Phoneblocks: recycling, reshaping, reusing the smartphone’s concept

One of the most annoying things about some smartphones (and other gadgets) is that they don’t have removable batteries. Or you can’t upgrade the memory. Or once the screen breaks, that’s it, game over. Or you have found another phone with, say, a camera that better suits your needs. You have to replace an otherwise perfectly cromulent gadget because one part failed to function as it should, or as you want it to.

Paul Hazelton’s Dust Sculptures!

For most, dust is a non-object, a collection of life’s leftovers: dirt, hair, pollen, fibres all collecting on surfaces and in corners as time does its work. Dust’s physical presence then also comes to carry many meanings. Socially, it is often associated with carelessness, neglect, and poor housekeeping; symbolically, it recalls loss, mystery, memory, death .

Nomads and coders

I have managed to find a few closing thoughts about the Resonate Festival, now that I found a moment, and some issues related to digital culture, the culture of technology, the culture of information and knowledge.I would like to mention a guy who is a teacher that has figured out (or continues to figure [in process]) how to get his students to think and do code for visually artistic results. Well, Casey Raes is an artist.
