"Today the most important things want to remain invisible. Love is invisible. War is invisible. Capital is invisible."

Hans Eijelkelboom

People of the Twenty-First Century:



"Yesterday is the same as a thousand years ago. People are looking for ways to have an identity, to find the answer to the question: are you a product of the culture you live in or are you something really of yourself? That’s a general human thing. And in many ways I believe more and more that we are products of our culture – it’s naïve to think that you are really an individual. But of course a lot of consumer society sells this idea. When you look at advertising it’s always the same, they try to tell you that you’re an individual and you need some stuff to describe that individuality, but what they don’t tell you is that ten thousand others buy the same stuff to describe their individuality."

about: "Lonely Samurai is a podcast of topical conversations produced by artist Anicka Yi.

Kristin Lucas- "Augmented reality yard sale"




"Since the objects at this yard sale are not old treasures from the attic, but rather digitally rendered products of Augmented Reality (AG), the artist first sources ideas for virtual yard sale items, sending a call for proposals by Austin digital artists, game designers, and 3-D model makers.
Once virtual goods are created, New York-based artist Kristin Lucas invites Austin residents to the augmented reality yard sale. Shoppers can see the virtual yard sale items on their iPhones and Androids using a free phone app called Layar Augmented Reality. The app renders virtual items visible much like a lens: as the phone passes by each objects’ “physical location” – a programmed longitudinal/latitudinal location – the object shows up on the screen. As in a physical yard sale, visitors discover items as they wander through a physical space, and explore beyond the surface layer. However, in this sale the tchotchkes, furniture, and hidden garage-sale treasures, never fully materialize. The items for sale are virtual and are only ever visible through the use of our phones.
Once a bargain hunter finds an object they want – according to the artist, the objects are “priced to move!” – the customer purchases it from Lucas, who personally oversees the much like a homeowner would. In exchange for cold, hard cash, Lucas agrees to “relocate” the virtual object to a buyer’s home using geo-location technology.  Purchased objects then take up residence with their new owner. Once moved, items inhabit the space, and, like invited ghosts, are both there and not there in perpetuity."
