How Do You Feel (About Art)?

A micro-documentary asking New Yorkers for a three word answer for a (seemingly) simple question ... 
only to reveal the rich complexity of art's impact on the human psyche.

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.

Hello Brooklyn

Typography geek Greg Solenström recently paired black and white photos of Brooklyn with Akzidenz Grotesk font and Jay-Z and Lil Wayne’s “Hello Brooklyn 2.0″ for a fan made tribute that I think could work as an official video...Check it ouuuuuut!

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.
