Streamed Performance on Saturday in Göteborg
Dataslöjd is taking part in Simultáneo, an online event organized from Mexico. Me and Raquel Meyers will make an improvised C64 textmode show around 19.30 (GMT+2) – a bit like this – and then Geraldine Juárez shows Wealth Transfer. 2SLEEP1 is also showing, aswell as other videos from the other artists of Simultáneo.
If you are near Göteborg, drop by Kulturlagret around 19. Everything is streamed online too – stay tuned at Twitter or Facebook if I forget to update this post with URLs.

Kung Fu Glitch in Aix en Provence
Kung Fu Glitch, a little piece of C64-noise that me and Entter did in 2007, is currently showing at Gamerz Festival #09 in Aix en Provence, France. It’s part of 44422435, which was basically an evening of audiovisual butchery in Bilbao. Sorry to everybody whose work we destroyed – you’re welcome!
I’m not sure if this was before or after glitching games was cool. Or was it never cool? Always? I keep forgetting.
Pics of Remote Control Music Studio
Some photos by ARD Text of my Remote Control Music Studio, exhibited at the International Teletext Art Festival 2013. There’s also a video here, for those who missed it.
Micomonocon
Micomonocon is a music game where monkeys try to play human acid pop. Set in a luxurious text mode environment, your mission is to prevent chaos and promote business. Do you have what it takes to be a top monkey?
Made by Raquel Meyers, Jens Nirme and Goto80 2013 for LA Game Space. Featured in Experimental Game Pack 01 along with indie game heroes such as Keita Takahashi (Katamari Damacy), Cactus (Hotline Miami), Chris Osborn (Bit.Trip series), Jeremy Bailey, Jeremy Douglass, Tracer & Minusbaby, Party Time! Hexcellent, and many more.
Micomonocon runs on Windows, Mac and Linux and requires Java. It’s likely the best way to practice your secretary skills and prevent monkey acid at the same time.

Data Klubb – Free Beer For Personal Data!
When the Piratbyrån-book was published, F.A.T also did the Data Klubb for which I submitted some personal data and filmed some. Also check out the great teletext stuff tele-F.A.T. Good stuff by Geraldine, Raquel and bigup2dance!
A Book About Piratbyrån
Piratbyrån was a loosely organized group that exploded the discussion and practice of copyright in the 00s. Now there is a book about them, which was launched last weekend in in Copenhagen. It presents fragments of their activities, such as The Pirate Bay, the Kopimi “license” and 100000 other things.
I’m happy to be included in the book, since I performed at some of their parties like the Spectrial. The book was designed by Raquel Meyers and you can read more about the book at her site.
