// Failing harddrive // Cimatics festival, Brussels, 2008 //

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).

Multiplication can produce powerful glitches

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…

In the midst of the serene world of ɥɔʇılƃ

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.
