Hang Outs... Nottingham, UK



Hi Everybody,

Please excuse the lack of customer care lately... Typical man that I am, I sometimes get a bit carried away with everything and simply can’t manage to get all my jobs done that need to be done when moving location!! Ok, Ok, excuses out the way for not been that bright and lets crack on with what’s important.... Unbelievable, new, cutting edge, contemporary art in the gallery!!!

I have just two, simply wonderful pieces of original work by Nom Kinnear King! Each piece is beautifully framed in a clean white, wooden moulding. Both oil on board juxtaposed with a quirky surreal edge! Note the awesome shoulder pads on the piece ‘The Assistant’!! (Carol Decker would be proud...)

Flesh Cut Fridays With Luci Westphal



Since September 17th a few hundred people have been occupying Zuccotti Park (aka Liberty Square), a square in the Financial District in Manhattan close to Wall Street - calling the action Occupy Wall Street.

In their own words: Occupy Wall Street is leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. We are using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve our ends and encourage the use of nonviolence to maximize the safety of all participants.

During the day the numbers swell to the thousands, depending on what protests or activities are taking place. At night when it comes to sleeping on air beds and sleeping bags, the numbers dwindle some.

By now the movement has spread across the country and the globe under the name Occupy Together.

Over the last few weeks, I've stopped by and participated a few times. I've published several longer videos already on my luciwest channel.

This video is a quick 1-minute collection of some impressions, including footage from the march from Foley Square on October 5th, the occupation of Washington Square and the march through Soho. For the video I did not include any of the night time footage or anything from the No Comment art show. You can watch those videos at youtube.com/luciwest.

There are lots of activities planned for tomorrow October 15th around the world. Come and join and say: Enough Is Enough!

Off The Shelf

A Touch Of Code
Interactive Installations and Experiences
Editors: R. Klanten, S. Ehmann and V. Hanschke
Publisher: Gestalten


What do you get if you merge a computer, its hardware, its software and a lashing of artistic pinash?
A Touch of Code of course.
This book tells the story of how innovative work is produced where the virtual realms meet the real world and where data flow can confront the human senses.

Code:
Have we got your attention yet, if so then you will probably want to know where the word Code comes into play. In the days of ol,  the Code was what computer programmers used to interact with their artificially intelligent lumps. Now, through interactive algorithms forms are created that are beyond anyone's imagination.

Touch:
For many years now code is no longer limited by screens, mice, keyboards, or terminal windows. All can be done by touch, or physical computing.

A Touch of Code shows how these genre work to create a contemporary medium.

Chapter Check:
Look - Constructing Visual Performance and Optical Seduction.
Touch - Examining Intelligent Interfaces and Tactile Communication.
Explore - Discovering New Terrains of Speculation and Innovation.
Engage - Establishing Operations of Involvement.
Intervene - Encouraging Personal Empowerment.

A 255 page title, full of colour and information; which needs a good sturdy hand or knee to support it's dexterous interior.

Let's see what joys the cover hides...
