Last night,
Sean Bonner,
Caryn Coleman and I finished
setting up the
SENT phonecam
art show installation at LA's Standard Hotel Downtown. 25
invited artists
contributed images taken with Motorola V600s. The participants are as
diverse as they are talented: photographers, indie photobloggers,
two famed
filmmakers, a
billionaire b-ball team owner,
and
a celeb or
two or
three.
The work looks
incredible, regardless of how they shot it -- two artist shots from
SENT are shown at left. Tattooed LA gangstaz lean out of low-rider
cars. A girl gazes into the eye of a phone. White vapor rises off dark
water in a Hollywood pool. A needle drops into a black vinyl groove.
Little slices of digital life. Lovely stuff.
As I watched Caryn tack invited participants' photos along the wall
in a grid resembling a gigantic SMS message (come to the show, you'll
see what I mean), all I could think of was this: what's fascinating
about people using new gadgets like phonecams to make art isn't the
gadget. Human beings need to communicate just like we need to breathe,
eat, and drink water. As new tools emerge, the way we communicate
changes -- but the need to connect with each other, and reflect on the
visual, sensual, tactile world around us remains the same.
If you're in LA, please join us tomorrow night from 7-10pm for the big
public opening event -- the first time invited artists' phonecam pics
will be shown. We'll be on the 4th floor of the Downtown LA Standard
Hotel, 550 South Flower Street. Or, stop by Sunday 11 through Saturday
17 from 12-5pm and check out the show. Saturday's reception and the
ongoing show are free and open to the public -- and we've set up free
WiFi in the 4th floor gallery space to complement the free WiFi in the
hotel lobby. Blog on! More details here. Press clips,
including this week's LA
Times review, are here.

I went to see The Day
After Tomorrow, yesterday, opening day. I liked it, but then I
like almost everything. It wasn't totally terrible, in fact it's
badness is part of what makes it good. There are some very good
special effects, esp the opening scene. It's a big-budget Hollywood
disaster movie. Kids will love it. You may wonder how Dennis Quaid
saves the planet, it's actually fairly clever. I've heard that the
science is all wrong, but this is one of those times when, sorry, it
just doesn't matter.
BTW, one of the coolest things about the movie is that the Vice
President is a Dick Cheney look-alike: he's stubborn, stupid and
Republican. The President, who defers to the VP, is cheesy and stupid
and wears a military bomber jacket in the Oval Office. Someone in
Hollywood, a Democratic stronghold, had fun with that. They also found
a neat solution to the war in Iraq (but I won't say what it is).

Jarkko and I got to see a sneak preview of The Day After
Tomorrow last night courtesy of a green party candidate, Satu Hassi, who raffled the
tickets off on her website. What made the event more interesting than
the average movie was that she invited 2 professors to speak after the
movie and answer questions from the audience. Someone, of course,
asked the meteorologist how they can predict weather in 50 years when
they get the daily forecast wrong so often. :) The movie gives you a
lot to think about if you can see beyond the Hollywood effects and it
was strangely comforting to have a couple of people who spend their
lives studying this very subject discuss how realistic they think the
story is. While they both seemed to think it wasn't a likely scenario,
they didn't say it was impossible. Their models seem to indicate
drought and famine in India along with dramatic warming and coastal
flooding instead. Given the choice, perhaps being flash-frozen is a
better way to go. Wouldn't it be fun to have the oil reserves
depleted about the same time? I knew I was screwed years ago when
I got that fortune cookie with a may you live in interesting
times message.
I won't offer any spoilers, but there are a couple of intensely
gratifying parts of the movie like the random storm in LA that takes
out the entire city. There's apocalyptic goodness for the people of
England, too. :) I was annoyed with the terribly predictable boy gets
the girl, the dog survives and everyone has a happy ending features,
but much of the movie does try to get your attention by taking a
plausible, albeit very unlikely, scenario without overdoing it more
than necessary. The idea that only folks south of the Mason-Dixon line
in the US survive is also a bit too depressing to contemplate. Well,
at least Florida was swallowed by the sea before the golf carts could
escape. I think watching this movie helped me pinpoint why I have
loved apocalyptic and dystopian movies and books for almost all of my
life; adversity forces people to drop the bullshit and concentrate on
one thing, survival. I'm still rooting for the planet, but there is
the slightest sliver of hope that maybe humanity will smarten up
sometime soon. I'm a dreamer, I know. It's a good movie that is best
watched with a big box of popcorn and a beer or three afterwards.
Prepare.

source so small, yet so efficient, that it could make cumbersome power
plants virtually obsolete" Utter marketing hype, or are they
really onto something?

I wonder why none of the social networking bloggers picked up on
this?
The hit movie "The Day After Tomorrow" provides profiles and lots
of coolio features in a Flash based interface. Much of the
design looks like a Laszlo app.
You can put up your own face, list off your three fav songs (which
are then compiled into a Top 10 list) and give responses to standard
"End of the World" questions. All in all it's quite an
impressive site for a movie site. I wonder who did it?
No FOAF though and your profile registration requires human
intervention to approve it.

06/24/2004 09:16 PMMe, My
Mobile and I
"A new generation of mobile users are becoming so emotionally
attached to their phones that they cannot live without them.
This is one of the key findings of a study into how people use
their mobile phones entitled Me, My Mobile and I.
The annual study from research firm Teleconomy reveals that 10 to
14-year-olds - dubbed M-Agers - are rapidly becoming the most
sophisticated users of phones.
Even toddlers are able to tell the difference between incoming
phone calls and text messages said Professor Michael Hulme, chairman
of Teleconomy....
'They are growing up ready to take on these services,' said Prof
Hulme....
Phones are rapidly replacing address books, diaries, watches and
alarm clocks as people turn increasingly to their handsets to help
manage their lives." [BBC News,
via textuall
y.org]
An admittedly small study group, but the findings are well
supported elsewhere. The two killer statistics, though - and the ones
to which libraries need to pay particular attention - are that
"32% see phone as tool rather than intimate object"
and "85% of children had personalised phones."
It's not like these things are going away, you know.

MATT GALLANT -- Also, your dead
relatives love you and don't want you to be sad. Today, Midway has
shipped Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy for PS2 and Xbox. Psi-Ops is
a third-person stealth/action game where you play as psychic commando
Nick Scryer. Your mission is to go undercover (hint: don't tell anyone
your last name) and infiltrate "The Movement", a terrorist
organization that usually strikes about fifteen minutes after
breakfast and then again late in the evening.
As you can see in the screenshot, you'll have the power to lift
things and set them on fire using only the powers of your mind and
melodramatic poses. Hopefully Nick will also have to shout "BEHOLD!"
to make with the burning and flinging. Nick can also learn to
telepathically control enemies, do some remote viewing of inaccessible
locations, see auras, and drain brains. You'll also have an array of
conventional weapons which you can fire using only the power of your
index finger, for when your brain gets tired.
