Bjork+Gondry=Nan
Heres the latest vid from Gondry for Bjork.
I wonder what my late Nan would have made of this, as a girl she used to work in the cotton mills in Rochdale on very similar looking machines.

Are you feeling Listen Against
And if you Charlie Brooker fans like fucked up radio, here it comes. It’s kinda edgy at first ‘cos the BBC ’listen again’ service includes the news before the programme, but stick with it.
Listen Against then does your head in. (Look for the ‘listen again’ button on the right of the BBC page.) At first I thought how can the BBC do this, then I thought, mais oui, it’s aimed at me. I’m lovin’ it.

Photographer (or wallpaper of the month).
I’m a sucker for photography in general so when I discovered Gregory Crewdson I thought I should post something. He’s been around for a while – I’m just a little slow on the uptake. His work is very filmic, and surreal which gives it the feeling of something you would see in a particularly vivid dream.
Here’s a quote from the man himself: ‘I have always been fascinated by the poetic condition of twilight. By its transformative quality. Its power of turning the ordinary into something magical and otherworldly. My wish is for the narrative in the pictures to work within that circumstance. It is that sense of in-between-ness that interests me.’
And here’s what the V&A have to say: ‘Gregory Crewdson reworks the American suburb into a stage-set for the inexplicable, often disturbing, events that take place at twilight. In creating what he calls ’frozen moments’, he has developed a process akin to the making of a feature film. Operating on an epic scale, he uses a large crew to shoot and then develop the images during post-production.
Every detail of these images is meticulously planned and staged, in particular the lighting. In some instances, extra lighting and special effects such as artificial rain or dry ice are used to enhance a natural moment of twilight. In others, the effect of twilight is entirely artificially created.
All the images propose twilight as a poetic condition. It is a metaphor for, and backdrop to, uncanny events that momentarily transport actors from the homeliness and security of their suburban context.’
Check it…

See through user interface
Mitsubishi and Microsoft have developed a device that allows interaction with both the front and the back of the device. It uses a camera to display the shadows of the fingers being used at the rear on the front of the screen. Quite interesting as a user interface with additional scope for interaction goes.

Ideafixa
Here’s a link to a fantastic online illustration magazine called Ideafixa. Each of the 8 available issues is made up of illustrations and photographs centered around a particular theme. The above is a photo taken from the Metropolis issue.
Beware though – each issue works like a real magazine in that you have to flip pages manually which, when performed with a wacom pen, could lead to a RSI
