Journal de Nîmes - Otherworldly Sounds

Denim inspired boutique Tenue de Nîmes celebrates her first anniversary with the third edition of the quarterly paper Journal the Nîmes. I'm honored to be one of the contributors to this Journal, with Japan as main theme. 

I wrote an article about Japanese music, combined with reviews of two Japanese artists - YMCK and Susumu Yokota. So if you are in Amsterdam, head to the Elandsgracht and grab one, while Menno and René guide you through their collection of beautiful garments, or click on the image to read it online.

Face Visualizer

Some projects are just plain weird. Like this Face Visualizer, one of Daito Manabe's 'body hack' experiments. By sending electric stimuli to a persons face, synchronized to the music, you get a rather funny looking visual representation of what you hear. Perfectly synchronized facial expressions.

There isn't much information on the concept of the project on Manabe's website (or it's in Japanese), and I don't know if there would be a lot to say about it. This seems to be a classic case of "look what I can do!". And it looks funny, so we all want to see it!
