Massive Attack’s art of darkness via The Guardian World News February 6th, 2010 at 00:06

With the tour for new album Heligoland spawning pop-up exhibitions, Massive Attack's Robert '3D' Del Naja looks back on his work with a who's who of creative collaboratorsIt's been two decades since Massive Attack stood sweating it out on LA's West Pico Boulevard, filming that video for their first single Unfinished Sympathy. With original art scenester Leigh Bowery helping co-ordinate LA's lowlife on one side, and David Lynch's cameraman trying to film them on the other, it was an art-pop epic that would never have been easy to follow up. But, for a group of self-proclaimed "lazy Bristol twats", Massive Attack haven't half done a good job of blowing our expectations to bits.Brushing aside their seminal music (Blue Lines, Protection, Mezzanine), part of the band's enduring appeal lies in...

Fastest man in Britain just stands there via News hour, with Jerry Caesar January 13th, 2010 at 15:57

image And so the Santander advertising tedium rolls on. With the branch rebranding finally underway, so another round of expensive looking adverts - with a video seeming to suggest that roads can be built out of lego if Lewis Hamilton is involved in the planning. To call it 'cloud concept' would be kind, but what does building something important out of lego suggest about its foundations? It certainly didn't work for James May, but then he's not Lewis Hamilton. But it ain't dynamic, and that Hamilton just stands around, in both that and (inevitably) moreso in the print advert, is rather irritating. The point of him seems to be that he's British and successful, and that it's then enough to wrap a car theme around him and package it all under a brand. Is it? Still, at least they had the decency...

Surveillance in the snow via Kathz's Blog December 23rd, 2009 at 01:04

image Snow isn't a problem here - we could cope with a few more inches. The problem is the cold. As people walk in the snow, or as cars drive on the less-travelled roads, the snow turns to slush. Then it refreezes. I don't need to head to an ice-rink for thrills - between home and the station I slide precariously every few yards. My new technique for walking involves checking for crisp, snowy patches and cluching at walls, fences, lamp-posts and railings. What was usually a walk of less than ten minutes required concentration. balance and quick reactions. As my feet slid away from me, I bent my legs and caught hold of the railing, pleased to have avoided a serious tumble.I was determined to have a day out. I'd booked leave - I'd told my friends I would do something special, even if my...

image I’m sure a lot of you are wondering what you are seeing in this picture. Don’t worry, this is not the point-of-view of a Terminator who is trying to kill John Connor, but a new way of gaming. This is the SCOPE, a game system designed by France-based game designer Frantz Lasorne that uses augmented reality. You can see a video of it after the jump of the modded device with viewer and webcam tied together with rubberbands. If you look closely in the picture, you can see a Lego man that is surrounded by some hexagonal piece of paper. Each of the six sides has a different augmented reality code for the user to interact with such activities like choosing a weapon. As the video shows, the user can see in realtime a Lego toy with the chosen weapon, firing it at a bowling...

Commercial Break: Lego man smashed to bits for bike safety via BitterWallet September 28th, 2009 at 09:00

It’s been a tough week in the world of Lego after the least annoying Top Gear presenter was forced to chop down his full-sized house made from the colourful plastic bricks after everyone realised that it was a pointless waste of their time and energy.* But now Lego can once more be seen as a force for good instead of a signifier of a giant piece of cack-headed folly. In this PSA for the cycling safety organisation Biking Rules, a little yella Lego fella takes a massive hit in the name of raising awareness about riding through a red light. He’s lucky – he can reassemble himself and carry on about his business, which is fortunate as he’s a reckless idiot. However you, dear reader, are not made from Lego. So be careful out there. * There were other reasons but let’s face it, it...

back in Hackney via Baroque in Hackney August 30th, 2009 at 16:40

And how I missed it! I’ve been spending too much time inside. Greetings from a very noisy café in Stoke Newington – Lemon Monkey, in fact – where I am sandwiched in between two young women who talk loudly – one of them leaning all the way back in her chair and fiddling with her long hair behind her head, just slightly into my space – and a couple whose table is 4 inches from mine, and who are talking about programming or something, in German accents. The fridge sounds like small aircraft landing. The music is Coldplay. I have won a Lego dragon in an eBay auction, with mixed figurines to follow tonight, for the little boy who was at my house all weekend. He’s six. It turns out that all the Lego we have is vintage retro collectors’ Lego, you...

Who in their right mind writes a sequel? via The Truth About Lies August 10th, 2009 at 09:08

image Margaret Mitchell only wrote one book. It took her ten years and won her the Pulitzer Prize in 1937. To some extent it has been overshadowed by the 1939 film adaptation that won 9 Academy Awards. You can imagine the pressure she would have been under to write a follow-up especially considering the ending she wrote. It's just crying out for one. And yet Mitchell refused to write a sequel to her book, Gone with the Wind. Mitchell's estate finally authorised Alexandra Ripley to write the novel Scarlett in 1991. It never made it to the big screen but there was a television mini-series produced in 1994 with former 'James Bond', Timothy Dalton, as 'Rhett Butler' and ex Coronation Street and Emmerdale actress Joanne Whalley-Kilmer as 'Scarlett O'Hara'. One might wonder what Mitchell would have...

image These are houses. Real houses, not Lego-built.Let's try to find another picture.....Slightly better but it still makes me feel nauseous...My sign is Cancer and that means I am very, very conservative. I prefer sticking with the old to trying something new. I always go to the same restaurants, ordering the same meal for years. If there is a new owner or the menu changes radically, I'm gone.The architect of these houses may be a very nice, competent man, but his design gives me the creeps. Living in a square house would make me very insecure.In something called ' hyperbolic geometry', squares with right angles do not exist.Where would I put my huge flatscreen tv? Where my Kingsize bed for Queens?In 'spherical geometry', a square is a polygon whose edges are great circle arcs....See.......

image On Dragon's Den, againHello. I am Scaryduck Junior and I am excellent.Some of you might remember the last time I came here telling of the time me and my rubbish dad went on Dragon's Den and completely failed to diddle them out of any of their cash.You will be shocked – SHOCKED – to learn that story might have contained slight traces of lie.However, you might be equally pleased – PLEASED – to learn that the big fat whopper was merely a front to cover for our real, EXCELLENT business idea that we are doing for TV's Dragon's Den."What ho, young man!" said one of the suits, in exactly the same tone of voice as last time, probably still thinking I might be a pushover like that Reggae Reggae Sauce man, "What have you got for us today?" "I have," I said staring them down with my patent...

£80m man gets rough start via The Guardian World News July 20th, 2009 at 22:42

• World's most expensive player makes debut in Ireland• Shamrock Rovers refuse to be overawed by Real MadridIt was an unusual setting for the most expensive footballer in the world to make his debut: a modest little ground from the League of Ireland's Premier Division, with temporary stands behind each goal and, on the side of the pitch, a half-built shiny block that, on first glance, appeared to be made out of Lego."Let's give Real Madrid a nice Tallaght welcome," the man with the microphone had innocently requested just before kick-off. And the majority of the 10,000-plus fans who had been shoehorned into the home of Shamrock Rovers for a game won for Madrid by a late Karim Benzema goal – three times the usual capacity – reverted to the default setting when the man who now wants...
