Divorced From The World

In the final segment of Jarmusch’s Coffee & Cigarettes, the infamous Taylor Mead, an icon of the NY Downtown scene since the 60s, falls asleep while chatting with Bill Rice – something he had a lot of trouble with until last week when he left this planet and passed away: good news for his asshole [...]

Provisional Indeed

Truly a shame that it wasn’t really the right Jai Paul album… but let’s not get all excited about this and wait a little longer – and maybe have some drinks next Friday or Saturday in Berlin?

UPTEMPO

After last summer’s rumours of Daft Punk releasing a new studio LP, it now seems to be more and more official.

In the wake of hurricane Sandy ravaging the east coast of the US, see a live data visualisation by Fernanda Vegas and Martin Wattenberg of where the winds blow right now, and I could just stare at that [...]

The .art domain community

Since the ICANN announced the call for applications for top-level domains, art digest and journal e-flux has applied for the rights to administer .art. Aware of the responsibility of managing a top-level domain, e-flux “envisions this new space as a reliable, ethical, selective, and educational resource for art professionals, educators, institutions, and especially the public [...]

The Hair Apparent

Interviewer: Okay well, my last question actually comes from a special surprise guest who asked me to ask you this, so you’ll have to guess who this question came from.
Victoria Legrand: You’re asking it for them?
Exactly, and you have come up with who you think might have asked it. The question is how many pieces [...]

Nice touch: the revered Swiss newspaper Neue Züricher Zeitung launched their first complete digital edition with a front page in binary code. Those innocent ones and zeros that have transformed our world like nothing else in the past 30 years. (Thanks.)
