penis+

nike_penis_run1

san fransisco runner claire wyckoff has put the nike+ app to some rather unusual use… ‘draw running’ penises and other quirky things

also amusing to note is that prudish american media reported the story too; but didn’t show the relevant pictures

for some bizarre reason several of my regular readers sent me this story, what do people think of me i wonder….

mostly of myself

roberto_foddai1

I will try not to use pretentious art lingo to describe my work.
I take pictures of people and mostly of myself.
I do it for different reasons.
1. I like to be other people as I am often bored of myself.
2. It is easier to be boring in my daily life and dressing up in photographs fills the need I often have to be different.
3. I think, as Feminist and writer Carol Hanish said “The Personal is Political” so it is me in the pictures but they are often a political statement and maybe not as personal as they look.

it sounds green

a fun new app called roy g biv …allows those of us unblessed with synesthesia to get a taste of what colours sound like. It’s a pretty simple idea: just point your iphone or android camera at an object to hear the app play a sound. you can even add your own sound effects (including a pretty disturbing one of a barking dog)…
