Chill Space is Daniel Leyva his contribution to JstChillin. Caitlin Denny & Parker Ito started JstChillin as a collaborative curatorial project. Every two weeks an artist will take over jstchillin.org with all new work that pertains to the interests of chillin.
Till this Friday it’s Daniel Leyva with Chill Space. When you visit the project, you’ll be asked to fill in your name and your URL. Then you’re asked to click on the checkboxes and radiobuttons, to use the dropdowns and even to write in the textfields. It all doesn’t make much sense till you press “GO” at the bottom of the page. All your input then defines the your ultimate chill space.
You can find a gallery with all the submissions here.

This is my Chill Space:

“Back In” from Laser is probably the first laser cut plexi phono record. A few weeks ago, Niklas Roy and Jari Suominen had the chance to use a laser cutter at timelab’s fablab. So they decided to make a record with 8 track loops.
They used a vector program to draw the actual record. With different line colours they could modulate the laser’s intensity. They also experimented with different depths of the groove within one loop like in track 6. Track 2 is something like a random noise experiment where the needle jumps in a different way over the grooves, each time the track is played. So every track has a different idea.
In the video, Jari explains the whole project and at the end you can listen to all 8 tracks.
The vector design:
