FUTURE SELF

Wednesday, April 25, 2012

PHOTO FACTS

As all creative fields, photography has changed at a breathtaking pace since the arrival of digital photography. We take four times as many photographs as only ten years ago, but even more surprising: ten percent of all photographs ever taken were taken during the past 12 months. These and more astounding numbers on photography you [...]

PressPausePlay

Saturday, March 3, 2012

The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent of people in an unprecedented way, unleashing unlimited creative opportunities.

IT’S NICE THAT

Friday, February 17, 2012

Anyone who is already familiar with the rather brilliant design culture blog It’s Nice That will have second-guessed by now that it’s a solid fixture on our daily morning Internet itineraries, but the real highlight comes on Fridays, as it should, when it’s time for The Weekender.

DB

Monday, January 30, 2012

And, speaking of our friends at Raster-Noton, we should make sure to mention Japanese electronic wizard Ryoji Ikeda’s new audio-visual installation db which just opened at Berlin’s Hamburger Bahnhof, and suffice to say, this is not to be missed.

MONDAY MUSIC: ARCADE FIRE

Monday, December 19, 2011

Arcade Fire certainly had an impressive year as far as videos are concerned, making Spike Jonze look like the least inventive in the trio of directors employed to promote 2010’s grand third album The Suburbs. Embracing the Internet as the new medium to distribute music videos rather than fighting it, their first promo for The [...]

ART BERLIN

Thursday, December 8, 2011

Berlin, of course, is one of Europe’s hotspots for emerging artists, so it was only a matter of time until someone created a worthy website dedicated to the Berlin art scene. The time is now, cue Art Berlin – a blog, review and listings site  all in one, dedicated to… exactly.

MAGCULTURE SHOP

Monday, November 28, 2011

A nice new idea from magCulture, who we like, as you might have noticed. They’ve just opened their new online store, which is actually more like a personal recommendation: A selection of 8 independent titles only, handpicked by founder Jeremy Leslie.

FINE BOOKS MAKE FINE TWEETS

Thursday, November 17, 2011

Personally, I haven’t really invested much time in Twitter, mostly because I didn’t quite understand its appeal. Where’s the focus? But of course, I knew there must be good stuff out there, I only couldn’t be bothered to look out for it.
