authenticity on the internet

Following the recent deaths of Jeff Goldblum and George Clooney* the internet has become the new obits pages for the worlds media...

*ok so these were rumours started on the internet that within hours had circumnavigated the globe. Friends of the stars contacted agents to check what had happened and to send their condolences. The question is a age old one of authenticity sites such as wiki and google to some extent all seem to deal with perspectives of authenticity. It seems that we also like to enjoy the detective nature of finding out your truth.

Retail, event and DIY

Encastrable is French collective which does guerrilla interventions at gardening and DIY megastores in the Paris area. They just use the materials available in the stores for their temporary installations and sculptures. They didn’t ask for permission so it was only a matter of time till the employees cleaned up behind them.

Another piece of advertising I found on the streets of Cardiff this morning.

yoko ono cut piece

Cut piece by Yoko Ono first performed in the nineteen sixties more recently repeated by Yoko Ono in 2003. The piece is a performance art piece and one that can be performed by anyone. I am still looking for the description of the piece for anyone wishing to perform it but for now see videos below.

The line between art and design in the terms of performance art and event was really what the whole workshop was about and to show this a bit more see video below.
