Artzilla.org is a collection of browser modifications which challenge online society and use online services to create art work. Internet artists, street artists and skateboarders use public architecture in ways, the creators didn’t expect it to be used. Let’s SKATE THE WEB!

Artzilla was presented at WORM Rotterdam and ROFL-Thing New York.

Internet artists, street artists and skateboarders use public architecture in ways, the creators didn’t expect it to be used. In this sense Artzilla browser add-ons, skateboards and spray cans are the same.

The Skatekeyboard will be shown, among the work of some amazing artists and friends, at the BLK River Festival in Vienna next week. I’ll be there, too – Also liebe Wiener – Kommts vorbei!
The Skatekeyboard is also part of my upcoming solo show…. to be announced very soon!

I’ll be speaking at the “Recycle” Conference at the AKV/St. Joost on the 8th of Oct. Looking fwd. to meet some good people and also to catch up with my friends in Rotterdam and Amsterdam afterwards!!!!

A while ago a curator named Tolga Taluy contacted me if I wanna be part of his online exhibit, as part of the Xth Biennale de Lyon. I was like “Totally” and now you can see my Timemachine project framed in his exhibit next to other kraut-superstars like Dennis Knopf and Oliver Laric And some non-krauts,too It’s worth clicking through it, Tolga curated some sweet pieces: http://mybiennialisbetterthanyours.com Yo Tolga, can’t wait for the t-shirt man!

F.A.T. is nominated for the Transmediale Award 2010.

“The [NEUTRAL] jury of five international artists, researchers and curators has selected nine projects from more than 1,500 submissions. On 06 February 2010 the award winner(s) [THE UNITED NATION OF F.A.T.!] will be announced….”

Yes, Yves you can keep that chain…. —– Nice car José, like that color … Michelle has a cool plane too! —— Wow, some curators can really afford cool watches …. Hey Doreen, Hi Li! Wazup? ….

This saturday (5pm CEST, Germany) Teorías del Caos (from Mexico City) is hosting a live-stream with me teaching some skate lessons. Bring your board and join!!

Pecha Kucha Berlin last thursday was great fun. TBX and a-RAM presented 20 FAT projects, 1 project per slide each 20 seconds. All 20 slides of the Pechakucha can be found here on Fuckflickr!
We would have loved to show 40 projects in dubble speed (10 sec). The PK-format is a bit slow for the F.A.T.-output frequency . Thx to Lars Reimann there are very nice and best of all ALREADY KOPYFAMED pictures of our presentation. (kopyfamo applaus! haha)

Drx and I are big fans of the german politician for family affairs, Ursula von der Leyen. Thanks to her quite emotional killer argument “child pornography”, we now have a law in Germany to build a censorship infrastructure. We think this is very great of her, so we started a Fanclub Recently we presented ourselfs to the public.

We also presented our fun Ursula script, it allows you to put her head on your website, and make her give comments about the website you are currently viewing.

Your Ursula von der Leyen Fanclub.

Awesome! Last thursday Chris Blizzard invited me to sneak into the Mozilla Evangelist workweek and to present my work to Mozilla folks from all over.

The Mozilla HQ is super sweet, the working environmet in Bulding K is how it should be – Sofas, a Nintendo Wii, a proper Bar, a Ping Pong table and big staches of free food and drinks.

I had a great time and since I “acidently” forgot  my artzilla.org flag there, I already have an excuse to come back soon

Thanks Chris! Also greets to Paul from Mozilla Paris/Europe, Asa Dozler who leads the community, Gen Kanai from Mozilla Tokyo/Asia, Paul Kim from the Marketing, Sheepy, and all the other great folks, whose names I don’t remember right now
