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.
That’s when pants come down and it’s time to [...]

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 [...]

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.

AI WEIWEI IN NEW YORK

Friday, July 29, 2011

Oh, the speed of the internet. A condition of Ai Weiwei’s recent release from Chinese custody was his silence on Twitter and the blogs, but the Chinese government said nothing about this new Google+ (at least for now).

PAST / PRESENT

Monday, June 27, 2011

I know, I know, we’ve been mentioning Mike Mills a few times recently – not that it has to do anything with his latest film Beginners or the beautiful blog he’s dedicated to it (you haven’t seen it? go here right now for a great new dog video) – but this drawing above caught my [...]
