A postcard finally sent

It's a tough job to keep up with the logistics while finishing a diploma project, I've realized. Today I found this postcard, supposed to be sent months ago. It's a snapshot from my light + H₂O-lab video session in the beginning of march 2011. Even though it's not so long ago, it actually feels like ages. There has been a lot of water under the table since, so to say.

Those dark winter days and nights in and around the workshop/mock-up space at the school was sure challenging, demanding both discipline and play, physical strenght and mental clairvoyance. Looking back on it now, I think that's where the foundation of my diploma project was solidified, and it sure was a substantial platform of raw concrete to both build upon, but also an anchor to hold on to while going through storms.

However, right now the same very models are actually back in the mock-up space, after a few months of drifting around in the schoool, waiting to be exhibited in the exhibition space nearby in a few days.

I'm looking forward to catch up with you people at the SPS soon again. I DO want to sit around a table with you before the world goes bananas.

Best Regards,
Jakob

South Pole Silence

Dear friends, family, rss-feeders and googlers of The South Pole Station,

The collaborators of South Pole Station is currently deeply engaged in projects outside of the SPS-realm. However, we will be back in the south on the other side of the summer solstice. In the meantime, please enjoy our link collection on your right hand side (after scroling down a bit) or check out the video clip below, a portait of Mark Allen and the inspiring Machine Project.

ECOSISTEMA ENCARCELARE #1

I suggest this as a kind of a theme.
It's not very original, but I think it could lead us to some kind of understanding
of the easthetics in the
clash between artificial and biological.
...as for the baloons etc.
In this photo the urb and the always popping up ecosystem that
lies beneath.

Kaledioskop.
d a video säger (22:42):
Informationen (mönstret som går att urskilja genom reflektionen mellan de färgade glasbitarna och speglarna) förändras varje gång du skakar (ryster) kaleidoskopet. Detta trots att beståndsdelarna ständigt är detsamma."
d a video säger (22:56):
förutom kalekdoskop fascineras jag av (1) TIDEN, (2) RYMDEN, (3) DJUR
d a video säger (22:56):
med djur menas också människokroppar och den EGNA KROPPEN
