SI audio podcast #2: Girilal Baars. August 06, 2016 09:46. My pal Girilal stopped by Helsinki last month and we recorded this conversation, which touched on science fiction, improvisation, being an audience member, and lots more. This is also an attempt to keep the SI podcast feed alive with some occasional content, as enough interesting people pass through my life that I should try to share their ideas with a larger audience. Temporary/Biathlon presentation in Riga 27.7.2016. July 26, 2016 08:47.

A conversation with Joybubbles', reposted. Posted: January 20, 2012 00:53. Today BoingBoing ran a nice post about Joybubbles, and the history of phone phreaking. Rather than reBlog it, I though Id save my old interview from Internet oblivion. Named after the Wire song, but also a strange and awkward little phrase we liked). Somehow the zine made its way to an enthusiastic librarian somewhere who nominated it for Jen Angels. Anyway, I have reposted the article here. November 07, 2014. John W. Fail CV.

Travelling (report/upcoming): Sheffield, Athens, and Sofia. Posted: April 22, 2014 00:05.

And against my better judgement I shared it on Facebook. What resulted was not surprising - a plethora of ‘likes’ from friends, and it was shared by about ten other people to wider audiences. Even more disappointing is that in the Eesti kunstielu arengusuunad. I don’t want to turn this into an “Us vs. Them” situation as ...And I was completel...

An open letter to the new Culture Minister in Estonia. Posted: December 09, 2013 20:19. Dear Urve Tiidus,. Congratulations on your appointment as the new Culture Minister of Estonia.

The relationship between culture and business is a tricky one. Artists and other culture producers often look to private industry to...
