Ritalin
August 4th, 2010This is the music video for Ritalin by Dancing Pigeons. It was directed by Tomas Mankovsky. All I’m saying is … flamethrower vs fire extinguisher.

If the title of this post rings a bell, then you’re on the right track. Helena Dams, a new media student at the Merz Akademie, did some extensive research on the pictures of cute cats phenomena. She made this incredible diagram of the relations between major online cat memes. The social networks specialist Ethan Zuckerman noted: “Web 1.0 was invented to allow physicists to share research papers. Web 2.0 was created to allow people to share pictures of cute cats.”

TRAILBLAZERS is a live web surf event where you can show off your PRO surfing skills. No keyboard, no google, just pure links! At the event, the participants use a prepared computer with a modified browser: the address bar is removed and each click on a link is tracked by a counter. The goal is to get from one website to an other one by just clicking on links. The winner is the one who had to click the least links. TRAILBLAZERS is a project by Theo Seeman, an interface design/new media student at the Merz Akademie in Stuttgart, Germany. That’s also where the first event took place. One of the missions was to browse form http://imdb.com to http://thepiratebay.org, an other was to browse from http://web.mit.edu/ to http://icanhascheezburger.com/. The next event will be at ARS Electronica in Linz, Austria, September 3rd. I would participate if I was around! TRAILBLAZERS is a brilliant idea!

Fountain 193 is a 12 minutes long video made by Cinthia Marcelle. It’s just a firefighter truck constantly driving in a perfect circle while its hose is shooting water to the centre of the geometric figure, provoking the image of a fountain in reverse.
