Games

With games for learning how to cook, how to speak a foreign language or to help you study for an exam or improve your calligraphy, and even acting as a travel guide, the Nintendo DS has drastically changed the idea of what a 'game' is. 

With the Korg DS 1o, however, the Nintendo DS has fully transformed into a tool for creation. As a music enthusiast and a Korg user of over 15 years this new creation blew me away. 

What is a game?
What is an instrument?
What is playing?
What is composing?
How do playing a game and playing an instrument differ?

Miguel Calderon



First i watched this cause of Hiroki, This guy does amazing work. His most famous work is some crazy men in masks on 4 wheelers which was seen in The Royal Tenenbaums. Every art project he does is different from the next. In one part of the video he talks about how some of his work is complete shit. But his main goal is to try new things. And second he says its great being an artist because he gets to show the human side of things. Being a human, he says, is to fuck up sometimes, but fucking up can lead to great things. Respect!
