Tonight, iKatun will infiltrate the opening reception for the festival with
the below instruction:

———————————————-
DAY #1: INSTRUCTION #42 — “the Grotesque”

A person [or a few persons] enters – a stage or something – and stops. Then
slowly starts taking off the shirt, slowly turning it inside out and then
putting it back on again. This goes on until all garments are turned inside
out. When finished the performer exits. If performed by more than one the
performance can be organized so that the performers are taking off and
turning different clothes inside out at the same time (somone takes of shirt
as someone takes of trousers as someone etc).

Konstbazar 29-30/11-2003

Konstbazar ordnades av cockpit – snäll konst (Jenny Grönvall, Charlotte Eliasson och Robert Ek). Tanken var att erbjuda ett rum för konstnärer att sälja av gammal konst.

tinsel – o – matic

This is a modest project, but for some people at PDC, could be a paradigm-shifting one.

The tinsel-o-matic project was originated within the parameters of a Master Thesis project, titled “Design Hermeneutics,” a Gadamer inspired research, which explored the phenomenological, and experiential qualities attached to objects. The purpose of Design Hermeneutics was to produce an interactive artifact whose criteria for production were structured as a direct representation of information gathered in my fieldwork, namely the artifact produced was to mediate or give form to my understanding of the relations to objects and qualities within objects brought forth by the interviews. I wanted to design what I now call an “Artifact of Understanding”

:::Deep Hand:::

Deep Hand är en variant på sps. Välj sten sax eller påse med musen varefter spelet gör sitt val. Ett bra sätt att slå ihjäl tiden på. Utveckling Robert Ek och Emil Bengtsson.

ewy 1.0

Saturday, January 18th, 2003

“Exchange what you want with what you want” (EWY 1.0).

EWY 1.0 is a fileshare creating a kind of single meeting between people within the means of exchanging files. It´s an odd fileshare that displaces the norms of filesharing and uses the file to establish single meetings between people. EWY plays with the conception of unique as when you upload a file it will consequently replace the file of your choice. Only one person can have access to a file on EWY and in this way EWY offers the oppurtunity to anonymously share something personal and intimate with an unknown somewhere in the infinite cyberocean.

Love is to share:::cockpit – kind art
