So Saturn’s going away.
Saturn was supposed to be the little GM division that could. Dreamed up in the early eighties and finally launched in 1990, the Saturn brand was GM’s answer to an ever-increasing threat of small, well-made Japan-o-mobiles. Naturally, GM fucked things up.

Cram an LED into a bottle pourer and what do you get? An inexpensive device that makes booze even more beautiful and which you’ll probably see in every bar on the planet in a year.

Beautiful experimental animation short with fantastic sound design and drawrings.
Just like modular synthesizers, people connect with each other in order to achieve diverse objectives. In Voltage, robots, half-human and half-synthesizer, powered by a huge amount of energy, connect to each other in an electric and chaotic trance.

Around 1979 (when I was one orbit in), Philip Glass composed the music for a series of animated shorts devoted to the beauty of the circle. I sit in awe of these. Gorgeous.
Is stuff being produced for kids today that they will want to watch as adults 30 years later? (I honest don’t know… I hope so!)
OMG I love Muse and
OMG I love their new album art and
OMG I almost totally love their new song!
Woot!
SURFACE is an experimental film, exploring the emotional journey from an underground urban perspective.
This ‘urban symphony’ transforms human actions and street objects into beats that harmoniously compose a grand audio and visual composition. The film emphasizes the ideas of ‘point of contact’, ‘human identity’ and notion of ‘live footprints’.

Yeah, yeah… all the photo-heads are gushing about it (including Lee). But it is beautiful. And compact. Time to trade in the clunky ol’ SLR.
I just got back from Washington D.C. It’s kinda sweaty there, but there’s a solid, aged urban vibe with some great brands, a bit of mural art, and some beautifully worn textures. Some pictures after the jump.
GM contains multitudes: Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Hummer, Saab and Saturn here in the states (and Pontiac until recently; Hummer and Saturn are next to go).
GM is probably about to declare bankruptcy, so I thought I’d take a quick look at their lousy branding. [More…]
In early March, India and other countries with big Hindu populations usher in spring and represent the triumph of good over evil with what basically amounts to a national multi-coloured water fight in the street. People head out of their houses and cover each other in coloured paints, powders, waters, and dyes. It’s the literal, visual interpreatation of the colourful re-birth of spring come to life on people’s bodies.
Too beautiful not to pass on. More photos after jump.
