Tinkering or 'modding'

by Future Tense

Julian Tuckett wrote to use about modding and a group called Mod Off.

My artist friends just held a show wherein they presented a whole rooom full of 'Tinkering', which they term 'Modding'. The show was called Mod Off and they have now started a blog at http://modoff.wordpress.com/ which documents the work in the show, and is intended to act to continue to document more Mods.

I had a work in the show myself. The two who ran the show are very articulate and I reckon they'd be glad to talk to you about their ideas. They wrote a couple of short essays for a show catalogue, which are on the blog. If you want to talk to me about this, give me a hoy, or contact them via the blog.

Cheers - Julian
