With one big shout They all cry out

A dangerous criminal gang is riding the net. They act in the dark, exploring the most sinister places, in search for the bloody heart of talent and creativity. Their favourite victims are banality, conformism, lack of humor and good will at any cost. Killing Bambi is a good metaphor for their mission. They are unarmed, actually, but they can still hurt.
So be careful...

The seasons result from the Earth's axis being tilted to its orbital plane.

For their next issue the gentle folks at ANTI Magazine are looking for submissions.

"Season" is the theme: go for it!

Simians, robots and image breaking

First things first. Let me introduce myself. Ok, nevermind, name's below.

This is the first of a series of posts on how to use robots to control minds, or how to use your mind to control robots. Simians can use mind to control robots, research is currently on an experimental application driver: simians will use robots to control minds.

While we wait for such a defining moment in history we'll try to keep a fresh eye on activism, architecture, arts, augmented reality, design, entertainment, life, sounds, visions, and of course 2.0 whatever.

Let's start with MoMA's "Comic Abstraction: Image Breaking, Image Making", thirteen contemporary artists whose work offer a rich account on the interplay between abstraction and comic models of representation.

Murakami, Essenhigh, Herrerra, and more after the jump.
