Well, I am not that into streetart, but this report here on the artists Kenor and Pez is really, really fresh. I’ll bet, that electronic music lovers will love their pictures!

Oh no, not a viral again… I thought the same, but the video is made pretty well. And it seems, that there is more behind Syke. This clip here is a “fake video” for a “fake energy drink” (or at least something, that is been sold at stores…). The Syke website tells us, that

Syke represents a movement supporting people who create great music and art. We fight against industries that are destroying our environment, our civil rights, our health, and our culture. We like stuff that hasn’t fallen victim to corporate manipulation-things that are creative, things that haven’t been churned out by mainstream robots.

Sounds upfront. Let’s keep an eye on that! (via)

Simple fun with colored liquid and a macro-level photocam has “Corrie White“. Her flickr-collection of liquid-drops look like alien landscapes and somehow they are. He uses water, milk and food-color. (via)

Now we have it! Tim Berners-Lee is to blame for millions of useless keystrokes we’ve done within last more than 10 years! He apolozied for bad design of the “http://” billions of people type into their machines. He said:

Really, if you think about it, it doesn’t need the //. I could have designed it not to have the //

This two backslashes have wasted an unimaginable amount of printer ink and paper. And: “Boy, now people on the radio are calling it ‘backslash backslash'”.

Brave usability-thoughts! The internet need more people like this!

Heavyweight testing. How far can you push Tetris in the NES? That was the guiding question from this game hacker here. Let’s see his results. (I skipped part one, where the player failed the game, instead of the gaming-system.)

Hard Format is a site for people, who love coverartworks and graphics, related to music. It is a collection of extraordinary works from the past and the present. They say about themselves:

It seems like everybody’s talking about the end of physical music media. Who knows whether they’re right or not, but Hard Format is a little place we’ve set up to celebrate our love of brilliant music-related design. That means we’re going to focus on records, CDs, cassettes and their like. However, Hard Format isn’t intended to become a dusty museum devoted exclusively to past glories, though there’ll certainly be some of that, we also want to highlight the brilliant new design work being produced right now.

“Used” Kruder and Dorfmeister CD-package

Let’s face it. Musik and artworks is a wonderful marriage. Music always kept pushing graphics and vice versa. That’s the good thing about Hard Format: The era of the artwork is not finished. In times, where musicfiles can reduced to just filenames, artworks at least ideally should play an important role again.

Chip everything, chip the world! Not long ago, we had with Da Chip the ultimate collection of Daft Punk tracks in chipmusic-style. And today we present “Wanna hld yr Hendheld Vol.1“. A collection of Beatles-tracks, that got chippyfied by famous artists like Anamanaguchi, Glomag, Goto80 or Psilodump. It took over two years in the making, and some of the sounds compiled there are phenomenal. Both from the uniqueness of sounds, as well as from the composition. This tracks are more, than just “Beatles played on chip”. Worth trying!
