Post Tumblr Aesthetic
st0ck1mages.com – Niko Princen
I recently had the pleasure of visiting artist Niko Princen at his Berlin studio space in the heart of Neukölln. We discussed his current shows and previous projects, but most significantly we enjoyed a three-hour chat about art, digital technologies, economics, politics and so much more.
Visiting an artist's studio is an amazing opportunity to get to know the person behind the medium they use to communicate with the world. A studio visit provides access to information, explanations and anecdotes of their artistic practice; we gain knowledge that cannot be learnt by reading a press release. I love breaking the barrier of privacy by entering their personal space – it is fascinating to see which books they are currently reading or to spot belongings that might alter our perspective.
Niko is a so-called 'Post-Internet Artist' – his practice is formed and evolves around digital technologies and, remarkably, the internet. Contemporary artists dealing with new media are often too quickly included in this bracket, which is frequently compared to the Surrealism and Post-Minimalism movements. Although the term only came into circulation around 2007 (along with many other artists, Niko has been making digital art since many years) the description fits him perfectly.
However, in 2014 it seems rather passé to attribute such labels to artists. Contemporary art derives from conditions and influences particular to our contemporary society. In western societies many of these parameters are formed by digital technology, therefore, it is unavoidable that artists are influenced by the internet and digital technology, as members of society and as art practitioners. Consequently I find it unnecessary to label artists all the times. Niko, who doesn't seem to be a fan of categories, feels the same way and rejects the current debate around Post-Internet Art. The label is weak as it is too generic but simultaneously it is very powerful as it gentrifies our taste in art and what artists are producing to satisfy their audiences. As mentioned, not all artists are influenced directly by new media and so labels are perhaps necessary for the time being. Who knows, perhaps in the future there will be no distinction between a painter and a digital artist?
Labels aside, Niko's work plays with images of people's private lives, themes of surveillance, public access and human interaction with technology. Niko stresses that the human interaction aspect is very important in his work. His pieces are as much digital as they are physical – combining the two worlds. The performance piece Time and Images Again (2012), first performed at the Kunsthaus Langenthal, Switzerland, questions the production and dissemination of visual images. During the private view the artist asked the audience to form a circle and use their phone to film the person immediately to their right. Consequently all participants were performing the same act, generating an infinite circle of appropriation and creation.
Another example of appropriation in Niko's work can be found in Ukraine 2014 (2014), a 'curated' album of photographs uploaded by Flickr users (of no relation to the artist). These photographs portray people on holiday prior to the occurrence of a natural disaster or state of political unrest. In the case of Ukraine 2014, the photos were taken in the weeks leading up to the Ukrainian revolution. An easy link can be made here to Duchamp's appropriation and recontextualisation of the ready-made to create new work.
Digital natives (those born during the age of digital technology) don't know what it means to live in a non-digital world. Expressing oneself through a device such as a mobile phone or tablet has become the norm. We should expect to see an increasing number of artists using the internet as their medium in the future. This is not a current trend, as some might argue, but a way of life for the younger generation and the ones to follow. They will select from thousands of online sources for the perfect material to re-use for their artwork, they will mix-and-match software, TV-shows, commodities, images and knowledge, like the Futurists used every medium available to them at the time: paintings, sculptures, graphic design, urban design, films, fashion, literature and gastronomy to portray contemporary concepts of the future with an emphasis on speed, transport and youth, the youth of today use technology as a medium, and exhibit in digital spaces.
I don't think it is a coincidence that 'Post-Internet Art' was coined as a term in 2007. This was the year Tumblr was launched and quickly became extremely popular with young people around the world. The visual is chief in a culture that celebrates image over text, with a youth that is constantly searching for new visual stimuli and instant gratification. We transfer the visual language of the digital realm to the physical world in a phenomenon described by James Bridle as the 'New Aesthetic'.
The new generation celebrates what may be called a 'Post-Tumblr Aesthetic'; this is taking over the way we conceive communication; affecting all creative fields and much more. Youth culture welcomed the launch of social platform Tumblr in February 2007. It's influence spread rapidly and sparked a re-think of visual culture and aesthetic. Tumblr is a microblogging platform that enables easy sharing of videos, images, texts and GIFs. Users ultimately embrace a new form of communication devoted to visual image. Strong 90s aesthetics and visuals associated with the 'net.art' movement are common characteristics of Tumblr blogs. Perhaps Post-Internet Art is confronting what society presents to us: a world of found images and 'curated' confusion.
Young people are tired of being spectators; they want to play an active role in visual culture. From this desire arose 'the curator phenomenon' – the concept that everyone can be a curator. Many believe that extensive use of the term 'curator' is devaluing it's meaning and ultimately the public's perception of the role, it assumes negative connotations. In response, The Hermitage Museum published An Open Letter to Everyone Using the Word 'Curate' Incorrectly on the Internet.[1]
We have several tools to curate our daily life; we curate our shopping experience using digital platforms such as Pinterest, our food routine with Candy Recipes, our virtual visual diary with Instagram and so much more. Apps such as the The Pocket Art Gallery, launched by Tate in 2012, which lets users curate their own museum collection show us how art institutions use the 'curator' trend to their advantage. We curate our public image through social networks. Facebook contributes to the definition of a new online culture; although predominantly used in western countries the network is almost global, with a total of 1,110,000,000 active users per month (according to statisticbrain.com, June 2013). As Marshall McLuhan said in 1967, 'The medium is the message'.[2] Facebook is both the medium and the message. A direct product of a global community of users, members simultaneously create and consume Facebook content. Facebook is, for me, a heritage site which deserves to be defined as cultural heritage. As stated by Pierre Levy 'All human activity can be an object of history and archeology and a cultural form of expression is legitimate as soon as it finds a community to preserve it'.[3] Facebook users write their own history and constantly add to it, a history with a present and an everlasting future.
While we were chatting about online exhibitions and platforms for digital art, Niko told me that it feels as though there is a big trend at the moment to address questions about Post-Internet Art and it's future. He compares certain aspects of art to fashion and finds me in complete agreement with him. Fashion, like art, constantly changes according to the demands of society. It follows a perpetual cycle in which it creates-evolves-kills-and-re-invents itself.
To keep the comparison between fashion and art, digital art first started long time ago, back in the 70s, the scene grew as more artists and art practitioners got involved, more people had access to it and started to appreciate it. Art organisations began to recognise its value and digital artwork entered the sealed doors of museums and institutions. Cory Arcangel, an artist associated with Post-Internet Art, had a solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art when he was only 33! Digital art was suddenly appealing to commercial businesses, we now have many platforms making digital art available to purchase.
Drawing again on the parallel to the fashion world – a young person in the street (digital native) wearing something in a new way, nothing original, just a revisited garment (GIF made with found images from the internet) a fashion designer (curator) notices and develops a collection (new online project space/exhibition). Initially only a few people would both understand and be able to afford something from the collection, magazines and blogs feature the collection, eventually high street brands copy it and make it available at an affordable price. Two seasons later everyone is wearing it, is in love with it and then forgets it until the next cycle/re-cycle comes along.
Web 2.0 introduced a radical change in the way we understand and share knowledge. Consequently there has been a great change in the way we conceive art and its purpose. Previously, we used the internet to passively receive information from writers, institutions and publishers. With the democratisation of the internet, the audience can finally respond, joining the conversation and becoming active. Online users can now leave comments on blogs, e-commerce sites and share their opinions and actions in real time using social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. We can connect with our peers, initiate new projects and collaborations, get in contact with artists we admire and, why not, even make art ourselves.
Niko and I agreed that there is nothing wrong with trends and people getting excited about what is going on in the arts at the moment. It is beautiful to see how much interest has been generated around digital art in the last few years. We are both excited to see what will happen next.
Paddle on! (a partnership between Philips auction house and Tumblr) and Sedition are examples of broad audience recognition of digital art. This is no longer a niche scene for a few elite experts, curators and artists. Digital art gained the admiration of the public and most of all – become profitable! Cinemagraphs and Mr Gif are examples of how GIFs become profitable business. But the main question for me, as a curator focused on digital technologies – is this sustainable?
I have been extremely fortunate to collaborate with DAM gallery, which was one of the first galleries to represent and work with digital artists here in Berlin. Wolf Lieser, the gallery director, facilitated the dialogue between artist and audience, showcasing the work of artists such as JODI, Casey Reas and Eelco Brand. Digital art and exhibition are not a new concept to many artists, curators and organisations that have been working on digital projects for many years. Early projects of the 60s and 70s, for example 9 Evenings: Theatre and Engineering (1966) organised by the Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) are interesting to look up.
There are so many good projects worth mentioning; The Thing – a space funded in 1991; Rhizome which supports art and technology, online since 1996; Whitney Biennial 2002 – curated by multimedia artist Miltos Manetas. The pioneering work of artists such as Julia Scher, Doug Aitken, David Bartels, Lawrence Weiner, Vivian Selbo and Dean Kuipers in the early 90s and most recently projects such as bubblebyte – an online exhibition space created by Attilia Fattori Franchini and Rhys Coren. Domain Gallery – an online gallery focused on digital and Internet-based works curated by artist Manuel Fernández, the Biennale.org, Parallelograms, conceived by artists Leah Beeferman and Matthew Harvey, this is one of my favorite project along with Fach & Asendorf Gallery an online gallery conceived by Ole Fach and Kim Asendorf and #Post a virtual residency curated by me on La Scatola Gallery website, which sideways with a new online project that I am developing with curator Rózsa Zita Farkas gave me the chance to work and meet many brilliant artists working in the field: Sara Ludy, Luke Turner, Tom Moody, Niko Princen, Sabrina Ratté, Sebastian Schmieg, Chris Shier, Raquel Meyers, Faith Holland, Emilie Gervais, Thomas Lock, Lawrence Lek, Aimee Heinemann, Eloise Bonneviot and many more!
So, as you can see, there is really so much to explore and the quality of the projects is often extraordinary, as now to conceive a good project you no longer need a big budget and a shiny central gallery to host it, you need passion and a computer. This new way of networking is something that is possible only through the use of technologies as the majority of the time these artists are collaborating with curators and peers without having even met a single time – isn't that magical?! For me, this is the power of the web, the opportunity to collaborate with everyone, everywhere. Almost. As inhabitants of western countries, it is easy to assume that everyone has access to the same quality and quantity of digital facilities as we do. Statistics prove this to be wrong – according to the Internet World Stats 'Africa has 7%, Middle East has 3.75% and Oceania/Australia has the least with 1% of Internet Users in the World, Distribution by World Regions – 2012 Q2′.[4]
Progress is unstoppable and everything is moving very quickly, as reported in eWeek.com, according to Forrester Research, an independent technology and market research company, 'In 2012, about 2.4 billion people around the world are online, out of a global population of 7 billion. In just five more years, that will rise to about 3.5 billion online users'.[5] And then, what would happen then?
Despite what the prefix 'Post' may imply, internet is only in its infancy; the party has just begun!
Interview with artist Niko Princen
re-hands-on-pop-up-office, installation, Triennale d'art du Valais, Switzerland, 2014
VF: You have often been addressed as a post internet artist, how do you feel about it?
NP: ¯\(°_o)/¯
VF: Can you tell me how your practice has changed since you started in the 2000s (if it has)?
I am interested to know whether new digital technologies have influenced your work, perhaps new software and/or social networks?
NP: I actually started working with digital technologies in the mid 2000′s. Since then I went more from only online to a combination of online and offline. Looking at how humans use it in the moment you don't have to go somewhere anymore to be online, 'The Constant Moment'. So yeah, smart phones have of course changed the way I have made work (ex. 'Time and Images Again') as do social networks. In my latest installation 're-hands-on-pop-up-office' it is kind of reversed though. I have made an office with an online part. I do not share the webpages online, but people do get to see what's going on through a set of images I receive from the IP Cam in the setup and then share those on Twitter.
Technology enables. Art reflects.
Interview with artist Faith Holland
Waterfall Orgasm
VF: How do you feel if I call you Post-Internet Artist?
FH: I've never actually really had anyone call me a post internet artist, at least not to my face. I do think there's a danger of lumping a lot of people under that umbrella term with absolutely no specificity, but I hope that I haven't been and will not fall into that since, as I've said, I'm very much engaged in the Internet as such, not post it. I do think the term, whether or not I agree with its etymological validity, does refer to something specific conceptually and historically.
VF: When I have invited you to address some of my questions, you have shown me one of your tweets where you are stating that: 'My work is not post-internet, it's neoclassical internet'. This tweet is from last June, why did you feel the need to clarify that? Is this a way to escape the gentrification of the term Post-Internet Art? And can you tell me more about neoclassical internet?
FH: Yes, as I've said, my work has never really been called post-internet in any formal setting (exhibition, article, etc.) that I know of, but it's a slippery term and I don't feel it applies to my work. Neoclassical internet is a return to net art as such–for me, browser-based work that is made primarily to live on the Internet. It's not the only kind of work I want to make, but it is a format I really value and want to embrace despite its continued difficulty (or perhaps because of) to be subsumed into the gallery and market systems. VVVVVV, (http://www.vvvvvv.xxx) which I have shown in galleries–but only by bringing a computer into the space, is really meant to be experienced by a person online, who is perhaps (or maybe ideally) not even looking for art. When I launched the site, I took out ads on porn sites which brought in a huge amount of traffic. I wanted to try to draw out responses from this misdirected traffic, but that didn't happen as much as I would have liked. (There is some activity in PussyCam chat room and it made me really love attaching chatrooms to websites.)
Now I'm working on a new series tentatively/temporarily called Porn Intervention in which I upload near-porn videos to porn sites, particularly RedTube. The naming conventions, tags, etc. all fall in line with porn conventions but there is no nudity and I try to disrupt the idea of what belongs on the site in some way.
VF: How do you imagine your audience?
FH: I'm very open about my audience. Ideally my work can be understood on multiple levels. VVVVVV in particular is designed to do different things for different audiences, whether they simply want to enjoy their pornographic detour and be bewildered by the 90s-esque spectacle with some feminism thrown in or if they really want to dig into the feminist theory and think about the history of women's bodies on the web. I'm particularly interested in luring in a non-art audience and challenging the flow of freely available sexualized bodies, but a deeper understanding of the work requires engagement and previous knowledge–that's where the Cyberpussy Manifesto and the Links section take you in further.
Interview with artist Alexandria McCrosky
VF: How do you feel if I call you Post-Internet Artist?
AMc: I would say that I have a bit of a perplexed relationship with being addressed as a post internet artist. If someone were to ask me what I was I wouldn't immediately identify myself that way, I'd simply say that I am an artist. I like to create things that I find soulful and meaningful, and a lot of the time they take form on the computer but a lot of the time they don't. I just like to make things. If someone needs to classify me under that umbrella then I guess that's their prerogative.
VF: You have been recently included in: 'Paddles ON!, an exhibition and auction that brings together artists who are using digital technologies to establish the next generation of contemporary art'. Your work was sold as digital painting, inkjet on paper. Did you decide to offer this work as a print in order to increase sale opportunities or was this originally conceived to be printed?
AMc: When I was approached for Paddles ON! I was asked to provide a print of my work. I think initially it was thought that I could simply print out something of mine that already exists online on Computersclub, etc. However, like you, I love the way my images look on the computer and I feel like that is the ideal way to display them. I like to play a lot with pixel texture and that doesn't really translate at all to print. Also, the whole sense of discovery, the scrolling and flickering, something that is very important to me, is also lost. The compositions were created solely for the medium of the computer and I didn't feel right trying to force them into this new format. It just seemed kind of like letting both myself and the artwork down. Making prints of that work would be like making prints of paintings or taking a photograph of a sculpture… yeah, it looks okay, but some of the life essence just gets lost in translation. So that being said, the work that I submitted to Paddles ON! was an entirely new composition that I made specifically to be printed. It retains some of my usual style because it's hard for me to turn myself off, but it was never intended to live on the computer.
VF: Could you tell me about the Computersclub and your involvement with it?
AMc: I was asked to join Computersclub in 2010 after being introduced to the 'scene' through my friends Daniel L. Williams and Rene Abythe, both of whom were already members. At the time I can honestly say that I had no idea what it even was. I'd been experimenting with making art on my computer for a while but never thought of myself as being any sort of professional digital artist and I didn't even know that the larger community existed. I owe a lot to the club and will probably always feel a debt of gratitude towards it as its impacted me in only positive ways. My induction meant that immediately people from all over began to consider me a 'real' artist. I was doing what I'd always done but all of a sudden I was legitimate and had a public platform where I could get support and feedback. I doubt a lot of the opportunities I've had recently including Paddles ON! would've come my way were I not a member.

The V&A Museum of Childhood, website review.
The V&A Museum of Childhood website is user-friendly, the sections are well organised, and all the information is clearly displayed; everything is very easy to find and understand. Overall, this is a good website that serves the purpose of informing the visitors what's on at the Museum, together with information about its collections, facilities, and activities. Everything looks neat and is tidily arranged, and that is how it should be, considering the quantity of information available on the site. However, it could be given a fresh look, perhaps making use of stronger colours. Would it not be fun, for example, to see an engaging icon (a small star or a little flower) instead of a neutral white glove when moving the mouse pointer around the site?
While navigating the website I found a few things that could definitely be improved. I will suggest how and why below.
Considering that museum visitors are getting more digitally aware and, furthermore, most have a presence on social networks such as Twitter and Facebook, the Museum team should really invest time and resources on making the site as interactive as possible. This doesn't necessarily mean having a crazily interactive 3D cartoon or a few apps; sometimes a simple thing like a blog can really help.
The Museum's website does actually have a blog, but this is not easily discovered. The blog is located under the 'Collections' section instead of being part of the main menu at the top of the page. That is probably because the blog is not considered a priority, thus accounting for its location and the poor frequency of its posts. This is a missed opportunity to engage with visitors and share updates with them on the current show, upcoming events, news, and so much more. A well-developed blog could have a positive impact on the Museum as, through their comments, visitors could help in shaping the Museum's programme and events.
Here, I would suggest creating a sort of diary or journal. Perhaps the blog could tells the adventures of a young child, who every week discovers a new object from the Museum's collection. This would be easily maintained and would cost little. In return for the effort, the Museum could promote its collections and let people discover a new item every week. This is, of course, only one example; there are many ideas that potentially could be explored.
The 'Collection' section is well-structured and easy to navigate; for me, this is the best section of the website. However, there are a few small items that could be developed further. The 'Share' button could be more visible in order to encourage people to share the pictures and the information about a selected object; ultimately, the site could be made more visually appealing and playful—after all, this is a museum for children!
In places, the text is a little bit too long and too dense. It would be good to have a zoom function when clicking on the image; however, the image does get larger once you click on it and perhaps the zoom function is not essential at this stage.
The 'Learning' section is bursting with useful information for schools and the Museum runs a variety of teaching sessions in situ. However, as regards the virtual experience, something more could be on offer for those who cannot actually pay a physical visit to the Museum. It would be worth considering incorporating videos and podcasts about the current exhibition.
There is a brilliant virtual tour of the Museum. This is currently located under both the 'Visit us' section and the 'Corporate and private hire' section. I would enlarge the area to make it more visible and place it under the 'Visit us' section only.
The Museum's pages on social networks are updated frequently and appear very engaging. I like the fact that you can see the latest Twitter posts on the home page. It would not hurt to have the social networks icons (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Flicker) a little bit bolder.
In all, it seems to me that the website is too timid, and does not allow the Museum's virtues to shine; this is a pity as the Museum has such a dazzling collection. I hope that my tentative suggestions above might help in brightening up the site.
Venice Biennale 2013
Venice, Venice, you are so beautiful.
Yes, I just got back from Venice and I am still excited about my visit. Now I am sitting at my desk still recovering from a post-holiday sugar coma.
I love Venice, what is not to like? The weather was great, the food was way too good, the coffees were not that expensive (yes I am not lying, I have managed to get few espresso for less than €2) and on top of that I met my lovely mum there for a family gateway.
We went to check the Biennale and few collateral events, the sites were not that busy so we had the opportunity to really enjoy the shows. What I really love about the Biennale is the Giardini, walking around surrounded by pines, discovering works of art from all over the world. I had the chance to see so much art in so little time, this is incredible.
Walking throughout the pavilions you can get a taste of different cultures, traditions and trends in the arts. There were many video installations as well as few interactive works. The best video and sculptural installation I have seen was Ryan Trecartin's 'Not Yet Titled', this takes up a whole room of the Arsenale. There are four videos, all referencing reality tv, a sort of window on pop culture and youth, a very original take on contemporary culture.
I liked Massimiliano Gioni's curatorial selection for the show in the Arsenale, however some of the rooms were filled with too many works, it made me feel overwhelmed and it was difficult to enjoy some of the works.
Here are my favourite pavilions, I selected them for different reasons, if you have visited them too then share your thoughts!
Jeremy Deller, British pavilion, english heritage and pride. Who does not like a cup of tea?
Vadim Zakharov, Russian Pavilion, curated by Udo Kittelmann (Director of the Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen Berlin). This is the first time that Russian Pavilion is curated by a citizen of another country. An attempt to secure attention? Well, it works. One of the best pavilions.
If you want to experience death while you are alive then you must visit the Korean Pavilion. Kimsooja transformed the venue into a place of transcendental experience, dealing with issues relating to the body, self and others, death and life.
Israel Pavilion, Gilad Ratman's The Workshop is based on a fictional journey from Israel to Venice taken by a group of people. This epic trip starts in the caves of Israel, before emerging through the floor of the Israeli pavilion. Once inside the pavilion, the group turn the space into a workshop, sculpting themselves in clay they have transported from Israel.
Don't miss the Venice Biennale.

Art Everywhere, How to blipp…
Art Everywhere has finally started, the project is really exciting and ambitious. This enables audiences to connect with art works in a new way, bringing them into a closer relationship with the arts and creating new ways for them to engage with British art. I had a look at the website and I have discovered so many interesting works of art. I look forward to seeing the billboards across London.
Also it is worth mentioning the fantastic app Blippar created for the project, all the Art Everywhere poster sites are interactive via your mobile phone. It is really simple and fun to use.
Follow Art Everywhere on twitter @arteverywhereUK
Art Everywhere
Showcasing great British art across the UK, Art Everywhere is the largest exhibition of its kind in the world. From the 12–25 August 2013 some of the nation's greatest art is on display across 22,000 poster sites and billboards up and down the country. Artists, curators, media owners and entrepreneurs joined by a love of art have fuelled this massive charitable celebration, and the general public crowd-funded over £30,000 to help make it happen

Alternative Guide to the Universe @Hayward gallery
Last Saturday I went for a walk at Southbank Centre, the weather was lovely and everywhere was full of families and tourists. There is a food market that always have an incredible selections of delicatesse from all over the world, it nearly took me twenty minutes to make my mind up and buy a tomato focaccia, umm delicious. Since I was there I of course went to check the current exhibition at the Hayward gallery, Alternative Guide to the Universe.
"Alternative Guide to the Universe surveys an artistic landscape that stretches to the far horizons of our imagination. Featuring contributions from self-taught artists and unlicensed architects, fringe physicists and visionary inventors, it serves up bracingly fresh perspectives on the world we live in."
I enjoyed the show, it was nice to walk around and discover many interesting drawings and projects. I particularly liked Eugene Von Bruenchenhein's work, I would love to show you some images but at the Hayward gallery they obstinately not allow you to take pictures of the works. I went on their website with the hope to find some images of some of the works I like but I am afraid they are only featuring 5 images which I don't think well represent the exhibited works and certainly they don't do justice to the whole show.
I was also really intrigued by the work of Paul Laffoley.
I recommend this show to anyone who likes unusual works on paper and architecture projects and drawings. The show is definitely a good treat for family and children.

Patrick Caulfield and Gary Hume @ Tate Britain
Last Sunday I went to the Tate Britain to see its new two blockbuster shows, Patrick Caulfield and Gary Hum.
I love them both so I must say I was quite excited about it. I started with Hume's show. This was nicely curated, I did not feel overwhelmed by the quantity of the works, these were nicely selected and ordered across the exhibition space. I wish I could show you some of my favorite paintings but visitors are not allowed to take pictures. However you can click here and visit their website or even better go and check the exhibition yourself.
Gary Hume, The Moon 2009
Here I just want to say, as previously mentioned in some of my writings, that Tate is really missing an opportunity to engage with their audience, people want to share with friends and family and often with strangers what they are up too. We live in a digital world and a decision not to allow visitors to take picture is really ancient especially for such a striving institution such as Tate Britain, her sister, Tate Modern lunched Magic Tate Ball app last year, this was an incredible success and a perfect example on how to engage the public. I have often heard curators say that the reason why pictures are not allowed is because some works are on loan from private collectors whom do not wish these works to be photographed. Well, perhaps is the time to think about a creative way to let the public takes pictures of their favorite pieces while respecting the will of these collectors. An invigilator could kindly explain to visitors not to take a picture of a particular work, or in the leaflet it could be explained that some works cannot be photographed while encouraging the audience to interact with the show through sharing their thoughts and pictures on Tate's social networks.
Ok let's get back to Hume, as Tate Britain says: "this exhibition highlights Hume's innovative use of colour, line and surface in his distinctive compositions" and I couldn't agree more with this.
The large scale works literally hypnotizing you and make you feel calm, they have however a bitter aftertaste as they carry with them a feeling of melancholy. I find Hume work really hard to read as well as irresistible. Gary Hume is for me one of the most interesting contemporary artists we have.
Then I went to see Caulfied' s exhibition and I felt in love with him, once again! Patrick Caulfield's use of color is something hard to be described, the way the artists played with different color combinations is extraordinary, he created a perfect equilibrium of cold and hot tints, all his compositions are perfectly balanced in a triumph of harmony and proportion. Yeah, I'm excited about it! I totally recommend this show to everyone, especially to folks working or interested in fashion. I found it to be very inspiring, a joy for textile designers!
Patrick Caulfield, After Lunch 1975

Representing the UAE at this years Venice Biennale, Mohammed Kazem, presents an immersive work comprised of a 360-degree projection of the sea and illuminated interchangeable GPS coordinates within an enclosed circular space.
This work is one within a binary position, that of the actual and the poetic. Allowing us to be submerged within the moving landscape of the sea. Slightly disorientating the viewer, Kazem sets up an environment that could easily have become theatrical but steadily stays fixed in its place and seriousness. Balancing the panorama of the ocean and all of its romantic connotations, Kazem stabilizes us in reality, perhaps in an uber sense, stating our projected position with absolute accuracy through the means of a Geographical Positioning System (GPS). The execution of his concept existing within a convexed amphitheatre and echoing this circularity in the viewing platform and GPS display Kazem suggests larger notions, both mathematical and romantic, at times harmonising and conflicting both concepts.

Thread: Anne-Claire?
June 28th, 2013 03:19 PM #1
Thoughts on this? NN Annie?
I am not sure how well it'll go over--they're both one syllables, and my experience with Nameberry and French double-barrels has been that most non-French Berries won't be too thrilled with the flow, or the simplicity of Anne-Claire. I've loved Eve-Claire and Anne-Sophie in the past, and I've always gotten suggestions to opt for Eva-Claire, Evie-Claire, Anna-Sophie, Sophie-Anne, and Anna Sophia instead of Eve-Claire or Anne-Sophie, but it's just Anne-Claire. Would you be happy to come across a little Anne-Claire? I'm always a sucker for the nn Annie, too.
I'm not sure about a combo--so far I like the idea of Anne-Claire Felicity, Anne-Claire Josephine, Anne-Claire Lisette, and Anne-Claire Genevieve.
Also, Anne-Claire or Hannah for the nn Annie? I love both, but Hannah has some really special ties to my mom that Anne-Claire doesn't have. Then again, Anne-Claire has some wonderful ties to my best friend (who passed away 2011) that Hannah doesn't have, so both have bonuses to them. Which do you like best with the rest of my list?
Thanks, ladies!Ashley

My main issue with it is that I feel like I'm saying "Aunt Claire" or "unclear". The 2 consonants run into each other.
Anne-Claire Lisette is very pretty.
My first instinct is like you say, to make it Anna-Claire or even Claire-Anne.
What about Hannah Claire with nn Annie? Then you have your pie and eat it to.Olivia/Livia/Livy/Liv : Thessaly/Darah/Bethel : Noelle/Eve

Hannah Lenore Claire on my list, nn Annie. I suppose I could do Hannah Lenore Claire, nn Anne-Claire? I've found that a lot of the Annie names I've liked lately--Annora, Hannelore, Anne-Claire, etc... they could all be nicknames for Hannah Lenore Claire, which is why I've kept it (plus the awesome tie to my mom!). I'm really quite enamored with Anne-Claire right now, though--I want to give it a chance.Ashley

Diversifying your financial portfolio has always been a good thing, but what about your developmental portfolio? Most people tend to have a certain preference when it comes to SSD Windows VPS and Linux VPS, but diversifying your projects and using both of them is actually one of the better ideas you could come up with. One of the main reasons people diversify their projects is because putting all of their eggs in one basket isn't the most ideal situation the be in, especially when you're a developer and you rely on your VPS's and hosting servers to store all of your data. It's all dependent on the projects you're going to be handling, because there are many different things you can go about developing with these operating systems. Most people will tell you that Linux is ideal for video game developing and such, while most others use Windows when it comes to web development and anything else along the lines of that. It's usually based off of preference, but in some cases there is a clear cut winner when it comes to which operating system to choose.
There are many different ways you can go about incorporating both operating systems into your endeavors, but dual-booting computers is the most ideal way to go about doing it. Dual-booting is essentially putting the operating system on the computer (usually through Ubuntu on a disk or something like that) alongside the already active Windows, and then when you start up your computer you should have two different options. The information is a bit rusty in my head, but I remember using the "F" keys (as in F5 or F11) at boot to load up Ubuntu instead of Windows. It was rather easy and it really helped out during the long run, so that's another neat thing to take into consideration. Even if you're a firm believer of only using one operating system you should consider incorporating two, you never know how useful it will all be in the end.
Linux and Windows have different benefits associated with them as well, and as a result this means that there's going to be different positive traits to every single thing each operating system does (although they won't be the same as one another). Windows is fantastic when it comes to developing websites with tons of media in them like images or music, and Linux is one of those operating systems that gaming developers all over the world prefer. To each his own, but if a gaming developer is interested in web development they'd be better off working with Windows as opposed to Linux, and if it were the other way around it would still be the same case. Don't hesitate when it comes to testing out new things, especially if you're in the developmental field. New things usually bring new benefits and other traits alongside with them, so try something new every now and then (you never know how much it'll improve your life until you try it).

FCPS Continues to Outpace State, Nation on AP Scores
Posted by
Dian Nelson
Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) continues to achieve impressive results on Advanced Placement (AP) scores, according to results from the College Board. Indeed, according to the College Board's AP 2014 report, FCPS high school students continue to score well above state and national averages on AP exams.
FCPS continued to outperform state and global mean scores and percentages of AP students with scores of 3 or better. Maryland's mean score was 2.98, the global mean score was 2.89 and the FCPS mean score was 3.16. The percentage of students with scores of 3 or better was 63 statewide, 61.3 globally and 73.5 at FCPS. Achieving a score of 3 to 5 on a 5-point scale qualifies students to receive credit at many colleges and universities.
As the district continued to show outstanding AP results, the number of test takers declined by 225 from last year, and there were 379 fewer exams. This decline was likely due to several factors. Rising costs of higher education coupled with recent trends reported by the College Board that fewer institutions of higher education are accepting AP scores may be influencing the decline in AP test participation. More students are also taking advantage of the newly enhanced dual-enrollment option that allows them to take college courses and receive college credit while they are still in high school. Data in Frederick County shows that the number of students who are participating in dual enrollment has increased significantly in the last year. This is supported by student feedback that shows that dual enrollment is being viewed as a low-cost option for obtaining guaranteed, transferable college credit. Still, almost half of FCPS students take one or more AP tests by graduation, and 69% of the total tests taken were scored 3 or better – the level commensurate with college credit at many institutions of higher learning.
"I am extremely proud of the outstanding results our students achieve, both on their AP tests and in the dual enrollment program," said FCPS Superintendent Dr. Terry Alban. "Our students are on a path to success in college and careers. The data show that FCPS is supporting them every step along the way on that path."

FCPS Outperforms State, Nation on SAT
Posted by
Dian Nelson
Results released last week by the Educational Testing Service in New Jersey show that Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) seniors continue to score well above state and national averages on the SAT. Their mean critical reading, math, writing and combined SAT-1 scores exceed Maryland and U.S. averages, consistent with trends for previous years.
Results for the class of 2014 increased seven points in critical reading, seven points in math and three points in writing, compared to the senior class of 2013. The combined mean score for Frederick County is 1555; Maryland's is 1468, and the nation's is 1497. Frederick's score rose 17 points, Maryland's score fell 15 points, and the national scores fell one point.
The 2,041 SAT-takers represent 67% of seniors, an increase from the 66% participation for the class of 2013.
"Test scores often decrease when you have an increase in test participation," said Deborah Gilmartin, FCPS coordinator of Testing and Accountability. "So this is very good news to see local participation and scores rise at the same time."
There were 48 fewer exams given last year, due to a smaller senior class compared to the previous year.
All FCPS high school have offered an optional course to prepare students for the SAT since 1997. This course and others like it are part of the school system's efforts to continually improve academic performance and ensure all students access to challenging coursework that will prepare them for success beyond graduation.
The SAT is a program of the College Board, developed and administered by the Educational Testing Service of New Jersey to measure critical reading, writing and math skills. The scores--in conjunction with students' transcripts and other measures of performance--assist many colleges and universities in selecting students for admission.

Posted by
Emily Reedy
Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) is seeking parents and community members to join the Family/Communit
y Engagement Council (FCEC).
In the spring of 2012, FCPS established the FCEC as an advisory committee that focuses on improving and strengthening FCPS' engagement strategies and communication tools. The group examines current and forthcoming FCPS communication products and strategies – such as website content, parent letters, campaign videos, etc. – and provides feedback and recommendations to help ensure the most effective communication with parents, families, and the community at large. The committee may also review and advise FCPS staff on communication around current projects or new systemic initiatives. The group reports to the Superintendent's Advisory Council.
Their monthly meetings are held at the FCPS Central Office in Frederick.
To ensure broad representation, FCPS will evaluate potential members on a variety of factors including: geographic residence, child's grade level, areas of interest and community involvement experience. Community members without a child attending a Frederick County public school are also welcome to apply. FCPS will select up to 10 new members to serve on the council, which
includes representatives of the Frederick County PTA, community and civic groups, local businesses, teachers, administrators, and others
Interested parents and community members should complete the brief application at

Public Input Sought on Urbana Elementary Modernization
Posted by
Emily Reedy
Feasibility Study Produces Potential Options
Following months of work reviewing the physical building and its systems, as well as the property the building sits on, the architectural firm hired by Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) to conduct the first phase of the Urbana Elementary School (UES) modernization program has prepared four potential options for moving forward with the project. Crabtree, Rohrbaugh and Associates (CRA) has developed four scenarios, and the FCPS Facilities Services Department is seeking public input on them.
Throughout October, FCPS will provide different avenues for the public to learn about the potential options, ask questions, and submit feedback. Parents and community members are invited to a public meeting on Tuesday, October 7 at Urbana Elementary School at 7 p.m. where FCPS Facilities Services Department and CRA representatives will provide information about the four scenarios and gather feedback.
Following the community meeting, a description of each potential option will be posted on the project webpage,
, allowing community members to compare various aspects of each option. Community members will have the opportunity to submit their comments in the form of an online survey accompanying the descriptions.
Community members are encouraged to submit their feedback by attending the public meeting, responding to the online survey, or emailing their feedback to
During October, members of the UES Feasibility Study steering committee will consider all input received when it refines the four options prior to submitting the completed Feasibility Study and recommendation to the Board of Education for its consideration in November.

BOE Hones Strategic Vision
Posted by
Dian Nelson
Invites Public to Series of Discussions
The Board of Education of Frederick County invites the public to any of a series of roundtable sessions as Board members and invited representatives from various groups with a stake in public education discuss a strategic vision that will guide Frederick County Public Schools in preparing students for success in education, careers and life. Although FCPS has established itself as a high-performing school system compared to many other districts across the country, a rapidly changing environment of diverse student needs, changes to local, state and national regulations and an unpredictable fiscal climate have caused the Board to seek input in developing a long-term strategic plan that will guide the academic and operational direction of the district going forward.
To that end, the Board, Superintendent and other central office and school-based staff have been building a preliminary draft with district goals and priorities that it is now time to take to the public for feedback and refinement.
The Board's aspirational goals and priorities will help FCPS achieve its mission to reach students with exceptional teaching and caring support, challenge them to achieve their potential and prepare them for success in a global society. Once the goals and priorities are finalized, FCPS will develop benchmarks and targets to ensure that progress toward the goals and priorities is regularly measured. Finally, after having articulated and outlined the specific actions that the district will take regarding each priority, FCPS will begin to implement the strategic vision.
The agenda for each of the five meetings will include about 10 minutes of introductory background on the process and timeline, about 90 minutes of roundtable participants' open discussion on the proposed priorities, then time for members of the public to make 2-minute comments before closure.
The meetings will take place as follows:
Monday, October 13:
4-6 p.m. at the Urbana High media center
7-9 p.m. at the Brunswick High media center
Thursday, October 16:
10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the Bernard W. Brown Community Center, 629 N. Market Street, Frederick
7-9 p.m. at the Middletown High media center
Tuesday, October 21:
6-8 p.m. at the Catoctin High media center.

No Kid Hungry! That's the Goal.

FCPS Launches Breakfast Challenge
Frederick County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Terry Alban invites the public to join in launching the Maryland School Breakfast Challenge at The Great Frederick Fair, Friday, September 19, 9 a.m., at the City Streets and Country Roads exhibit.
"FCPS is proud to lead the way in the fight against childhood hunger in Maryland," says Dr. Alban. "And steeped in our agricultural heritage, The Great Frederick Fair is the perfect place to confirm our commitment to the statewide goal to increase the number of schools accepting the No Kid Hungry challenge."
Consider the facts, says a message from the Maryland State Department of Education: One in five Maryland kids struggles with hunger. Three in five teachers say students regularly come to school hungry. Only 60% of those who receive a free school lunch also get a school breakfast.
Nine local schools achieved Maryland's 2014 Hall of Fame Schools recognition for their participation in the breakfast program. They are North Frederick, Ballenger Creek, Hillcrest, Monocacy, Emmitsburg, Lincoln, New Midway/Woodsboro and Waverley elementary schools and West Frederick Middle.
Among the reasons schools join the challenge is that school breakfast is linked to greater academic achievement. It is estimated that connecting 70 percent of eligible school kids in Maryland to school breakfast could lead to 48,000 additional days of school attended per year, 32,000 students with better math scores per year and 8,000 additional high school graduates out of the current group of elementary students.
Recognizing the significant benefits for Frederick County's students, Oakdale Middle Family and Consumer Science teacher Nancy Keller enthusiastically stepped up to lead Friday's event. She will share information about the new 6th grade Food Science curriculum, farm-to-fork producers, food safety, and what makes a healthy breakfast.

Student to Meet with Congress, Senate, USDA
Posted by
Dian Nelson
Junior NBA Member
Lewistown Elementary fourth grader Nik Contreras is passionate about the NBA. That's not unique until you realize it's not the National Basketball Association but the National Bison Association that has sparked Nik's curiosity!
According to Principal Shirley Olsen, last weekend Nik and his parents traveled to the Michigan Bison Bash, a one-day educational meeting. Nik attended lectures on the outlook of the bison industry, food processing and bison veterinary medicine. Nine-year-old Nik is a junior member of the NBA and the first junior member of the Eastern Bison Association. And tomorrow, September 11, Nik is headed to the Capitol with other NBA members to meet with members of Congress, the Senate and the US Department of Agriculture.
Nik's mother, Cindy Burnsteel, is a division director at the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine. She says that through the NBA Nik has had many opportunities to visit bison herds and meet with the herd managers one on one. Nik has visited seven bison ranches, including five privately owned ranches and two public herds: Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake and Custer State Park bison. NBA members and the herd managers have treated him as an equal and answered any questions he had, she said. Nik hasn't met a bison producer who doesn't want to talk to him about bison. According to his mom, Nik says, "Eat bison!"
Principal Olsen says that Nik's learning, when combined with the work he does in the classroom, will prepare him to be college and career ready.
"His experiences before our country's legislators and USDA staff with NBA members will enrich his classmates' learning when he returns and tells them about the day," she adds. "We hope to track some of Nik's travel's on the FCPS Facebook and twitter feeds. Stay tuned!"

Warlords II is the sequel to the popular original game, Warlords. The game contains larger numbers of worlds, armies and enemies than its predecessor and includes features such as random world generation, hidden maps, new army types and more quests.
In Warlords II, a turn-based strategy/combat game, your ultimate objective is conquest through acquisition of lands. To accomplish this goal, you'll have to control all the cities in the game through strategies involving military might, economic and diplomatic decisions, recruitment of heroes, cultivation of allies, development of flying units and discovery of magical items by exploring ruins or going on quests.
The game contains a tutorial scenario and three difficulty levels, Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced. There are thirty different types of army units covering a wide range of diverse characteristics from giant spiders to undead forces. Each of the thirty has unique values in areas such as combat, movement, cost to build, time to build, cost to establish and bonuses. Scenarios come in varying lengths and up to seven additional humans or computer controlled players (at Knight, Lord or Warlord level) can participate. ~ Michael L. House, All Game Guide

USC's lone winter Olympian, alumni Jung-hwa Seo, had a rough start to her trip to Sochi and unfortunately it looks like she'll be leaving Russia empty handed.
The 24-year old South Korean finished 14th in her qualifying run Saturday, missing out on the medal round. The top ten from each round advance. With a time of 14.16, Seo ranked 24th overall.
Seo had been set to make her run in women's moguls on Friday, but she suffered a fall in training and had to be stretchered off the course. Fears that she had suffered a concussion were allayed and she was allowed to participate on Saturday.
On her first trip to the Olympics in Vancouver in 2010, Seo placed 22nd, just missing out on qualifying for the medal round then as well.
USC has had just four winter Olympians, including Seo, though the university boasts the most all-time Olympians among US universities with 420 participants since 1904. The Trojans dominate Olympic medal standings among US universities, owning the top spot for overall and gold medalists. Still, no Trojan has ever won a medal in the winter Olympics.

Chad Henne fakes the handoff and wants to throw a play-action pass. LB Garret McIntyre knocks Henne down in the process, enabling Bart Scott to make an interception.
McIntyre is going to rush off the right side (red).
Next, we'll overlay each player's route or responsibility.
- The Jags top/outside receiver (black) is going to run a fade.
- The tight end (black) will release off his block and run a corner route.
- Landry (blue) is man-t0-man with the tight end in the middle.
- The d-linemen will rush and try to collapse the pocket.
- David Harris (red) is blitzing, while Bart Scott (yellow) will spy on the QB.
- McIntyre (red) is going to blitz untouched at the bottom.
- Yeremiah Bell (blue) is on the goal line as the high safety.
It's starting to become a routine, but Cromartie locks down his man. Cro's man is Henne's 1st option, as he goes through his progressions.
If you look below, you'll see that the black arrow (1) is Henne's primary read.
Henne notices his 1st read is not open so he looks to his 2nd option (2. white arrow). By the time he goes through his progressions, McIntyre is ready to lay the hit.
McIntyre gets to Henne as he gets the ball off. What Henne fails to recognize is that Bart Scott's spying him from the middle.
Bart does a great job finding the ball in the air, and attacking it as it falls.
You can see better from this angle that Bart is the only player waiting on the ball.
Bart attacks the ball at it's highest point. He makes an excellent play here, and shuts up a few critics (at least for now).
I bet that Bart wanted to redeem himself after getting caught from behind by Matt Mulligan of the Rams a few games back. He gets a decent return that brings him out to about the 20 yard line. That's not too bad for Bart, considering he picked the pass off at the 7 yard line.
That's going to be all from The Jet Press, Inside the Jets vs. Jaguars Film Room: Defense.
As always, thanks for reading!
Please check back next week… where JETSerious will break down the Jets defensive effort on Monday Night in Tennessee.

There are number of Grand Canyon helicopter tour companies that service the West Rim and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. It's a fact that pretty much all of them offer the same flights. So, when evaluating them, I use the following to form my rankings:
- Customer Service
- Helicopter Fleet
- Quality of Experience
- Safety Record
- Logistics (shuttle transfers, seating, guide service)
- Price
By combining all these factors and looking at these companies unbiasedly, here are my top picks:
#1 Papillon Helicopters
Papillon Helicopters is the largest Grand Canyon air tour in operation today. The company's fleet of AStar and EcoStar 130 helicopters are state-of-the-art and ensure that you get the best ride possible. Papillon offers aerial and landing tours, and their selection is extensive, especially trips to the West Rim and the Grand Canyon Skywalk. Flights depart 7 days a week on the hour, including all major U.S. holidays. Papillon's is a volume business (the company flies more than 1/2 million visitors to the canyon), which results in incredibly low prices that must be purchased online in order to get the discount. In fact, their prices are so low that rarely will you find a competitor that can match them. Trips depart from the Las Vegas Strip and Boulder City, which is a suburb located about 20 minutes from Las Vegas. They get my #1 pick because you get great value and service for the money. Here's my Full Review
#2 Maverick Helicopters
Maverick Helicopters is your 5-star option. This company's customer service is impeccable and they operate the largest fleet of EcoStar 130′s, which feature 25 percent more cabin space, stadium style seats and a "panorama" windshield. If you're a person who pays more for excellence, fly with this company. Flights take off from the Las Vegas Strip and the Henderson Executive Air Terminal, which is a 10-minute ride down the Strip. The company also operates terminal at South Rim. Maverick's tours give you maximum airtime. This applies to both their aerial and landing tours. Unlike its competitors, nearly all Maverick flights go over the Vegas Strip. This is due to the location of its terminals. Their landing tours are creatively packaged and all-inclusive, with several packages going over the Valley of Fire! I particularly like their West Rim top/bottom landing trip. If you're looking for elite air tours, Maverick's the obvious choice. Here's my Full Review.
#3 Grand Canyon Helicopters
Grand Canyon Helicopters is my favorite "boutique" air tour company. This organization is small but nimble and is literally under the radar as travelers shop the Internet for a great deal. Like Maverick, Grand Canyon Helicopters uses the deluxe EcoStar 130 so don't expect dirt-cheap prices. What you can expect are high-quality, limited-edition aerial and landing tours that depart from Las Vegas, NV, and Grand Canyon, AZ. Grand Canyon's tour selection is limited to only the most popular packages, like landing at the bottom of the West Rim or at Grand Canyon West airport for a day at the top plus the Skywalk. They've got a great safety record and offer in-flight narrations translated in multiple languages. I use them as my backup when the helicopter tour I want is sold out, which is not uncommon from April to November. If you're looking for a personalized tour, Grand Canyon Helicopters is your option.
#4 Mustang Helicopters
Mustang Helicopters is another deluxe air tour company that flies only the EcoStar 130. The twist is that this organization is cheaper than it's elite air tour competitors. However, there's a catch: To get these awesome deals, you've got to take the early morning flight, which typically departs around 7 a.m. Is it worth it? Yes, especially if you want to save between $50-$100 per person! Mustang Helicopters flies exclusively out of the Henderson Executive Air Terminal (there have no South Rim flights), which is conveniently located just 10 minutes south down the Las Vegas Strip. As a budget 5-star helicopter company, their selection is focused on only the top West Rim trips, with their top-seller being the bottom-landing trip with Champagne picnic. If flying first class on a discount is important to you, go Mustang.
Need to Know
Here's some final tips you need to be aware of in order to get the perfect helicopter flight:
Book your tour at least a week ahead of time. Just like commercial airline flights, air tours also sell out, especially at the last minute. If you decide to purchase your trip at the destination or last minute, you can expect to pay more.
Las Vegas travelers should go with the air tour if they are short on time or have limited funds. If you can afford it, always take a landing tour as these packages combine the best of air and land into an experience you'll never forget.
If you can afford it, Vegas travelers should always go with a landing tour. These trips combine the best of both worlds and deliver and unforgettable experience.
If you are set on doing the Grand Canyon Skywalk, always buy a tour that includes it as it's cheaper that buying tickets at the destination
South Rim travelers should always opt for flights with extended air time up to 50 minutes. The 30 minute flights are awesome but they'll seem short.
South Rim flights are banned from flying below the rim and landing on the bottom.
At the risk of repeating myself, here goes: Do yourself a favor and purchase you helicopter tour on the Internet. That's where the best rates are. That said, in order to get that Interent discount, you must complete the entire transaction online. Follow just that one piece of advice and you'll net big savings..

Pros: Looked very Nice
Cons: Crashes or Freezes
Describe Yourself: Quality Oriented
It could be because it was installed with KidPix 4 on the same machine, but 4 worked very well, 3 crashed 20 seconds after we started to use it. Had to uninstall it. Maybe I should troubleshoot, but didn't bother. The only good thing about 3 (before it crashed) was it DID resize the computer resolution to fit the screen (unlike ver 4 which does not)
