I’ll be Gone

I’ll be at Holiday Club (like VBS) for the next week. (or two.) So don’t expect life.

Fill in the Cat

Three characters disappear from large, solid white blocks, and their absence suddenly makes them important. The resulting emptiness is filled with the user’s belongings and through this action the silhouettes’ meaning shifts. The pieces suggest a continuous play between interaction and representation, where daily use generates a continuously changing story: a cat that reads Italo Calvino, a book filled with coins, a living room where birds come to eat the cake’s crumbles…

There is Something Wrong With the World

when someone who’s already dead is more important than a live stand-off in Iran (complete with refugees and deaths.)

BOB THE BUILDER!

CAN WE FIX IT?
BOB THE BUILDER!
YES WE CAN!

Bob the Builder
Can we fix it?
Bob the Builder
Yes, we can!

Scoop, Muck and Dizzy and Roley too
Lofty and Wendy join the crew
Pilchard and Bird, Travis and Spud
Playing together like good friends should

Bob the Builder
Can we fix it?
Bob the Builder
Yes, we can!
Hey!
Time to get busy, such a lot to do
Building and fixing till it’s good as new
Bob and the gang have so much fun
Working together, they get the job done

Can we build it? Yeah!
Can we fix it? Yeah!

Bob the Builder
Can we fix it?
Bob the Builder
Yes, we can! (Yeah!)

Is it stuck in your head yet?
If not, here’s the full song for free download!
Cause if I’m suffering, you should be too.

Alice In Wonderland

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is an excellent book with a perfect amount of absurd nonsense.
Tim Burton is set to direct a movie planned on release for 2010.
Yes, there have been other versions (1999, 1985, 1933, & 1951) but this one looks more… sophisticated.





It looks to veer from the book (reminds me of The Looking Glass Wars), but visually? Quite awesome.

Then 1280 of them can do it in 15 minutes.”
