Heartdew

Heartdew

Perhaps it is the subtly pinkish tone inherent in all of the photography, but heartdew.net seems a very apt named for the site.

Tara Donovan, Mundane to Magical

Stevie Wonder Meets Kokiriko Bushi

A crazy disco remix of a classical Japanese folk song and a little bit of Stevie Wonder, all put together with a bad (keygen-esq) midi synth background score.

Sound appealing? Wait, there’s more…

The video is animated by the surrealist oddball Teppei Maki, and is as odd as it is surreal.

Georgia Russell’s Library

Le Mariage Parfait by Georgia Russell

Scottish artist Georgia Russell creates these wonderful encased sculptures by taking scalpel to books, magazines, currency, maps and basically anything else printed.

She has been pretty busy working on the ‘Library Series’ since I last saw her work, that’s a lot of paper slicing in half a year.

Rio Blanco: The Mine and the Farmer

Rio Blanco: The Mine and the Farmer

This is where I will be tomorrow evening, watching the premier screening of Rio Blanco: The Mine and the Farmer, the culmination of many hours filming, editing and re-editing by a couple of my good friends; Dave McNulty and Mikey Watts.

Back when I was a student, Mikey gave me an email from some unknown location in the north of Peru saying “dude, some guy’s just been shot in cold blood, you have to come out here with a camera”. Fantastic invitation I thought; with little experience behind a camera, and zero experience making documentaries; we decided to give it a go.

The public Facebook invitation is here, which has all of the details on where to go for a crazy South-American flavoured evening.

Rational Exploration of the Undersea, the contact by Philippe Ramette
