don't mind the above as another possible title, which could also give a thematic focus to everything...
syrup helsinki - it took me a little while to work out the navigation, but it was o.k. once i got that together (though my misnavigation led me to discover that the background reforms every time you reload the site, which is nice). a little cumbersome loading each new piece of work, but not too bad. i get the idea of a different and interesting structure for a site. in terms of content - probably too client driven for me to really enjoy - there's not a specific individual take on anything coming through so it all seems a little generic to me on the whole (there are some very nice things though, don't get me wrong) without any real artist identity. i actually have just read about this company in a new cd & dvd packaging book i bought - there's a few pages devoted to the 'we are escalator records' compilations - though in the book they are in card sleeves rather than the horrible plastic cases on the website.
from all that you've said, i just think it's time you start making art. it's been a long time since you've made art without thinking of it as product - start doing it now. the telafonica bits will come from it, not the other way around.
is 'misformed haikku texts' a solid enough premise? i think it possibly is.
