“Nature stimulates the primary sense and the essence of life in me, a sense that we experience in love. The projection of myself to nature arouses the ecstasy of existence in me, and in this way I connect to inner elements.” -Interview in Haft Magazine, No. 19, March 2005

from machinetext:

mtymx. concert of the year. maybe of the fucking decade. there’s also an art portion - “expect large sized murals surrounding the field, video projections on the main screen, as well as an area for small press/record labels organized by milano chow.”

it’s less than 3 weeks away and i’m getting pretty damn excited. in this interview about the festival Todd says:

“This is a festival in Mexico, it is largely intended for Mexicans. We’re not banking on a huge influx of gringos. If Americans want to come down, that’s great…If you search Twitter for MtyMx, 95% of the posts are in Spanish and they’re going up like six an hour. People in Mexico are psyched, and I’m super psyched about that.”

World Record Appreciation Society #12

Here’s the piece I made for URDB.org at their Feb 16 event here in New York. These monthly events are ridiculously fun and feature 10-12 people who attempt world records they’ve invented themselves. The next one is March 17 and the line-up looks awesome.

Featured world records above:

Mack Elder - Fastest Time To Name All Star Trek TV Episodes In Broadcast Order

AJ Jacobs - Longest Hand Coo

Reggie Watts - Most Fortune Cookie Sayings Recited In Two Minutes Over A Live, Self-Generated Soundtrack

Emily Wilson - Most Table Tennis Balls Served Into A Crowd In 30 Seconds

Todd Lamb - Fastest Time To Vacuum One Pound Of Sugar

Ben Greenman - Fastest Time To Place 19 CDs Back In Their Cases

1st place!

So I guess I like the site 750words.com, where over the last 28 days I wrote a total of 22,161 words. I didnt expect to write so frequently, but I got hooked on the benefits and currently I hold first place (a shared first place, really).

The site’s idea is a spin on something called morning pages in The Artist’s Way. That exercise is supposed to get thoughts out of your head, uncensored and unedited and everyday, to focus on whatever’s important to you. A guy named Buster created 750words.com as a way to iterate on this idea through tech application and game dynamics.

What I use the site for mostly is to write a daily To Do brainstorm. It may seem weird taking 20 minutes to write 750 words when a to do list would take 2 minutes. But there are some useful benefits of “To Do prose,” written with whatever else comes to mind along the way. Rather than just listing actions quickly and somewhat mindlessly, To Do prose gets you to think though the gaps, the questions and issues surrounding what you’re thinking you want and need to do. On several occasions I discovered a solution to problem, a better use of my time, or I re-examined a goal. To Do lists, and list-making applications, are all the rage, but writing it out “long hand” like this for me was a very useful experiment.

Ok, I’m really just bragging here about my first place but you might like the site too…

People on the internet read a poem about snow

the idea: take comically awkward readings of a bad poem and set it to 60-frames-per-second video of snow falling + music by Erik Satie.

I honestly laughed at a few of these recordings, but was curious if the saccharin poetry of Longfellow, earnestly read by strangers on the internet, had any unrealized potential.

the result is something marginally different, not as funny or as bad, and perhaps with some new latent resonance. alternate title: a phonological survey of the word “bosom.”

well said, rosekohl:

the ‘p’ in todd p should stand for ‘papa’ or anything related to paternal care, cause not only he brings us the most interesting and fun bills to the most amazing places for a hilariously affordable prize, but also he makes sure we have all the commodities needed, such as modern toilet facilities, and provides us with all the necessary information like that detailed in his web page for the inaugural MtyMx All Ages Festival of Art and Music, the only thing he is missing is like an english-spanish glossary with useful sentences to approach the locals in their own language! ha anyways, it is just impossible not to absolutely love this guy.

Flagpole confers cultural legitimacy! And kind words.

Note for anyone in Athens: after the exhibition ends, shortly, Rand will have a post-show conflagration of any unsold framed work. This will be one art closing not to miss.

morninggravy:

The exhibit was recently reviewed in Flagpole, the famed hometown alt-weekly that covers all things cultural in Athens, Ga. In his write-up of our show, the reviewer didn’t even make fun of us or our work. He really liked it. What’s more, he lamented that Morning Gravy, true to our written-on-the-internet word, would probably be our last exhibition together. Thank you, Brian.

We also had a brief mention, and a photograph posted, on the Georgia Museum of Art blog.

Pablo Inirio is the darkroom printer for Magnum Photos in NY. For some photographers, mostly the older ones, Magnum still prints in this old school, analog way. Here’s a twitpic of Inirio in his modest darkroom.

He’s worked at Magnum for the past 18 years or so. Once I had the pleasure to meet him in the darkroom and see some of these test prints like the one above. The smell of the chemicals instantly took me back to the make-shift darkroom we set up in our bathroom growing up. I remember the enlarger was set precariously on the sink, the trays of chemicals arranged in the shower, and a towel wedged under the doorway. Maybe that’s one reason I like these test prints.

I don’t know if Pablo Inirio saves them, or if he has any rights associated, but to me these test prints, with +/- exposure notes, are works of art. 20x200?
