Hello.

We haven't gone anywhere.


We're just in the middle of our busiest time of year, and will be returning to our regular programming shortly.

We still have a lot of revolution to cover.

In the meantime, revolutionaries, Jeff Koons Must Die.

The game is set in a large museum during a Jeff Koons retrospective. The viewer is given a rocket launcher and the choice to destroy any of the work displayed in the gallery. If nothing is destroyed the player is allowed to look around for a couple of minutes and then the game ends. However, if one or more pieces are destroyed, an animated model of Jeff Koons walks out and chastises the viewer for annihilating his art. He then sends guards to kill the player. If the player survives this round then he or she is afforded the ability to enter a room where waves of curators, lawyers, assistants, and guards spawn until the player is dead. In the end, the game is unwinnable, and acts as a comment on the fine art studio system, museum culture, art and commerce, hierarchical power structures, and the destructive tendencies of gallery goers, to name a few.

I've mentioned before how much I love the ever cool Colour Lovers site for discovering and exploring color palates (and so has Rey Rey). I've just discovered that you can love their colors even more through creating your own patterns. Using shapes, shades and layers, you can create a pattern to which you can add any color palette, and allow others to as well. Above is one of my first attempts at a pattern. You can name the pattern (Carrot Revolution), and the colored pattern as well (Cezanne Green). If you've stumbled upon a color that hasn't found its own name on Color Lovers, you can name that too. What is even cooler about this though, is that you can then purchase the pattern as a print or on fabric! Hey fashion teachers & club advisors, hey soft sculpture enthusiasts- I'm talking to you!


Me? I'm thinking new sheets & pillows for the baby's room!
