Daha sonra Dara Kılıçoğlu ve Çağlar Kanzık, iki projeksiyon makinasi ve iki pikap kullanarak gorsel-isitsel bir performans gerceklestirecekler. ‘Sansur zamani’ ve ‘film uzayi’ arasindaki iliskiyi konu alacak bu performansda sanatcilar iki ortam arasinda, bazen basit dekoratif zaman zaman sintaktik iliskiler kurmaya calisacaklar.
Yildiz Technical University Architectural Department now has kayitdisi.org and their first event turns out to be a design week! From looking at their site I can tell there are many designers and artists invited to participate. Between February 4th and February 9th workshops and talks will be held. On February 5th Tuesday, starting at 10am (till 12pm) Murat Germen, Ali Miharbi and I will be clustering around the concepts of social web, location, connectivity, deterritorialization and collective intelligence during a two hours talk. Please visit kayitdisi.org website for more information and updates.
Last year, I’ve mostly listened to old stuff, some d-i-r-t-y playlists and some Fingertracks, regularly checked Bumrocks and Robots in Heat. Then I spent all my pocket money on Ebay hunting old titles I have discovered from mentioned sites. And honestly I haven’t pay attention to music stores selling new music really. But there are two exceptions to this: first Skull Disco stuff released early last year and Studio’s Yearbook #1 album. I am no big music magazine editor to sell you these albums but I can safely suggest you to check them both titles (I assume you are coming from a balearic disco or kraut-rock party.)
Lately I am very fascinated with middle eastern dance music forms. Especially old disco and funk stuff made in 1970’s and 1980’s are lovely. This is a rare gem from Ahmed Fakround, a great Libyan artist. Video is dated 1985 and has got animated arabic typographic elements. If you like the track you should check for a newly released Prince Language re-edit version of this track on 12″. Now I guess I have to keep my eyes open on Ebay for the orijinal version (;
I miss NY parties a lot. I have scanned few Killer party flyers from 1996 and 1997. Bold typographic layout on the back of each flyer is lovely. I am sure I have one more Killer Thursdays flyer with a body builder photograph on the front side. This image became International Gigolo DJs label logo later in 2000s. Also should have more Save the Robots club flyers soon I am planning to scan and upload them here. If you know the designer of these flyers please contact me for credits. (Click ‘more’ link under this post for few more.)
Come to K-BAR this Friday(16.11.207) if you’re in Istanbul. Perhabs this is our first official gathering for dugumkume.org. Burak Arikan and Klaustro (Erden Ozer Yalcinkaya) will perform live and later I will DJ for the rest of the night. Doors are open from 10.30pm. There is no cover charge. K-BAR is at Zambak Sokak No.7 Beyoglu Istanbul.
We had so much fun last night at Ozgur’s. After buying and selling shares at Meta-Markets for hours I have noticed that I can quit my design job and get serious as a stock broker. We were four people sitting around a small table with four laptops, refreshing the pages, browsing, speculating and seriously investing for in the hope of gain. I was so lost so I couldn’t even eat my dinner, döner kebab.
Meta-Markets is Burak Arikan’s latest intriguing experimentation, combining stock market aesthetics with immaterial labor in social web services. You can walk in and start trading right away. Burak gives you 25β (Buraks) to invest upon registration. Again it is addictively fun. If you are curious for fun you can read more here.
My Facebook Profile IPO is doing pretty good. Price of my Flickr IPO shares are a bit high for current volume of the market.
As seen in the example above I have created a small application to visualize Meta-Market stocks based on Edward Tufte’s Sparklines. It dynamicly creates a word-size graphic that can be inserted anywhere in the text. Widget is currently showing stock name, market value transactions history and stock’s final value.
Usage is pretty simple. Just copy the following code and paste it into your web page.
