Earthrise: The Photo that Launched a Movement Saturday, December 27th, 2008

earthrise cropped Earthrise: The Photo that Launched a Movement

It has been said that the pictures taken on Christmas Eve forty years ago created the environmental movement, that for the first time people really could see that we really were all together on one little boat floating in space. This was the first, the black and white shot. Historian Christopher Riley writes in the BBC that Frank Borman saw it: “Oh, my God! Look at that picture over there!” Then they ran for the colour film.

Soon it was on the cover of the first Whole Earth Catalogue, an icon of the movement. Nobody had yet even considered that it might be a vast photoshop job- it was a time when we believed our eyes.

The Dead, Absent, and Fictitous | LTTR Saturday, December 27th, 2008

the Dead, Absent, and Fictitous

from lttr.org:
LTTR is a feminist genderqueer artist collective with a flexible project oriented practice. LTTR produces an annual independent art journal, performance series, events, screenings and collaborations. The group was founded in 2001 with an inaugural issue titled “Lesbians to the Rescue,” followed by “Listen Translate Translate Record,” “Practice More Failure,” “Do You Wish to Direct me?,” and most recently “Positively Nasty” LTTR is dedicated to highlighting the work of radical communities whose goals are sustainable change, queer pleasure, and critical feminist productivity. It seeks to create and build a context for a culture of critical thinkers whose work not only speaks in dialogue with one another, but consistently challenges its own form by shifting shape and design to best respond to contemporary concerns. LTTR was founded in 2001 by Ginger Brooks Takahashi, K8 Hardy and Emily Roysdon. Ulrike Müller joined LTTR in 2005 and Lanka Tattersal was an editor and collaborator for issue 4.

The Paris Project Saturday, December 27th, 2008

The%20PARIS%20Project%20road%20sign%20 %20sticker%20 %20card The Paris Project

I relate The Paris Project to my two-years every-day experience in Bucharest as a “creative worker”, so to use Bourdieu’s nomination towards contemporary artists. Being a flâneur is the only way to survive in a metropolis that can not be reduced to a political-industrial existence anymore; the city, as Baudrillard puts it, is the space of sign systems, new media and codes. Using Guy Debord’s theory about the city stroller – dérive, detournement and integrated spectacular – I have explored certain parts of Bucharest that were once related to the city’s nomination of “Little Paris”. The purpose is simulating a missing reality, using nowadays given situations. The object that I’ve created, Paris, is a simulacrum that reifies the existence of an entire city and civilization. Strolling with Paris is part of the process of artification and gentrification implemented to certain parts of Bucharest.

from treehugger.com:

A young man melting into a puddle of himself is something you don’t see everyday, much less in a busy public square. Yet this humourous but surprisingly effective spectacle is the latest effort by the Red Cross of Argentina to raise awareness about climate change…full article
