A couple of evening’s ago was another Isthisit book launch! Always an exciting time since the show it’s fairly certain the show will be a good one. The book is also consistently thorough and well-constructed. The show and book is all about surveillance, the monitoring and mediation of online/offline lives by corporations and government bodies accompanied by the monetising of one's personal and private data. Some favourite works would probably be the McDonalds knuckleduster, a great idea and a really beautiful object and the unattended bag, complete with a 3d printed Mark Zuckerberg head.
We’re in the process of getting ourselves a shared studio with a big group of friends which will be really exciting! Having a place to make art, come up with ideas, even a venue for social interaction will be good. Making work without anywhere to put it feels bizarre but having a studio feels like it almost makes that OK because it’s not just filling up your house with crap. We’ve found a space in crouch end so fingers crossed everything will go through and we can give this whole “artist” thing a shot and keep tinkering around and making stuff.
