I just came across this striking image by Aleksandra Waliszewska, a polish graphic designer and artist. She has said that her work doesn’t carry any hidden symbols but is more interested in depicting states of emotion.
Press Pause Play documentary – Now online in full
September 30, 2011
Awhile back I had posted a teaser to the Press Pause Play documentary: A film about hope, fear and digital culture. It’s now available to view online and download through their website. There is a standard version but also an interactive version so while you’re watching, hotspots will appear (‘MORE’ button at the top right corner) which will give you:
EXTRAS that shows a longer interview with the person currently talking in the film.
- MORE WORKS shows additional videos from the artist/company currently on screen.
- A relevant WEBSITE of the person currently on screen.
- The music currently playing in the movie. By clicking on the artist’s name you will be
directed directly to their profiles (Spotify or Soundcloud).
Also when an artist first appears on the screen, an info tab will show up giving you a little blurb about that artist with accompanying links to their work.
The film is also available to purchase through iTunes and Amazon.

Saul Bass-inspired promo for Life & Fate
September 25, 2011
I love this intro for BBC’s Radio 4, Life and Fate, starring Kenneth Branagh and David Tennant. (A dramatization based on Vasily Grossman’s novel.)
Thirteen episodes will be broadcast from 18 to 25 September on Radio 4. This epic masterpiece, centred around the bloody battle of Stalingrad, charts the fate of both a nation and a family in the turmoil of war. Completed in 1960, the novel was deemed so dangerous by the KGB that the book itself was arrested. All the episodes are available to download.

Prohibition, the new Ken Burns documentary will premier first on PBS’s iPhone, iPod touch & iPad app (free) starting tomorrow (September 23 through Friday, October 7).
The show will be on the PBS network starting October 2-4. But those who don’t have access, the episodes will be streamed live on video.pbs.org at the same time.
PROHIBITION is a three-part, five-and-a-half-hour documentary film series directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick that tells the story of the rise, rule, and fall of the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the entire era it encompassed.
The culmination of nearly a century of activism, Prohibition was intended to improve, even to ennoble, the lives of all Americans, to protect individuals, families, and society at large from the devastating effects of alcohol abuse.

This morning my mom sent me a photo of a wildfire near her’s house off HWY 6 & Westheimer in Houston. You can see it from the freeway. I hope everyone evacuates safely, that’s a pretty big intersection.
