Hi beshtya, there's some interesting things in there, some things that have been on the blue before, too. Was there something here specifically for us? I can't find a common enough thread.

The thread is figuring out how a fairly important artist of public and social spaces constructs his Internet life, and the link list--which combines personal interests with obvious work realted matters is kind of fascinating. wished it was more of a link dumpy blog thing tho

Colour me disappointed - no breakdancing links.

Cool, we share the first two links.

Nice list of links although it would be more useful if you can have a brief description of what a link/website is about.

I don't understand the need for common threads or descriptions. Why don't you just see where the links lead you?

I really liked Eliasson's show at SF Moma. The New Yorker art critic dismissed it as mere interior decoration. Pfff nuts to that guy, not everything has to be Difficult and Challenging. On the interior deco tip though-- I do want a moss covered wall

Nice to see that Olafur was on TED. My girlfriend and I were in Århus, Denmark last year, and saw some of his work at ARoS. "Your rainbow panorama" and "Your atmospheric colour atlas" were magnificent.
