Read a brief interview here, or see a [...]

Friday, March 13, 2015

Hollywood and haute couture clash in Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson’s publicity stunt for Zoolander 2 on Valentino’s Paris runway. While both worlds are equally hermetic, the mix, as captured by Vine, feels awfully accessible, don’t you think?

MOCKED CRIMES

Monday, January 26, 2015

In the (post)digital era, our notion of time and ‘event’ is contradictory. As we all know, the heinous crimes of extremist group ISIS are devastating… The videos they publish online make the evil act, create a new ‘now’.
