Typewriter Week at Text-Mode
It's typwriter week at text-mode.tumblr.com and you won't wanna miss this one. We'll post our characteristic mix of old/new and classy/trashy that we collect from countless books and sites. So far we've done 1512 posts, including plenty of typewriter art. We're worse than the NSA, ffs.
Remote Control Music Studio
I was invited to this year's International Teletext Art Festival (ITAF) and decided to make a music software called Remote Control Music Studio. If used properly, it allows the user to perform live and feed various TV- and radio-information into the software to use as audio waveforms, sync, modulations, etc.
For one month this will be shown on German, Swiss and Austrian teletext along with works by e.g Dragan Espenschied, Max Capacity, Raquel Meyers, Dan Farrimond, Ubermorgen, LIA, and several others. There are also some AFT (Away from TV) events, such as an exhibition at Ars Electronica later on.

20 Years Is Nothing (video)
This C64-production celebrates the 20th anniversary of Hack n' Trade, a group I started when I was a pre-teen Guns n' Roses hacker. For this demo called 20 YEARS IS NOTHING I made the sounds, Acid T*rroreast (Raquel Meyers) typed the visuals, and Mathman (Johan Kotlinski) did the magic coding.
The visuals were really typed by hand, one by one on a Commodore 64. No undo function. I think it was something like 50 000 key presses for the whole thing. We made it in a few days, and it was a process with lots of twists and turns, so the music could've been better (especially since I did a lot of it at a place like this).
Thanks to Lemming/Offence/FIG for capturing it properly. Not an easy task!

Fågeldisk With Top Secret Software
When I was a kid I started a group called Hack n' Trade, and now it's 20 years old. To celebrate this, we made a release disk - FÅGELDISK - with bird-related C64-productions like 20 Years Is Nothing, double and triple SID music by Jellica, burning birds and also some very secret HT-tools and games.
We made 10 copies and spread it around at the BFP copy party, so we'll see when it starts to spread around. In the mean time, here's how it looks:
