Playing off the theme of a recent video contest, « Transformation : Live and React », Julien Lassort and Matthieu Burlot (France) explored the human face, the most exposed and personal part of the human body. Their dynamic portrayal of 1000 and one faces is a mosaic of portraits and emotions that plays off of the power of faces seen close up.

"DAY ART calls into play arguments that mesh like gears. result that have the force of certainty...Conscious of its progress, proud of its past, sure of its future, day art advances in light and glory. By contrast, night art wanders blind. It hesitate, stumbles, recoils, sweats, wakes with a start. Doubting everything, it is for ever trying to find itself, question itself, pull itself back together. Night art is a sort of workshop of the possible where what will become the building material of art is worked out." (stolen from some scientific website; replacing art for science)

"Here Comes Everybody': What's Next On The Web"
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99126586
Talk of the Nation, January 8, 2009 · Social networking, user feedback and Tweeting are now common Web experiences. Clay Shirky, author of Here Comes Everybody, isn't surprised. He knows what works online, what doesn't, and why — and he just might know what's next.
"When we change the way we communicate, we change society," Shirky writes. "The tools that a society uses to create and maintain itself are as central to human life as a hive is to bee life. Though the hive is not part of any individual bee, it is part of the colony, both shaped by and shaping the lives of its inhabitants."
