Ben, in the Russian Creative Arts magazine, in conversation during his recent trip Over There, as translated by babelfish:

Modest American fellow Ben with the neskromnym, but not less American chin on 25 October "broke" Kharkov designer public. On is somewhat hour into the thick and cool darkness of the corridors of the Kharkov academy of design and skills it broke the wind of kanzasskikh prairies it took away us, similar to the heroes of known fairy tale, into the magic country OZ. There, among shriftikov and marks, ancient and contemporary photographs, vector and scanning images, different it is layer and stratifications live 11 designers, who call themselves mk12 and making brilliant things both for the customers and just for fun.
Ben radatts arrived from the the distant Kansas City it is special in order to visit the city- spectres Pripet and Chernobyl'. Now it is occupied by project about such abandoned cities. In its photo report from the covered with thick dust toys, the desert avenues and the thick layer of the deserted books looks by empty eye sockets the history of human stupidity, carelessness and tragedy. Ben with the readiness agreed to arrive into Kharkov already in spring on triyennale "the 4th block " as the volunteer for weighing and fulfilling other works, and to conduct its own the master- class. The unexpected turn of events gladdened all being present advocates and participants to triyennale. Such guest star will decorate with its presence any designer event. Star chart "the 4th block "it is enlarged!

Studio MK12 is occupied by musical clips, advertising rollers, animated presentations, by the mini- films and by many others. Many of us, for example, already saw the new design of the bottles Coca-Cola — here also it did not manage without MK12. All projects strike with their technical and designer performance. Each sequence of presentation can be made a separate work. All these overflows, motion in the different measurements, penetration into the invisible spaces possess constant charm and mysterious attractiveness and at the same time they are clear and intelligible. The listeners struck by works nevertheless assigned and several questions about the designer working days of their American associates and even of some other palpitating regions.
All departed to create after long and fruitful conversation and survey of student papers. Each its. To be immersed more deeply in this mysterious peace of design, as To doroti departed increasingly further and it is further into the interior of the magic country OZ.
