Robert Pratt
Entschuldigung

"Schuld" means debt/fault/blame. If you are in debt / to blame ("schuldig") you have to get ...
Basically get out of it. So "ent-schuld-igen" is getting out of it. 
If you hit someone, you are to blame and you can't get "entschuldigen" yourself, you have to ask for "Entschuldigung" (Noun, "um Entschuldigung bitten"). 
To some very very sensitive people it may appear rude to say "Entschuldigung." 
("Sorry") to un-blame yourself, instead of asking for it from the one who blames you. 
Most people don't even notice the difference. 
In daily life, it doesn't really matter.

John Lawrence
The Olympus Test

The Olympus E-FM1 HD video camera's ability to deal with common issues such as striping, water motion and colour bleed are assessed via an online camcorder website's bespoke testing rig.

Edited by the artist this raw footage becomes a form of 'banal tension', talking both of cinema's ability to manipulate, and reminding us of our own embodied, physical experience of digital technologies. Sound design by Tim Eve.

John Lawrence is a London-based artist working across a range of mediums and approaches whose work deals with our contemporary, mediated experience. Alongside his practice he organises After/Hours/Drop/Box - a commissioning platform for collaborative projects at the intersection of music, video and live performance.
