Q: So, anything new? What'd you do today?

A: Oh, dug through menus in a new AV receiver to find its MAC addresses, configured my network DHCP server to give it a static address, and then wrote some iptables rules to keep that address from being able to reach outside the LAN. Pretty standard stuff.

Looking for a "DO NOT CONNECT THIS MACHINE TO THE INTERNET NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT NAGS" warning sign to print out.

#making #sculptures that consist of several #elements had some practical reasons, as it facilitated the #handling, but it also allowed me to reconsider the #work after finishing it. This work derived from a small #leftover #metal #rack I found on the streets. The #enlargement resulted in #seven #parts that could be #connected but could also be shown individually or be rearranged in #relation to the #exhibition #space. Thereby the #sculpture unexpectedly became a set of #tools to me, opening up playful possibilities.

When buying your #network #connected #devices, make sure that vendors #support matches your #expectations. Devices might be #EoL ⚰️ even thought they are still being sold 💰. #Maintenance is hard - our decade old Turris 1.0 still receives #updates (contrary to the industry standards) and it is not easy 💪. Sometimes you can #reflash the device with your own #firmware to fix the #security issues, so prefer devices from vendor that pushes their #hardware support #upstream. vulncheck.com/blog/zyxel-telne

SOUL PEOPLE: INTERCONNECTED
Soul: the immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life; the moral and emotional nature of human beings. (source:Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

I watch the local and national news too much. As a result, I am witness to people facing serious life challenges that are beyond my own measured world.

To me, the Soul People series reflects aspects of intrinsic humanity, including the suffering, alienation, confusion as well as the quest for joy, peace and understanding that people experience in their day to day lives. Depending upon the "soul" within, they deal with these challenges differently. In these images I am trying to explore and visualize what that might look like.
