We laugh until we think we’ll die,
barefoot on a summer night
Nothin’ new is sweeter than with you
And in the streets we’re running
free like i’s only you and mee
Geez, you’re somethin’ to see.
BETWEEN EAST AND WEST
we all live somewhere close
“Generative Design” usually makes everybody think of programming tools like Processing or openFrameworks. The first workshop of Jonas Jäger and Stefan Wagner showed that you don’t need any programming knowledge for it. Only by using your own hands you can create exciting generative design.
I had a peak into their first workshop and was really fascinated by the results (like the drawing robots that you can see in the video). I hope i can post more about their work soon.
Digitalizing old family tapes is fun!! Especially when you find unforgettable moments like that: my brother raving to german techno beats in 1991

CZECH ART 101 - MARTINA LOVES “A JE TO aka PAT A MAT”
Pat & Mat (original names in Czech Kuťáci, … A je to!, Pat a Mat) is a Czech stop-motion animated series featuring two handymen, Pat and Mat (Czech for “Stalemate” and “Checkmate”, respectively). It was created by Lubomír Beneš and Vladimír Jiránek.
The show features the two characters facing mostly self-made problems, trying to solve them using any possible and impossible tools and construction gadgets. This leads to even more problems and yet, eventually, the two manage to get a working result with a mostly surprising solution.
According to the authors, it is the manual ineptitude that inspires the stories. The humour is not the only feature of the show. Another feature is having an optimistic approach towards life. The two characters always get into problematic situations, but they never give up until they solve the problem in imaginative ways.
The show is also memorable for its soundtrack, composed by Petr Skoumal, of which the main parts consist of the theme song and a harmonica tune.
In socialist Czechoslovakia, the authors had to explain their “subversive” characters and stories to the Prague watch-dogs of the regime, e.g. one of the questions was if they chose the t-shirt colours, red and yellow, to make fun of the Soviet-Chinese tensions. However, their explanations were “unsatisfactory”, and so the “ideologic impurity” and the ban on Pat & Mat production remained. Yet, the Slovak colleagues from Czechoslovak TV in Bratislava gave Pat & Mat the necessary support, assigned them production means, so the production began and went on in the same Czech studio in Prague where Lubomír Beneš and his crew worked, under their Slovak cover (28 episodes, 1979–1985). However, Mat’s T-shirt was changed from red to a neutral grey. It was changed again to red in 1989.
