We had so much fun doing this and we can’t wait until you see the actual photos :)
Is your shadow playing tricks on you behind your back?
Sunday, July 26th, 2009
Two recent art project we have come across have one thing in common: they play with shadows.
Ever played with hand shadows? The British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster sure have. And now they are doing it with piles of rubbish, just take a look:

That’s a picture of a piece called “White Trash (With Gulls)”, one of their earliest shadow work. That’s really the shadow of that pile of rubbish projected on the wall. There’s more to be seen at Environmental Graffiti blog. Btw, that’s six months of household waste – this artist couple has a few things to say about the way we live.
On a lighter note, Katie Sokoler has real fun with shadows. She taped paper shadow people onto street walls in Brooklyn and photographed people walking by at the exact moment they matched their shadows. Her photos are really funny and positive:
Here’s more pictures of her Shadow Project, guaranteed to make you smile.
Katie Sokoler also runs a blog worth checking out, she seems to have a positively colorful view on life. It’s called Color Me Katie.
Album cover art final day

The album cover art is almost done! There’s going to be a big foldout with lots of candies in it (surprisingly), individual pictures for each song on the album and a lot of fun in the details.
Sneak preview:
Album cover art day 4

There’s a lot of stuff on the studio floor! This pile of stuff is going to end up being the album page for “I Mind Now”… somehow.
Here’s a TV OFF megaphone.
Listening to an old Amorphous Androgynous record while working, still brilliant.
Album cover art day 3

Play-Doh, water colors and hundreds of photos.
It’s the TV OFF candy! Then there’s this:
Album cover art day 2
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009
Day #2: lots of paper chaff, scissors, glue, paint and lyrics. These are going to make the “I Mind Now” page on the album cover.
These little cuties cannot wait to get photographed:
Here’s a sneak preview on day #1’s edited results, not revealing too much yet :)
Album cover art day 1
Monday, June 29th, 2009
The deadline for the album cover art is closing so we better start working. While we’re at it we thought it would be cool to document the process and give some sneak previews of what is going to be the TV OFF album cover.
Here we go, day 1, photoshoots.
Minor problem: the heat wave hit Helsinki so the bananas are close to dead.
Take me to your leader – vending robots running around Tokyo
Monday, June 8th, 2009
You can get almost anything from vending machines in Tokyo, they are in every street corner. It seems some of the machines have reached a level of intelligence far beyond the human mind and now seek to conquer the world.
Coca-Cola made these robotic vending machines for a campaign and released them on the streets of Tokyo. Just wondering if they actually worked and you could buy a can of Coke from them – probably did.
There’s a Flickr photo group for Japanese vending machines, they are cool and oh so handy.
Thank you Tokyo!

Hope to get back here soon, we love Japan! 600+ people at the gig, that was real fun. Getting more footage online after we get home.
A quick shot from the hotel room window, Tokyo Shibuya is amazing!
