Ideas Have Legs: Andy Martin
Andy Martin’s site is full cool stuff.
I especially like Rag & Bone.
I bought his book Ideas Have Legs: Ian McMillan Vs Andy Martin from FUEL the other day.
I then dropped in the bath. It looks even better!

Jibber and Twitch
A good friend of mine, who is a Cardiacs aficionado, sent me some links to them rehearsing new material.
I’m digging the bass players dress sense, and may decide to follow that fashion myself. I like to keep up with the latest thing, you know.

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…

Interactive Mural thingy
It’s different every time according to the movements of the person walking by it. I resist the temptation to say anything about what it’s advertising and only marvel at its beautiful transience.

The Mesopotamians by They Might Be Giants
Have no idea what the song’s like as I lack headphones at the mo, but the video looks great and anything featuring the name Gilgamesh gets my vote.

Snap
Was walking home yesterday and spotted this gallery run by local printmakers – their window is well worth peeking through, as is the website – especially the link to how they refitted the building.
It’s next to The Ship pub on Park Row

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.

Genius!?
Here are 2 examples of what may or may not be genius.
The pic is by Justin Quinnel, from right here in Bristol. He took it and about another 60 images with a specially built pin-hole camera and put them in a book. His site is here.
The youtube vid is the latest Gucci perfume ad by David Lynch. He did it for the cash apparently…

UPDATE! apologies for the lack of embeddedness on the youtube movie – think the blog is playing up! HERE is a link to it instead
