Public Face I is a giant neon smiley face mounted high over Berlin that uses analysis of the faces of people in the street to reflect the mood of the city in real-time. Creator Julius von Bismarck’s current job title is, incredibly, artist-in-residence at CERN.
I know it’s an extremely shitty photo, but… this baby will be MINE in a few days!!!
I decided to buy a used bass guitar + amp while I’m here (Yamaha, 40 Watt amp) and start learning. If I fall in love with the guitar, I’m taking it with me back to Canada. Otherwise, I’m reselling it and buying another one once I’m there.
Ahhh. I’m so fucking excited right now.
Words of wisdom from Jen:
On being unsure whether I want to take the guitar back with me: “dude you don’t wanna walk through the airport like a badass with your guitar?”
On whether she knew that bass guitars were SO FUCKING HEAVY: “nope, but I know how hot chick bass players are.”
