New art thread for 2024 starts here! This is a mostly daily thread with a different artist featured in each post, primarily modern and contemporary stuff since that's my thing.
Works by Japanese Fluxus artist Takako Saito, 1970s-2010s, known for her interactive sculptural objects and themed chess sets - including this noisemaking chess set for John Cage.
🎸 "Ich brauch deinen Schutz, und möcht dich beschützen/Ich hab dich nötig/Will dich nicht benützen“ - Das Kulturzentrum „die börse“ in Wuppertal ist eine Wiege der westdeutschen Punkszene. Zum 50. Jubiläum des Orts gastierten die Fehlfarben. https://taz.de/!5974723/
"Gottseidank nicht in England (...) Die Aufbruchsstimmung der späten 1970er bis heute zu bewahren ist der Stadt #Wuppertal vielleicht nicht in jederlei Hinsicht gelungen. " #Fehlfarben#Punk#Fluxus
“GnuCash […] is designed to be extensible by end users. The unfortunate part is that the extension language is Scheme […] Scheme looks like Lisp but isn't really Lisp; the number of people who know it well is sure to be small.” https://lwn.net/Articles/925782/
@ArneBab@civodul yeah I agree, scheme DSLs in particular can be picked up in a day. I remember trying #fluxus live coding system back in 2007 and I didn't even know it was scheme and was able to start making stuff with it immediately. Or how with emacs "figuring out the language" was never a barrier to customization before I got interested in lisp.
