          Grenzfurthner: On how to subvert subversion

          Progressive (provoking) artists nowadays need to deal with the soft power -stop signs in our head- as oppose to explicit signs and rules in public, if they want to get their message out. This is much harder than it seems.
          But it can be done. Grenzfurthner shows with an example, which remind me of the YES-man trick, but his point is much broader than the YES-man. Enjoy.

          [little warning: he shouts 2 or 3 times]. For more ted see here.

                  Ascent – Commemorating Shuttle

                  Photographic documentation of a Space Shuttle launch plays a critical role in the engineering analysis and evaluation process that takes place during each and every mission. Motion and Still images enable Shuttle engineers to visually identify off-nominal events and conditions requiring corrective action to ensure mission safety and success. This imagery also provides highly inspirational and educational insight to those outside the NASA family. This compilation of film and video presents the best of the best ground-based Shuttle motion imagery from STS-114, STS-117, and STS-124 missions. Rendered in the highest definition possible, this production is a tribute to the dozens of men and women of the Shuttle imaging team and the 30yrs of achievement of the Space Shuttle Program.(via)

                          Future of on stage entertainment

                          First there was the ‘Mr. Trololo robot mouth‘. Yamaha took it one step further, they created the above singing robot. In ten years on stage entertainment will never be the same again. I image long dead artist preforming on stage again without the use of video screens.

                                Niklas Roy: My little piece of Privacy

                                My workshop is located in an old storefront with a big window facing towards the street. In an attempt to create more privacy inside, I’ve decided to install a small but smart curtain in that window…The whole setup works really well. But in the end, it doesn’t protect my privacy at all. It seems that the existence of my little curtain is leading itself ad absurdum, simply by doing its job very well. | Niklasroy.com [via Tijs]

                                  ‘I was ready and waiting and took 81 shots before finally getting this one. ‘I was shocked when I realised what had happened. ‘It was pure luck really, a once in a lifetime opportunity. It’s the first photograph of its kind I have ever seen.’ | Metro.co.uk

                                  The iconic statue – which stands at 305ft tall – was built in 1886 and is said to attract over 600 bolts of lightning each year. (via)

                                    How did “The Simpsons” manage to track down Banksy, the pseudonymous British artist, and get him to create the powerful opening-credit sequence from Sunday’s episode, which seems to reveal the torturous sweatshop responsible for the show’s creation? And how, after all that mockery, have the producers behind that Fox animated series been able to retain their jobs? | Artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com

                                                De Rotterdam … I hope it will be constructed someday

                                                De Rotterdam is conceived as a vertical city: three interconnected mixed-use towers accommodating offices, apartments, a hotel, conference facilities, gym, shops, restaurants, and cafes. The project began in 1997 and was planned to go under construction at the end of 2009, with completion scheduled for 2013. Sadly the construction hasn’t started yet and I question if it will be build at all.

                                                  Star Wars Uncut wins an Emmy — the entire film is now viewable, 473 15-seconds clips recreated by fans! (waxy)

                                                  Since a while back big fan websites have been taken down, does the movie industry slowly seem to get it now?
