Who in the blazes?

Killerpoke is the independent blog of Nick Craske, creative director, living and working in London. Killerpoke is a method of inducing irreversible hardware damage on a machine. As a little-scamp the most rewarding play was always disassembling objects, turning them upside down, inside out and making something more useful, unexpected or playful - and sometimes just to enjoy pulling them apart. I'm even more curious now, and increasingly fascinated with technology and narrative to communicate and entertain in the digital world. Work is play.

    Wonderful exhibition in London: Digital Hinterlands

    Posted in Computing, Installation, art | No Comments »

    Digital Hinterlands features a diverse range of work by some of the best recent architecture graduates from London’s Architectural Association, Bartlett , Royal College of Art, and University of Westminster. Curated by Ruairi Glynn in consultation with Arup, this exhibition revealed how the latest computational design and rapid manufacturing processes are providing new ways of understanding and designing space. From built models, 1:1 fragments, material experiments and installations, to interactive devices, virtual worlds and robotics, the exhibition presented the ideas of a wave of young designers, operating on the speculative hinterlands of architectural design.

    A baby named Levithan accompanied by his metamorphic cat – ‘One of the greatest wierdest things I have ever stared at’

    Posted in Books, Drawing, Philosophy, Science, Writing, art | 1 Comment »

    Quirky and reverential, dark and droll by turn, it follows the faceless baby Levi’s journeys in to and out of the world. They are escapes, but as some sage once observed, only a jailer would consider the term ‘pejorative’.

    Mark Farhall’s Abstructavist art is most splendid; naive yet complex.

    ‘I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in, stops my mind from wandering’

    Posted in art | No Comments »

    Jan Vormann, 26, fixes crumbling walls and monuments using Lego. He has taken his project from its humble beginnings at an art fair in Rome and brightened up thousands of people’s days with his multi-coloured-rendering antics. Charming.

    Happy 75th Penguin Books from Douglas Coupland (and me)

    Posted in Books, art | No Comments »

    Douglas Coupland has created a pastiche set of Penguin covers illustrating our history. It’s been done before but with Douglas’ quixotic approach and astute perception this set works beautifully.

    Machotaildrop, the fantastical skateboard fantasy film

    Posted in Film, art | No Comments »

    Machotaildrop is a highly visual and fantastical journey about an amateur skateboarder, Walter Rhum, who realizes his dream of turning pro and riding for the world’s greatest skateboard company… Machotaildrop. Set in an anachronistic time and place, Machotaildrop is the greatest skateboard company of its day and the regal and grand sport of skateboarding has been thriving for many generations. Walter’s journey serves as a window through which we discover the dark underbelly of what appears at first to be a benign skateboard company.
