Links published in October 2007 — Going down ↓ is going back in time.
¶ American math rock band Battles collaborated with United Visual Artists for their Tonto video. The result is something I would like to see live. Music, photography and design makes Eric drool boy oh boy. Obviously not unlike UVA’s Volume installation at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
¶ For all you photography geeks out there, Sean T. McHugh’s site Cambridge In Colour has not only a gallery holding a vast amount of technically perfect HDR images and other digital combinations but also a few words on technique and quite a large number of theory articles and tutorials to try out if you’re slightly interested in digital photography (the depth of field technique is something i’m going to try out more often now). Well worth a look. (Thanks Adam)
¶ Paper folding, this one is for you Mister Evans: Shitdisco’s OK video. The ending is certainly the best. Something not unlike Donnie Darko’s visions.
¶ Photographer Andrew Zuckerman has quite the touch. Moving slowly from photography to film. The creatures series is being published this fall.
¶ Asako Narahashi’s photo series Half awake and half asleep in the water. Gorgeously simple.
¶ Collider’s Pogo video for Digitalism. Love that light and long exposures near the end.
¶ Le lien de la semaine (si pas du mois) est full local: Urbania, le magazine montréalais hip hip, et TV5 lancent aujourd’hui sur le web MTL12.com, “une nouvelle façon d’explorer la ville [de Montréal] où chaque incursion est l’occasion de faire connaissance des personnages qui incarnent ces endroits inusités, peu fréquentés ou tellement clichés qu’on ne les voit même plus.” Excellent travail de rédaction et de mise en forme. Et je peux enfin connaître la dynamique de ce qui se passe derrière les portes du 281.
¶ Inscribed in the living tile: an analysis of the type in the Toronto subway. In any case, Montreal’s doesn’t even come close to this. Type set in ceramic tiles is a necessary refinement for any subways system, may it be London, NY or Toronto.
¶ A Soviet Poster a Day : analysis and historical context for CCCP poster propaganda.
¶ Drains of Canada : an interview with urban explorer Micheal Cook.
¶ Hack-2-School : deux semaines après le début de vos ateliers, vous voici déjà dans un premier rush. Du calme, on lit le guide réconfortant et on se sent mieux après.
¶ Photographer Will Pearson has a great little collection of panoramic landscapes and a neat series of Quicktime VR, including a fashion photo shoot in Yungfuktoi, Japan. (Merci Francis)
