One of the first big projects, I've been developing as a creative director during last 3 months at my new job is coming to life in few days 🎉
Had a great pleasure communicating with many creatives from all over the world regarding this assignments. With someone we even managed to establish fruitful remote collaboration networks. Now spending a lot of time in the studio finalizing the opening show, wish me and our team best of luck on the event itself🙏🏼 For sure i will be sharing many artistic and technical insights here later ❤️

While having a lot of fun with the projects that I craft as a creative director, I am proudly sharing some news from my "independent artist" sub-personality. Our kargat.studio collective was nominated to participate WIP festival in Nicosia, showcasing our recent project RxTx
We are not travelling ourselves and are very thankful for the festival team for their support and technical assistance onsite.

I am looking for a skilled UE developer willing to relocate to Bahrain for at least 1 year contract to work on interactive installations, events and exhibition booths. Requirements to the candidate:

Tactical Publishing: Using Senses, Software, and Archives in the Twenty-First Century

In this recently published book Alessandro Ludovico argues that the new ecology of publishing should be based on three main elements: the stimulation of our senses, the role of software in forming the publishing infrastructure, and the importance of archives. During this transition from the current post-digital phase to the next phase, independent publishers and artists, as well as readers and machines, will enable new structures and actions that realize the potential of publishing and the preservation of content, thereby enriching social practices. The author also considers the crucial social role played by new forms of libraries, as artists and publishers shape the coming publishing world in its various manifestations. Combining analytical accounts of tactical strategies with examples from artworks and experimental practices, the book concludes with a manifesto for publishing in the twenty-first century
