created by Edwin de Koning amp Bart van der Ploeg together with Tim Walther Daniel Berio Joris de Jong Menno Vink and a few specialized freelancers Resolume was born because we wanted to VJ But we wanted to do it better Back in 1998 VJ-ing was done with VHS tapes and an mx50 video mixer so it was hard to quickly improvise video to music because tempo could not be adjusted or even reversed Effects were limited to what the mx50 had to offer We thought software would allow us to improvise more and be a better VJ We could not find any VJ software that did what we wanted back in 1998 so we started programming our own We quickly realized our software was much better than our VJ-ing so we work on Resolume full-time since 2002 Edwin de Koning and Bart van der Ploeg

intending to inform the citizens of the Democratic People s Republic of Korea about the dangers of Western propaganda The video s uploader known as Sabine reiterates a statement she gave to the Federal Police regarding the movie s origins She explains how the film was given to her by people claiming to be North Korean defectors whilst she was visiting Seoul Although the origins of Propaganda 2012 are contentious its power lies in the fact that much of its content attempts to avoid invented history Considering the media buzzwords associated with the alleged country of origin Propaganda 2012 turns a mirror onto the Western world and seeks to criticise its entire history and culture e from the genocide and imperialism of its past to the interventionism and consumerism of the modern era The movie s overall attitude seems to express an intention to educate shock and caution its audience into realising that people in the West are governed by a super-rich ruling class The one per cent who do not offer them true democracy but instead seek to invade and assimilate as many countries as possible whilst distracting their population with a smokescreen of consumerism celebrity and reality television This message is spread across the video s 17 chapters which each attempt to focus on specific examples of Western indoctrination and oppression The film is regularly punctuated by commentary from an anonymous North Korean professor and quotes from Western thinkers such as Noam Chomsky and Richard Dawkins Propaganda 2012 is certainly a film where the audience takes from it what they bring to it and a variety of emotions can be induced upon viewing Laughter cynicism outrage contemplation and reflection would all be adequate responses to the video s tough and often graphic portrayal of the complex world in which we are living Yet perhaps the most important thing to remember when watching the film is that the video is available to view uncensored on a largely unregulated world wide web and merely represents an extreme end of the vast spectrum of free expression Therefore during this festive end to an austere year enjoy Propaganda 2012 as an interesting and beguiling alternative voice that cries loudly against the dangers of religious consumerism and reminds us to remain humble and reflect on those less fortunate than ourselves Kieran Turner-Dave 17 December 2012

information as you ll find anywhere on the making of David Lynch s first feature film it has a few Lynchian qualities of its own For almost an hour and a half David Lynch sits down behind a microphone and reminisces about the six years his ragtag team spent putting the movie together But he does it in black-and-white in front of a curtain smoking like something out of an early-1950s television broadcast The ambient dull roar of an ill wind appears intermittently and inexplicably on the soundtrack Photographs flash by supporting some of Lynch s inspiring arduous and bizarre recollections Many of his stories deal with the nuts and bolts of bringing one s financially impoverished but creatively overflowing early movies into reality Colin Marshall 17 December 2012 Open Culture David

diverse and conceptual as Camper and Aesop Both brands though fundamentally different in their origins and sales offerings showcase a strong affinity to design Design plays an instrumental role in the consumer experience of their brand Choosing design innovation as a life style that applies not only to their product allows them to push the envelope for unique solutions with every new store they open In addition it is to note that Aesop often uses recycled materials or packaging elements creatively in new context What makes it special is the fact that they team with independent designers often locals reflecting best on local context in creating shop concepts ensuring each is totally unique in its setting in opposition to the trend of global uniformity omni form Fig 1 Aesop Brisbane

dreamworld at our The Creators Project New York 2011 where he performed alongside some fittingly fantastical installations like Zigelbaum Coelho s Six-Forty by Four-Eighty and Team Dis-Kinect s motion-mimicking puppet Engaged in a subtle dance with his MPD32 Nosaj wove together a pounding wistful set before projected visuals As surreal as that live experience was its visual component is nothing compared to what technology artist Daito Manabe has accomplished for Nosaj Thing s Eclipse Blue With support from The Creators Project and collaborating with Perfume choreographer MIKIKO Manabe created a dynamic virtual environment to serve as the backdrop for two dancers whose movements across the stage are amplified by the graphics behind them making each action feel larger and more

urban media facades to circulate artistic and socio-cultural content throughout the whole of Europe Media facades and digital big screens provide new opportunities for communication in the public space Through modern Information and communication technologies ICT they are membranes between the digital and the urban spaces All over the world we can evidence an increase of urban screens media facades and media technologies like mobile phones 5 9 of 7 billion people have meanwhile access to the internet What is the potential of urban media besides the commercial usage for advertisement How can they catalyse communication and awareness of our environments and contribute to a lively society How can we create an exchange between local scenes and neighbourhoods thus giving a voice to the public audience Which impact will they have for our global communities http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=2969 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:28:51 +1000 http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=2960 Researchers at IBM have revealed they are working on technology which will lead to consumers being shown tailor made adverts that reflect their personal interests Digital advertising screens are already appearing in train stations on bus stops and on the sides of buildings but currently they only show generic adverts for a handful of products The new advertising hoardings will behave like those in the film Minority Report starring Tom Cruise in which Cruise s character is confronted with digital signs that call out his name as he walks through a futuristic shopping mall John Anderton You could use a Guinness right about now one billboard announces as he walks past IBM claims that its technology will help prevent consumers from being subjected to a barrage of irritating advertising because they will only be shown adverts for products that are relevant to them Richard Gray 01 August 2010 Science Correspondent for The Telegraph Fig 1 Uploaded by lucazambrelli on 9 Mar 2008

has pushed through his work to step out of the shadow of his father Ridley Scott And now Luke Scott is transcending boundaries in video technology with a visually-arresting 20-minute short film Loom Shot in coordination with RED Camera the sci-fi short features Giovanni Ribisi and Jellybean Howie although cinematographer Dariusz Wolski just might be its star The film follows Ribisi s character Tommy - a lab tech who genetically modifies meat and begins a dangerous at-home experiment he struggles to perfect It ends with a monologue taken from the conclusion of Darwin s Origin of Species leaving many of the story s questions left unanswered There is grandeur in this view of life with its several powers having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one and that whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved says Howie s character Visually Scott - who directs for his father s production company RSA - gives nod to the filmmaker s 1982 classic Blade Runner shooting the piece in the tone and style of the dystopian thriller Constructed for 3D the piece was crafted to test the limits of the colour range and exposure allowing viewers to see fine details often lost in dark scenes RED initially presented Loom at the 2012 National Association of Broadcasters NAB Show this past April The company has since continued to screen the film and on Wednesday President Jarred Land released it online via REDUSER with a disclaimer
