Neil Gaiman talks

If you haven´t already watched this I would really encourage you to do so, it's quite inspirational actually:

Neil Gaiman Addresses the University of the Arts Class of 2012 from The University of the Arts (Phl) on Vimeo.

Manifesto of the day - The Holstee Manifesto

Yeah!

Ron Gilbert on developing Maniac Mansion

Maniac Mansion was a groundbreaking Commodore 64 adventure game released in the 1980's. Here's a nice and interesting talk by one of the developers, 25 years later, reminiscing and describing the development process. Having an incredibly soft spot for the magic of old-school computer games as well as listening to people talk about their creative processes, this made my day.

The Swimming Cities of Serenissima

An artist project started in 2009. I'd really like to join in!

Glenn Brown

Great paintings by English artist Glenn Brown. I have seen one years ago in Rotterdam and I was impressed with the dynamics and intensity of the painting. I kind of forgot about him but now his work crossed my path again. Awesome!

John Cleese on creativity

Definitely well worth watching!

This one's for you Marcus

A new song by David Lynch. Watch it here, directed by the man himself. Obviously.

promising trailer:

This looks cool. Nice colors, not too smooth and great scenery. I'm in the mood for a polar expedition!

Cool sound sculpture

I'd really like to see that one in real life! Must be incredible!

It's called the "Singing Ringing Tree" designed by architects Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu and stands in the Pennines in Lancashire, England. Would be worth a trip!

Keith Arnatt on tv

Back in the days when television was way more open to experiments, the artpiece "self burial" by Keith Arnatt was shown at WDR 3 programm without any announcement

Between 11th and 18th of october 1969 each evening there was shown one of eight photographies of the artist where you see him gradually sinking into the ground. The pictures where shown for several seconds right after the main news broadcast at 8.15 pm and for another time one hour later in the middle of whatever program was running.

The mystery was cleared at the end of the week by an interview with the artist.

Also nice: "Notes from Jo 1990-1994", a series of blown-up images of the notes left around the house by his wife shortly before she died.
