LL Cool J’s hidden track from 1994, ‘Year of the HIp Hop,’ found behind a radiator.
Hi, A Real Human Interface. I wake up and one of the first things I do is check my phone, then open my laptop. I expect my computer to jump start from sleep and update with speed. It’s funny when the tables are turned.
Here, an installation from Multitouch Barcelona at the Museum of Modern Art, NY imagines just that and brings it to life. Mixed with a dreamy soundtrack, a real-life human being sits inside a screened box, doing everything a computer does. He sorts emails, sends replies, updates software and sometimes just gets bored. As it takes time to start a computer, he’s getting ready by brushing his teeth and changing his clothes.
The installation is making a statement, blurring the lines between reality and technology, machine and man. We too often rely on computers for human interaction, I often think a handwritten note is many times more special than receiving an email.
Paul Smith Designs Concept Posters for ‘Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy’
I was truly enamored by these high concept prints by Sir Paul Smith, who designed a series of four silk-screen posters for the release the film, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. The film is an adaptation of John Le Carre’s 1974 novel, and will star Gary Oldman, Colin Firth and Tom Hardy. It was recently featured at the Venice Film Festival 2011.
Smith collaborated closely with the film’s director Tomas Alfredson in the early conceptual stages of the film. Working in a creative capacity. he offered thoughts and insights on 1970s London and advised on mood, color, and photographic approaches. Motion picture films play a huge role in shaping today’s pop culture. And to have an legendary visual artist and designer contribute to the project creates a nice mashup of modern mediums, one that is different from typical Hollywood.
The posters will have a limited release of 50 and will signed by Smith. They will be available at Paul Smith shops from Sept 13.
