The site is conceived by two artists, Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher. The basic idea is to set 'assignments' to anyone, anywhere who wishes to participate. The site has become a gallery space which people use to display their work. Some people (American people) have even held exhibitions of their assignments. With assignments like 'Take a picture of your parents kissing' or 'Describe your ideal government' the solutions range from beautiful & touching to naff & stupid. On the whole the site is worth a roam. I think the concept is really admirable, and I'm impressed that over 5000 people have participated in the project, but something tells me that this idea just wouldn't capture the imagination of a European audience. A book has just been published by Prestel about the project. The book is a bit unnecessary. Why do people feel the need to convert a inherently web-based project in to a printed hardback coffee tabe book? 141 0 Yuri Ono 0 1 1 0 2010-03-10T20:52:25+00:00 165 702 http://learningtoloveyoumore.com/ Lascivious Wyld Stallyons 2007-11-06T02:26:06+00:00 The Doll is a short film about death, desire, and robots; made for boutique lingerie label Lascivious by Moving Image upstarts, Wyld Stallyons. Lascivious approached Wyld Stallyons with the idea of producing a collaborative short film which would act as a viral campaign for them, and also a promotional piece for Wyld Stallyons. Inspired by the infamous Real Doll sex toys, a token dollop of Greek myth, and countless teenage evenings watching straight-to-video sci-fi b-movies of dubious quality, Wyld Stallyons quickly developed a concept based around the idea of a mail order sex robot, delivered in parts. Once assembled, the robot becomes sentient and takes a shine to its owner's lingerie, with fatal consequences. The idea encapsulated everything Wyld Stallyons loved: action, drama, death, robots... and hot ladies in sexy underwear! The key to The Doll’s success is the intensive post-production led by Wyld Stallyons' director of animation, Chris Sayer. As well as obvious visual effects shots such as attaching the doll's arm, and creating her glowing eyes, there were dozens of other more subtle vfx shots, such as adding a city to the blacked-out windows and tracking blood onto the bed; shot months later at Wyld Stallyons HQ. Finally the film was edited, graded and subtle sound effects and foley were added. 116 0 Director - Jason Arber Visual Effects - Chris Sayer Producer - Richard May 1 0 0 0 2010-03-10T01:43:38+00:00 196 1179 http://www.thedoll.tv
