Aram Bartholl – Blog

I am getting ready for an onlineresidency :) (which is nonsense in my point of view ;) at http://onlineresidency.com GREAT DOMAIN ;) !!!  As a little teaser I came up with this compuserv-gif today. :)

This is my current headset (I stole from my own show at Ars Electronica 2007, sorry Maff!). I am thinking of getting
a new one  … although hmmm  … I could fix it again, one more time maybe ? … :)

Tönjes gave me this tiny ‘tool’ because he thought I had left it at his Cafe (MÖRDER). But this wasn’t the case. Then we started guessing what this little needle sort of paperclip tool was good for. Someone said you would need this to eject a sim from an iPhone … is Apple still making you use of the  paperclip emergency technique?!? It is definitely useful to hit reset buttons in little holes but a ball-pen is usually enough for that, no? What is it for? Do you know? It is definitely a pretty sexy, high end tech, sturdy premium steel, well crafted piece of metal. Love it!

This is not a joke or art project!
