What things have happened to Rinzen since the group spoke at the 2003 Semi-Permanent event?
Highlights include the release of our most recent book "Neighbourhood" by Victionary, creating rooms for Hotel Fox in Copenhagen, a bike for bebike in Japan and the logo for Paul Pope's Batman.

Where is everyone based out of these days?
We're all over the place now - Karl in Melbourne, Adrian in Brisbane, Craig in New York and Steve and Rilla in Berlin.

Any personal projects?
Most recently we have exhibited our paintings and drawings in solo shows in Hamburg, Berlin and Madrid. In 2006 we launched the Rinzen CarePack, a collection of experiments and collaborations with other artists, photographers and writers.

Any Rinzen history highlights (certain clients etc)?
We formed as a result of our RMX project in 2000, extending the collaboration to include artists and designers from around the world for the "RMX Extended Play" book (Die-Gestalten Verlag, 2001). The most recent incarnations of the project include the remaking and reworking of hand-made fabric toys for "Neighbourhood", and an 11 day workshop exploring collaborative methods of working in Sapporo, Japan.
