Pinch Punch!
September 01, 2004

The About Face exhibit at the Hayward Gallery was a bit disappointing. Some great photography but it didn't really live up to it's claims to be representing the effects of phot editing techiniques and cosmetic surgery on portraiture... A bit more annotation wouldn't have gone amiss really... went to see the Stones tour photos after as well and it had shut! Doh!
As I still have to finish Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver I'm alarmed to see how much has been added to the metaweb!!!

I notice that quite a few people are stopping by searching for info on the Gorkem Hotel, where we stayed this year and I didn't really write anything about it. Well it's cheap and functional room wise, but the staff are really friendly and the food was good. They have a pool, the beer is cheap [although not the best in the world] and the pool table is free! I'd go back today if I could :) I just hope my current lack of working permalinks doesn't make finding stuff too difficult. I shall have another look at sorting that out this week.

Great robot/comic art at studiowhite and Kempa get's himself into a linguistic vortex with palindromatic [is that a word?] song lyrics but reminds me of a book I read years ago Godel, Escher Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid which is a a mind blowing mixture of art, maths and music... Things are back from their holidays... The Space Elevator Concept looks like some sort of over elaborate school science project to me! via exclamation mark
