O.K. PERIODICALS #3 / REPEAT ISSUE – WHAT’S NEW?

WHAT’S NEW IN #3 Again, this issue is fully packed with amazing work by upcoming & established creative talents which share, show and submit contributions. All the work is connected to the REPEAT theme. Crowdsourced cover During the design process there was already an international media hype about our crowdsourced cover experiment. The original cover design (see inside cover) was broken down into tiny bits and scattered over hundreds of people worldwide, who each recreated their own little piece in their own distinct way. The result: a spectacularly unpredictable cover!

The White Pages (8-9) Brand new in this issue are ‘The White Pages’. You can design your own spread on pages 8-9. Do it at the bookstore and afterwards put it back on the shelves. (Showcase your work to the world!) Or create it at home and give the copy to a friend or

family. But, be sure to make a picture and send it to us! We’ll put it on our website, as well as in the forthcoming issue! Common knowledge (10-15) Snippets about things that make you wonder. I wish I made that! (17-27) This section shows amazing work which we wish we made! And it includes a selection of amazing projects featured on the O.K. Blog (www.ok-blog.nl). Highlighted contributors (28-32) From now on, each issue will feature short interviews and photos of contributors in their working space. Visual footnotes In line with the previous issues the visual footnotes are slowly evolving into something quite unique in magazine-design. In this issue they even show more content-related subjects.

PLEASANTLY DISRUPTIVE – EDITORIAL WATCHING ‘GROUNDHOGDAY’ WHILE LISTENING TO ‘CIRCLE OF LIFE’ Every time I start watching a movie, my memory shuts down. Apparently, it has a built-in mechanism that erases everything afterwards. Consequently, no warning sign goes off when I’m channel surfing and come across a movie that I’ve already seen. On the contrary, every time I stumble upon one that makes me think: ‘Hey, this might be going somewhere!’ my girlfriend lets out a sigh. Cynical remarks like ‘How many times have you seen that one?’ I always cut short by saying that this is the first... ‘I think?’. If the movie happens to stay on (I have little power over the remote control, which is a serious blow to my manlihood), chances are that a slight sense of recognition will begin to dawn on me two thirds into the movie. In that case, I must have seen it a great many times. Fortunately, I see these selective lapses of memory as something positive. The endings always come as a surprise! ... unless it’s a crappy movie. I’d rather watched something else instead. [wvg]

“IT’S SO NICE, I WANT TO HEAR THE SAME SONG TWICE” An itch, a beat, a loving whisper... repetition can be just as agonizing as it can be soothing and hypnotic. This issue charts the many ways in which repetition influences our lives and creativity. Artists, designers, illustrators, photographers and writers from all over the world contribute their views on repetition. We hope you find the inspiration in these pages to contribute to future issues. [bvdm]

HIDDEN CITIES – MANUEL DI TOLVE

In the chapter ‘1. Hidden Cities’ of the novel ‘Invisible Cities’ by Italo Calvino, the city Olinda is described by Marco Polo as “a city that starts with a circle and grows by repeatingly adding circles like tree rings.” With this idea in mind Manuel Di Tolve created a robot that would visualize this growth.

COMMON KNOWLEDGE To experiment with varying accelerations over different amounts of time and onsets, one device used is a centrifuge. A long support arm swings around and around a center anchoring point -like swinging a ball on a string around your head. A container, often ball shaped, at the end of the support arm holds the equipment or personnel being tested. The ball can rotate to position the people inside at any angle to simulate the changing positioning of a cockpit during maneuvers, for example.

What happens to the people in these testing devices? Often they throw up all over my nice equipment. Some of my test subject pilots used to have contests who could eat the worst thing to redisplay on testing day. One ate plastic bugs just for the fun he was sure to cause - then he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw up, no matter what we did to him.

Lemmings

Echolocation, also called biosonar, is the biological sonar used by several animals such as dolphins, shrews, most bats, and most whales. The term was coined by Donald Griffin, who was the first to conclusively demonstrate its existence in bats. Two bird groups also employ this system for navigating through caves, the so called cave swiftlets in the genus Aerodramus (formerly Collocalia) and the unrelated Oilbird Steatornis caripensis. Echolocating animals emit calls out to the environment and listen to the echoes of those calls that return from various objects in the environment. They use these echoes to locate, range, and identify the objects. Echolocation is used for navigation and for foraging (or hunting) in various environments.

Human yawning A yawning Willem Dafoe

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein

Certain cultures ascribe superstitions to the act of yawning. The most common of these is the belief that it is necessary to cover one’s mouth when one is yawning in order to prevent one’s soul from escaping the body. The Ancient Greeks believed that yawning was not a sign of boredom, but that a person’s soul was trying to escape from its body, so that it may rest with the gods in the skies.

COMMON KNOWLEDGE

Non-human yawning In animals, yawning can serve as a warning signal. For example, Charles Darwin, in his book The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, mentioned that baboons yawn to threaten their enemies, possibly by displaying large, canine teeth. Similarly, Siamese fighting fish yawn only when they see a conspecific (same species) or their own mirror-image, and their yawn often accompanies aggressive attack. Guinea pigs also yawn in a display of dominance or anger, displaying their impressive incisor teeth. This is often accompanied by teeth chattering, purring and scent marking. Adelie Penguins employ yawning as part of their courtship ritual. Penguin couples face off and the males engage in what is described as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;ecstatic display,â&#x20AC;? their beaks open wide and their faces pointed skyward. This trait has also been seen among Emperor Penguins. Researchers have been attempting to discover why these two different species share this trait, despite not sharing a habitat. Snakes yawn, both to realign their jaws after a meal, and for respiratory reasons, as their trachea can be seen to expand when they do this. Dogs often yawn after seeing people yawn, and when they are confused.

Self-portraiture and emerging artistic consciousness in Dafen 16

www.regional-office.com Dafen is a village surrounded by the thriving metropolis of Shenzhen, and the origin of most of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reproduction oil paintings. In the popular imagination Dafenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artists produce anonymous works for unknown customers, operating no differently than a faceless factory churning out counterfeits, replicas and nothing close to what would be considered art. REGIONAL productively collaborated with the otherwise commoditized community in Dafen by asking selected individuals, some for the first time, to imagine themselves in their professional medium. The final works show the technical, creative, and professional facets of the artists identities subsumed by the styles and relationships they maintain with specific famous artists.

The intruiging notion that time might run backwards when the Universe collapses has run into difficulties. Raymond Laflamme has carried out a new calculation which suggests that the Universe cannot start out uniform, go through a cycle of expansion and collapse, and end up in a uniform state. It could start out disordered, expand, and then collapse back into disorder. But, since the COBE data show that our Universe was born in a smooth and uniform state, this symmetric possibility cannot be applied to the real Universe.

COMMON KNOWLEDGE

In 1991 Doug Bower and Dave Chorley claimed credit for the crop circles phenomenon, though it’s widely accepted that other, “copycat”, circles were manufactured by other hoaxers.

Patent lawyer John Keogh said he registered the patent to show flaws in an intellectual property law that came into effect.

Agata Belcen & Rosey Trickett / London, UK Annette Bohn / Dortmund, Germany Iris Deppe / Utrecht, the Netherlands Jeroen Holthuis / Breda, the Netherlands Nicolas Bourquin / Berlin, Germany Xander Wiersma / The Hague, the Netherlands

What is your occupation and what are you working on right now? Agata: I assist the fashion director of AnOther Magazine. I’m trying to take pictures of coy butt moulds. Rosey: I work for a music video production company. I’m filming a documentary project at the moment. Annette: I study photography, but I also work with other media. Right now I’m working with a friend on a project that has something to do with interesting objects we found in an old house and the history that comes with them. A little vague, but it’s still a secret in this stage. We are mostly researching. Iris: I’m an illustrator and my main priority right now is to finish a few album covers I’m working on.

Jeroen: I’m a freelance graphic and new media designer. In addition I’m an artist. My first project, Bitquid, has been on show at various locations.

Nicolas: I live and work as a creative director, publisher and artist in Berlin. I head and support the onlab team of six designers working on commissioned, collaborative as well as self-initiated projects. The different identities and platforms allow for various approaches and systems in developing diverses projects like: “documenta 12” in Kassel, or more recently the entire redesign of the architecture magazine “domus” and the design and conception of the German contribution to the architecture Biennale in Venice in september 2008. We just finished the entire art direction for the artwork of the new album and singles of the German pop Band 2raumwohnung. We are also coaching a guidebook project in Beirut (Lebanon), starting a new book project for “Gestalten”, and preparing our 3 next book publications for “etc publications”. Xander: I’m a graphic designer. I’m currently working on a book, “The Paradise Machine”, besides making animations for VJ-footage, updating a Chromosome website, and

O.K. CONTRIBUTORS

building an interactive table.

Who or what inspires you? Rosey: Too many things to list. I’d end up forgetting the most important ones, but someone who would definitely be up there is my grandfather. He was the best storyteller I’ve ever met.

Annette:Talking to other people inspires me most, hearing ideas, discussing views and the like. I’m also inspired by people who are really into what they are doing and passionate about it.

Iris: A lot of different things inspire me. A few examples are Stanley Kubrick and Wes Anderson films, music by Jon Brion, strange documentaries, Berlin, old Russian collages, Roald Dahl, animals and Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Jeroen: I was recently inspired by a book written by Marcus Chown: ‘The Neverending Days of Being Dead’. It’s beautiful and accessibly written. It covers all kinds of topics from modern science and the philosophy of science. It brings together the enormous and the small, in the form of the universe and quantum theory. Whenever I read something like this, I engage with many different ways of thinking, which help me to understand the world in which we live. Eventually, if you maintain an open mind, you can be inspired by many things. Everything can become a source of inspiration.

Nicolas: Geopolitics and Dancefloors.

Xander: The stuff of everyday life, really, passers by, leaky taps, garbage. But also visual art, of course, and music, dance, film, books, technology and science.

What do you do when you’re not working? Agata: Talk about the law. Rosey: At the moment I spend a bit too much time

O.K. CONTRIBUTORS

talking about slugs & a creepy grey cat (they keep appearing in strange places and so demand quite a bit of attention). Annette: Nagging about being too lazy and not working. Iris: Sleep in! And afterwards meet up or have dinner with my friends or boyfriend.

What sacrifices do you make to achieve your goal? Iris: Sometimes I skip a meal just to finish an assignment or project. I guess that counts as a sacrifice, because I love to eat! Xander: I admit, it’s not really a sacrifice, but I’ve given up on security and a materialistic life.

What makes you happy? Rosey: I love the smell of Brasso.

Iris: Being in a city or any other environment that’s completely new to me. Ice cream also makes me very, very happy. A great concert as well!

Jeroen: Instances of chance and spontaneity, that’s what makes me happy. Not long ago I was at a market in Breda where I came across a stall with second hand vinyl records that was just about to close down. I found a couple of rare ones to add to my collection for hardly anything. I came home with something that wasn’t part of the plan. I like that. Xander: Lots of things. Let me pick out a few: clouds, normal and strange people, peculiar machines, insects, strange combinations of numbers or words out of context, and of course my friends and kids, friendly service in small shops, storms (after a hot summer’s day), small country roads, the rustling of leaves, waterfalls, old, shabby and abandoned buildings, etc.

Most bizarre deja-vu moment in life? Rosey: I only ever have déjà vus at boring moments that really don’t need to be repeated. I had it the other day when a friend was talking about removing varicose veins. Nicolas: You’ve asked me this question already. Xander: Actually, they’re always pretty normal... But whenever the déjà vu moment is there, I try to guess what is going to come next (because, after all, you’re supposed to know that, right?).

Do you have a neurotic tic? Agata: I’m not very neurotic, but late at night if there’s a lot on my mind, my skin becomes very sensitive and it makes me jump when touched. Annette: Not sure if this classifies as a tic, but I have a habit that I picked up from my mum and always found ridiculous about her, before I started doing it myself. I use plastic bags to practically store everything. I even put things in a plastic bag before putting it in my backpack. The older I get, the more plastic bags I use. Iris: Not really… perhaps gazing into nothingness when nervous and being completely yet unintentionally oblivious to my surroundings. Jeroen: Yes, unfortunately I do. I tend to scratch my cheeck now and then. My girlfriend always tells me not to, but somehow my subconscious gains the upper hand every time. Nicolas: Always put the objects at the same place to be able to find them again. As soon as the objects are not in the same place, I’m sure that they are lost. Xander: I always set my alarm clock at precisely half or quarter past, quarter to, or on the hour.

O.K. CONTRIBUTORS Repeating pattern in daily life? Rosey: I have recurring dreams about killer whales. Annette: Writing to-do-lists on random papers that I tend to lose somewhere, then writing a new list. Iris: Constantly checking my e-mail inbox probably. Maybe that’s a neurotic tic as well? Nicolas: Facebook.

Xander: My morning ritual: getting up, making coffee, pulling girlfriend and kids out of bed, having breakfast.The rest of the day doesn’t really follow a fixed pattern.

Tell us something nobody knows! Annette: At the age of 12 I was a hardcore Backstreet Boys fan for several months. I covered my whole room with posters and everything else that usually goes with this kind of fandom. But then, after a relatively short time, I suddenly stopped, put everything down and that was it with being a crazy fan of anything. Iris: I kind of have an irrational fear of balloons.

Which song/album did you play over and over again? Agata: A few years ago, Arcade Fire. Even when I listen to them now it has to be on repeat. Rosey: I listen to music on my phone but it can only fit a few tracks at a time so on the walk to work I listen to the same songs over & over. Right now I’ve heard a lot of More Than This by Roxy Music and Crimson & Clover by Tommy James & the Shondells... I’ve been having quite cheesy journeys. Iris: This summer I’ve been listening a lot to Phoenix’ latest album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. Lisztomania is such a fun song to dance to! I’ve also been enjoying a mix cd a friend made for me with loads of Motown songs. I especially love Brenton Wood’s Gimme Little Sign, it’s so good! Nicolas: I hear a song in loop during a few days, after that, I can’t hear it anymore, and I hear the next one I like in loop, I hear this song in loop during a few days, after that, I can’t hear it anymore, and I hear the next one I like in loop, I hear this song in loop during a few days, after that, I can’t hear it anymore, and I hear the next one I like in loop, I hear this song in loop during a few days, after that, I can’t hear it anymore, and I hear the next one I like in loop, I hear this song in loop during a few days, after that, I can’t hear it anymore, and I hear the next one I like in loop, I hear this song in loop during a few days, after that, I can’t hear it anymore, and I hear the next one I like in loop, I hear this song in loop during a few days, after that, I can’t hear it anymore, and I hear the next one I like in loop, I hear this song in loop during a few days, after that, I can’t hear it anymore, and I hear the next one I like in loop, I hear this song in loop during a few days, after that, I can’t hear it anymore, and I hear the next one I like in loop. Xander: I can’t seem to get enough of ‘Hot Chip / Coming On Strong’ and ‘Radiohead / In Rainbows’. Before that we had: ‘Vive la Fete / Attaque Surprise’, ‘Depeche Mode / Violator’, ‘The Knife / The Knife’.

Which movie did you watch the most and why (plus number of times)? Rosey: I used to watch Labyrinth once a week when I was about 8... I was in love with David Bowie. Iris: As a little girl I was a big Beatles fan and saw ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ on video about 30 times.

O.K. CONTRIBUTORS

Jeroen: I never watch movies several times because they get less special with every viewing. But one movie that I’ve seen at least four times is ‘Requiem for a Dream’, a wonderful and moving story, magnificently directed by Darren Aronofsky, with the music as lead actor.

Agata:When I was 7 my mum and I went to see “Three men and a little lady” three times in one day.

Nicolas: Lost Highway, every time I discovered new elements, new details (I’ve seen it at the theatre probably 10 times) Xander: ‘The Neverending Story’. When I was still a kid, I used to visit my grandparents every Easter. Because my brother, my sister and I were always bored to death, they put us in front of the television. It was always the same movie (which also lasted for quite a while)... I must have seen it more than ten times.

BITQUID BITQUID – – JEROEN JEROEN HOLTHUIS HOLTHUIS

Next to our original, natural world of atoms, we’ve created over the past 30 years a new world that manifests itself in the form of uncountable electronic bits. The internet is an enormous network that was created for the scientific purpose of sharing information between computers that were not directly connected to each other. When the network was made available for commercial use, it thoroughly revolutionised the way we live our everyday lives . Many people have started to inhibit the new ‘environment’ that replaces the world of atoms. This cyberspace is used to learn, work, communicate, meet people. A network devised for informational purposes has come to evolve into a phenomenon that also incorporates social life. Between those two parallel worlds, you could say, there is a kind of imaginary void, waiting to be filled by all sorts of new interfaces. In time, both worlds will be joined by an increasing number of connections.

Usually, the two worlds are merged through a PC with a mouse and a keyboard. When we take place in front of the screen, we no longer find ourselves mentally in this world. However, we do possess many skills in this life that we barely use when sitting in front of the computer. On the whole, the graphical user interface neglects most physical characteristics of our world. The action on screen tries to convey a sense of ‘smoothness’ to the user, who has a limited set of resources. ‘Look-and-feel’ has become a frequent term in the field of webdesign. But the user’s actions are limited to the visual, he doesn’t feel. The desktop metaphor gives us the idea that our information is kept in a place that is readily accessible. However, in fact, our information is stored on a disk of atoms that do or do not possess a magnetic charge. But in our understanding, we just put information in maps, often to throw it away again later on. This spatial interpretation has proven successful because humans are used to manoeuvring in spatial terms by nature. Nevertheless, the on-screen world is an abstraction or rather an interpretation of reality. Our interface stays confined to a single physical space.

Because I think that the physical world has so much more to offer than the small part that is actually being used today, I wanted to see what would happen if the bits inside a computer were made tangible. By way of experiment I have tried to visualise and transform into a concrete medium the endless abstraction of ones and zeros (which is yet another abstraction we invented for the presence or absence of electrical current). I have deliberately opted for one that, I believe, can be best associated with an analogue sense, namely liquid. The result is Bitquid. A system with parallel hoses through which, in turn, coloured (fluorescent water) and colourless fluids (lamp oil) are pumped, in order to symbolise the liquid ones and zeros. The computer features software that drives specially developed hardware. Literally, rows of bits are sent to the system, which are then translated into their liquid equivalents. From bits to atoms. The repetitious sound of the valves opening and closing, along with the continuous stream of visual information, confers the feeling of being in an analogue cyberspace. The ticking signifies the moment when a bit goes analogue. In this way the system plays around with the imaginary border at which digital information ceases to exist and the analogue world takes over. At the end of the system, the liquid analog information is translated back into electronic digital bits. The effect of the analog world on the digital information will be shown on two screens. The first screen will show a digital image, the other one will display the same image on the other side, but mediated by the imprint of the analogue world. The digital information is sent through the tubes via a protocol to be decoded at the other end, just like in a local area network. Since the analogue world has altered the information, the protocol has in fact changed as well, causing a deviation in the decoding process. This causes the protocol of the information transport to become visualised. For us, it is rarely exact. When information is repeated (copied) in the analogue world it never stays exactly the same. A book or a vinyl record wears down, atoms change. Digital repetition, on the other hand, can produce the same information infinitely.

REPEAT! UNTIL YOU GET IT – MARTIJN BRUGMAN

When I opened the curtains of my room for the first time in five days I noticed it was time to clean up. 40

There were unread books on the desk, newspaper clippings, the empty box of the external hard drive that I had bought recently, the external hard drive itself, a book of quotations by the Dutch author C. Buddingh – no use putting it on the shelves since I flip through it every day –, a pack of cards issued by Warsteiner beer, CD-ROMs with unknown content – if there’s something on them – the receipt of that maglite that I seem to have misplaced, a tram and bus card, a CD by the Black Keys, a note (in my own handwriting) with numbers on it whose origin I can’t remember, two coffee-stained cups and a glass I drank coca-cola from the day before. Since I hadn’t yet assigned a specific part of my room to newspaper clippings I took a moment to think about where I could possibly store them. But then I realized that I have a hard time finding things in new places. In order not to lose the clipping I decided to put them on the floor for a little while. Now I stood holding the note with the numbers. The fact that I couldn’t remember off-hand what they referred to didn’t make the jottings useless. I’ve must have put them down for a reason. It’s possible that,

in due time, I’ll be working on something when all of a sudden the note comes in handy, saving me a day’s labour or a lot of money. The note was meant to be kept. Because I don’t have a place to stash these notes I decided to put this one on the ground, next to the pile of newspaper clippings. Now for the box of the external hard drive. I bought the hard drive on the internet and thought to myself that, should something happen to it in the near future, I would not be able to re-send it without a proper box. So I decided to hang on to it. Because I don’t have a place to keep my empty boxes I just put it on the floor, next to the note with the numbers and the pile of clippings. Next up were the books. I thought about putting them in the bookcase but didn’t because it lacked order. Putting my books there would make it near impossible for me to ever retrieve one. I decided it would be best to wait until I had sorted everything out. In the meantime I put the books on the floor next to the empty box of the external hard drive, the note with the numbers and the pile of newspaper clippings.

My desk was starting to look spick and span. As I was cleaning up my mess I was confronted with yet another problem: I have difficulties giving things a place. I understood that, sometimes, life is just like cleaning up. You have all these questions that you need to come to terms with. Why did my granny pass away? Why is there hunger in Africa? Why do three boys smack their car into a tree? But also: why do we live? It’s not easy to find a good answer and so you put these questions aside for a while, until an answer presents itself. Or not, for that matter. And so I decided to put the pile of newspaper clippings, the books, the empty box of the external hard drive and the note with the numbers back on my desk to see if I couldn’t find a space for them.

While adding looks for the next image the model remained in the outfits of preceding images, layering seasons and styles until she hit the low-crotched a/w Comme climax of the 00s.

else. On and on and on. I’m not talking about an itchy skin or a tickle in the throat. You see, I have these tics. Tics are sounds or movements that I make, caused by a tension building up in my head or in my body. I can’t ignore it. This tension is the itch I’m talking about and tics are the only means I have to take it away, to scratch, so to say. Most of the times scratching solves the problem for a while but then that itch turns up again. Sometimes tics repeat themselves endlessly. Even though my “itch” feels different from an ordinary one, it is at least as persistent. It is simply not an option not to scratch. People sometimes ask me whether

I’m aware that I do these things. They probably think that once I realize I’m doing something “funny” it will just go away by itself. Well, I am aware, I can tell you that, more than you are. But tell me, when you have an itch, you scratch too, don’t you? But nobody thinks that’s strange. Everyone has an itch from time to time. But not everyone has Tourette’s syndrome. I do.

For a while I couldn’t resist turning my head to look at the backside of every traffic sign that I passed on my bicycle. An excellent way to keep my tension in balance, although I can’t say the same for my bike. I still get tics every day. Some of them have been there all my life, others come and go. An extremely tenacious one recurs every day when I leave the house.

one two three but using a distinct pattern. A pattern that has to work out perfectly, fit the stairs exactly. Every step I take is a yes or a no. We need to start off with a yes yes and end on one as well. The first step, always my right foot, is a yes. As is the second, which is my left foot by the way. Then we have two no’s, followed by a double yes. This is the rhythm I march down to; yes yes, no no, yes yes, no no. So far so good. But when I get to the ground floor I discover to my dissatisfaction that, once again, the series doesn’t end on a double no. What we need is of course a yes yes.

THE CASE OF THE STAIRS

bat macumba ê ê, bat macumba oba

First, I step outside the door but have to go in again. Did I shut the windows? We could be in for some rain. Yes, they’re shut. What about the refrigerator? And the tap? Turned off? Yes. I didn’t leave the gas cooker on by any chance? Nope? Good, now I can finally be on my way. Even though I always check before I leave, I always have to double-check. Suppose I forgot to do it just this once? Out the door again, firmly locked? Give it a little shove, fine. That’s that, but now is when it starts. I live on the third storey so I have to do stairs. That’s easy you say? Well, not for me. Over the years I’ve developed my own little way of going down the stairs. I count the steps. Not like

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT I can’t remember exactly how or when I got this tic with the stairs. All I know is that I’ve been doing it ever since I was a little boy. The stairs at my parents’ house worked out all right. I’m still doing it now. On every occasion. It’s not the end of the world if a flight of stairs doesn’t fit the scheme. It doesn’t even ruin my day. Nevertheless, it does put me up with an uncomfortable feeling that can linger on for quite a while. That’s how I came up with various ways to cheat whenever stairs, to my greater frustration, don’t end on yes yes. In the case of short flights I sometimes manage to place my

first yes (using my right foot) on the landing itself. Thay way you create an extra step, turning a flight that ends on no no, yes into one that nicely concludes with no no, yes yes. For stairs that I take frequently I’ve come to memorize how I can best approach them.

THE TENSION SUBSIDES Fortunately, it doesn’t itch as much now as it did before. There was a time I would have gone back up at least the last flight of stairs to try and reach a desirable conclusion. I suffered many sleepless nights back then because of tics that just wouldn’t stop. Eventually I would fall asleep, not because the tension had subsided but from sheer exhaustion. My tics really wore me out. They bugged me, made me go crazy. Most of them have gone away now or lost intensity. Other tics have been around all my life and I’ll probably never lose them. But I don’t mind. I’ve come to accept them and learn how to live with them. Although they still irritate me and drive me nuts from time to time, there’s always this one advantage: my house will never burn down because I forgot to turn off the gas cooker. •

I explore this transformation by using weaving-schedules. After the patterns are woven or printed on textiles, I use the fabrics in installations. These reflect different habitual patterns that people have. My interest lies in the historical connection between textiles and architectural space; they are closely related as ‘shelters’. People seek protection by covering their bodies and by building walls. Walls were originnaly woven with organic materials and showed patterns that could be considered architectural structure as well as decoration. Recently I started working with models, which I cover with patternedfabrics. In that way I sculpt huge silent, blind, anonymous figures. Photographs of these life sculptures are taken and printed as final works on paper and silk.

BLOOD CIRCULATION; The Deadly Manuscript of Jan Jansen ∞ »

BLOOD CIRCULATION – BOY TIMMERMANS

bat macumba ê ê, bat

The history of Jan Jansen can be read alike the seasons. About in which season we enter I can and will not narrate. What I can say is that the room he was standing in consisted of cold concrete with here and there still some remaining wallpaper. Behind him the door through which he came in was still standing open. In front of him, in the low light of a bulb against which moths were flittering, there was a table with a stained and faded cloth on it. There appeared to be bloodstains on both the cloth and the wall behind the table. His white shirt was soaked with blood. He sat down on a lonely chair. The fact that there was a pen and also paper lying on the table felt as some kind of relief to him. He took the pen in his hand and wanted to entrust some matters to the paper, before it was too late. Comfortably numb he wrote down in ink as black as the suite he was wearing, the story about the assassin J. Jansen. Jansen was known for the fact that he never failed. He had never had a disappointed client because he got his teeth into his prey like a predator. Reliability and professionalism was what counted in his type of profession. A lack off work was something he did not knew. Names or faces of clients either. He did not wanted to know, it could only distract. That was also the case with his current mission, that had only come to him written down on paper. That was just how he preferred it. He knew what he had to do. His victim was already being followed by him for quite

some time. He tried everything to become one with him. To think like the other thought, to know what went on inside his mind so that in the end he could be one step ahead of him. That was how he had figured it out, and that was how it would go. He already managed to injure his victim just to slow him down, to limit his movement. All he needed to do now was to follow the trace the bleeding man left behind. He took the slow ticking of time, even seemed to enjoy it, but that was appearance. He was experienced enough and that, combined with instinct, was what lead him. He did what he was meant to do, just like the victim also played his role. There was unity and harmony. The track lead him to a unoccupied apartment. It took him through a declined staircase to the sixth or seventh floor, across a long corridor until the last door on the left side of the aisle. The door stood ajar. Jansen took the weapon out of the left pocket of his jacket and stepped assured over the bloodstained threshold. He knew his time had come and pushed the door to open it a little further. Standing in a virtually empty room he pointed the gun at a man who was sitting at a table bended over a sheet of paper. Acquiescence was in both their eyes when they looked at each other at the moment he pulled the trigger. The pen fell on the table. The body collapsed and disappeared behind the table. On both the tablecloth and the concrete wall, with here and there a few strips wallpaper, was blood. •

In the early 1990s Blanka Bokova, a Czech prostitute, is strangled with her own underwear in Prague. Around the same time, two other bodies of prostitutes are found in Austria, likewise strangled with their own underwear. While the murders are taking place, the perpetrator, Jack Unterweger, appears on Austrian national television. Having been released from prison only recently, after sitting out a 15-year sentence for the murder of an 18-year-old girl (strangled with her own underwear), he is the guest in a talk show. He is dressed up to the nines: nice suit, white jacket, flower in his breast pocket, black bow tie, golden jewellery. Surrounded by a handful of intellectuals, dressed as always in their dull grey and brown attire, he talks about the malleability of mankind or, to be more precise, the question whether an ex-convict can ever re-enter society.

MURDER AS A HABIT – MARTIJN BRUGMAN It is a hotly debated issue in Austria at the time. A majority of the Austrian elite is convinced that it is possible. Jack Unterweger is their much sought after proof in the flesh. Was it not his tormented youth that had caused all of this? Had he not conquered the murderer within during his time in prison? And while he was staying there, did he not start reading and writing: poetry, plays, children’s stories and a magnificent autobiographical novel entitled Purgatory, about his youth and his life behind bars? And had he not grown up to be the little sweetheart of the intellectuals, whose probational release they had requested themselves, with success? Unterweger played along in his nice suit with the red flower, the black bow tie, the golden jewellery. His tactics pay off. His release is just the beginning. Unterweger the intellectual – he has just started killing again – is offered a selection of jobs in the

newspaper and magazine business. He uses this opportunity to gain entrance to Vienna’s central police station, where the murder investigation is in full swing. ‘How big is the fear in Vienna?’, he asks. The fear he is wreaking himself. In the guise of a radio reporter he takes to the streets and interviews prostitutes (Unterweger: ‘How do you protect yourself?’ Prostitute: ‘Well, you can’t protect yourself because something can always happen to you on the street, whether it’s the killer that is murdering everyone or not. Something can always happen). An Austrian magazine asks Unterweger to travel to Los Angeles for five weeks, in order to fill in everyone on criminal activities in the US, especially in the field of prostitution. (At the same time, LA police find two bodies of prostitutes. Strangled, with their own underwear.) He is compromised during his stay in LA. Not by an intellectual but by a retired detective, August

This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily bad, quite the contrary. To prove this point, she distilled various images from a single magazine cover, which itself had been composed from elements of other magazines.

BEST FRIEND – THOMAS BOERBOOM

TIP: Name your parakeet after yourself . His name is one of the words that he’ll be hearing most often and thus be imitating first. When he starts pronouncing his own name, it will seem as if he’s addressing you personally. »

BEST FRIEND – THOMAS BOERBOOM

Language is an essential element of every friendship. It’s about letting each other know how you feel, what you like and don’t like, the characteristics you appreciate, etc. All of this enables you to get closer and build a stronger bond. Unfortunately, humans and parakeets don’t naturally communicate in the same way. But through close observation and imitation they can learn to understand each another. Parakeets are masters at copying sound. With the right training, you can teach your parakeet human speech. First of all you decide on what you would like your parakeet to say. It would be wise to opt for a word or a short phrase that designates you as a friend and indicates to the parakeet who you are. After you’ve chosen the appropriate lines, you say them while filming yourself on camera. Next you put a display in front of your parakeet’s cage and loop the short piece of footage. But be sure to turn it off at night. Parakeets need to sleep as well. •

Light

In his latest photographic series, the visibility of this creative process is reduced. Under the working title ‘Light’, Van Veluw has covered his head with strokes of light generating foil. Photographed in total darkness, the highly radiant bright blue light produced by this material, allow it to stand out as an autonomous object. Forgotten are the features of Van Veluw´s face, only its shape remains discernable in the route that each stroke of light takes. Light becomes form and it stands free from any ‘original’ subject. It is this ‘invisibility’ of the production processes that creates the freedom in this image.

LIGHT – LEVI VAN VELUW

When did you start using your face as an object/canvas and why did you decide to use this method in the upcoming projects? I started using my own face around 2005. In most cases it is my head that is the carrier of these transformations and combinations. The expressionless, and almost universal face, allows the viewer to project himself onto the work. Because the works have really existed and have not been digitally manipulated, each image contains a short history of a performance. Is repetition an integral part of your work? Repetition is a theme I find very interesting as you can use it for different ends. By for example using the same head and facial expression, the person slowly becomes of secondary importance to the form. The elements that remain constant lose their value and the elements that change, become the subject of the work. In this way I create a shift in the hierarchy of values. Your new video and sculptural projects are adding a new dimension to your work. Do you feel that breaching the borders of photography has opened up new possibilities for you? One important principle for me is not to form too close a bond with any one specific medium, such as how photographers are bound to their cameras. In my opinion the medium is always secondary to the concept of the work and you should generally look for a suitable medium to carry out an idea and not the other way round. That is not to say that you do not need to learn how to use each medium professionally to get the most out of it. More to the point is that you are empowered to make these choices and that you do not limit yourself by avoiding them. One aspect of the research in my work is discovering the range of possibilities each “One aspect of the research in my work is medium has to offer, how a certain visual result has discovering the range come into being and what the of possibilities each significance of the adopted medium has to offer.” medium is for the work itself. •

7:00 a.m. The alarm clock. With a head full of sleep I hit the snooze button. Not yet. 7:20 a.m. I startle awake. Sleep almost caught up on me again. But my alarm clock keeps at it. I turn myself around slowly. A sense of unease comes over me. What was today all about again? I’m sure there was something… Thoughts fall into my head like droplets, one by one. Trouble at work yesterday. I was told off by the boss because I came in late again. I grudgingly apologized to him but our little incident stayed on my mind for the rest of the day. Every day for the last five years I’ve been showing up at this stale office building with its daft colleagues, watery coffee and spongy cheese sandwiches.

Never a compliment or a pat on the back. Sweat stains, bad breath and smelly feet are my lot every day. I won’t have it any more! Enough! Basta! Time for a change! I decided to burden myself with only the most urgent of typing, answered a few questions by nagging colleagues and spent the rest of my day working on THE PLAN.

I’ve been a good girl for much too long. I’m going to enjoy life from now on! Be ashamed of nothing! At last I’m free to respond to my neighbour’s advances, what does it matter! 3. A great trip. Since I won’t have to worry about my job any longer, I’ll just buy a plane ticket around the world. Surfing in Australia, relaxing in Thailand, drinking wine in Argentina. I’ll come back when »

CONDITIONAL DESIGN LUNA MAURER Conditional Design is introduced as a term that refers to an approach rather than a chosen media. The process is the product. Logic dictates the conditions through which the design process can take place. Constraints sharpen the perspective on the process and stimulate play within the limitations.

A collection that started in the seventies, containing several thousand unique printed plastic bags, is the starting point for TAZ constructing a parallel world.

PLASTIC SOUP – ANKA KRESSE

In the course of the past ten years I have accepted numerous plastic bags. Only a few months ago have I begun to refuse them. Not because I had a shopping bag with me on those occasions but simply because I chose not to accept one. As a consequence I had to walk home with an unwieldy pile of items pressed tightly between my arms. In my basement there is a large brown paper bag bursting with small plastic ones. It is my conscious choice to re-use the nice-looking specimens on the street and to keep the ugly ones for around the house. Sometimes I also venture out carrying interesting bags from abroad or even eco-bags, because they compensate. All in all, I dress myself in them. They function as an accessory and help carry out a code or anticode that reveals who I am, where I’ve been, what brands I wear, what I think is important, fun or agreeable with the colour of my coat. Sometimes I believe that my profession is against me. I love prints, paper and plastic bags. »

PLASTIC SOUP – ANKA KRESSE

There comes a time when my carry-around starts to show holes. In that case I throw it away and take a brand new one from my supply. I consume plastic bags. Is my consumption of plastic bags as unhealthy for me as the consumption of plastic waste is for sea birds? No. Because I don’t eat the bags and they don’t kill me. But in the long run, of course, they do wipe me out as a species and that is very unfortunate – for me and for all other land and sea animals. From now on my consumption of plastic bags symbolizes my giving up on the world. I can perfectly cope without plastic bags, I said to myself in December 2008. And so I decided on the following: ‘I will never accept a plastic bag again’. That way I can really make a difference, besides supporting Green Peace and the WWF. But I’ve only 100 refused them a couple of times since January.

catastrophic distant prospect. My resolutions had to evolve quickly. What I needed was a catch phrase. Something I could say over and over again. My brain needed to be trained. ‘I will never accept a plastic bag again’. Whenever I hop on my bicycle I repeat: ‘I will never accept a plastic bag again’. Whenever I look at my son I repeat: ‘I will never accept a plastic bag again’. In front of the traffic light: ‘I will never accept a plastic bag again’. In a split second I feel like my very own eco-warrior: ‘I will never accept a plastic bag again’. And I won’t. Ever. •

Statistics tell me that I use 160 plastic bags per year. Just like everyone else in the Netherlands. Even though I never actually reach that amount, I do have a sense of it.

ASTRONOMICAL REPETITION â&#x20AC;&#x201C; JAAP MEIJERS

Every night again the starry sky passes by like a slowmoving film. If you know where to watch, you can see magnificent things on a clear night, even without a telescope. One of the most spectacular objects in the heavens is the international space station ISS.

Astronauts Robert L. Curbeam (USA) and Christer Fuglesang (Sweden) work to attach a new truss segment to the ISS and begin to upgrade the power grid. (NASA)

In the time the ISS space station covers one kilometer a hummingbirdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart beats three times.

A collision with space debris of more than 1 kilogram at orbital velocities will typically destroy a spacecraft. Many of the resulting fragments will also be in the same mass range, and become an additional collision risk. It is possible that the growing amount of debris in orbit could eventually render the use of satellites, infeasible for many generations.

Day after day the space station covers the same lap around the earth at a speed of almost 28.000 kilometres per hour: 7.7 kilometres per second. Due to that incredible speed it takes the ISS a mere 91 minutes to revolve around the earth. Since the start of its routine in 1998 the station has orbited our planet more than 60.000 times. The ISS is enormous. And even now new modules are being attached to provide shelter and research facilities for astronauts. Just after the sun has set (or every time it is about to come back up) the ISS, travelling at an altitude of roughly 400 kilometres, usually catches enough sunlight to become clearly visible. Responsible are the large solar panels powering the station, which make it look like a bright star when it flies by. It is an extraordinary experience to watch the space station circulate overhead, only to spot it again half an hour later, and realize that it has covered the entire earth in the meantime. At some degrees of latitude it becomes even possible to spot the space station up to six times in one night. However, not all repetition in astronomy is this fastpaced. Astronomers have calculated that the earth has circled the center of our solar system only 23 times up until now, but then we are talking about unimaginable distances. On the level of the universe, repetition is believed to occur on an even larger scale and much slower pace. There is one theory, for example, that regards the big bang - the defining moment scientists believe gave birth to all matter, stars and planets was in fact not the very first beginning but rather just a phase in a much larger development. According to the supporters of this life-cicle theory the universe is continuously either shrinking or expanding, within an endless chain of repetitions. â&#x20AC;˘

All over the world, people participate in a phenomenon called “historical reenactment”. Historical reenactment is a kind of roleplay in which participants attempt to recreate a certain point in history. Roman battles, Medieval games, and the American Civil War are a few events among the many reenacted by enthusiasts, who conduct their play in appropriate gear and manner. These history buffs often go quite far to attain a sense of authenticity, all in pursuit of the perfect copy of their favorite event that changed the world. The images you see here represent one such a reenactment.

Neil Armstrong, on July 20, 1969, was the first human to set foot on the surface of the Moon . Well, supposedly. There’s been rumors that the ‘small step for man, giant leap for mankind’ was never made on the actual Moon, but in a Hollywood studio which would almost make it a reenactment in itself. Whatever, wherever exactly happened; Cocky Eek, Theun Karelse, Johannes Sterk and Elias Tieleman recreated suits, the shuttle and even the Rover, and did it all over again.
