my favorite album of the year so far comes from the los angeles based duo High Places and is called High Places vs. Mankind. i saw their live show in cologne some days ago and was amazed by their new record. my personal album of the summer.

after an (in many ways) intense week i am now sitting alone in the studio. a good opportunity to listen to the new Four Tet album and write down some thoughts.

my dear friend Lorin told me about the event called Stilvorlagen they are organizing in Hamburg. Stilvorlagen is featuring some nice speakers such as Nicolas Bourquin from OnLab, Atak and Anschlaege. if you are in Hamburg make sure to be there.
and Lorin, i want one of these bags in reward— ;-)

i know the work of Dieter Rams has been all over the web in the past weeks and months. anyhow, in the past week i have been taking a deeper look into his work for Braun and Vitsœ and also into his design-theory which i think is quite remarkable and seems to be more relevant today then ever before. awe inspiring.

olafur eliasson without a doubt is one of my top 3 when it comes to contemporary art. his scientific, research based yet playful and aesthetic approach simply amazes me. i am looking forward to his first solo exhibition in Berlin named “Innen Stadt Außen” opening on the 28th april at Martin Gropius Bau. one of my favorite museums in town.
shown above is a part of his solo exhibition “Olafur Eliasson: Your chance encounter” at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa which is still running till 22 March 2010.

electricgecko is run by Malte Müller, an all round super nice guy based in hamburg. he creates websites, designs interfaces and writes code.
»I like typography, hysterical music and radical constructivism. I’m also a firm believer in postmodernism and minimalistic approaches« Malte states on his site.
no suprise Malte and me became friends. he was kind enough to provide me with the coding for HelloYou. make sure to also check out his tumblr.
