Attention Breeders…
http://fffff.at/attention-breeders/
SOOOOOO.. You had kids but you also want a life? SOLUTION:
The Optimization of Parenthood is a robot arm which reacts whenever a baby placed in the bassinet cries or awakes from sleep. The arm will speed up if the baby cries and it can also offer a bottle of milk or a favorite toy.
Broke parents are often pigeonholed into being full time parents, the cost of childcare sucks every penny away so even if they want to continue their creative work, they can’t economically swing it. Its often not so much a choice as it is, what we call The Default to Suck. As a result, the parent, and in reality, almost always the mother, loses the very creative practice they spent an entire life building. The result? We end up on medication, angry, depressed and/or bitches who need a shower.
If however, we could eliminate much of the routine, tedious, monotony of parenting while still continuing a creative practice we will have optimized the process of parenting without loses what makes us interesting. Automatic repetitive parenting task can be transferred to devices, without affecting ‘the development of the baby’ while still letting the parent live up to their fullest breeder and artistic potential.
Winning.
Already have your robot arm laying around and just need the code to get your life back? Here you go.
This project was developed with support from the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University and created at the Digital Fabrication Laboratory, (dFab), CMU School of Architecture with Technical Assistants from Madeline Gannon

BRICKiPhone
http://fffff.at/brickiphone/
BRICKiPhone is a completely functional iPhone 4/4s upgrade case.
See, we know you carry the most ubiquitous device of the yuppie class. You probably also have some really fugly ‘protection cover’ on it, when all you ever wanted in life was to go back to the day anyway, right? Solved.
BRICKiPhone is built from four 3d printed pieces. Insert iPhone earplugs, an iPhone 4/4s and go. It snaps together to transforms your iPhone into the hottest thing since the last time people rocked bricks (including the coveted belt clip). Since it prints in four pieces it can be printed with the at home 3d printer of your choice.
Whaaa? You say money for nothin’ and chicks for free? We feel for you assholes (sort of) so STFU and make it gold already.
FAT 3d files available for download here. Complete image and documentation hotness also available here.

Are you a cognitive worker that don´t understand why neither government or private institutions want to pay for your work? You might want to watch this choreogramme from Psychic Warfare. Repeat it. It is good for the psyche!
Enjoy my fellow precatariats!

An ongoing study of archived images collected passively through my everyday Internet usage. Internet cache is visualized using off the shelf screen saver and image viewing software to produce archival prints and videos. Each print is a unique archive of cached images from a specific date.
I will be posting an ongoing series of Personal Internet Cache Archive studies on my blog over the course of the next year.

Online Shop Open Two Weeks Only...
http://www.blog.ni9e.com/archives/2010/12/online_shop_ope.html
I will be briefly reunited with my inventory this December, so I am reopening the online shop for a short period of time after being offline for the better part of last year. It is now open for two weeks of business under a sexy new URL: availableofflineforfees.com (not to be confused with availableonlineforfree.com).
I will be taking orders until December 27, 2010 and everything will be shipped out by December 31, 2010. This will most likely be the only time in the next year that I'll have access to the items online and will be able to make multiple shipments of this kind. If you have any questions or are interested in something you don't see listed on the site, please feel free to reach me at info[at]evan-roth[dot]com.
All proceeds of sales will go directly towards allowing me to continue replying to email requests from advertisers with four letter words. Happy Holidays!

Out of Ideas
http://fffff.at/out-of-ideas/
See stills and more info at visitsteve.com
As part of my Lower East Side Printshop Special Editions Residency, I created this series of silkscreen (and hand altered) prints called, Out of Ideas. This video shows some of the process of how each were made.
If you’re unfamiliar with the world of fine art prints, it’s not a good idea to touch them with your bare hands, wrinkle or kink them in anyway… you get the idea.
Video shot at the Lower East Side Printshop. Doug Bennett was the Master Printer, James Miller did the silkscreening. Video edited while on a residency at the Headlands Center for the Arts. Music except is “Can’t Get Satisfied” by Jack McDuff.

Art in the Admin...
http://www.blog.ni9e.com/archives/2010/04/art_in_the_admi.html
Rhizome's 7 on 7 event took place this weekend. I had the opportunity to work with Matt Mullenweg (creator of WordPress) on a 24 hour speed project. Together we implemented a series of opt-in interventions in the admin / Dashboard section of WordPress. The project is now live on all 12 million WordPress hosted blogs. You can activate it by clicking the "surprise me" option in your Personal Settings page.
For more information you can view Matt's Surprise Me post on wordpress.com. Business Week and the New York Times also covered the event. Video of the presentation should be available shortly at rhizome.org.
The current "fun mode" features we have implemented include Humanized Statistics, 2X Publish and Sacred Acts of Publishing. More info on each listed below:
Humanized Statistics: A different way of thinking about your stats. The new "humanize" tab in the stats panel displays photos from towns with populations matching the current daily number of visitors to your blog.
2X Scale Publish Button: A small step towards making the publish button visually reflect its importance and power over other lesser buttons.
Sacred Acts of Publishing: Positive reinforcement for the often solitary act of publishing. Upon hitting the publish button, users may experience a video playback of backboard-shattering slam dunks, game show victories or epic slow claps. You may be alone in your bedroom at 3am when you finally hit the publish button, but that's no reason not to receive a round of high fives and a chest bump:
This is an example of what you might see in your admin panel shortly after hitting the publish button:
And this is a dramatic reenactment of the user experience:
Big thanks to Rhizome for the invitation to take part in such an amazing event. And huge props to Matt, who was a pleasure to work with. Hopefully we'll be rolling out some new "fun mode" features soon.
