden) into the Pirate Bay’s presumed copyright infringements began. The scale of the issues at stake in this trial is maybe best summed up by a quote from Peter Sunde: “We know that about 80% of all the traffic on the internet is torrent related. About half…
Anders set up a Commodore to give us a nice blue and white powerpoint straight from the machines memory. I have been wondering if this was an act of maximum open source or not…

6 days ago Lev Manovich released his softbook Software Takes Command. He described his book as a software, as it will have its patches in the same way as a new installments requires its bug (big?) -fixes:
One of the advantages of online distribution which I can control is that I don’t have to permanently fix the book’s contents. Like contemporary…
I made this video with the help of a collection of failing hard drive sounds, while the video is a combination of failed pdf screengrap videos (by me).
It is the first time I made a (kind of) music video-thing all on my own. For the music I didnt use ableton live or any other software…
At Haip festival in Ljubljana I met the Piratbyrån, the bureau of piracy which is (one of the) the driving forces behind the Piratebay torrent site. The Pirate bureau came to Ljubljana in the S23X, a Swedish modified city bus that they drove all the way down from Stockholm to Bolzano Italy. Especially for Haip, Ollibolli drove the bus from Bolzano…
HT Gold will be playable at HAIP Festival in Ljubljana in November (on the commodore, of course). Radio Dada will also be shown and I will give a glitch performance there.
Be aware that the framerate of a Commodore 64 is 50 frs and needs to be recorded in progressive scan mode – something that I cannot do at home. The recording that…

The [in]famous label Bleepstreet is back on its feet, which means there will be 5 very interesting concerts this week.

With Kotlinski’s background in underground computing and alternative electronic music, Bleepstreet was from the start about unpolished and groovy…
