…don’t believe EVERYTHING the guys at Learndirect trying to tell you! “Nothing can stop you!… except maybe ah yea the slippery steps right behind our doors.”
If you’d believe everything they say – maybe it’s better for your health to stay stupid?

Something tells me… (Vol.7)
…what birds REALLY think about Fords.
Imagine the owner finding his car like this after a really shit day in the office.

Brilliant thanks Yvonne! I added this pic of yours.
I think they need to add some car brand names though – of some really stupid prick cars like those massive BMW-Chelsea-trucks. Shit them back into the stone age!
Somthing tells me… (Vol.6)
that some programmers should be shot! Or no, wait, the people who release that shit! Or no, the guy who owns the company who makes this crap – and got REALLY rich with it!
Dogs must wait outside!
Someone told me once that dogs always “believe”, that their master will never come back when they are left to wait outside a shop – hence they are always sad and anxious that “master” has left them forever. Of course no one can be sure what they REALLY think, but it inspired me to this series.
So if you have a dog – please don’t let him/her wait too long, please!

Take it easy, Rider!
He almost got a ticket for being too slow, oh the irony!One the funniest and most touching stories i read in a long while: Stanley Murphy a 90year old scooter rider took a wrong turn and suddenly ended up on this 3-lane A-road – where cars normally speed with 70mph. The article says that “confused” Stan didnt know how he turned up there. Motorists called the police who then helped him getting home saying that they were unlikely to take any action against him.
*phew*so glad for good ol’ Stanny. The thought they might lock him up with all the other rapists, thieves and bankers nearly broke my heart.
But the most interesting thing about this whole story is – that those electric scooters aren’t naturally forbidden on those kind of roads – all you need is a number plate and a tax stamp!!! How cool!?! I sooo gonna get a scooter now!

Creatures Going with the Wind
A friend just showed me this video (thanks Si!). It blew me away. This guy called Theo Jansen created those gorgeous kinetic moving creatures from plastic pipes and water bottles. They are powered by the wind and apparently can survive by themselves! You have to watch it to get the genius of it! It’s incredible!

Alotta Piss (for two sentences)
This is London’s latest answer to stop pissheads pissing everywhere. Looks like Oscar the Grouch is a bit pissed on/off though.
Pretty Petticoat?
Ever gone to the Petticoat Lane Market in East London? Well I did and my verdict is not the best. For shopping it’s defnit not my thing but for photos it’s very interesting. For a review and a photo gallery about this place click here or on one of the photos.
3 Free Terrorists
At the first glance I thought – hey why are there only 3 terrorists on the pic?! What happened to the FOURTH!?! Then i realised the stupid way the frontpage was designed.
Robot Love – Kinetica Art Fair ’09
http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3426650&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1
Yesterday I went to an amazing artfair called Kinetica. This is an MUST SEE annual event dedicated to kinetic, electronic and new media art – which means you see a lot of very inventive stuff that makes you wonder around in awe or just puts a smile on your face. You can see bizarre machines, 3D-television and some impressive light and sound installations.
One of the best ideas came from an artist called Chris O’Shea who developed an interactive light project – in which the spots of a few dozen red police lights installed on the floor where following your every step. People just turned into little kids walking around.
Giles Walker must have seen the Bjork-video with the kissing robots – of which his lapdancing and deejaying robots reminded me a lot . Maybe not as inventive as other work at the Kinetica but defnit one that everyone will remember.
But my favourite object of the exhibition was a robotic bird by the artist called Tim Lewis. The bird looked at the first glance like a small ostrich. But at the second glance you realised it was made of 3 robotic arms in form of human arms – two working as legs and one as the head. It walked and moved like a real bird. What impressed me was that although i knew it was an android – i felt immediately an emotional connection. It really made me think how easy it maybe one day will be to replace real pets with robots.
There are a lot of really clever ideas and projects which you will probably not see anywhere else. It is 100% worth £5 for the entrance.
But you gotta hurry it’s only open til 2 March 09.
Venue: P3, 35 Marylebone Rd. London NW1 (just opposite Bakeloo Station), Open Monday: 9am-4pm
The music I used in the video comes from Cuebit – check out his beautiful tunes on www.myspace.com/cuebit

Giles Walker’s erotic Androids.
I loved this futuristic light installation by wrap3!
Chris O’Shea’s light installation was a hit with the audience.
Peter Bosch and Simone Simons created by far the loudest art of the night: madly vibrating boxes.
Adrian Baynes’ Wall of Eyes followed your every move.
