ZEIT: “How long will it take until the Germans have a good sense of humor again?” – Harry Rowohlt: “Only once all the Russian Jews in Berlin have learned to speak German.” [Interview with Harry Rowohlt in ZEIT / No.13, March 23, 2005] The Jewish Museum in Frankfurt on the Main is putting up an exhibition about Jewish Russian immigration to the Federal Republic from the 12th of March to the 25th of July called Ausgerechnet Deutschland (trns: Germany of all places). The exhibition is funded by the German government and is to touch upon the subject matter that the...

Awesomesauce: National Geographic World Music “This video, for the single “Sovietoblaster,” with its breakdancing cossacks, sexy cosmonauts, mustachioed contract killers and South Park-meets-Nintendo 64 animation captures the RotFront vibe perfectly.”

So if you haven’t noticed yet, which I’m sure many of you haven’t because you’re all decent, self respecting individuals… Alexis launched a new line of phenomenally helpful beooty tips to help women, girl, and gurlz fit in and live up to todays standards!

It’s crucial. You should watch it. –Science isn’t about finding answers it’s about discovering questions.

Just finished this music video for the song Sovietoblaster (by Rotfront). Tons of fun! You know all that nostalgia anyone from the east (Balkans especially… I should) suffers from? Yeah, imagine all that madness packed into one hell of a crazy music video. The idea was to take everything that makes pop-culture what it is, mix it with the same humor-inspired spirit that drives the internet, with imagery from the soviet/socialist era… The music is totally similar. You’re talking about a new movement that’s taking the crazy old classic tunes from the east and transforming them into a new genre...

Ladies, gentlemen, gentlemen pretending to be ladies, and ladies who think they’re gentlemen pretending to be ladies disguised as gentlemen! I just published a comic and think you should buy it. Right now. Really. It’s a collection of cyber-pop-art paying tribute to all the visual memes loved by the web generation, mixed with a story that’s a tripped out roller-coaster tour of net humor spawned by the random cultures that populate the digital realm, and a ton of ideas I noted down while drunk! …That was a mouth-full. Sorry. Here’s the cover art: And here’s the link you can click...

…Random screenshot from something I’m working on. As you were! “Theory is useless unless you can properly implement it. I hate discussing theoretical languages. I love discussing interesting implementations.”

AlienMelon’s new game site committed to brining entertaining video games to the general public. We use a unique system to create our games, like no other. Abducting people from their homes, and splashing them with cat blood. Tetrageddon is a collection of non-comercial “Pop Games”. Our philosophy is to explore the gaming medium in an artistic sense, approaching it as a tool in the same manner as a canvas and brush are tools. Interactivity is a new and virtually unexplored medium, and in the light of the cyber art revolution, where everything is virtual and nothing is real, we find...

Working on a new site, but while no one cares here’s a mini-game I just finished. It’s in memory of that old arcade classic from the 1980’s. You know, Defender? Well, how do you think the Aliens felt about it? Sponsored by the Intergalctic Foundation for Non-Anthropomorphic Rights, Offender is a game made from the alien’s point of view. Note: As a result of the Great Invation of 2080, resulting in Earths distinct shortage of humanoids, and strickt censorship laws, all pipedal lifeforms of hominal descent have been substituted with their evolutionary equivalent. Öööööö!! -Austrian battle cry

I just got news that “When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again” has made it into the Revver Editors Picks… which is purely awesome. I owe it all to Tanja (The Awesome One(TM)) for uploading it. I made the animation way back in 1999 in Flash 4, so its eight years old. It was my first Flash animation. Sweeeet. On a semi-related note VitalMedia recently requested three animated sequences for their three community site’s (VitalBMX, VitalMX, and VitalSkate) video end. They’re kinda like a MySpace/YouTube for extreme sports. Their sites are definitely worth a visit. Some of the footage there is...
