He's released a lot of disco pop music at events such as the gay pride. We're just about to collaborate with a guy who calls himself House of Wallenberg. But other than that it's all gone pretty well. I want different positions and stuff so I've sent him screengrabs from pornos and I think that has kind of stressed him out. But I guess the only one really complaining is the guy who helped me out with the 3D-design.īecause I had to send him a bunch of gay porn during his working hours. But a few people-as per usual-have expressed some negative opinions and think that we don't have anything to do with what's going on in Russia. I think most reactions have been pretty good. Has the porn imagery caused any type of negative reactions so far? And I thought it was the funniest thing ever because it's great if people have gay sex in Putin's face. So it’s everything from guys having sex, girls having sex to transgender people having sex. So I wanted to make stereograms in a different way and add gay porn into them instead of the usual stuff. I was looking in an old book about dinosaurs with stereograms and was like, "I should do something with this". I got pissed off and annoyed about the situation in Russia. Last spring I made a site called Anonym Nätkärlek (Anonymous Love Online) together with some friends and this is similar to that. And I think it's fun to do stuff online and in print, and I guess it’s about doing stuff for a good cause. Isak Landaboure: I've done similar stuff in the past. VICE: Hi Isak! Tell me about this project. I guess you see why I had to give Isak a call. Instead of usual nature mash-ups, the Naughty Russia posters are composed of Russian president Vladimir Putin’s face and various images of gay, lesbian and transgender porn. However, Isak’s prints aren’t of the classic kind.
Naughty stereogram series#
The project is a series of old-school stereogram posters (those weird 3D-images that adults give to children when they need them to chill out for a second). The email was from a Swedish guy, Isak Landaboure, who together with a couple of friends has started a crowd-funded charity campaign to support the Russian LGBT Network. But this time it wasn’t a promo from YouPorn or Xvideos. Rediscover how music really sounded.The other day I received an email that my email provider considered to be junk mail because the subject line read “Naughty Russia”. It has a sound of the time and that is something you can only rediscover by rescuing a stereogram and a pile of old records and cherishing them. I know a bit about sound and while a 1961 stereogram is hardly HiFi it does have a sound that is unique.
Naughty stereogram professional#
However, I’ve been a record producer for 20 years and have owned more than my fair share of professional audio gear. I’m aware of a heavy dose of nostalgia at play here. Someone else stood there too, over 50 years ago and did the same thing. Close your eyes and you are discovering Elvis for the first time, and you know it’s pretty special. As it plays you are there in a time before the digital age, before even colour TV. Here is a song recorded in April 1961 being played back on a stereo built in 1961. Hearing it back through the stereogram was just pure magic. Then after sifting through piles of records, there was the song again. For the next 30 years I never listened to an Elvis album again, perhaps I moved on. My earliest memory of that Pye was Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Fallin’ In Love.
Naughty stereogram upgrade#
I persuaded my father to upgrade to a modern HiFi once I had acquired several LPs and the ‘sound’ was lost forever. Until I was 16 years old, I wasn’t even allowed near it.Ībove all I remember the warmth of the bass, the strained tops, the resonance of the real wood cabinet and the sense of intimacy in the sound. As a teenager my first records were played on it in the early 80s. My father bought one of the first stereograms in the UK in the early 1960s, a beautiful Pye machine with a stereo VHF radio (this service wasn’t available in NZ at the time). Looking back we had no idea how precious the load was. They were delivered to our car on a forklift. Many of them were from the 1960s and before, and we knew little else. We’d taken the plunge and bought a job-lot of 1000 old records on-spec from TradeMe. Wood, valves, 4 speed turntable and enough heat radiated to keep your feet warm on a winter’s night. Rediscovering the album artwork was a huge added bonus. Why? Simply to listen to records how they would have been heard originally. A simple decision to rediscover records on an old record player led us to find not just any old record player, but a Stereogram from 1961.
