Carlo Zanni just published his last work, a new experiment in Data Cinema: A Server Side generated movie where a guy is listening to a voice reading YouTube Terms of Service. When YouTube changes its Terms of Service, the server behind the movie gets the new text and through a text-to-speech software renders the voice over which is then imported into the filmed sequence.

PAINT FX is a painting collective/ club/ company/ brand/ website/ blog/ party consisting of Jon Rafman, Micah Schippa and Parker Ito.

“Para-Sites features a series of subtle interventions conceived for interstitial spaces, locations and human-scale architectural elements at Laboral. By means of projections, a parallel reality is superimposed on that of the space itself. The interventions work as parasites, disturbing and altering our perceptions of an already familiar place. ”
Last week I took a trip to Gijon, in order to attend the opening of Para-sites, an ...
