OPEN URBANISM: May 2015
http://openurbanism.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Adventures in tech, electronics, programming, cartography, geology, data, and augmented realities. Tuesday, 12 May 2015. The Ridiculous Handrail and other oblique functions. I’ve got a big backlog of writing to push out here, but I wanted to start off with a story of a curious handrail I saw at the National University of Singapore (my alma mater) when I was back there in March. Who on earth made this handrail, or ordered its installation here? Too bad for the people at the bottom of the stairs). I suppos...

OPEN URBANISM: October 2014
http://openurbanism.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Adventures in tech, electronics, programming, cartography, geology, data, and augmented realities. Thursday, 30 October 2014. But what does ‘quality’ really mean? How does one begin to quantify the ‘quality’ of an image? How does it affect our appreciation of the image, or original subject of the image? And what does quality mean when we apply it to life itself? What do people mean when they speak of “quality of life”? Posted by debbie ding. Along the way out there was this lovely signage with a white pe...

Adventures in tech, electronics, programming, cartography, geology, data, and augmented realities. Sunday, 30 March 2014. Covers for Imaginary Novels: "New Horizon". Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER MH370 which has been missing since 8 March 2014. Still from Frank Capra's "Lost Horizon" (1937).

OPEN URBANISM: The Spherification of Edible Liquids for Impatient People
http://openurbanism.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-spherification-of-edible-liquids.html
Adventures in tech, electronics, programming, cartography, geology, data, and augmented realities. Tuesday, 17 February 2015. The Spherification of Edible Liquids for Impatient People. After a few hits and misses doing spherification experiments over the last few years for fun, here is a collation of some personal observations or lessons learnt about spherification that people don't generally seem to explain properly in all the other recipes or online posts about spherification.

OPEN URBANISM: May 2014
http://openurbanism.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Adventures in tech, electronics, programming, cartography, geology, data, and augmented realities. Thursday, 22 May 2014. The Launch of the NewBiologist. My main goal in the production of these images has been to produce something which has the unreal sheen of something computer-generated, have a high degree of photorealism, but be obviously handdrawn when observed close up. The entire image was digitally painted in Photoshop and is not a photograph. In an exploration of long-form creative non-fiction st...

Fragmentary responses to the inaugural Singapore Triennale: OKA! OKA! OKA! | STURM & KRANG
https://sturmundkrang.wordpress.com/2011/03/14/singapore-biennale-2011-01
Fragmentary responses to the inaugural Singapore Triennale: OKA! March 14, 2011. Here we are now at that fragile liminal space between hangover recovery and actually having a long, sober look at the Biennale. That’s not to say that nothing can be said, though. Tentage, White, Official, incl. Chairs, Plastic. Infrastructure aside, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ms Junita Simon for helpfully including a definition of ‘Biennale’ in her opening remarks. Merges perfectly with its assigned room...

Standing at the Crossroads of Nowhen and Neverwhere. March 11, 2011. Once, it was the province of Fascism to aestheticise politics, and the province of the radical left to politicise aesthetics; but as all melts into air, these simple distinctions have long since ceased to apply. Naturally, a decay of sorts. Comes into play in observing the methods and mechanics of the 20th century. In Iwan Wijono’s performance for. By placing his actions and movements in the context of the.

Fragmentary responses to the third Singapore Biennale: Ptang Zoo Boing | STURM & KRANG
https://sturmundkrang.wordpress.com/2011/03/15/singapore-biennale-2011-02
Fragmentary responses to the third Singapore Biennale: Ptang Zoo Boing. March 15, 2011. SAM: Sausage Hotel and various things. So I finally got to see the artwork that’s been haunting billboards in the city, which I had (erroneously) taken to be LASALLE adverts – an excerpt of Candice Breitz’s. Considering the layout of the Singapore Art Museum and 8Q, it seems somehow aberrant to jump straight to a sliver of. Because I forgot to take pictures. Instead, here is a picture of delicious sausage. Seems oddly...
