Fear/Security Edition is a new book by the Boston
performance group, the Institute for Infinitely Small
Things.
The dictionary, a paperback which retails for
$19.95 on Amazon.com and at the Harvard Book
Store, catalogs 67 fear and security terms that are
either new – i.e. preparedness – or recently
redefined – i.e. torture.
The New American Dictionary is a humorous, provocative book that calls for readers
to pay attention to the ways in which terminology of fear, security and war have
permeated American English post-9/11. Emphasizing the open, slippery way that

Instant Vacation consists of two computers with one webcam, microphone and set of speakers each, a screen, or projector, and a projector in Malmö.
In Malmö the setup will be placed in one of the gallerys windows facing the street. As people approach the installation they will be registered by the webcam and microphone. The image and sound will be transmitted to the computer in South Africa where the webcam are facing the screen – transmitting the mirroring image back. Both sound and image are delayed according to the distance giving a weird sensation as it returns; almost as if a part of you are somewhere else – sendig greetings.

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).

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”
