documenta 12 - academic

Sun, 02 Dec 2007 18:07:00 +0000

This is something I wanted to post long ago. Below is the entrance of Wilhelmvs Museum, one of the four main venues where documenta 12 took place.

At the time of the exhibition, it was really refreshing to see several students of drawing at the job, in front of ancient Greek sculptures. Pics below are dedicated to all Greek New Media curators, they should know why...

COWS Theatre

Wed, 25 Apr 2007 21:09:00 +0000

The play COWS by Maria Tranou is performed by DEAD CADINSKY in May, at the Theatre of Neos Kosmos, Athens.

The cows were running about all over the place at all times, so, to make locating them a bit easier I made their site www.cows.gr and their MySpace profile so you can pin them down.

ArtAZ: the meeting point for Greek art

Tue, 24 Apr 2007 10:53:00 +0000

ArtAZ, is Greece’s new art hot spot - a website dedicated to Greek artists and the art world in general.
Acting as an artists’ database and at the same time as a virtual active art space, artAZ is to become the meeting point of Greek art aficionados. Inside artAZ visitors can check out an ever growing number of artists’ portfolios, on line exhibitions, art news from Greece and around the world and also buy artwork and enjoy many exclusives, such as the artwork presented in the “Editions” area, especially created for the website’s audience, available at special prices. In addition, every month artAZ features a guest artist form the international art scene, presenting his work and also an artAZ commissioned work of art (The German surrealist Heiko Muller inaugurated the guest list, followed by British artistic duo Zoe Walker & Neil Bromwich).
The people behind artAZ are artist team Alexandra Kollaros and Aggelos Agiostratitis - they created the website in order to make up for the lack of a thorough Greek on line art space.

ArtAZ aims to promote Greek art in Greece and abroad and make it more accessible to the broader audience.
For further information on artAZ please contact: info@artaz.gr

This is located on the border between Limassol and Pafos. Cyprus is famous for the birth place of the goddess Aphrodite, venus in Greek mythology. She is known as the Ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty. Legend says that she emerged from the sea at that point in a surge of sea foam.

Mac Book Pro 17"

Mon, 25 Dec 2006 13:01:00 +0000

X'mas today and I am in bed with fever, so I decided to spend some time posting.

Finally, I bought this Apple Mac Book Pro 17". Great machine.
Already installed Windows XP using Parallels to see it's performance.
By now, I can't say Windows XP can perfom like they do on a PC, but it is still too early for a conclusion, since I am am only using this machine for two days. Using Parallels, Windows operate within Mac OS X, unlike Apple's Boot Camp which can take all of the machine's advantages.

Also, the machine gets very hot after some hours of operation. Dimitris Scoufis said that this is an Intel Core 2 Duo issue which is normal.

I will keep posting on this issue, so you will get more information on Mac Book Pros.
