PUBLIC MARKS with search fans

Obviously we're big fans of photographer Roger Ballen’s dark and disturbing black and white photographs here at Phaidon. So we were pleased to get a call from him this morning telling us about this music video he's just directed for Cape Town hip hop trio, Die Antwoord. The band's music is characterised by its Zef references (Zef being South African slang for modern and trashy, with lots of knowingly discarded cultural references). Ballen of course is famous for his psychologically charged and unsettling images from South Africa of individuals marginalised from society often depicted in the setting of strange, cell-like rooms. So how did the coupling come about?

"I think some fans are hoping we'll end up with eight books. Well, it's grown in the past—I'm not going to say those fans are wrong. When I started out, it was a trilogy. Back in 1994 when I sold this, it was going to be A Game of Thrones, A Dance with Dragons, The Winds of Winter—three books. But that scheme went out the window before I'd even finished the first book. I think it was Tolkien who said when he was writing The Lord of the Rings, "The tale grew in the telling."

Ça va en faire de la page au final

J'en reparlerai plus tard mais la série se bonifie au fil des épisodes et je ne serais pas contre une saison 2. Je croise donc les doigts

An die gute alte Vinylscheibe erinnern sich nur noch eingefleischte Fans, und auch die CD scheint ein Auslaufmodell zu sein. Musik wird heutzutage hauptsächlich in digitaler Form konsumiert – ob als Audiodatei auf dem MP3-Player oder auch über den Computer.

Superman Earth One has polarized fans of the Man of Steel, with some finding it a worthy “rebooting” of the venerable character, and others believing it is little more than pandering to today’s Twilight-obsessed tweens and teens.

Our challenge was to give HP technology relevance in times when actions speak louder than any media buy. So we built a website that is literally as tall as Mt. Kilimanjaro (19,340 ft, or 16,709,709 pixels), where fans could track a group of celebrities and activists climbing the world’s tallest free-standing mountain to raise awareness for the global clean water crisis. The climbers used HP technology to amplify their message to the rest of the world, sharing their photos, clips and tweets on the site in real time. The 16,709,760-pixel Web site allowed fans to climb with the team in real time. You could follow their photos, videos and tweets along the way, as well as track their vitals, their position on the mountain and the current weather conditions. Most important, you could donate water by sponsoring a foot of their climb. Description ici : http://www.myawardshows.com/2010/andys/summit_website/
