SPAMCONSUMER contributed to the exhibition “Urban Experiences – Workspace Berlin“.
Art, Design, Fashion, Architecture, Film, Music – Oktober 2009
Das Haus am Köllnischen Park, Berlin
Live Show with 6 Video-Projectors & Live Audio Performance.
scumskullz are constructed from black and white pixels on a 5×5 grid. the result is a space-Invaders-like pixel fighter – friendly or aggressive, chaotic or regular. it started out as an icon design study and has grown into a collaborative online art project with contributors from all over the planet. but beware: not every 5×5 bitmap is valid. there are certain constraints the anatomy of a scumskull has to meet. like almost every living creature on earth they are symmetric and contiguous. they have to touch all boundaries of the construction grid, too. an exhaustive search showed that according to this definition there are 12,209 possible scumskullz.
scumskullz usually live on computer screens and stickers on the streets, but they can be made out of everything you can imagine. bathroom tiles, legos, food, rubber stamps, lamps or truetype fonts. there are even rumors of scumskullz spotted on acid sheets and pills of E. visit the website to witness the global infiltration, learn more about the anatomy, view all discovered species and create your own scumskull.
the scumskullz crew consists of interdisciplinary design and IT experts based in munich, bavaria.
Das Haus am Köllnischen Park …
…wurde bis 1990 von SED-Parteischule “Karl Marx” sowie von der Bezirksparteischule “Friedrich Engels” genutzt.
Urban Experiences Workspace Berlin fand im größten Raum des Gebäudes, im Kinosaal statt.
In enger Zusammenarbeit mit den Helden von “BerlinBeamBoys“.

Created April/Mai 2006 - 3mx2mx0.1meter canvas for Kestner Museum, Hanover:
(A ScumSupplies Project – supported by ShameABC / www.shameabc.com)
It’s all about Train Surfing, Skating, Train Bombing, Godzilla, Bode´, Fucking, Sucking, Eating, Shitting etc.
Check the spraying peoples’ human pyramid at the right bottom corner – hee! (Thanks 2 Man Fred!)
The History & Definition of isometric Pixelart:
The term pixel art was first published by Adele Goldberg and Robert Flegal of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in 1982. The concept, however, goes back about 10 years before that, for example in Richard Shoup’s SuperPaint system in 1972, also at Xerox PARC.
Some traditional art forms, such as cross-stitch, mosaic and beadwork, bear some similarity to pixel art by constructing pictures out of small colored units analogous to the pixels of modern digital computing.
A similar concept on a much bigger scale can be seen in the mass games.
Pixel art is distinguished from other forms of digital art by an insistence upon manual, pixel-level editing of an image (without the application of image filters, automatic anti-aliasing or special rendering modes), often at close magnification. In this form, it is commonly said that “each pixel was placed carefully” to achieve a desired result.
ICE = Intercity Express:
(German pronunciation: [iːtseːˈeː]) — is a system of high-speed trains predominantly running in Germany and neighbouring countries. It is the highest service category offered and is the flagship of Deutsche Bahn.
It’s among the best-known brands of Germany. It’s the most secured Train in Germany – Go and paint it!
Klaus Kinski:
(18 October 1926 Danzig, Poland – 23 November 1991, California)
Klaus Kinski was a German actor, famous for his ability to project onscreen intensity, and for his explosive temperament. His real name was Klaus Günter Karl Nakszyński.
He acted in over 130 films. He lived at Elisabethmarkt in Maxvorstadt/Munich in Germany.

Kestner Museum Hanover:
Thousands of years under one roof
The lawyer August Kestner (1777-1853) lived as a diplomat of the Hanover king house in Rome for many years, where he gathered an extensive collection of antique art. Its nephew gave the works of art to the city of Hanover in 1882. Together with the 1887 acquired art collection of the printer and Hanover senator Friedrich Culemann they form the basic stick of the today’s collection of the museum, which was opened 1889.

Made out of pixels, LEGOs, and even tiles on the street. Found on walls, on blotter, and scored on pills of e.
The genetic code is 25 bits of black or white on a 5×5 grid. Out of 12,209 viable designs only a fraction have been discovered / named / created in the lab. Scumskullz are sofa king rad.
Exhibitions in Munich/Germany, Zaragoza/Spain, Katowice/Poland, Vilnius/Lithuania.

Scumskullz are constructed from black and white pixels on a 5×5 grid. the result is a space-Invaders-like pixel fighter – friendly or aggressive, chaotic or regular. It started out as an icon design study and has grown into a collaborative online art project with contributors from all over the planet. But beware: not every 5×5 bitmap is valid. There are certain constraints the anatomy of a scumskull has to meet. like almost every living creature on earth they are symmetric and contiguous. they have to touch all boundaries of the construction grid, too.
An exhaustive search showed that according to this definition there are 12,209 possible Scumskullz.
Scumskullz usually live on computer screens and stickers on the streets, but they can be made out of everything you can imagine.

Every Scumskull is constructed from black or white pixels on a 5×5 grid.
Additionally there are certain constraints on the shape of a Scumskull:
 |
A Scumskull must be symmetric to the vertical axis. |
 |
A Scumskull must be contiguous. That is, all black pixels have to be connected. Diagonal connections are allowed. |
 |
A Scumskull must be expletive. That is, the bounding box of the black pixels of a Scumskull must cover the whole 5×5 grid. Or, there must be at least one black pixel on the leftmost and rightmost columns and the topmost and bottommost rows of the grid |
