My foot step

via N.Y.Times   "By itself, the moon landing 40 years ago would have made 1969 a year of historic proportions. But the flight of apollo 11 occurred against a backdrop of creativity and chaos, violence and hopefulness that seemed to define the decade of the 60's."


Strangely enough I was working yesterday on this animation that I created from a photo of my foot...
I woke up this morning and realize the connection with Neil Armstrong foot step...

Rhizome | Multiple Views: "Dan Graham: Beyond" at the Whitney Museum

via rhizome.org

“[E]xperience is not arrayed before me as if I were god, it is lived by me from a certain point of view; I am not the spectator, I am involved, and it is my involvement in a point of view which makes possible both the finiteness of my perception and its opening out upon the complete world as a horizon of every perception.”

–––Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Phenomenology of Perception, 1962
(Translation by Colin Smith
...
The Merleau-Ponty quote, according to Rosalind Krauss in “The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalist Museums,” marks a “radically contingent subject” that is caught within the horizon of unfolding, yet fragmentary, perceptions. For both, this seemingly paradoxical point of view is also indicative of an orientation in the world that prioritizes the body as the primary vehicle for experience and knowledge. This premise, it seems to me, is also one that underlies Graham’s early performances, and is evident Two Consciousness Projections(s) (1972), Public Space / Two Audiences (1976) and Opposing Mirrors and Video Monitors on Time Delay (1974), all of which are included in the Beyond exhibition.

Neda, Obama and the Power of Pictures

via ethicist.blogs.nytimes.com

The Issue:

At a White House press conference last week, a reporter asked President Obama about Iran and whether he had watched the video of Neda Agha-Soltan being shot in the chest and bleeding to death on a Tehran street. Obama said he had, and added: “It’s heartbreaking. It’s heartbreaking.” He went on to condemn Iran’s suppression of demonstrators, saying, “There are certain international norms of freedom of speech, freedom of expression.” That’s when the reporter Helen Thomas started to say, “Then why won’t you allow the photos…” referring, Obama understood, to photos of the abuse of detainees held abroad by the United States, photos whose release he has blocked. “Hold on a second, Helen,” he said. “That’s a different question.” But is it, really? If vivid images help us understand events, shouldn’t they be disseminated and seen?

DEADLINE post-it stop motion

via youtube.com
from bunliu  June 05, 2009

"This is my senior project at Savannah College of Art and Design. Where my idea comes from is that every time when I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those post-it notes and deadline. I manipulating the post-it notes to do pixel-like stop motion and there are some interactions between real actor and post-its."

Quotes from the video: 

We were inspired by the way messages on instant message applications like AIM.
Sharing these messages among groups in real-time seemed compelling.

We anticipated a simple form of social networking but a new form of communication
would continue to amaze us as Twitter gained adoption worldwide.

Information can take a very simple form -- Twitter delivers it to a network
of others in a timely fashion and  this can have profound impact.

Twitter is about the triumph of humanity, not  the triumph of technology.

The MarsPhoenix account was an endearing and famously successful endeavor for
NASA reminiscent of another shared experience --the moon landing.

"Starbuck, Ford and PepsiCo turning to blog site 'Twitter'  --FT"

From spontaneous fundraising for charitable giving to platform projects raising
venture capital, innovation and creativity are fueling an ecosystem.

Recognizing the difference between profit and value.

Bringing the real-time network to the weakest of signals around the world

Are the problems of tomorrow bigger than the entrepreneurs of today?
