This is Pixie Pinker.
She is always the life of the party. Even when you didn't ask her to be.
She's from a monstrous-looking, furred race. They have enormous eyes. They are omnivores. They are famous for producing negotiators. They have only one child at a time making Pixie Pinker a rare breed indeed. Their government is a technocracy that is entirely dysfunctional. They were once a dead people - what brought them back to life is a matter of speculation. Their world of origin is icy and is known for being an excellent place to observe astronomical phenomena.
She is approximately 5" tall and made of fuschia felt with pink accents. Pixie Pinker rocks a super duty light gray felt back with the number 5 (She is my 5th Plushie ever made.)
Shee is stuffed full with Poly-fil. Which makes her very huggable.
Pixie Pinker is a combination of hand sewn and machine sewn stitches. And she comes shipped to you in a sealed UltraPunch package.
I decided to take this illustration of mine from the last year and edit it so I could end up with a conceptual poster, since lately I’ve wanted to practice the use of typography and the composition.
Technocracy has many meanings, one of them is that the machines control our behavior, for example: the fact that we stop when there’s a red light and we continue with the green.
The base was made with pencils and then digital color as usual.

How many human bodies can fit inside a digital image of a body, or the recording of its voice? What is the scalar relation between digital data and the material of the world we inhabit? This project aims to performatively explore the absurd extremes of scalar difference we encounter every day as contemporary citizens of technocracy.
How many people can fit in a terabyte? How many carbon nano-fibres does it take to weave my underwear? As the quantities and volumes we encounter reach ever further to the extremes of size and smallness the old notion of human scale appears to obsolesce. Yet the Human scale is our standard of all human meaning, and this hasn't changed yet, or has it?

En 1974 el físico matemático Roger Penrose introdujo nuevas formas de rellenar superficies a partir de la yuxtaposición de piezas geométricas sencillas. Años después, estos entramados fueron descubiertos en la naturaleza, como un resultado más de procesos naturales de formación de sólidos. Estas estructuras no cumplían las condiciones geométricas intuitivas para ser llamadas cristales, pero la similaridad de sus propiedades con aquellos les proporcionó su nombre entre los científicos: cuasicristales.
El complejo proceso de construcción europea nos remite a un concepto similar, una suerte de cuasi-Europa, una entidad cuyo perfil todos intuimos pese a que sus propiedades, formalizadas por un grupo de autoproclamados expertos, son desconocidas para la gran mayoría.

Every day this last week the frontpages of the most powerful international media have refered to the role that universes and tools such as Twitter, Facebook and Youtube are apparently playing in relation to the conflict in Iran. New systems with inapprehensible effects whose capacity to capture attention takes the place of analysis and actions on the other older problems that are still, though, with no solution.
When an event is recounted and highlighted as an excuse to talk about other issues of a constitutive or structural order, the expansion of the game in the fantasy of the news item has occured. To this desployment we dedicate this week a game of simulation which may permit to explore the inherent complexity of the new systems of information diffusion.

Mario Monti the 69 year old Italian economist and current caretaker Prime Minister of Italy will run for the premiership as leader of a centrist alliance in the next Italian general election. In an article by Vito Laterza published on Aljazeera titled ‘Technocracy's new bet: Mario Monti runs for premiership’.Vito states “His entry into the political arena will provoke major re-alignments in strategies, programmes and personnel in the centre-right and centre-left coalitions. His ambitious agenda of reforms will strongly influence the policies of the next government. …The rationale of Monti's proposals is not so different from Cameron's austerity programme in the UK: free up the market, reduce the weight of government and let the economy adjust itself. But the prospects for the global economy, especially the eurozone, look grim. European economies will grow slowly, if at all, for many years to come. Italy has struggled with low growth rates for the last two decades. …There is also a major difference with Britain. Italian workers receive very low salaries compared to most of their European counterparts. Further liberalisation without a comparable rebalancing of social protection would effectively mean a low-cost economy driven by cheap labour, reduced quality and quantity of social services and rising socio-economic inequalities. For both these reasons, the continuation of the technocratic agenda by political means is unlikely to result in anything more than a face-lift. … keeping confidence in the Italian government artificially high and interest rates on Italian bonds low. But for how long? Monti is aware that his decision to enter frontline politics "carries many risks and a high probability of failure". If he does fail, how bad will the next collapse in international credibility hit Italy and its people?” Inspired by Vito Laterza, Aljazeera ow.ly/gKkTU Image source Twitter ow.ly/gKlaQ
This is Murray.
He enjoys dry British humor and fruit roll ups.
He's from a monstrous-looking, furred race. They have enormous eyes. They move by dragging themselves along the ground. They are omnivores. They are famous for producing negotiators. They have only one child at a time making Murray a rare breed indeed. Their government is a technocracy that is entirely dysfunctional. They were once a dead people - what brought them back to life is a matter of speculation. Their world of origin is icy and is known for being an excellent place to observe astronomical phenomena.
He is approximately 5" tall and made of orange felt with blue felt accents. Two fuzzy white hearts on his stomach show off that he is a maker of love and that his abs need something else for you to pay attention to. Murray kicks a super duty light gray felt back.
He is stuffed full with Poly-fil. Which makes him very huggable.

So my job sent me to an SEO conference this morning at the Back Bay Hilton; I started to feel completely out of place about thirty seconds after I got here, when I could not figure out how to use the silver, filigreed coffee decanter. It's gonna be a long day.
(ED: It was! But then Google sponsored an open bar, and hired someone who looked exactly like Keri Russell to chat me up and suggest that I refresh my ultra-strong gin and tonics whenever I sucked another one down, which means two things: First, that sometimes I feel irreconcilably like Chuck Klosterman; Second, if Google ever overthrows the government and establishes an iron-fisted technocracy over the land, I am absolutely alright with that.)
