| nY-web syt wellecome! 24 / 12 / ‘09 The latter part of Cox & Grusenmeyer just finished an intense collaboration with Alexandre Leray for the website of nY, a journal for literature, critique and amusement. The website forms an independent platform with interesting objectives such as multimedia literature (coming soon…). Together with Alexandre we built the timeline functionality for the homepage which covers chronologically the activity of the different zones. It was quiet a battle but a pleasing finish! |
Werkstation Workshop
| We gave a workshop for the 1st years’ students at Sint Lucas, Visual Arts, Ghent. The goal was to make a visual partiture of a song with one single restriction — use no computers. Two great days! |  |
Follow The Money Conference
| The next mediafonds@sandberg conference handles the economical crisis trough the presence of complex datavisualisation, better named data-deco. We played on the conference’s title ‘Follow The Money’; each invitation comes with a set of stickers that you can glue on your money. On followthemoney.nu you can enter your location and trace it! We expect a daunting datavisualisation! |  |
Booklet Werkstation
| We made a booklet with images of all the posters of ‘De Filmavonden’ connected to related work we did during ‘Werkstation’. |  |
Follow The Money Money
| Curious about where money goes, we wrote messages on a few banknotes which we spread in Frankfurt. Hopefully the future owners are going to help us track the money. |  |

Paint Action
| During our stay in Frankfurt (also known as ‘Mainhatten’) we saw clearly why this place is called the financial capital of Europe. In the cold streets, posters for events were almost the only traces of human life. We explored the city at night and painted the prices of the events over the posters. In that way we highlighted the money behind the entertainment industry. Fun costs money too and it is usually found in the small letters. Also commercial billboards got our attention. (Unfortunately Cox & Grusenmeyer got the attention of the police…) |  |
| Frankfurt excursion 12 / 11 / ‘09 After a nice sausage-dialogue on Facebook, FourfiveX invited us to come to Frankfurt and join them in a ‘live drawing performance’ on the occasion of their exhibition (from the 12th until the 14th of november). We’re not yet sure what exactly is going to happen but Cox & Grusenmeyer are happy to visit ze Germans, jawohl. FourfiveX is an initiative for independent thoughts, products, design and art run by Alexander Lis and Tim Heiler. http://www.foufivex.net |
Tony M — Sprayfun
| During the Amperdans Event in Antwerp, Wesley Wolkman kindly invited us to paint Monty’s wall with our spraygun. ‘A way of testing your accuracy’, Wesley Wolkman. |
