Let’s take back the Internet! – YouTube: In this powerful talk from TEDGlobal, Rebecca MacKinnon describes the expanding struggle for freedom and control in cyberspace, and asks: How do we design the next phase of the Internet with accountability and freedom at its core, rather than control? She believes the internet is headed for a "Magna Charta" moment when citizens around the world demand that their governments protect free speech and their right to connection.
Online Schools | State of the Internet 2011: Like any classic hero, the Internet grew from humble beginnings as a tiny speck to become the legend that it is today. The very first “instant message” wasn’t even a whole word before it broke the entire system, but it sparked a fantastic fire of possibilities. Now, we can IM friends from our phones while we browse Facebook and send a few tweets about our indigestion from last night’s cheesesteak, perhaps while taking care of that indigestion. We can email our friends in Paris and Tokyo from the MoMA and even send photos to Mom and Dad, too.<br />
Thirty-something years ago, this was stuff for sci-fi nerds.

Computer teaches itself English so that it can play Civilization
David Byrne’s 1987 Predictions for the Computers of 2007: I don't think computers will have any important effect on the arts in 2007. When it comes to the arts they're just big or small adding machines. And if they can't "think," that's all they'll ever be. They may help creative people with their bookkeeping, but they won't help in the creative process.<br />
The video revolution, however, will have some real impact on the arts in the next 20 years. It already has. Because people's attention spans are getting shorter, more fiction and drama will be done by television, a perfect medium for them. But I don't think anything will be wiped out; books will always be there; everything will find its place.
The Secret History of Donkey Kong: Donkey Kong is perhaps the greatest outsider game of all time. It broke all the rules because its creator, the now-legendary Shigeru Miyamoto, didn't know them to begin with. It not only launched the career of gaming's most celebrated creative mind, it gave birth to the jump-and-run platform genre as we know it, and established Nintendo as perhaps the industry's longest standing superpower.

PAS House – A House made for Skating: Imagine a city of the future where skateboards are used as the primary form of transportation and recreation – in and out of your home. A utopia city for skateboarders would mean that a skateable path, like a ribbon connecting everything together, links each building in an unending ability to keep in motion on your board. The PAS House takes this concept and brings it to life through an architectural project mixing a modern single family home with a skateboard ramp structure – all from an environmentally-driven perspective.

John Lasseter shows his Hawaiian shirt collection
(Youtube Direkthawaii, via Cartoonbrew)
John Lasseter, Chef-Animator von Pixar, zeigt seine Hawaii-Hemden-Sammlung. Aus dem Artikel zum Video vom San Francisco Chronicle:
John Lasseter, as Pixar fans know, wears Hawaiian shirts every day. A couple of years ago, when I was at Pixar for another story, I heard Lasseter casually mention that he organizes his shirts by subject. I made a request earlier this spring to see the “Toy Story” and “Cars 2″ director’s filing system first-hand, and was shocked when he not only agreed, but said it was OK if I bring a video camera.
Which is how I found myself inside a two-time Oscar winner’s closet, filming him with a Flip cam I had never operated before, while asking questions like “Do you feel completely disoriented wearing long-sleeved shirts?” And then the April Fool’s jokes started …
Pixars John Lasseter im Onion: I’ve Got You Dumb Motherfuckers Eating Right Out Of My Hand
Tolles Posting von Pixar-Chef John Lasseter auf TheOnion.com: „Jesus Christ, we’ve got you dummies eating up this works-of-cinematic-beauty shit like your miserable little lives depended on it.“
Pixar is bulletproof, assholes. We can put out any old piece of shit that perfectly examines universal themes of love and friendship and just walk away with record box-office numbers. In fact, I think I’ll have my award-winning design team get cracking on an anthropomorphic piece of shit right now. Yes. Shit. I’m talking actual human feces here, folks. We’ll give it eyes and limbs, and—I don’t know—call it Danny Caca. Brad Bird can make a story about how it got lost on its way to the sewage treatment facility. Its best friends are a used sewage-logged tampon and a hypodermic needle. Then we’ll just sit back and watch the receipts come in.
Yeah, it’ll have heart and depth, but still, it’s going to be a talking piece of shit. Kids won’t flush for years because of it.

Pixars „Up“ from 1965
(Youtube Direktup, via Polkarobot)
Ivan Guerrero hat nach Ghostbusters 1954, Raiders of the lost Ark 1951, Forrest Gump 1949, Empire Strikes back 1950und The Avengers 1952 nun einen fiktiven Trailer für Pixars „Up“ aus dem Jahr 1965 rausgehauen. Die Reihe halte ich ja für eins der schönsten Remix-Onlineprojekte überhaupt. Hier eine Frame für Frame-Analyse des Fake-Trailer:
Von Youtube:
What if… Walt Disney produced “Up” in the 1960s?
Ah, the swinging 60s. It was a time when films were dominated by flying automobiles and flying nannies. It was also a time when live-action Disney films flourished and spawned such hits as “The Love Bug”, “The Absent-Minded Professor”, and “The Monkey’s Uncle”. In an alternate reality, this era also saw the production of the high-flying adventure-comedy, “Up!”. Starring Spencer Tracy and Kirk Douglas, “Up!” followed the oddball escapades of the elderly widower, Carl Fredricksen, and his earnest band of misfits as they traveled through the wilds of South America. Produced two decades after “Saludos Amigos” and “The Three Caballeros”, the film continued the Disney tradition of telling stories set against Latin American backdrops. […]

Pixar-Mitarbeiter Rodrigo Blaas hat sich von seinem Job eine einjährige Auszeit gegönnt, um diesen mehrfach ausgezeichneten Gruselanimationskurzfilm zu produzieren. Gibts über Weihnachten bei Vimeo online zu sehen, Snip von der Website zum Film:
Alma is Rodrigo Blaas’ first short film as a director. Originally from Spain, Rodrigo Blaas has worked in animation for more than ten years, in Spain and in the United States.
Seizing the possibility of directing his first independent short film, Rodrigo Blaas asked some of the best artists in their field to take part in this independent project: French animator Bolhem Bouchiba, character designer Carlos Grangel and Sergio Pablos, ArtDirector Alfonso Blaas, music composer Mastretta and sound designer Tom Myers.
Inside Pixar – A Photo Tour
From Toy Story to WALL-E, Pixar has produced some of the world’s most beloved animated movies of the last decade and a half. From their Emeryville campus, a short hop from the city of San Francisco, Pixar’s strive to innovate and passion for story has seen them mine cinematic gold pretty-much consistently since their first feature.
Pixar’s true first short– Andre & Wally B
Many people think Luxo Jr. is the first Pixar animated film (see below), but it’s technically the Adventures of Andre and Wally B, produced while the soon-to-be Pixar crew was still at Lucas studios. Watch this and ask yourself–can you believe this was made in 1984!?
