Looking up the Internet for this (re)Actor2: The Second International Conference on Digital Live Art - Leeds, UK conference, I’ve found one very interesting woman. Kind of what I’d like to have done after the next 10 years.
One of the ideas I thought it would be good to develop (not that I’ve taken the time or the money to do it … oooh, hate myself in this kind of moments) is the one of online video conference portal.
This VideoLectures.net video portal is one very interesting website to look for in the following months. I think it has the spark that might turn itself into a great project.
Would you research such a site in order to learn for school or work related stuff?
As if I sensed something in the dusty air of Bucharest 
, more precisely of Apple’s update of iPod’s screen with the one of the most praised iPhone ;;) … I just bought myself a little and very precious sidebed lamp for late at night novels and art/psychology/computer reading.
The one and only Vico Magistretti’s 1965 revival of white DALU lamp ….
Great design asks for great design in return , or so they say
As a curiousity, did you know the image of Uncle Sam has its 194th birthday today ? 
Happy birthday!
The work, entitled “For the Love of God,” is a skull cast in platinum and encrusted with 8,601 diamonds. Carbon dating has shown that the original skull on which Hirst’s work is modelled dates to the 18th century.
hmm.. that’s interesting. I’ve seen in Oslo Hirst’s famous works of the cut in half cow … didn’t know about him at that time, and the work just struck me with all its raised questions: what is art, what can we use as art material, what is life, what is the difference between eating a cow and exhibiting it… and how is it to be into a cow’s body …
He is the type of artist that will challenge vision and not craftsmanship, and has done it with such great power.
What is your take on such an art display?
I love the look of the site even though i did not understood the landing page: it was in portugese, has a version in english also, but by the time I got to the english page I was even more confused about the toilet in the logo 
…
Now WC stands for Wind Catchers, but also for toilet so the artist had a bright idea : why not place the damn toilet in the logo so noone will make bad jokes on it
Daring and well done!
Anyone knows other examples of plain self-irony logos? That kind of list would be interesting to see
