A face in the crowd: the FSB is watching you! | openDemocracy
The FSB has set new goals: the emphasis is now on identifying individuals and building up a database of high quality video images of Russian citizens. The new CCTV systems will incorporate digital cameras with facilities for ‘intelligent video’, in other words, where the video surveillance system automatically performs an analysis of the captured video and compares it with images held in a database.

Cow-like packaging design for soy milk - Core77
Soy Mamelle's container, designed by Russian creative agency Kian, is meant to drive home the point that the soy-based product is milk-like. In an era when most food packaging takes great pains to sensorially divorce the end-product from the smelly animal it (in this case ostensibly) came from, the Soy Mamelle bottle adopts the form of a squeezable latex cow udder.

Bieke Depoorter, Belgium
‘For three periods of one month, I have let the Trans-Siberian train guide me alongside forgotten villages, from living room to living room. Some Russian words scribbled on a little piece of paper allowed me to be welcomed and absorbed in the warm chaos of a family. Accidental encounters led me to the places where I could sleep. The living room, the epicentre of their life, establishes an intimate contact between the Russian inhabitants. In this room, they sleep, eat and drink, as well as cry. For a brief moment, I was part of this. Their couch became my bed for one night. This way, I experienced transient, but very powerful, shared moments. We communicated without words. We understood each other somehow’.

magique !painstakingly precise laser-cuts made into the pages of a blank sketchbook. As the book is opened and its pages begin to turn, these cuts work together to form a spatial representation of the single, highly choreographed 90-minute shot that is Alexander Sokurov's film Russian Ark.
