Pre Tokyo :: QR

Everyone seems to have these QR's (of Quick Response) on their websites..
Sort of bar-code system for accessing by mobile-phones.
You're supposed to take a picture of it (scan it) with your phone and you'll access the data stored in the tag or go to the link if it  stores URL-addresses.
The system was initially used for tracking parts in vehicle manufacturing but are now all over in every visual media. The codes are also known as hardlinks and physical world hyperlinks and you can generate your own prints by visiting free QR-generating sites.

Pre Tokyo :: Tokyo Art Beat >findings

Ill. by Thiago Batista, one of the people preforming at Cut and Paste, a battling-event between illustrators/visual artists/etc.  for 15 minutes of fame. (forget all about DJ's and VJ's. THIS is it.. and the happening is of course sponored by Adobe.) 

Pre Tokyo :: Tokyo Art Beat



Sort of underskogish, but open to everyone. TAB provides a great overview of events happening in the city -within subcultures from art and design to museum-exhibitions etc.

day 4 of 8 sec. film

As day 3 went into the bin due to the camera being "100 years old" according to the guy at sony-center/Oslo. (the result being all colours looked harsh and yellow and the image very "1992-home-video") Day 4 has been executed trying to benefit form the characteristics/restrictions given by the old lump/camera, and discovering how redicolous intuitive and easy imovie is..

(New challenge that worries me right now is how to go from 16 sec. to 8 without losing the essential feel of the clip.)

day 2 of producing 8 sec. for nrk.


Sickest thing I ever saw.    Why, oh why.. 
Look at how sleek and shiny and small it is.  Almost invisible! Very discreet.
It is also super-fancy, with as many as overseemingly possible buttons, but still amazingly few functions. And the users-manual seems to be missing. Doh.
Luckily, I'm having less problems with what it's gonna help me produce.
