FRANCIS ALYS

Alÿs’s work starts with a simple action, either by him or others, which is then documented in a range of media. Alÿs explores subjects such as modernising programmes in Latin America and border zones in areas of conflict, often asking about the relevance of poetic acts in politicised situations. He has used video projection and film but also spreads his ideas through postcards. Painting and drawing remain central to his work too.

EXPOSED

Exposed offers a fascinating look at pictures made on the sly, without the explicit permission of the people depicted. With photographs from the late nineteenth century to present day, the pictures present a shocking, illuminating and witty perspective on iconic and taboo subjects.

see you all tuesday – 6 till 8

‘First to Do It’ vs. ‘First to Do It Right’

  

caring about the details and centring on the actual user experience has always been more important to apple than including bluray players in a phone (or whatever) there were mp3 players before the iPod
there were smartphones before the iPhone
there were LOADS of lame tablet pcs before the ipadcopy and paste, HDvideo, multitasking, video calling, GPS (yawn)from the article the experience of trying to use video calling on the new android based HTC Evo:

After two days of fiddling, downloading and uninstalling apps, manually force-quitting programs and waiting for servers to be upgraded, I finally got video calling to work — sort of. Sometimes there was only audio and a black screen, sometimes only a freeze-frame; at best, the video was blocky and the audio delay absurd.

To make video calling work, you have to install an app yourself: either Fring or Qik. But we never did get Fring to work, and Qik requires people you call to press a Talk button when they want to speak. The whole thing is confusing and, to use the technical term, iffy.

and your work? there’s sometimes a lack of attention to detail and the overall view in favour of trying to take on new whizz bang technical feature driven stuff – I think you may need to put the balance back the other way at times

god is in the details

cancel my iPhone 4 order – I want one of these babies – the nokia X5

Nokia, despite still being the world’s largest handset company have been struggling recently so it is good to see them returning so strongly in reaction to the iPhone/blackberry/android market

isn’t it lovely? that pink sets off the blue, green, yellow and beige of the compact screen so well don’t you think?

who wouldn’t want one of these ahead of the iPhone 4?

but you’ll have to wait till september I’m afraid
