Hey. Things are a bit slow. Sorry for cancelling my show in Falun, I think it’s the first show I’ve ever cancelled. I had my reasons… Anyway. Just found a nice review of my gig at En Festival i 8 Bitar a while ago: “The seventh artist, GoTo80, the biggest artist of the evening, was probably the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. The only attention I could give him was an irritating look and hands over my ears. The guy was only screaming a lot and gave me a headache. The fact that his name was so big mostly just made me upset. I definitely wanted to go home when he started playing. Luckily, he was the last artist of the evening. Score: 0 of 10″ / Jenny

Photo of HT Gold exhibited at the central square of Copenhagen as part of re:new. It’s mega-modified game, running straight from C64. Sorry for disturbing your otherwise standard sunny afternoon of coffee, pölse, and “true indian music” - but the datatrash cannot be stopped! More photos here and here. And by the way, there is some pretty square theoretical chip-art stuff over at chipflip nowadays. Don’t miss out!

If you are in Copenhagen on Saturday, you’ll have the chance to see a hardcore piece of c64 datatrash in 4 by 8 metres, made by Autoboy+me. It’s a game with improved functionality and less competition. It’s not yer usual random-glitch, but the game is still very playable although physics, graphics, sound effects, music, steering, scores, etc, are constantly changed. I am not sure where it will be shown in megasize, but there’ll probably be information over at microgalleriet where it will be for 1,5 week more.

Busy bikini!

Shojo No Tomo, Entter and me did this great web game called Porno Invaders shown at the Beames Gallery in Tokyo.

Audiovisual datajam at gallery Big Love (rip) on Hisingen Island. It was me, Dino, Yoki, Booger, Mortimer Twang and Optiroc = top notch Hack n’ Trade Up Rough data elite. So we did assembler programming, PETSCII-stuff, Deluxe Paint animations, Protracking, LSDJing, JCHing, etc. Maybe we’ll get videos online some day, here’s two photos while you’re waiting. Oh, and yes - we destroyed so much that evening. It was beautiful.

This is a net.art project by Entter about the virtualization of immigrants. It’s not politically correct. It’s a game. It’s great. It’s got an important point. And sometime in the future it will be finished. I did the music. Eat-rabbit did the sound effects. Check it out!

My C64-cover of Superman by The Pinks was used in Entter’s net.art Happy Days. Check it, boys and girls!
