Another mix of archive and music, this time capturing the drugs, sex and politics of 1970. I forgot about Bunny Girls – they’re just weird! Especially when a bunch of them almost get run over by Hugh Hefner’s plane?!

This is interesting.
“Portents is an ambitious project bringing the different communities of Bristol together through public art. It will fill one of Bristol’s most iconic spaces, College Green, with a tent city of over 50 tents – each one printed with a design contributed by a different community from around Bristol. The result will be a great tent city – emblazoned with images and messages from around Bristol –a visual demonstration of the diversity that gives our city its strength.”

So I’d thought I’d celebrate by posting a bit of me-time.
I’ve been keeping an animated journal for about a year, and I edited the best ones together because DukeOfRochdale told me there was a Vimeo competition on.
Any Vimeo “likes” given may be rewarded with beer (normal terms and conditions apply).
Love to you all.

Rather than show you the image you just snapped and let you decide for yourself, this camera by Andrew Kupresanin (I found at the daily what) tells you if it was worth it or not, in friendly glowing numbers displaying a percentage “aesthetic rating”.
“As this novel technology improves and works its way into consumer devices, what effect will it have on individual preference and our creative process? Will new objects and possibilities arise?”
Once I got over the initial urge to stab my eyes out with forks at the thought of having my taste scored by an miniature committee android, I thought I’d actually quite like to have one of these cameras, precisely because translating aesthetic judgement into a percentage it is necessarily arbitrary, irrelevant, and hysterically funny. But why stop there? How about four lights for “agreeable” “beautiful”, “sublime” and “good”, also?, or plotting your selection on a Bourdieuan graph?
Anyway its a nice change from seeing the picture straight away, and a reminder, as I giggle at the numbers, that I have free will. Yes I definitely want one.

“An homage to the great Alvin Lucier, this piece explores the ’photocopy effect’, where upon repeated copies the object begin to accumulate the idiosyncrasies of the medium doing the copying. Full words: I am sitting in a room different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice as well as the image of myself, and I am going to upload it to YouTube, rip it from YouTube, and upload it again and again, until the original characteristics of both my voice and my image are destroyed. What you will see and hear, then, are the artifacts inherent in the video codec of both YouTube and the mp4 format I convert it to on my computer. I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a digital fact, but more as a way to eliminate all human qualities my speech and image might have.”

Jamie Lidell’s new album Compass came out a week or so back and ’tis wonderful listening if you like your soul with a fuzzy wooden shack vibe (the album was produce in part by Beck). Probably the best soul singer in the world today, Lidell can rock it anywhere as he & his band prove in the first few minutes of this clip (skip the bit with the French guy reading his hororscope)

Dear All,
The 28th May of this year 2010 will see the release of the sibylline, empyrean and eminently desirable iPad; on this day I will be hosting a small event to applaud and commemorate its portentous arrival. There will be music, beer, dancing and general rapturous saturnalia, in which your esteemed and effulgent participation would be most warmly received; partners are of course also welcome.
Further details and updates can be found on Facebook.
I look forward to sharing this beautiful moment with you, my friends.

Professor Al-Khalili’s ‘Secret Life of Chaos’ is one of the finest explanations you’ll ever likely see on television, dispelling the human fantasy of the existence of God forever.
Perhaps only 200,00 people will get see this very smart, yet simply presented set of ideas directed by Nic Stacey and Furnace Productions for the BBC.
Chaos Theory is a mindbending, counterintuitive and for many people a deeply troubling idea. But Professor Al-Khalili reveals the science behind much of beauty and structure in the natural world and discovers that far from it being magic or an act of God, it is in fact an intrinsic part of the laws of physics. Amazingly, it turns out that the mathematics of chaos can explain how and why the universe creates exquisite order and pattern.
Professor Al-Khalili, (now officially my second favourite TV Presenter) has one of the smartest pay-off lines on any science programme I’ve ever seen. “I can scientifically guarantee that I have know way of telling you what the future will hold”. That’s chaos.
The official webiste of Professor Jim Al-Khalili is www.al-khalili.co.uk
