Vibrate

My phone’s on vibrate for you
Electroclash is karioke too
I try to dance Britney Spears
I guess I’m getting on in years

My phone’s on vibrate for you
God knows what all these new drugs do
I guess to have no more fears
But still I always end up in tears

My phone’s on vibrate for you
But still I never ever feel from you
Pinocchio’s now a boy
Who wants to turn back into a toy

So call me
Call me in the morning
Call me in the night
So call me
Call me anytime you like

My phone’s on vibrate for you
For you

Vibrate from Rufus Wainwright. Check it out.

Podoscop and Podkast

As i was wondering some months ago about search engine for voice recognition, here is something interesting:

“What is Podscope? Podscope is the first search engine that actually allows you to search for spoken words within any audio or video file. We’re starting with podcasts and will be adding all types of multimedia in coming months.”

* Try it for yourself

Global Bearing

Has the Earth we know by the satellite photograph ever synchronized with the ground under our feet ? We can’t feel the round Earth though we live on the Earth that is globe. This installation makes it possible to feel the round Earth in one’s sense. The special experience - pointing the world through the ground - that we can’t experience in usual may be able to influence audience’s thought. (…)
This installation is just a trigger to start to image , and doesn’t have specific message. It only works to suggest the physical relation between the Earth as the scale not in usual and human body.

Et si votre docteur avait un blog

Avouez que vous seriez surpris non?

Doc, de quoi parlez vous sur votre carnet?

Aussi étrange que cela puisse paraitre, pas de chirurgie ou de troubles de santé, mais bien du status de l’homme au Québec.

Vive les carnets! qu’elle se dit. Ce médium qui permet la libre expression, le partage de connaissances, et qui avant tout nous permet d’enrichir notre perception de l’être humain en lui donnant la possibilité d’écrire tout haut ce qu’il pense tout bas.

* carnet du doc qui a d’ailleur été remarqué par Richard Martineau (ps, est-ce que c’est moi ou il n’y a pas possibilité de laisser un commentaire?)

Les Blogs - conference in Paris

I was supposed to be there too - but reading this post, i start being gratefull for these mad tax guys who took away the money i had for this trip.

“I’m sitting here at a conference that I flew all the way to Paris for.. for two days, and damned if it isn’t full of panels, broadcast mode all the way, telling the audience how it is. And well.. it’s so freaking undynamic. Because it’s not a discussion. These are bloggers. They know a lot. They know what it is. These 300 people make media every day on their blogs and yet, panels are here giving us time to email the office, our cats or the mailman about a critical lost postcard.

This audience is creative, bright, thoughtful and our brains are being numbed to death by one-way talk about how blogs are about losing legacy control and we’re all taking it back. Somewhere there is a tragi-comedy in here. It’s time for a revolt. Please, please, please can we do all conferences from now on differently? For the love of transparency, aliveness, I hope we can.”

I do not think this conference is bad, but as martine pointed, things might need to change.

Conferences around the world are being held everyday, the same way it always has been done, because, well, because that’s the way it has always been! So yeah, it might be time to shake things a little, yeah, i am talking about changing standards! UUUhh, scary hm?

What about attendee becoming speakers? What about speakers having more interaction with the audience? what about the audience moderating panels? what about the panel topics being chosen by the attendee? Switch!

Born Magazine Spring issue now live!

Born Mag - Spring Issue

We - me, toine, ph - were the fab 3,
digging deep in creative-mess and geek-i-ness to deliver an experimental piece for this issue of Born mag.

See the piece here: Born mag: Lydia Sparrow.

About the project:
This is an experience where we try to visually measure the impact of art on the viewer - in this case, on the reader of a chosen poem called “Lydia Sparrow”. While experiencing the poem, readers will be asked to identify their feelings regarding what they are reading. This will result in a new piece of art–generated by the impact of the poem on the reader–
that combines random pictures created by random users from around the world. This use of Flickr’s API creates a unique and evolving piece of art in which thousands of humans will be participating.

You are invited to post and/or discuss your art piece here -

About Born Mag:
Born is dedicated to the emergence and continuing evolution of collaborative arts. Founded in 1996, Born supports diverse forums–such as BornMagazine.org and art exhibitions–for creating, viewing, and promoting arts that bring together different creative disciplines. Born’s work has been profiled in numerous magazines and online venues, including The New York Times, BBCi Arts, and Communication Arts, and has won numerous awards including The One Show Interactive, Vancouver International Digital Festival, Barcelona Online Film Festival, and multiple Flash Film Festivals.

Meanwhile, also check out ‘The Letter‘, a flash piece i did in 99 (yes, 99! notice the link on the credits, pointing to mlink.net/~tmdesign!) for Born mag - this piece got a mention from macromedia at the time promoting it as Site of the Day.

Montreal fame-full? dunno, but they never got so many montreal collaborators work’n on a same issue, that is for sure.
