WORLD GO BOOM! DJ EARWORM’S 2011 UNITED STATE OF POP
December 26th, 2011 • Music Video •
Some news sources out there seem to be a little dense and are not listing to the restructuring of the pop songs in Earworm’s year-end mashup. This mashup has a relevant meaning to what has been occurring with the financial system and the state of the world in the year 2011. You can refer to pop music as the “lowest common denominator” ummm Slate, but if you listen carefully to Earworm’s restructuring of these songs, you will hear that there is always a running theme in pop music that he pulls together, even in such a clear way that even mentally challenged “journalists” that regurgitate postings from blogs should be able to understand.

It’s A Cliffhanger
February 17th, 2011 • Architecture •
San Francisco is still a very provincial city when it comes to architecture but University of California’s recently opened ‘Ray and Dagmar Dolby Regeneration Medicine Building’, designed by firm Rafael Vinoly architects, seems to have made it past the nimby approval apparatus with a very “edgy” design.
“The building’s location on a steeply sloping hillside – in a city plagued by earthquakes – was a defining element in its construction. The architects’ circuitous use of stairways and sloping walkways has deftly resolved the former, maximising all available space and ensuring a fluid and cohesive whole. Meanwhile, the entire complex is also supported by steel space trusses and concrete piers, which are specifically engineered to absorb earthquakes through seismic base isolation. ”

One Hundred and Eight – Installation
Artist Nils Völker has figured out how to make them into cool interactive breathing art. “One Hundred and Eight is an interactive wall-mounted Installation mainly made out of ordinary garbage bags. Controlled by a microcontroller each of them is selectively inflated and deflated in turn by two cooling fans.”
I am? Am I? Who am I?

Very interesting videos from a mysterious artist that seems to have the blogs buzzing trying to guest the who the artist is. Some suggest Christina Aguilera or Lady GaGa but I don’t think so. I am going to put my money on Karin Dreijer Andersson of Fever Ray or her brother Olof Dreijer of the The Knife.
