Indeed, today and tomorrow is turning 5 today. I don’t know what that means in internet years, but I guess that parents wouldn’t call it cute anymore.
The first big thing today is the fact that today and tomorrow finally has a logo! Of course I couldn’t do it myself, as proven during the last 5 years. I had to ask a friend to design it. So, thank you very much mister Paul Snowden! If I can get this far after 5 years without one, imagine where today and tomorrow will be in 2015 with one.
So what up for today? Well, there going to be a few very nice guest posts later on today.
The finale is of course today and tomorrow’s 5th birthday SPEED SHOW. If you’re in Berlin tonight, make sure to drop by and say hi!

Note to the people who only read the feed: you’ll have to drop by to see the logo.

Boats*Cars*Dollars*Girls*Helicopters*Jewellery*Skylines is Thomas Traum his attempt to construct the most generic Rap video out of many.

Musical genres are always heavily codified and rap seems to be one of the most extreme ones, each video has similar if not identical subjects, the same light, the same cars, the same girls, the same dance moves etc. Through their likeness they seem to be almost ‘classic’, just as classic theater or opera.

Next Wednesday it’s today and tomorrow’s 5th birthday. To celebrate this, I’m organizing a SPEED SHOW. It’s an exhibition format developed by Aram Bartholl, this is the manifest:

Hit an Internet-cafe, rent all computers they have and run a show on them for one night. All art works of the participating artists need to be on-line (not necessarily public) and are shown in a typical browser with standard plug-ins. Performance and life pieces may also use pre-installed communication programs (instant messaging, VOIP, video chat etc). Custom software (except browser add-ons) or off-line files are not permitted. Any creative physical modification to Internet cafe itself is not allowed. The show is public and takes place during normal opening hours of the Internet cafe/shop. All visitors are welcome to join the opening, enjoy the art (and to check their email.)

So here are the details for the today and tomorrow’s 5th birthday SPEED SHOW:

Wednesday 21th of July 2010, 21:00 – 00:00
