Fake news: privacyloss caused by a phonebook

Just published a fake dutch news post regarding the loss of privacy sensitive data. The clue is that the data is just a phonebook. The article is in line with the recent increase in data-breaches that have been given widespread attention by the media lately 🙂

One of the arguments, that a phonebook can lead to determination of race or religion is actually true. The rest is just a bunch of fake stuff put together to look true and legit.

It’s in dutch, and you can check it out here.

Long story

Last week i was experimenting with some audio effects. Amazing how the volume can be cranked up to reach absolute insanity without clipping. The rage.wav file is in fact recorded whispering 🙂 Then i added the most ridiculous audio effects to make it sound … ridiculous.

The effect chain consists of the following ingredients:

  • Multiband Dynamics (no background noise, more highs)
  • Warmth
  • Vocoder (modulator effect)
  • Compression
  • Saturator (Hard Curve FTW)
  • Limiter (to “avoid” clipping)
I uploaded the original for remixing purposes. Can you increase the volume and impact even more?

2012 rockets for 2012

At Bit & Nieuw we launched 2012 mini-rockets from an old oil drum. Following the instructions on the label, we did exactly what was told: place it in a container [X], use a certified lighter [X] and keep your distance [X]. Result: a massacre and guaranteed much less safe than regular fireworks (so more awesome).

Step 1: take 2012 rockets

Step 2: place them in a container

Step 3: light it up and start yelling

Dj Dixz VS Stitch – Closing set Dreamhack Winter 2011

We did the closing set at Dreamhack, the drain the last bits of energy. We started with Hardstyle, cross-mixed it with Dubstep and ended with Hardcore. The track playing is Menace II Society – Chronic Counter.

LMD made a short video on the really awesome lights and lasers on stage. The stage crew of Dreamhack rocks! See you next year!

Inverse Graffiti @ RevSpace

Cleaning the revspace floortiles with a pressure cleaner comes with options. Awesome options. After some initial brainstorming and instant-proof-of-concepts the idea landed; we need a logo at our entrance. Can we fix that instantly? Yes of course!

It turned out to be easy; within 3 hours of work we realized a life-size RevSpace logo. Check it out and apply it to wherever whenever: its easy and it rocks.

Welcome to RevSpace!

 

First we started with a projector; which Stitch and Ikarus aligned and stabilized matching the side of the Revspace entrance.

 

Next; we use tape. A lot of tape. With two people it took too long, so Juerd and FooBar joined the party. We used up all the tape available in the space, but unfortunately that wasn’t enough. GMC rushed home to get more and that worked out. We only had about 20 centimeters of tape left! 🙂

 

Taping takes about 3 rolls of tape and 2 hours:

Spot cleaning the tiles with pressurized water only takes about 15 minutes:

 

Final cleaning for dramatic contrast enhancement effect:

Removing the tape:

End Result: WIN!

 

The following day, in bright daylight (image rotated 180 degrees):

Thanks to Ikarus, Juerd, FooBar, Stitch and GMC.

Google Scribe Loops

Yay, I just heard about scribe. After finding it could not help me with a random text on butterflies, it was a matter of finding out what it could do. I started with a ” ” space, and then just see what it would come up with. Enter enter enter enter enter. On September 8, on 4.00 PM GMT+1 it came up with the following contemporary art piece, which is a weird blabbering loop! 🙂

AD INFINITUM. In dedication to this awkward looping, of which i think will become its own art, the next sentence will prevail:
