… about life. Le Grand Content, a film by Clemens Kogler, examines the omnipresent Powerpoint-culture in search for its philosophical potential:
“Why dogs chase their own tails: High Cholesterol
Veterinarians have discovered an interesting connection between dogs who chase their own tails and their blood cholesterol levels. In a study published in the Journal of Small Animal Practice, researchers took blood samples from 15 healthy dogs that were compulsive tail chasers, along with samples from 15 healthy dogs that did not chase their tails. When their samples were analyzed, the tail chasers were found to have significantly higher levels of blood cholesterol
Researchers theorize that cholesterol affects the cell membranes which control the flow of brain hormones. Previous studies have shown a correlation between high cholesterol levels and certain behavioral problems in humans.”

The idea of the Hamburg based agency Nordpol+ was to embark on an odyssey through a magical landscape showcasing purity of design above all else. The upshot: a visual journey that is part rollercoaster ride and all madcap adventure.
The expedition begins with the camera following a lone, floating dandelion seed. Slowly, the environment emerges: the trees are vases, the flowers blanketing a hillside are really spherical lamps. Bright PS patterns bedeck the earth below. Nestled along a ledge, cleverly clustered PS couches preen in the sun. A skyline of clocks and bookcases appears as the camera tilts and swoops, speeds and slows—playfully lingering over a divine detail here and there before racing on.
And then we enter an ocean realm where cups and bowls swim in schools like fish, peppermill “coral” abounds, and the murky deep is lit up by glowing, jellyfish-like lamps. The journey ends as the dandelion seed finally finds its home in a signature, sphere-shaped lamp.
Screening in selected Berlin and Hamburg cinemas until March 19 (when it also opens in other cities), the film invites the viewer to experience a funky, unmistakably IKEA world … one Parasol had great fun bringing to life.

“Cole Sear: I see dead people.
Malcolm Crowe: In your dreams?
[Cole shakes his head no]
Malcolm Crowe: While you’re awake?
[Cole nods]
Malcolm Crowe: Dead people like, in graves? In coffins?
Cole Sear: Walking around like regular people. They don’t see each other. They only see what they want to see. They don’t know they’re dead.
Malcolm Crowe: How often do you see them?
Cole Sear: All the time. They’re everywhere.”

A ideia base do Museu Virtual da RTP, parte de uma visita guiada por diversos espaços, objectos, imagens, vídeos e documentos, possibilitando ao utilizador ‘viajar’ de uma forma graficamente apelativa e funcionalmente interactiva, proporcionando uma experiência agradável e cativante sobre o mundo da rádio e televisão.

Aqui ficam algumas fotos do making-of do próprio museu, nomeadamente a sessão de fotografias realizada pelo Francisco Matias (Fotógrafo que está a colaborar com a Wiz para este projecto), responsável pelas excelentes imagens de alguns dos objectos de Tv e Rádio que podem encontrar em http://museu.rtp.pt.
Para quem (como eu) procura um “gestor de afazeres for dummies”, descobri hoje e já recomendo o Doomi.
Tem um nome baril, alertas e um funcionamento mesmo mesmo muito muito simples.
Não é nada chato e é baseado na tecnologia Adobe Air.
Cool.
Kutiman, the masterful Israeli funk musician and producer, outdoes himself by creating Thru-You: Multiple YouTube clips (mostly instructional and performance videos) edited into slick mega-mashups. They’re not just patchwork assemblages, they’re sample-based original creations that coud hold their own on anyone’s album… Plus they’re 100% audiovisual! It’s a work of next-level genius.
