Merci Mamie ©

Et soudain à l’horizon de nos chimères d’urbains passablement blasés que voyons-nous? Des frusques que nous n’aimerons plus dans quelques saisons? Des visages dont la grâce se sera évanouie en un battement de faux cils ? Alors vers qui se tourner? Vers quoi? Vers l’enfance, cette délicieuse contrée de plaisirs sucrés où tout n’était que jeu. En ce royaume oublié régnait une femme. Mamie. De ses longues mains osseuses et dans la lueur bleutée de ses cheveux, mamie nous choyait comme des bienheureux en nous faisant croire que cette vie durerait toujours. Mamie fut notre muse, notre bienfaitrice à tous. Merci Mamie est un hommage à cet âge d’or perdu, à ces femmes qui nous faisaient entrer quelques semaines de vacances par an dans l’illusion de l’innocence. Merci mamie est un manifeste contre la jeunesse en perte de valeurs et d’idéaux. Mamie est là quelque part, elle vous ouvre son cœur.

Snapshots of Israel - FT.com

How to Approach a Responsive Design | Upstatement

by 2 others
So I’ve got a confession to make: When we started working on the new Boston Globe website, we had never designed a responsive site before. This shouldn’t come as some huge shock. I mean, raise your hand if you’d built a full responsive site back in November 2010. (You can put your hand down now, Mr. Marcotte, that was rhetorical.) Since so few had done it — and certainly not on this scale — we kind’ve made things up as we went along. In fact, the entire Boston Globe team worked in a laboratory environment.1 Here at Upstatement, we experimented with how to solve design and layout problems within a responsive framework. We learned a helluva lot as we went, like how to choose the right design software, strategies for thinking through breakpoints, and some best practices for designing in the browser. Ready? Good. Cos here we go …

Roger Ballen directs Die Antwoord video | Photography | Agenda | Phaidon

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?

RVB BOOKS

A l’heure où les “ réseaux sociaux ” sont probablement devenus le principal véhicule de circulation de l’image photographique, The Significant Savages propose une incursion dans l’univers des “ images de profils ”, en se concentrant sur la manière dont celles-ci sont utilisées pour résumer la personnalité de chacun, en particulier lorsqu’elles évitent de montrer le visage de l’utilisateur. Le livre est construit à partir d'une sélection de photographies de profils Facebook dans lesquels toutes sortes d'objets sont représentés en lieu et place de l'usager : vues maritimes, forêts ; chiens, chevaux et chats ; motos ou bateaux luxueux ; villes tentaculaires, chaussettes et coquillages, galaxies.

A l’heure où les ‘réseaux sociaux’ sont probablement devenus le principal véhicule de circulation de l’image photographique, The Significant Savages propose une incursion dans l’univers des ‘images de profil’, en se concentrant sur la manière dont celles-ci sont utilisées pour résumer la personnalité de chacun, en particulier lorsqu’elles évitent de montrer le visage de l’utilisateur. Le livre est construit à partir d'une sélection de photographies de profil Facebook dans lesquels d’autres objets sont représentés en lieu et place de l'usager: vues maritimes, forêts; chiens et chevaux et chats; motos ou bateaux luxueux; villes tentaculaires, chaussettes et coquillages, galaxies. Les objets que nous possédons, ceux qui suscitent nos désirs, les endroits que nous avons traversés ou ceux que l’on a appris à aimer, nos animaux de compagnie —tous ces artéfacts servent notre souhait de masquer notre véritable identité, tout en satisfaisant notre désir d’exhibition. Cependant, le caractère unique de ces photographies est lui-même dilué dans un maëlstrom d’images toutes faites et de piètres clichés reproduits à l’infini, inspirés par la publicité, les agences de voyages et les médias de masse. Ces images, censées être le substrat de notre identité, finissent par être toutes identiques.

The Best Samurai Movies Ever (Jidaigeki - Chanbara Movies) Part 1 of 2

Some of the greatest films ever made are samurai movies usually set in the Edo period, or Tokugawa period, from 1603 to 1868, when Japan was ruled by the shoguns of the Tokugawa family. Sometimes these films are set in the late Heian period or early Meiji era, too.

15 Great Examples of Websites using jQuery Masonry | Web Resources | WebAppers

jQuery Masonry is a dynamic grid layout plugin for jQuery. Think of it as the flip-side of CSS floats. Whereas floating arranges elements horizontally then vertically, Masonry arranges elements vertically, positioning each element in the next open spot in the grid. The result minimizes vertical gaps between elements of varying height, just like a mason fitting stones in a wall.

Tattly™ Designy Temporary Tattoos — Welcome

Tattly started out of my frustration that temporary children tattoos are often hideous looking. Think Clip Art gone Tattoo. I was ready to put designy, cool, typographic tattoos on my daughter’s arm. Tattly was born. When you have such an all-star line up of designers submitting designs, there’s not much that can go wrong. Yay for a fun-loving design community that was in for the ride.

PARC to Make TV Watching More Social - BusinessWeek

Have you ever wished your buddies were right there, watching the game with you on days other than Super Bowl? The cheering, cursing and yacking that occur in front of the TV are precious, but most of us are too busy nowadays for too many such get-togethers. Soon, though, we might all be watching TV virtually, thanks to a technology called Social TV.

SOCIAL TV: Creating New Connected Media Experiences

In this course we will examine television distribution asking the question "how is digital technology changing they way television fits into society." The course will take a systemic look at the various ways television is currently distributed with a particular emphasis on emerging technologies that place television in a social context. The classwork for the course will be team and project focused, culminating in each team developing a prototype of a new social TV application. We will explore the multiple facets of the social TV experience from video technology fundamentals and challenges, to user interfaces, content consumption and business cases.

Radio Interview with Matriarch of Social TV - MIT's Marie-Jose Montpetit

Social TV is a huge buzzword in the TV world these days. Basically, it refers to the ways people are using social media in conjunction with their TV viewing. That might refer to something as simple as checking your Twitter feed on your phone while watching a political debate. It might also include joining a social network oriented around media discovery, like GetGlue, or Miso, where you can find out what your friends think of shows, or be notified when they are watching something. It had us wondering what impact Social TV will have on the way programmers design shows, and whether we’re returning to gathering in the living room watching I Love Lucy, only virtually. Marie-Jose Montpetit is a research scientist at the Research Lab of Electronics at MIT, where she researches putting video on multiple devices and combining it with social networking components.
