Saturday the 28th of February, the London digital art scene gave us a clear sign: the digital are scene in London is vibrant and living, artists are applying new technologies to create new aesthetics and new languages and this is absolutely amazing!
The Kinetica museum is doing a brilliant job in promoting digital and new media arts and the Kinetica art fair is the proof of this commitment.

secret cinema

Secret Cinema is such a good concept... a live cinema experience.The main aim of "secret cinema" is to bring back the mystery to cinema as well as creating a live cinematic event. Exicitng...
From previous events I can see that is mixed media night where cinema, theatre and video art are all integrated to narrate a story based on the movie screened.

Coldwar Modern Design

Ever thought of Cold war as a background for creativity?

Well...It was...and it was also a background for the development of art, design and cinema.

Until last 11th of January the V&A (Victoria and Albert Museum) explored this side of the Cold War through an impressive exhibition called "Cold War Modern: Design 1945-1970". The exhibition invites visitors to go beyond the common imagery linked to this time of the history, and to look at how designers, artists and creative minds reacted creatively to it, in both sides of the "iron curtain".

muji

"MUJI is not a brand. MUJI does not make products of individuality or fashion, nor does MUJI reflect the popularity of its name in its prices. MUJI creates products with a view toward global consumption of the future. This means that we do not create products that lure customers into believing that "this is best" or "I must have this." We would like our customers to feel the rational sense of satisfaction that comes not with "This is best," but with "this is enough.". "Best" becomes "enough".

Questo è il messaggio globale che da qualche settimana ha segnato il lancio del nuovo sito globale di questa marca/non marca giapponese che a noi di mutechlab piace tanto...

Pensieri sparsi e riflessioni su come i lifestyle e fashion brands stanno interpretando il web/wire, i media digitali e l'arte per costruire la loro identità sociale e culturale ed anche ovviamente per promuovere i loro prodotti (sana vecchia reclame).

vivienne westwood manifesto

Dame Vivienne Westwood icona della fashion culture, del punk ha lanciato e sta portando in giro con passione e costanza il suo manifesto culturale. Beh penserete un'altra operazione di fashion marketing di successo! No io penso di no,  almeno non solo questo.

“Manifest: Active resistance to propaganda” è la risposta della dama alla non-cultura di massa per cui l’arte e la cultura sono l’antidoto alla propaganda:

“Culture is the antidote to Propaganda; by 'culture' is meant intellectual culture”
