Tom Jamieson "The DIY Weapons Of Maidan" 

After two weeks of photographing the recent Maidan Square protests in Ukraine and feeling frustrated that he wasn’t contributing anything new to the coverage, London-based photographer Tom Jamieson turned his lens on a unique subject: the DIY weapons crafted by Ukrainian protestors. Jamieson tell us; “It was actually in the last two days of the protests that I decided to focus purely on the weapons and completely remove them from the chaotic background of what was going on around Maidan Square.” Setting up a makeshift studio with a trusty black backdrop and the help of his assistant, Jamieson captured the menacing and medieval-looking weapons in the hands of their proud owners.

Shooting in the early morning or twilight hours outside in the square or near protestors’ tents, Jamieson shows us just how personalized these homemade creations are—some adorned with messages for their targets, some with religious symbols or the names of hometowns. When the peaceful protests of late November shifted to more heated ones—the Berkut police opening fire on protesters in January for example—these weapons began to appear more steadily; here they are a visual reminder of people ready to defend.

05. Sam Winston : http://www.samwinston.com/ 

“Sam Winston creates sculpture, drawings and books that question our understanding of words both as carriers of messages, and as information itself. His work combines a playful and meticulous assimilation of contemporary information – statistics, data, computer programming – with canonical works such as Shakespeare and the dictionary. He is interested in childhood and story-telling and draws us into the underlying subtexts that often exist beneath what might initially appear as ‘pure’ texts. His work draws upon many approaches and forms, often applying meticulous layers of found text which are reordered through indexical categories. Through drawing, cutting, folding and typography, complex ideas emerge in new work that seems clear, logical and completely necessary amidst the saturation of financial and media text that is around us and often impossible to process.”

06. SAMARIS (Iceland) "Goda tungl"
Think Björk meets Fever Ray.

04. Jackson and His Computerband "G.I. Jane (Fill Me Up)" 
An animated music video clip by Mrzyk & Moriceau with VERY EXPLICIT CONTENT !

05. The Wikidrummer 


It’s one thing to record audio of a drummer and then digitally synthesize the reverberation to mimic various environments, but it’s another thing entirely to film a drummer actually playing in all of those environments and then stitch it together into a single track. That’s exactly what Audio Zero and Wikidrummers did with drummer Julien Audigier who played the same drum pattern in a variety of indoor and outdoor locations to show the effects of natural reverb, sometimes even blending multiple tracks into a single shot. Amazing!!!

And thanks to grenadine et tagada for sharing this link :)

06. Franklin Roosevelt in 1933


The whole video is interesting and more particularly the excerpt between 10:48 and 11:34.

04. John Franzen
http://www.johnfranzen.com/art/start.html // http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cL_f5QR29E&feature=youtu.be
“Each Line One Breath” is a series of meditative drawings by artist John Franzen. He calls them morphogenetic freehand drawings.
He starts with a straight line all the way down a page, and then slowly draws another line beside it. He tries his best to copy the line exactly but inevitably there are tiny imperfections. These “mistakes” are amplified as he copies each new line, and the drawing begins to reveal itself like a curtain.

05. Pretty Lights "Around the block"
http://vimeo.com/72104173 // Mount Kimbie "Home recording" http://vimeo.com/72662634 both videos were directed by this talented young men : Anthony Dickenson.
