Also, Jay from Magers and Quinn wrote and said that Chip Kidd will be speaking in Minneapolis at the Minneapolis Central Library on February 27th at 7pm. Maybe it’s me, but the ending of that Chip Kidd video freaked me out.
D-Fuse: Surface (only in Bangkok) (FREE)
Sat 26 Jan (19.00hrs)
Playground!, Sukhumvit 55 (Thonglor)
A collaborative, ongoing audio-visual work, produced by the London-based creative unit, D-Fuse, together with local creatives in eight cities across East Asia. In Bangkok, D-Fuse and Thai creatives B.O.R.E.D will film and record aspects of the city over three days before performing the results live. Each city is therefore an exclusive event, growing as the tour progresses. At the end of the tour, Surface will have captured the essence of urban expansion on film and in sound across the region in a unique and vital way.

In New York City, a canvas WK has made his own for over 15 years, ‘The Trail’ is an unswerving invitation to join this impacted state of crash. With a motor accident and a broken figure, the resulting story begins. Executed as invasive gifts to the cities he dwells in, WK Interact’s cumulative body of work ranges from large scale tracings of movement visible to all from the street, to detailed contraptions and tools illustrating a vision of power- frozen and hauntingly rendered immobile. WK is a method of elegant provocation, marked by both the charm and the gracelessness of the New York City landscape. ‘The Trail’, is the shadow of WK, set for you to follow.
Opening Reception: Friday November 30th, 7 pm (TONIGHT)
Exhibition runs until January 13th 2008.

Based in Hong Kong, the annual Microwave International New Media Arts Festival is a pioneering festival of its kind, both in Asia and internationally. Each year we strive to bring the latest marriages of art and technology to Hong Kong that would inspire both artists and public. The theme of this year’s 11th anniversary festival is “LUMINOUS ECHO” – an attempt to display works of public interest that explore the relationship between sound and light, with an emphasis to break down the barrier between man and machine, and heighten the interactivity between people and electronic media art. The Festival will run from 10 – 18 November 2007.
