Fashion Shows

I just stumbled upon the Rock & Republic Fall 08 show called Noir and was pretty impressed by the stage setup as well as a lot of the clothes were pretty dope.

Also, you can go to the Rock & Republic website to see the full version in full screen. Definitely worth it.

Which also reminds me of the truly brilliant Diesel Liquid Space show from last year.

Hopefully this is the start of me getting back to a regular posting schedule again. I spent a couple months in Alberta visiting people and hitting up weddings so I wasn’t around the net much, but I’m back and settled into Vancouver now so things should start getting back to normal here.

I Admit Defeat

I’ve been getting extremely interested in programming as of late, particularly in regards to Flash AS3 and Processing. And within these two, I was getting extremely interested in their integration of sound analysis being tied to code-based visual experiments. There’s been a number of people doing some pretty amazing things already with code-based visuality, including Jared Tarbell, Eric Natzke, and of course the first major Flash code-artist superstar Joshua Davis (among many, many others). + Continue Reading

Couple of TED links…

I’ve been busy watching movies over at TED lately whenever I’m eating lunch or something as a break from work/friends/whatever, much more informative and entertaining that trying to find something on that useless thing we call the tv (although, really, I don’t even pay for cable and haven’t for about 4 years, so I guess that’s kind of a void point). Anyway, found a couple of gems that are worth looking at if you have some free time:

TED | Talks | Michael Pollan: The omnivore’s next dilemma :: this video makes me beg the question, why isn’t everyone switching over to this type of farming?

TED | Talks | Helen Fisher: The science of love, and the future of women :: interesting video on the actual bio-chemistry behind that infamous feeling that has been at the center of some of mankind’s greatest achievements as well as failures

TED | Talks | David Gallo: Underwater astonishments :: a brief talk that’s pretty interesting, make sure to watch near the end where he shows an octopus appearing out of an algae plant. I don’t think humans can claim to be very damn special until they can make something like THAT reality for us, hah.
