ASDF will occupy Capricious Space as part of ‘IN REAL LIFE‘ During the 4 hour physical occupation an exhibition of 48 artists will concurrently exist online on this page (an exhibition exhibited in an exhibition). Each piece in our show will be available for view and download for a duration of exactly 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes, the next piece will overwrite what had just been available. Each downloadable file will be sized to print so that you can materialize the exhibition yourself. At the end of the 4 hour residency all original files will be deleted. The downloaded files will be the only existing digital remnants of our exhibition.

Mylinh will be in Capricious Space uploading the files (while broadcasting her desktop live at IRL’s site). She will also be printing and physically installing the show in the gallery. David will chat with her live from Chicago, while downloading, printing and installing the show in Golden Age. You are encouraged to come and join either of them. Bring your laptops, paper and a printer will be available to use.

Design organizations and schools all over the world are increasingly pondering the proverbial question: Do designers have the ability to change the world? In the face of the current worldwide economic crisis, it may be hard to be optimistic. Yet given the right engine for change, the answer, according to Project M’s John Bielenberg, is a resounding YES—however, he would argue, it can only be done one community at a time. Through his intensive summer program, Bielenberg’s students use design, writing, photography and other strategic skills to address global issues at the local level. From the rural American South to urban Iceland, Project M applies design thinking to help provide safe drinking water (Buy a Meter, in Hale County, Alabama) or turn abandoned lots into parks (This Is Not Grass, in East Baltimore, Maryland). Recently, Bielenberg went to Reykjavík as the nation’s economy collapsed and led an M Blitz workshop, in which creative collaborators have just 48 hours to make a positive impact. As the recession continues here at home, we spoke to Bielenberg about his experience in Iceland and what Project M will do next to save the world.

One of the 48-hour M Blitz projects in response to the Icelandic financial collapse, Deilum involved posting items in bags for people to take as long as they returned it with something they no longer needed.

Google’s UK version of street view for Google Maps launched last week in the UK and has created a media circus ever since.

The Google Maps feature, which allows users to browse through popular cities with a set of high quality photos, has created controversy and huge media interest in the UK as many fear for the privacy implications of such a service. Google has begun pulling images that users have found inappropriate.

The Telegraph is reporting that Google has removed images of naked toddlers playing in a garden square in north London that were captured on the mapping system. Google claims users can use the “report a problem” section of Google maps to report concerns about images or have their own house removed. According to the company these reports will be dealt with promptly.

The service has created a media storm in the UK with major broadcasters like the BBC and Channel 4 focusing on the privacy concerns of many home owners. Google insists it has followed strict guidelines and consulted the UK’s authorities on any privacy concerns.

The company has removed several images but we have compiled some British classics below:

Notte Sento (English subtitles) from napdan on Vimeo.

A girl misses her train to Milan and is set to wait overnight in Rome until dawn. However, a chance encounter with a guy changes her plans and the night lights of the capital turn into the background to a tender love story. An extraordinary chemistry made of knowing glances and small gestures fills the few instants that separate them both from the sunrise.

Short film made with 4500+ still photographs. Shot with a Canon EOS 30D camera.

This is a kind of Chinese poem with a circular structure which you can read from any word and it will make sense. So it’s like, you can start on the second word and end on the first word and it becomes another poem with a different meaning.

WRK/PLY Conference will be a day long creativity conference at the end of March, challenging the conventions of work and play. The WRK/PLY experience serves up a 50/50 split. Our panel of six speakers, each specifically chosen for his or her success blending play into their work lives, will construct interactive elements designed to emphasize the value of constructive play.
