VÖLKERSCHLACHT LEIPZIG REVISITED 1813-2013

 

German television is reporting the battle of the nations, 200 years ago, as if it was happening right now. History made visible. Or not, Leipzig area can be rather foggy this time of year. The Völkerschlacht left teh city of Leipzig in a desolated middle of the gathered armies. It was the great defeat of Napoleon, on his way back from the Russian campaign. Russian scorched earth tactics did their work.

But what a great idea to do this on a day to day / hour to hour basis. Watch the video! Watch the website!

Eine Vielzahl von Erinnerungsorten in Leipzig und dem Umland zeugen heute davon. Geht mit uns auf Entdeckungsreise!

THE EARLY ENVIRONMENTS OF JAMES BOND

Sir Ken Adam (born Klaus Hugo Adam; 5 February 1921) is a motion picture production designer most famous for his set designs for the James Bond films of the 1960s and 1970s. He was hired for the first James Bond film, Dr. No, in 1962. 

Dr. Strangelove's War Room

In 1964 he designed the famous war room set for Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove. He turned down the opportunity to work on Kubrick's next project 2001: A Space Odyssey after he found out that Kubrick had been working with NASA for a year on space exploration, and that would put him at a disadvantage in developing his art. This enabled Adam to make his name with his innovative, semi-futuristic sets for the James Bond films such as Dr. No (1962),  

Dr. No sketch by Ken Adam

Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967) and Diamonds Are Forever (1971). 

Thunderball

The supertanker set for The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) was the largest sound stage in the world at the time it was built. His last Bond film was Moonraker (1979).

GIMME A GUMMO OFFICE

Cupboards and tables and whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

Brown paper packages tied up with strings

These are a few of my favorite flings

Marktplaats and second hand poodles

Doorknobs and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles

Kringloop that sell the moon and weird things

These are a few of my favorite flings

Girls in black dresses, white masks against splashes

  Paint that stays on their nose and eyelashes

Black from what melts into things

These are a few of their favorite flings

Then there's spraypaint

And the guys sing

When I'm feeling had

I simply remember my favorite things

And then I don't feel bad

Watch that film now

And be amazed

STICKY-TAPE PERSPECTIVES

Multidisciplinary artist Damien Gilley creates sculptural installations

 

Multidisciplinary artist Damien Gilley creates sculptural installations that quickly redefine space through the use of optical illusions. By combining math with various materials including paint, masking tape, drywall, vinyl, wood, and foam core, he finds all kinds of ways to alter his viewers' perceptions of reality. The installations, which feature fake walls extending out from real walls, tape drawings, and imaginary hallways emerging off of flat surfaces, are Gilley's attempt to "reconfigure the built environment to provide alternative viewing experiences that complicate rational space."

 

The Oregon-based artist doesn't limit himself to four enclosed walls. He finds ways to travel beyond the limitations of architecture and he invites his viewers to come along for the visually intriguing experience. Each of Gilley's constructed walls are purposefully placed to react naturally with the existing interior and, from a distance, it's quite difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion. All of his deceptive, incomprehensible spaces are simply mind-blowing!

WE''RE ALL IN A MESH

The book of Mesh

It's a book. A book about an idea you feel a long time coming. What to do with CD's you have in your house? Load them in... After that? Sell, give them away! New music? Buy it on the web. But do I really still want it all? Mmm, no, I'ld say. Books? Same thing. So, as a matter of fact, I'm trying to say farewell to a lot of things. Things as in worldly possesions.
Well Lisa Gansky knows all about it and has written it down. Mesh, it's called.
   

Amazon says: A simple, powerful idea that's reinventing the way smart, adaptive companies do business.

Most businesses follow the same basic formula: create a product or service, sell it, and collect money. What Lisa Gansky calls "Mesh" businesses throw this model out the window. Instead, these companies use social media, wireless networks, and data crunched from every available source to provide people with goods and services at the exact moment they need them, without the burden and expense of owning them outright. The Mesh gives companies a better understanding of what customers really want.

Already, hundreds of successful Mesh companies are redefining how we interact with the people, goods, and services in our lives. These businesses are easier to start and spreading like wildfire, from bike sharing and home exchanges to peer-to-peer lending, energy cooperatives, and open source design. Consider:

• ZipCar profits from streamlined car sharing
• Kickstarter connects artists with funding from enthusiastic supporters
• Music Gym makes finding a recording studio as easy as joining a gym

The Mesh reveals the next wave of information-enabled commerce, showing readers how to plug in and profit.
