Time as Space in Comics
Yves Bigerel takes on the thorny issue of comics as new media. Simultaneously very simple and very interesting. Rather than attempting to absorb all of the media available in new media (that way lies animation and cartoons), Bigerel channels and extends McCloud to create what amounts to a user-controlled slideshow. Surprisingly, it works.

Cut Up
Christian Verdun’s cut-up collage of Lincoln’s assassination is composed, Burroughs-fashion, of text from magazines. You’ll want to check the Flash version, which allows for zooming, in order to read some of the text. Too cool.
See this page for some background, links to several news articles, and print ordering info.
Tarkovsky’s Polaroids
Tarkovsky apparently liked shooting Polaroid. More links at Boing Boing.

Live! Singing! Ants!
Adword Fail: The YouTube ads that get laid over this when it plays largely deal with ant poison…. Sort of an ant version of emo.

The Archigram Archival Project
Too cool:
The Archigram Archival Project makes the work of the seminal architectural group Archigram available free online for public viewing and academic study. The project was run by EXP, an architectural research group at the University of Westminster. Archigram Began Life as a Magazine produced at home by the members of the group, showing experimental work to a growing, global audience. Nine (and a half) seminal, individually designed, hugely influential, and now very rare magazines were produced between 1961 and 1974. The last ‘half’ was an update on the group’s office work rather than a ‘full’ Archigram magazine. The Six Members of Archigram are Peter Cook, David Greene, Mike Webb, Ron Herron, Warren Chalk and Dennis Crompton. Cook, Greene and Webb met in 1961, collaborated on the first Archigram magazine, later inviting Herron, Chalk and Crompton to join them, and the magazine name stuck to them as a group.
