interviews with street photographers:

"Each photographer was sent a questionnaire which they filled in and emailed back. Some kept the question-answer format, others just wrote statements based on the questions we asked. There are plenty of gems, insights and advice that, we think, anyone looking to get started in street photography will learn from."
aworks :: new american classical music:

"Organ and Silence is a two-hour organ work (the Wesley Roberts recording is about an hour), distinguished by lengthy periods of silence. A set of notes or a phrase will be followed by complete silence. It might be a short pause or it might be say a 10 second gap and then another musical phrase. All sixteen movements follow that same pattern of short musical fragment, pause, then repeat for three or four minutes."

"The cartoon with its sheer endless humoristic allegories is among the oldest of trades, and a creative one at that.

We split the image from the text and shove the gag into a new interpretation..."

Disfarmer: black and white photographs of rural America in the 1940's:

" In the small mountain town of Heber Springs, the Arkansas artist known as Disfarmer captured the lives and emotions of the people of rural America between 1939-1945. Critics have hailed Disfarmer's remarkable black and white portraits as 'a work of artistic genius' and 'a classical episode in the history of American photography.' "
The New York Review of Books: Disco Dreams:

"Become hollow. Make room. Learn to despise your own internal protests at what bores or irritates you with its unfamiliarity. Be shaped by strangeness. Love what abrades. The future can come into being only by stripping away what was formerly locked in place."

Airbag - A Better Tighty Whitey.:

"There's a lot of talk about the recently declassified White House brief that mentions a possible attack by Al Queda forces within the United States but nothing about the state of intelligence reports given to the President of the United States.

I speak specifically to the design of the document. It's clearly inefficient in its purpose to communicate the assessment of threats against the United States. While a better designed document might not save the world, I believe it would help the President (Bush or otherwise) to quickly and more effectively assess the information given to him.

In a world with Jakob Neilson, how is it possible that nobody in the West Wing has learned the word usability?"

is from a short story by Nikolai Gogol;

But time which has brought me age has also brought me leisure, and I have availed myself of it to write my recollections of so much of the war between the states in which my own immediate cavalry command took part.

is from a Civil War memoir;


He is one who speaks good English, and wears gloves as if he were used to them.

is from German travel and adventure writer Karl May:


The context of the last is worth quoting at length:

"I suppose you know what a tenderfoot is. He is one who speaks good English, and wears gloves as if he were used to them. He also has a prejudice in favor of nice handkerchiefs and well-kept finger-nails; he may know a good deal about history, but he is liable to mistake turkey-tracks for bear-prints, and, though he has learned astronomy, he could never find his way by the stars. The tenderfoot sticks his bowie-knife into his belt in such a manner that it runs into his thigh when he bends; and when he builds a fire on the prairie he makes it so big that it flames as high as a tree, yet feels surprised that the Indians notice it." (from Winnetou, the Apache Knight)

comix remixed:

"The Japanese school system is a funny thing; exams happen three weeks before the term ends, meaning three weeks of students rather unwilling to learn anything new. That being so, I decided to corrupt my high schoolers in the most amusing, English-oriented manner possible. I made a short class on American comics with artwork and examples of popular comic books and comic strips. Then came the exciting part: making your own American-style comic!"

Bozo and Friends:

"Bozo Capitol Record Readers were originally issued in the late 1940s as beautifully designed 78RPM albums. These colorful 'books that talk' were synchronized with the records so that each time Bozo gave his signal, it was time to turn the page. 45s in boxed sets and paper sleeves followed shortly afterward as well as LPs."

Stasis_Space gallery : present : The Audible Still-Life

"At first, we just thought we would plug in the five oranges as if they were a normal electronic device, (and consequentially to sacrifice their integrity). Assign each one a mixer channel, eq, pan, and volume, and use two contact microphones on the table, and another on the oranges, to increase the spatial values. The resulting sound is almost the same as the one you get when touching a connected jack with your hands. So we started touching and playing the oranges."

Hung Out to Dry by David Ng:

"In the not so distant past, watchdog groups like the Media Action Network for Asian Americans eagerly protested the likes of MADtv's Asian manicurist Ms. Swan, as well as Mr. Wong, the animated Web series from the now defunct icebox.com, in which the titular houseboy was repeatedly goaded by his blonde boss into pronouncing words like cotillion. As an erstwhile fan of both caricatures, I find it strange that these groups have remained silent with regard to Hung, who, unlike Swan or Wong, is a real person, and whose cultural impact will be more lasting and potentially harmful.
