Books

I fınally got my books I ordered from the Internet.



First of all thanks a lot to my friend Noah Scalin for signing his book SKULLS and sending it to me. Holidays are approaching, it's a great gift for everyone. SKULLS is a gathering of some skulls Noah did for his project Skulladay where he created one skull, every day for one year. You can buy it through IndieBound, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble or Powell's Books. It has a nice embossed cover by the way and I would recommend it to anyone.






Second book is "New York September 11". A hardcover book with photos taken by photographers of the Magnum Agency. I had seen this book during an exhibition in Istanbul at the Museum of modern Arts and I really liked some of the photos in it. Like the one from photographer Susan Meiselas of the sculpture park near the WTC covered with debris.






The third one is from artist Shepard Fairey, E Pluribus Venom (hardcover). The title could be translated as "Out of many, Poison". This book gathers some of the artworks Fairey produced and presented at his exhibition in the summer 2007 at the Jonathan Levine gallery.
E Pluribus Venom is derived from "E Pluribus Unumi" (Out of Many, One), a motto adopted by the U.S. Government appearing on U.S. currency. In his work, Fairey questions the symbols and methods of the U.S. and of the American dream and also those who oppose blind nationalism and war.
Fairey uses many different styles as currency motifs, blend of Art Nouveau, revolutionary propaganda styles to support pacifism.

Gumusluk used to be the city of Myndos during the ancient greek times. So you can find a lot of ancient ruins around :

Skulladay 2.0

Sadly, the project Skull-A-Day is over. After 365 days of constant innovation, the project of my friend Noah came to an end. Congratulations man, that was really impressing to see a new skull every day.
Happily Noah is gonna be able to have a life now but I'm sure he won't stay there doing nothing. I'm looking forward for his next move. Till then get some rest and holidays man.
The website is still going on as version 2.0, keep going there and have a look.

Let me remind you that Skull-A-Day also won the Webby People's Voice Award for the Personal Website Category! Way to go man.

Teknosohbet Day

I've been working all day long and if you noticed two days in a row, I'm not used to that.
Google/Turkcell press conference this morning :









Ericsson press conference this afternoon :








Then we spent all afternoon in the street asking people questions about Sony products and that's when we met Klif, crazy funny guy from the States. As he told us, he loves Turkey and Turkish people, he wants all Turkish people to be his friend, he asked us to give his email, aim/msn nicks, facebook name and website on the show. He also told us having more than 400 friends on msn. The guy is very friendly but he made me think of Jim Carrey in The Cable Guy. A bit creepy.





On the way back to the office, I spotted this little sticker made by this anonymous artist who also does stencils of this little fly everywhere, mainly in Cihangir. It represent the commercial image of the Bonus Credit Card given by the bank 'Garanti'. You can an old ad here, or pictures here and here. I actually, mainly took this picture for my friend N. and for his website Skulladay.
