My new job @ Kenz Figee

Tomorrow starts my new job , if working with the Japanese excavators was a incredible experience , @ Kenz Figee will be probably my biggest live challenge .
Kenz Figee builds harbor and offshore cranes and ill be working directly with the Hydraulic components that make the cranes operate.

Definitely better carrier prospects and the possibility to travel a lot are some of bonus of my new job.

Wish me Luck .

A teaser for an upcoming documentary, My Playground by Kaspar Astrup Schröder.
It is a film about movement, tricking and parkour in the urban space.

Watch | My Playground

Edgy, monochromatic music video for Friendly Fires, directed by Clemens Habicht. The band were transformed into Skeleton Boys as a nod to the track’s title, with the aid of double-sided sticky tape, fans and trillions of bean bag balls.

The freshness of Marc Webb’s love-me/love-me-not love story is epitomized by its perfectly framed tag lines…Boy meets Girl—Boy falls in love—Girl doesn’t. What else can you say about a postmodern love story? Not only is this delightfully surprising dissection of a romance structured so that it catches us continually off guard, but the classic tale of love unrequited is turned as topsy-turvy as a Shakespearian farce. Directed with verve, pace, and confidence by first-time filmmaker Webb and replete with Los Angeles settings that are distinctive and interesting, 500 Days of Summer never descends into ordinary romance. The typical premise of the love story—that we want what we can’t have—is fueled by a role reversal (it’s the woman who doesn’t want to commit) and energized by dance numbers, split screens, and two dynamic performances from Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. That Tom, a hapless greeting-card copywriter, and the alluring Summer, his temporary office mate, fluctuate between the highs and lows of infatuation, dating, sex, and separation is the conventional aspect of an unconventional tale of self-discovery and relationships. For a new generation of storytellers, 500 Days of Summer is destined to be a template for the future of romantic inspiration. Sundance Film Festival

R.I.P. HITACHI

Yesterday was my last day of work @ Hitachi Construction Machinery Europe ( Amsterdam ) , 5 years of hydraulic mechanics , one of my best live experiences , now starts a new chapter and a new adventure certainly.

Funny thing about my locker , those yellow bands , i used to use them to stick the cable from my mp3 to my t-shirt , otherwise the cable would fall and take the earplugs out of my ears , and that would really annoy me , just imagine me driving a 350 tons machine listening to Black Strobe really freaking loud , surreal .
Inside the locker among other strange things were 67 pens !!!!!

Performance for a matrix of 64 gas balloons, lights, and sound .

A room is filled with deep, evolving noises from a four-channel sound system. An eight-by-eight array of white, self-illuminated spheres floats in space like the atoms of a complex molecule.

Through variable positioning and illumination of each atom, a dynamic display sculpture comes into being, composed of physical objects, patterns of light, and synchronous rhythmic and textural sonic events. Change, sound, and movement converge into a larger form. robert henke

ARCHITECTURE OF SOUND
A space for sound. A geometrical landscape. It holds certain similarities with the LIQUID SKY Project. It’s a ramp with two inclined and accessible pyramidal elements that act as speakers. The music specially created for this project is generated inside the pyramids. There are two independent sound strings, each one is reproduced in its pyramid and they both finally melt into each other. There’s a line of broken light embedded in the ramp showing a trajectory and illuminating the installation at the same time. It is a full transitable installation. The new sloped floor is an ascendant “tongue” of light and sound.

Video by Joshue Ott, music by Ezekiel Honig.

Through striking visual imagery, Jeff Soto communicates profound visions and fears, nostalgia of his youth, and themes of love, lust, and hope. Soto’s distinct color palette, subject matter, technique and bold themes resonate with a growing audience. Inspired by childhood toys, the colorful lifestyle of skateboarding and graffiti, hip-hop and popular culture, Soto’s representational work is simultaneously accessible and stimulating.

Environmental issues also take precedent for Soto, who is concerned with conflict of humans trying to harness, or take advantage of nature. His paintings exude this tension, as robotic creatures duel, organic tentacles and flower bouquets thrive, and black smog looms amidst floating, ominous skulls.

In 2002, Soto graduated with Distinction from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. He currently lives in Southern California, with his wife Jennifer and daughter Shannon. Jeff Soto
