Today I participated in a contest, a web surfing contest. To be precise: the Trail Blazers Web Surfing Contest #5 at Transmediale 2013 BWPWAP. What’s so special about this web surfing contest?

In seven rounds, eight surfers are sent to specific trails they must complete only by clicking real hyperlinks. During each round a surfer drops out. If after 15 minutes, more than one surfer is still working to reach the goal, a rush to cat/gif/earth-images speeds things up. No keyboard, no Google, no copy/paste … just real hyperlinks!

These were the 7 rounds:

Round 1:
Start here: http://www.amazon.com/
Surf to: http://www.thepiratebay.se/

Round 2:
Start here: http://play.google.com/
Surf to: http://www.itunes.com/

Round 3:

Round 4:

Round 5:

Round 6:

Round 7:

So try it yourself, just use your left mouse button.

I made it to the final but I lost. I didn’t find a link to gettyimages.com, only to istockphoto.com
It was a lot of fun. Thanks to Olia Lialina, Dragan Espenschied and The Beautiful Zeros and Ugly Ones.
BTW, the soundtrack was awesome. Here’s the YouTube playlist.

Voltage is the title of Iris van Herpen‘s latest couture collection. 2 outfits are actually 3D printed flexible outfits. The first one is a cape and skirt, which is a collaboration with Neri Oxman from MIT’s Media Lab. The second one is a black dress, a collaboration with the architect Julia Koerner. Both use a different 3D printing technique to achieve these result. The rest of the collection is also worth a look, it’s not like anything else out there.

Last week I came across this video with 2 lenticular prints made by Rafaël Rozendaal and I immediately wanted to have one. (Any news on selling them Rafaël?) Today I found these paintings by Christopher Derek Bruno on BOOOOOOOM! It’s the same principle but a very different outcome.

Braided II by Joseph Parra.

“Everything that I wish I could be” is the title of a series of book collages made by Kent Rogowski. He used the titles of self-help books to create larger narratives, which become portraits of emotions, people and events in life.

“Yesterday,Today and Tomorrow”

“There Is A Rainbow”, Emilio also liked this one.

“You Are Special”
