Wishery



Here’s the latest video remix from Australia-based audio-visual mash-up artist Pogo entitled Wishery. Here he takes Disney’s 1937 classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and splices it into a rich tapestry of sonic and visual symbiosis. 
His inaugural Disney remix Alice, created from Alice in Wonderland, is probably his most popular sample that has only been recently re-released back on the web after being removed for copyright issues with The Mouse himself!

Star Wars in 2D




Forget Star Wars 3D, paper animations are a labor of love. Eric Power, creator of the above video, loves to animate video games, but he may have out-nerded himself with a paper animation condensing the Star Wars trilogy into a 2:40 video. It’s actually a music video for Jeremy Messersmithbut the animation could easily stand alone. 


So, for all of you OT (that’s original trilogy) fans out there, here's a lo-fi song played to a very 2D music video.

pool party?

There was another heat wave this past weekend in London. Guess it's Summertime!

Which naturally brings to mind pool parties. Although, they were hard to find.  



Only this year, if you do find a pool party...firstly, let me know, and secondly, you need to take your pool-party atmosphere up a notch...the iPod sitting 75 feet from the water isn't cutting it.

You need The Wireless Waterproof MP3 Speaker, a sound system that doesn't mind getting a little wet.

Basically, this is the boom box that Aquaman would bring to any pool-related function thrown by the Super Friends. It's wireless, it runs on batteries, and it packs a 12-watt subwoofer and 3-watt tweeter range (that's Circuit City talk for "It sounds great").

So picture it: a backyard pool party festooned with attractive people in very little clothes, inflatable lounge chairs and some miscellaneous pairs of water wings. You show up with this audio game changer, connect an MP3 player to its transmitter and set the main unit a couple of feet from the pool ladder. Suddenly your Party Jamz compilation is turning that pedestrian game of water volleyball into a rousing match of chicken. Or at least Marco Polo.

And in the course of entertaining the undressed masses, should a particularly full cup of beer be dropped on top of it, it will keep playing songs, since it's waterproof.

5 things YOU can do to make a difference in the gulf oil spill


  1. Join more than 10,000 others and make your voice heard. 
Tell President Obama and Congress to restore the full moratorium on new offshore drilling in federal waters.
  2. Join thousands across America on June 26th as we come together to take a stand. 
On June 26 we are coordinating a nationwide event to oppose new offshore drilling. It’s called Hand Across the Sand. It will take place in all coastal states in the United States.
  3. Stay up to speed on spill details on the Surfrider blog: http://www.nottheanswer.org 
Stay tuned on the latest news, ways to participate in our Not The Answer campaign, and join the conversation about the disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico.
    Tweet! Related, a few relevant Twitter feeds to add to your mix are: @surfrider @envirosurf @bpglobalpr @skytruth @jimmoriarty


@chadenelsen Tweet about oil spill using #oilspill
  4. Volunteer in Florida and Gulf. If you live in the Gulf or Florida regions you can document what you see and find with our Spill Tracker here:
    If you’re in this area and have never connected with a local chapter, now is a great time to do it. Find the local dozen chapters in the Gulf and in Florida:http://www.surfrider.org/chapters.asp



  5. Support alternatives. Engage. 

The United States has 3% of the world’s oil and uses 20% of the world’s oil. We cannot drill our way to national security. We need to find alternatives. 70% of oil is used for transportation. For one thing, we need use less fuel. If you drive a vehicle getting low MPG, think about that choice and what it means. If you can use make a phone call, Skype or video conferencing instead of flying, understand these choices save massive amounts of fuel. If you hear about local, state and national governments looking to invest in alternative energy solutions… pay attention.

Volcanoes Can be Arty Too


Iceland, Eyjafjallajökull - May 1st and 2nd, 2010 from Sean Stiegemeier on Vimeo.



Eyjafjallajökull's ash started flying all over the place again recently, but has settled down. Meanwhile, while everyone attempted to scramble away from Iceland, Sean Stiegemeier flew over to be right where the action was. After 8 days of flight/weather drama, he was able to capture this stunning footage of the volcanic hellion and its smoke-stack spews. A Sigur Rós’s Jónsi track accompanies the time lapse, but here’s a Mastodon song you can play along instead.

Blasting Tunes like it's 1904

iVictrola - iPhone Phonograph


Fridays are about doing crazy things and looking really ridiculous and recovering in time for brunch on Saturday.  And Saturdays tend to be about the same thing, but recovering for brunch on Sunday.

So it's appropriate that today, after what I hope was a fabulous weekend for you all, I introduce to you the iVictrola, a new handmade iPod dock that combines a vintage Magnavox phonograph horn and your love for retro electronics, now available.

First of all, I will make it clear: it's not electric. At all. There's no outlet, no plug, no fuss.

Just like the phonographs of old, the iVictrola uses a giant metal horn to capture the music coming from your iPod and crank it out with a touch of historical flair (I'm guessing the RCA dog would be just as mesmerized by this).

All you have to do is drop your iPod or iPhone into the open slot on the hand-constructed walnut base, make sure your volume is up, and the dock does the rest. Ta-da! Sound is caught by the bottom of the horn and reverberates up the cone via the natural conductivity of metal—and the resulting quality will be eerily similar to the kind flappers and hip-cats danced to back in the Roaring '20s.

This may be the best way to finally introduce your grandmother to Jay-Z.

Gelato, Sorbet, and Fro-Yo on a Stick!

If you're in New York, there might be an excess of licking in the West Village this summer. 


The culprit: a new form of popsicle-ized gelato/sorbet/frozen yogurt called the PopBar, sold at a new shop dedicated to popsicles (5 Carmine Street, at Sixth Ave). Eat them plain or dipped in nuts, biscotti, brownies or chocolate. 


All of this will be familiar to anyone who’s been to Italy’s various Stick House locations, but owners Reuben BenJehuda (an Italian who has worked in fashion for the past decade or so) and Daniel Yaghoubi (a German record producer) are making it a point to use hormone-free milk, real fruit (lemon, blood orange, mango, berries, peach, etc.), and no additives. And one last thing may help them stick it to the competition: Their coffee is Stumptown.


Even if you don't eat them at all, be prepared to buy them for friends in sundresses.

Brandy Smuggler Walking Cane Flask

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

You miss your plane, you commandeer a chopper. Your cocktail is offensively subpar, you hop behind the bar.

And now, if the stadium only stocks cheap overpriced beer, you fake a limp and hobble with purpose. Bear with me...

Introducing the Brandy Smuggler Walking Cane Flask, available to meet your smuggling needs.

Consider it the best reason to fake a limp since you played the role of Keyser Söze in a Tony-winning adaptation of The Usual Suspects. In short, it's exactly what it sounds like: an aluminum, gold-handled cane that's been hollowed out to fit not one, but five two-ounce flasks, which you can then fill with the beverage of your choosing. (Just hope no one asks why your cane is making a swishing sound.)

It's not hard to see how this would come in handy. You can use the flasks to mix and match—two bourbons, two scotches and, why not, one champagne. Oh, better yet - half with champagne, half with OJ and start making mimosas!! And it's all housed inside an innocent-looking cane made by Harvy, the same brand that probably made your grandparents' walking sticks.

Respect your elders.

Det Snurrar I Min Skalle

I found this via my friend, Zeeg.  It's pretty sweet.  Familjen a.k.a. Johan T Karlsson, a Swedish techno/electropop artist, has blown my mind with the video for the song ‘Det Snurrar I Min Skalle’. That is Swedish for ‘It’s Spinning Inside My Head’. Directed by Johan Söderberg, the video is a mash-up remix of footage from a tent revival. I am hesitant to even use the term mash-up because this is so far beyond what your typical media mash-up has become. Open your eyes and ears and enjoy!



**Where do you start to look for archived footage like this? There are probably so many gems out there waiting to be reborn into modern magic!

Environmental Graffiti is the online website that is based in the UK and provides a range that is nothing short of stupendous, with posts on everything from bamboo architecture and the most psychedelic river on Earth (located in Colombia’s Sierra de la Macarena) to the long history of gunpowder weaponry and how the CIA caused mass insanity in a French town by spiking bread with LSD. Eye-catching photo galleries and videos supplement fascinating lists, such as the 35 greatest works of reverse graffiti (amazing!) and the world’s most terrifying spiral staircases.
You can apply for an account to write stories, but anyone can read them! So, browse the site and follow Environmental Graffiti on Twitter. Woo!

eardrum pick-me-up.

Sometimes it’s two o’clock in the morning, like it is right now in London, and your eardrums need a pick-me-up. 
...Or a sucker punch. Check out PowerSolo, a Danish rockabilly punk duo that sounds kind of like Green Day might if they didn’t get old and start writing Broadway musicals. Also, like all good punk rockers, the boys aren’t afraid to get naked for the sake of an album cover.

...Or have a listen to Nigerian-born, Germany-based rising soul star Nneka who crosses continents musically as easily as she does physically. Mixing the emotional transparency of Lauryn Hill with her African influences, Nneka makes music that presents her as both a fresh voice and a positive political force. Catch a show...she'll be in London tomorrow - April 28 - at Scala. 

Goodnight.

Earth from Above



Launching soon in Bryant Park is a month-long exhibition called Earth From Above by French environmentalist and photographer, Yann Arthus-Bertrand, that coincides with the global Earth Day celebration. 120 large-scale aerial photos will be displayed vertically along the park’s walkways in not-so-subtle reference to The Gates, the public art installation by Christo and Jeanne-Claude that hit Manhattan in 2005. Arthus-Bertrand, a UN Environmental Program Goodwill Ambassador, aims to “illuminate” Earth’s beauty while inspiring audiences to care for the planet’s natural resources. Also, his colorful, abstract prints are really, really pretty.
Though the Bryant Park exhibition has been postponed from its original April 2 start date, the exhibition is intended for wide view, and Arthus-Bertrand envisions his images traveling throughout other US cities in 2010 to launch the first US Tour of Earth From Above.  Since its Paris premiere in 2000, Earth From Above has been seen on every populated continent by more than 130 million visitors in over 120 cities including London, Tokyo, Berlin, Seoul, Beirut, Moscow, Sydney, Mexico City, Montreal, Stockholm, and Reykjavik. Each photo is accompanied by captions that link the image to the environmental and social issues at stake, “inviting the onlooker to consider sustainable development as the solution to the challenges brought into focus.” On the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, this April 22, Arthus-Bertrand’s imagery presents a compelling argument for sustaining the planet as we know it. If you're in New York, check it out...it's free, day and night, rain or shine!

The Quotable Douchebag

We've all said things we regret.

Not you, of course. Every word from your mouth is like a pearl of wisdom inside a shell of... even more wisdom.

The same cannot be said for Gene Simmons.

Which takes me to The Quotable Douchebag, a fine collection of bons mots from some of the world's douchiest people, online now.

Let me be clear: this is a ramshackle collection of the most haughty, self-important quotes of all time. (Why yes, John Mayer is quoted at length.)

Suffice it to say, these are quotes from some of the brightest minds of our time. To wit: "Osama bin Laden is the only one who knows exactly what I'm going through." (R. Kelly, of course.) "I know who I am. No one else knows who I am. If I was a giraffe and somebody said I was a snake, I'd think, 'No, actually I'm a giraffe.'" (Richard Gere.) And, perhaps, the best (by which I mean worst): "There are many dying children out there whose last wish is to meet me."

Stay classy, Hasselhoff.

Banksy : Graffiti Deity

Street artist, situationist and public-space japester Banksy is famed for his snogging coppers, simpering apes and for debunking Israel's new West Bank barrier with graffiti. Now he takes his career of radical cheek into the cinema with a hilarious new documentary, Exit Through The Gift Shop, which was being shown in early March at the director's own pop-up cinema in an underpass in London's Waterloo before moving on to more conventional locations...


You should know up front that this isn’t a movie about Banksy. It is, however, a film about street art, and more specifically, about an enigmatic/hipster French clothing store owner in LA named Thierry Guetta. Some folks may know him as the artist Mr. Brain Wash, a very successful commercial street artist. But this predates Mr. Brain Wash, and goes back to the late 1990s, when Thierry was merely a man obsessed with capturing his entire life on video - odd, I know. But, as it turned out, his cousin was an up-and-coming street artist called Space Invader, who worked nights in France and LA, decorating the town with cute little pixel aliens...haha. So, upon spending time with Space Invader, Thierry became obsessed with street artists, eventually meeting up with the likes of Shepard Fairey and others, eventually even Banksy. So thennn, what started as a seemingly pointless endeavor for Thierry soon became something much more important: that for the first time, someone was capturing the masters of street art including in their element, operating in a legal gray area and peppering major cities with often beautiful works of art. After years of filming, Thierry put together a film to show Banksy as one of his biggest fans. In a word, it was atrocious (clearly Thierry wasn't a filmmaker no matter how hard he tried). So instead of letting that be the authoritative work on street art, Banksy decided to take Thierry’s tape and turn it into Exit Through the Gift Shop.

Free Energy

I have fallen in love with these Philly-based boys and their band, "Free Energy."  James Murphy may have produced their debut album, but they don't sound like most DFA bands (don't get me wrong, I love the DFA artists, but these guys are different -- they're guitar-based and lack turntables, for one).  Still, the spirit is the same: JUBILANT! It's awesome! Their lead-in single is the band's namesake ("Free Energy"), which is usually a warning sign, but their album, Stuck on Nothing, proved that the guys have plenty of equally rad material!

Kapoor vs. Eifel

anish kapoor
Designs for what will be Britain's biggest piece of public art, a 120 metres tall looping tower by the artist Anish Kapoor that people will be able to climb, giving spectacular views of London, were unveiled by Boris Johnson, mayor of London.
Kapoor's Orbit, a vast, snaking steel structure, will dominate the 2012 Olympic park. It is being hailed as London's answer to the Eiffel tower and is part of an ambition to make the Olympics site a permanent visitor attraction.
Kapoor won the commission from a shortlist of bidders believed to include only the greatest artists such as Antony Gormley and the architects Caruso St John. Johnson said of Kapoor: "He has taken the idea of a tower and transformed it into a piece of modern British art. It would have boggled the minds of the Romans. It would have boggled Gustave Eiffel."
The structure will cost about £19.1m. Johnson said: "Of course some people will say we are nuts – in the depths of a recession – to be building Britain's biggest ever piece of public art. But both Tessa Jowell [Olympics minister] and I are certain that this is the right thing for the Stratford site, in games time and beyond."
Kapoor has collaborated on the project with his friend Cecil Balmond, one of the world's leading structural engineers. Approximately 1,400 tonnes of steel will be used. The plan is for work to begin soon with a completion date of December 2011.
Kapoor said one of his references was the Tower of Babel. "There is a kind of medieval sense to it of reaching up to the sky, building the impossible. A procession, if you like. It's a long winding spiral: a folly that aspires to go even above the clouds and has something mythic about it."

5 second films

Firstly,  apologies to my email subscribers for yesterday's email, as a second post from a few weeks ago about a Philips de Pury auction that I had edited was accidently included.


On another note, I have found 5 Second Films: a hilariously fast-paced, daily online video series that injects off-the-wall humor into micro-shorts!  It is updated every weekday and the selection of clips really ranges from profanity-laced action to bizarre skits.  My possible ADD is cured, and it's all thanks to the founder, Brian Firenzi, and his taste for the absurd.  The rules are simple: 2 seconds of opening title, five seconds of action on film, and one second of end credits... and he said that "if you take umbrage with these 5sfs running at an actual length of 8 seconds, we can only assume you're no fun at dinner parties."


Enjoy.

From time to time, you could use a little help. (We all could, really).

Not with the big things—your secret plan to become the next Tommy Wiseau and recreate The Room is coming right along. But with the tiny things that make every day just a little bit harder.

I have good news...there is someone willing to do all those things for you. Can you believe it?! And the best part: they're only charging five bucks!

It's all at Fiverr.com, a new website that lists people willing to do just about anything for $5, online now.

Think of it as the cheap (but legal) labor pool your budding empire so desperately deserves—not to mention an easy way to see just what people are willing to do for five bucks. Go to the site, and post whatever it is you need done—opening your fan mail, spreading rose petals at your feet, pre-tying your ties—and see if anyone's willing to do it. Don't worry about negotiating—everything costs no more -- and no less -- than $5.

And for those needs you're not even aware of, you can scan the list of things that people are willing to do. The current offers include everything from people willing to play a song for you on a radio station in Clovis, New Mexico, or draw a monster hanging out with you, to taking you out clubbing in Copenhagen.

A $10 value.

AnyClip  is a handy treasure trove of movie clips that will keep you from saying "What did that guy say in that movie?" ever again.

In short, it's an exhaustive video library of the juiciest bits from your favorite movies, including everything from Scarface (say it with me: "Say hello...") to obscure gems.

You can search by actor, director, even object—which also provides handy proof that there are more movies with guns than sandwiches. And if for some reason they don't have a clip yet, you can usually find a snippet from the screenplay to remind you of the quote you're looking for.

Oh, and nobody puts Baby in a corner.

Sex Sells

Phillip de Pury & Company’s SEX auction of erotic artwork in London netted more than $2 million on 19 March 2010. Ironically, there was a 69 percent sell-through rate by lot; but in auction terms, that rate is considered modest at best. While some experts referred to the achieved prices as flaccid, the sale did manage to generate a lot of press — particularly for a 1992 pantsless picture France’s first lady, Carla Bruni, by Helmut Newton.

it's the Ziploc

Canadian singer/songwriter k-os has just released Yes!, his fourth studio album, stateside; it’s an evolved mix of his signature funk, hip-hop, rock, and soul. Born Kevin Brereton to Trinidadian parents in a Toronto suburb, k-os encountered diverse musical influences, which have since shaped a vision of music that’s genre-skirting and overwhelmingly positive. (Jaded toe-tappers need not apply.) It's fantastic.
Now that Canada got the gold for Hockey, maybe it's 2010: The Year of the Canadian Freshness.


His new video "4 3 2 1" is amazing and the director is Drew Lightfoot -- a brilliant dude.  You should check out his website. What might be surprising to you is that it's a stop-motion video. There are 12 shots per frame, so you have to bend over and hold – 1,2,3,4,5 – twelve times. What a labour of love! But I imagine it would be pretty fun to play around with it.


k-os On Canadian camaraderie in a recent interview: 
"I keep saying Canada is like the fridge, man. Canada’s what? It’s a fridge! It’s fresh! It’s locked and ready to go. So when Michael J. Fox shows up out of the Ziploc bag in Back to the Future, he’s got such a fresh persona. And Seth Rogen and Michael Cera and Superbad, when those guys come out of the Ziploc, it’s like what is this? So what Americans need to know about Canada in 2010: it’s the Ziploc.  When this record comes out in America, and people get hip to it, I might even be a new artist to people. Even though I’ve been doing my thing in the fridge for ten years. So it’s cool."

Love it.
Make sure you check the Ziploc :)

31 Women in Art Photography

Chuck Close may find this year’s Armory Show “dull and ordinary,” but the great thing about Armory Week in New York is the plethora of art events happening all over the city!! Right this very second. One more for the agenda is 31 Women in Art Photography, curated by crack team Charlotte Cotton and Jon Feinstein in conjunction with Humble Arts Foundation and Affirmation Arts. This is the second edition of the female-friendly group show, produced to coincide with Women’s History Month and culled from a “vast number” of open-call entries. Eclectic in subject matter, the show’s commonality is the label of emerging talent, which in this case means pearls, not swine.
