nobnest zed, 2002
Wallpaper for the journal nest, variable. Publisher: nest, New York. Printer: Coral Graphics Services, Hicksville, NY. Edition: mass produced.
Paul Noble, British, born 1963
This wallpaper depicts a fantasy city Noble calls Nobson Newtown. While his investigations of this subject usually take the form of monumental drawings, this version creates an even more all-encompassing impact. Noble envisioned his wallpaper filling the walls of a bedroom, evoking both dreams and nightmares.
Paul Noble's nobnest zed was on display in the special exhibition, Multiplex: Directions in Art, 1970 to Now from November 21, 2007
IChiOne is the longest running drum & bass event with its roots n Amsterdam soil and has been building up a loyal international & national fan base over the last decade. IChiOne is One of the unique pillars of the drum and bass scene, known for its strong ethos, but also for its open mindedness and experimental programming.
Many artists have made their first Amsterdam appearance during IChiOne. Take, for example artists, including Breakage, Ben UFO, Instra: mental, Ramadanman and Shackleton and an abundance of other artists.
Saturday, May the 24th, 2014 IChiOne touches down at Toren to celebrate its 10 year anniversary. Lovers of deep bass and complex rhythms heed the call for this 10th year anniversary, as IChiOne programmed an amazing line up.
This is also the penultimate Saturday in the existence of Toren , the Amsterdam underground club of the moment, will be closing its doors for good the 1st of june .
IChiOne parties are blessed with its tranquil atmosphere and amazingly welcoming, yet earthy hospitality, so feel welcome to be a part of this once in a lifetime experience.
Although IChiOne prefers the underground and resides in the shadows, during this event IChiOne will make the night as bright as day.
IChiOne shines like the sun.

We had a trip to Prague in January – for Jayne’s birthday - we don’t buy Christmas or birthday presents, we travel instead. We left snowy England for a very, very dull and grey Czech Republic. Yet again I was on a photographic downer looking at the weather forecast, grey is the colour that haunts me. Fortunately it was dull grey and not burnt highlight inducing bright grey.With the grey sky acting like a big diffuser I was going to have deep shadow and contrast to deal with. We had three very short spells of broken cloud which gave us a bit of sun and colour, which I managed to more or less anticipate so we managed to be in decent locations every time – generally somewhere high.
We had been upgraded to a five star hotel, apparently our original choice was flooded. We got compensation and five star hotel upgrade– a first for me. The Art Nouveau Palace has a beautiful interior, with beautiful rooms, the breakfast room was fantastic, as was the breakfast it has to be said. We were able to have an early breakfast so were out on foot just after eight. It was very cold – and dull! We spent the whole week well wrapped up. It drizzled for a day, but never really wet us, it snowed for a day, again we didn’t get wet and the snow didn’t settle. We walked 65 mile, spending plenty of time checking buildings and their interiors out – and coffee shop and bar interiors it has to be said. Although it was dull and sometimes wet I decided that the Camera was staying in my hands for the whole trip. Whenever I put it in my backpack for one reason or another I regret it.
Again, I didn’t look at any photographs of Prague before we got there, I like to just walk and discover, with the DK guidebook in my pocket (which is full of photos it has to be said). We like to get off the beaten track and see the grittier side of the places we visit – within reason! Prague has an incredible tram network, over 1000 trams – with many of them Tatra Eastern Bloc machines. The system seems chaotic but in reality it is incredible with one of the largest networks and highest usages in the world. The trams and cars frequently share the same road space with very little in the way of drama, none of the inexplicable and pathetic constant horn blowing one finds in many countries. Once it became apparent that buildings with a grey blanket as a background were going to be a bit un-inspirational I decided that the trams would be a good focal point instead. Where I have photographed one of the older trams against a background without clues it is easy to imagine that the photos were taken fifty years ago.
The train network also provided photo opportunities. The rolling stock ranges from old Eastern Bloc to very modern double decker’s and pendolinos. There are three stations although we visited the main station and Smichov. The main station interior is art deco and has been renovated by a private company. The exterior and the platforms are very rundown with a grim eastern bloc 1950’s feel –but it works! We discovered to our amusement that we could just walk across multiple lines, no health and safety, just keep your eyes open and don’t walk under a train – you’ll make a mess. Smichov station was grim, it didn’t help that it snowed all day and was grey and bitter. We felt like we were in a 50’s film set in Russia, broken concrete platforms and dereliction. With both stations there was another world underneath them. The underground Metro is running seamlessly and efficiently away beneath your feet. I didn’t have any problems taking photos anywhere but I was very open and obviously a tourist, I didn’t act covertly or suspiciously. There was only one occasion I was stopped and that was in a shopping centre – full of CCTV cameras filming everyone else!
We discovered old and beautiful- and very large- shopping centres hidden away in quite a few places. Brass framed windows and doors, shops thriving, there was a massive camera shop with thousands of second hand cameras, too much to look at. Many of the landmark buildings prevent photography, some make a small charge, some encourage it, the DK guide book gives a good indication regarding camera use. Nothing stops many people though, they just shoot away regardless, usually wanting a picture that includes their self. Prague is surrounded by low hills and has a fair few towers that you can pay a few pounds to go up, so viewpoints are plentiful. I think we visited most of them. I read about the Zizkov Tower, which looks like a Soviet rocket on the horizon and we headed straight for it - after crossing the rail lines! Set in a quiet residential area, there wasn’t a soul about. Two beautiful girls on reception and we parted with a few pounds, into the lift and were on the observation deck with no one else up there. There are fantastic views over the city, but! It is through two layers of not very clean glass so you go for the view rather than sharp panoramas. Still a fascinating place, with a nice café bar and very clean toilets – there are toilets everywhere, usually manned with a fee. Places are well staffed compared with home were three students are supposed to run a 20 screen multiplex cinema.
Graffiti was prominent, no matter how grand the monument, some moron would have daubed it. How do they get away with it in a 24 hour city centre with a strong police presence? The place is very clean, constantly being swept. What did surprise me, was that many buildings, that looked grand and built of stone, from a distance, were actually rendered with very low quality brickwork concealed. When restored the building look very impressive, others are missing the outer render from ground level to a fair height.
I need to cut this short really, I like to put a background story to the photos and although it would be better to individualise it to a specific photo or group of photos I don’t have the time to do that. I do try to give specific detail in the title bar after I have uploaded, this is time consuming enough although I’m pretty proficient at it by now. There are many things I would like to write that should be of interest to anyone thinking of going to Prague but I’ll have to let the pictures do the talking. As usual I am unlikely to be selective enough with my uploads, I’m not very good at leaving photos out so I just upload and be damned.

Does anyone have any ideas what this model may represent?

Many artists have made their first Amsterdam appearance during IChiOne. Take, for example artists, including Breakage, Ben UFO, Instra: mental, Ramadanman and Shackleton and an abundance of other artists.
Saturday, May the 24th, 2014 IChiOne touches down at Toren to celebrate its 10 year anniversary. Lovers of deep bass and complex rhythms heed the call for this 10th year anniversary, as IChiOne programmed an amazing line up.
This is also the penultimate Saturday in the existence of Toren , the Amsterdam underground club of the moment, will be closing its doors for good the 1st of june .
IChiOne parties are blessed with its tranquil atmosphere and amazingly welcoming, yet earthy hospitality, so feel welcome to be a part of this once in a lifetime experience.
Although IChiOne prefers the underground and resides in the shadows, during this event IChiOne will make the night as bright as day.
IChiOne shines like the sun.

Though Visakahapatnam is as humid as it gets in summer, the humidity factor for one, apart from the lack of malls, multiplexes, flyovers and similar symbols of modern infrastructure cannot be stressed enough for a Vizagite.
I distinctly remember the discomfiture dad causes me when he half-closes the door to the balcony, leaving it at a 45 degree angle instead of the usual 90 degree, totally open door. Dad's of the opinion that a half-closed door is better than a completely open one especially in summers, as it leaves less space for the breeze making the inflow faster. It'll cut the wind, he says. Pressure * velocity funda, I think. Except that it used to irritate the sweating me. I for one, have always preferred either an open or a closed door. Not the 45 degree stance. My sister didn't believe in the half closed door either.
But I was in for a shock. When I was helplessly fanning away humidity with a book, drenched in sweat, sister walked in and half-closed the open door to my balcony. Obviously psyched, I asked her what she thought she was doing. And lo! She repeats the same sentences - It'll cut the wind, and walks off.
Going home is like going to a film without reading the review. Sometimes it's lively, sometimes its boring, and sometimes the wind cuts in, flipping along with it soft brown pages of an old novel.
To home, to the Vizag trip ahead, to Discovery Channel, Gongura mutton, Vadiyalu, beach road, black and white Gult films and to sipping hot coffee in the third floor balcony after a lazy afternoon nap, looking at the sun set behind Kailasagiri, into the Bay of Bengal.

material: steel and multiplex
constituent: CBK, Groningen
design: Ward Huting & Gerard de Hoop (Huting & de Hoop)
In architecture, a folly is a building constructed strictly as a decoration, having none of the usual purposes of housing or sheltering associated with a conventional structure. So it was Ward Huting & Gerard de Hoop, of Huting & de Hoop, commissioned mission to build a modern folly for a modern park for the Noorderzon Festival in the Netherlands.
"Although this folly, like other true follies, does not have a particular function, it does have a use. Whether you wish to sit on it or climb on it, we advise you to come and discover the possibilities of this unique construction, and allow your imagination to be carried off."
