Technology & Poetry

How interactive emotions are gonna get?
This virtual "mirror" in combination with a great song takes us to that place where technology is not just functional but emotional. If a clueless techie guy like me, can one day generate and send to someone he cares about a customized music video like this, I wouldn´t need to invite anyone to have dinner to make her/him love me. Well... honestly, don´t think so but think about it.

Clowns or Dandies ??????

Opinions are often divided but one thing I can say after looking at the sartorialist blog, a 0.2% of people in the streets really know how to dress. It´s not even a matter of having money, it´s in most of the cases just a matter of taste. Stop saying money can´t buy taste, that´s so 5o´s,
lets say taste can do with money what Quincy Jones did with Michael Jackson´s songs: magic.

Some say that those who dress like this are superficial and are obsessed with the show off, nothing in their brains, zero depth. But wait a second, there is something bigger that´s often forgotten and is as simple as breathing. Dressing the way you like makes you closer to who you want to be. This stupid little idea makes us feel damn good!
Come on! you´re not harming anybody, you´re not trying to feel better by taking all the pills from the night club, you´re not cheating your wife with a bulldog!!!! You´re just trying to feel good with yourself. And many people don´t like what they see in their mirrors every mourning.
In some very poor countries in South Africa, people don´t earn enough money to pay one meal per day. But they manage to safe enough money to buy $400 suite! How is that possible?
Well, it´s the same phenomenon you see in Brazil where poor people starve most of the year to be able to wear a costume in February´s carnival!
It´s never just clothes over your skin.
Now lets go back to the 0.2% of people out there in the streets that do dress like the people you see in the Sartorialist. Do you still want to kick their asses?

The Eternal MoonWalk

Despite the crappy image the media is doing of the King of Pop these days, there are still genuine
tributes coming from the true fans that remind us the size of this now called legend. This chane of different public generated videos is an invitation to all of us that at least once, did the moon walk after a couple of drinks or even completely sober. This move just made any place a virtual dance floor. One day our three legged chicken will do it too.
Long life Moon Walker !

For those of you who had the chance to watch the film and for those who doesn´t
it´s a nice little notebook with references of each one of the different locations where the
wold famous indie director uses in his last project.
A film where Jarmusch makes a demonstration of simplicity and originality.
Great example of taste for details, the framing and the art direction.
The DP for this film was Christopher Doyle, Wong Kar Wai´s director of photography.
Definitely worth watching it.
