French passion

I only know Jacques Lacan - the French intellectual and psychoanalyst through his compelling articulation of the “mirror stage”. The mirror stage involves the moment during which the human being first recognizes himself as Self, as Other, possibly even as others see him. This moment marks the true beginning of history for the individual by [...]

Air Dance Awesomeness

This brilliant NY Air Bear by Joshua Allen Harris reminded me how enchanting (poetic almost) the effect of air on movement can be. There is something incredibly animate in a piece of plastic riding on air.

He did a micro zoo about a year ago

Who can forget this dreamy scene…

This is something i always [...]

You are what you share - kudos to C4

I’ve heard it first couple of weeks ago in a talk with Charles Leadbetter for the launch of his new book. And it’s one of this things that resonate so powerfully with what we experience in the sphere that it immediately been adopted as the mantra of the day.

Last week Channel 4 proved to [...]

Jimmy is happy (or how the twitter effect is changing social cognition)

Before i delve into socio-psychological-brain-shag here’s a little exercise:
When was the last time you’ve experienced something - from the most mundane (being tired, basking in the sun, fighting jetleg, craving a banana) to slightly more elaborated one (thinking about politics, being in a good restaurant, getting pissed off with shitty morning commute, watching a great [...]

The return of the mixtape

Sometimes when someone has a crush on you, they’ll make you a mixtape to give you a clue

muxtape and the likes seem to be all over the place now and I find it incredibly interesting. Apart of burst of nostalgia and remote memories of romantic cheesiness carved on 60min phillips cassettes, it got me thinking: [...]

I’m busy. Read this story

We bloggers usually apologise after neglecting our blog for few days/weeks. I’d like to apologise in advance as this week is busy as it can get… Until I’m back I highly recommend this lovely (fictional) story I found on the oh so brilliant New-Yorker:
Here’s a little teaser:

Drinking from the Media Firehose

Wow, I can’t remember when was the last time that a metaphor and a piece of drawing resonated so hard with my feelings. It’s something that I’ve been thinking about quite a lot in the past year as I think that this is genuinely a new psychological state of mind that has been developed in [...]

The Internet is a TV Star #2

We’re already used to celebrating “the internet” (mostly social media) on different mainstream media platforms, such as TV shows and massive print coverage as well.
One lousy sub trend, which should be legally banned is mimicking ‘internet phenomenon’ in advertising. Like this atrocious rip off or the lame Mastercard idents for the Brits award which [...]
