A drugged rainbow
21 Jul“The camera could not capture the vivid intensity and brightness cause the camera wasn’t on drugs” wrote someone on YouTube regarding this hilarious video. I am not sure what these guys took, or if they even took anything but their reaction to this amazing rainbow sure leads me to believe that they were in some state of cosmic enlightenment, and the camera does manage to capture the mood of that moment. Funny, amazing video!

Attack of The Killer Ants
17 JulIt sounds tacky: an unexplained cosmic event causes ants to increase their intelligence and try to take over the world. But the movie “Phase IV”, 1974, By Saul Bass (who is best known for his opening titles and posters for Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger and many others) is a slow, poetic and extremely beautiful film. I loved the way he films actual living ants and 1960’s futuristic technology: from squeaking gigantic computers to geodesic domes. will the end of life as we know it will come from these little creatures? or is their technocratic, authoritarian society only a symbol of our own?
Spaceship Babies – Spaceship Earth
16 Jul“You are me and I am you, that’s the kind of stuff love can do”. This beautiful paean to the spaceship earth would have made Buckminster Fuller shine.
