The Time Machine in alphabetical order
The Time Machine in alphabetical order, by Thomson & Craighead:
“The Time Machine in alphabetical order is a complete rendition of the 1960’s film version of HG Wells Novella re-edited by us into alphabetical order from beginning to end. In doing so, we attempt to perform a kind of time travel on the movie’s original time line through the use of a system of classification.”

Disconnected
“Three college students take on the challenge of giving up their computers to see how their academic, social, and work lives are affected. No Facebook. No YouTube. No e-mail. How will they get their work done? Will they cheat? Who will survive the longest? This one-hour documentary follows Carleton College students Andrew, Caitlin, and Chel as they go through “digital detox” and learn to interact with themselves and with others in ways we have largely forgotten.”

Miranda July poses for a wonderful series of photos for Vice Magazine. Re-enacting a few scenes from classic movies. Not as the protagonist though, but as an anonymous character in the background.

3D and the Reinassance
According to art critic Jonathan Jones, James Cameron’s new 3D film Avatar has something to teach us about the Renaissance:
“In the 15th century, artists discovered how to paint bodies and landscapes as if they had depth and solidity. Painting triumphed over the flat surface to create the illusion of a real scene glimpsed through the square enclosure of the wooden panel or canvas, as if you were watching a play on a stage. The effect was just as dazzling, just as unexpected as 3D cinema – and it has lasted a lot longer than the gimmicks of 1950s science fiction.”
