This reminds me, I need to get a photograph of the Twister Adrian got in the office secret santa. We all looked at the instructions and swooned at the typography.

Merry Fuck You Christmas, too.

Awesome marketing, not an ARG. Get that? Not an ARG.

Adrian put my slides from Let's Change The Game, but they're, er, just a draft version. I'm working on a long form post about the whole thing that will appear shortly (ie: when I've finished the damn thing) on the STS website. It's intended to be the Christmas Special.

Yes, but. I suppose all I'm really saying is what everyone else has said rather more eloquently in the comments to Margaret's piece. We're storytellers, and the reason why we keep turning to linear narrative media like novels, films, tv is that they're really quite good at linear verbal/aural/oral storytelling. Which is what we've grown up with and are good at interpreting. Scultpture, opera, etc. is "harder". Not to say it's not as good. Just that it's harder. Really, though: I agree.

"Audience, conceived by rAndom International, is an installation consisting of around 64 head-size mirror objects. Each object moves its head in a particular way to give it different characteristics of human behaviour. … When members of the audience occupy the space, the mirrors inquisitively follow someone that they find interesting. Having chosen their subject, they all synchronise and turn their heads towards them. Suddenly that person can see their reflection in all of the mirrors." – AWESOME. MORE PLEASE.

For some bizarre reason, I only discovered Sippey's blog today, which should go some way toward explaining the onslaught of links. This video is awesome.

"The only way this show could work today would either be to go towards CSI, and become an inventors 24, or run towards satire and camp like Get Smart, making fun of hero shows by winking at the audience. But MacGyver sits right in the middle in no mans land, which makes the pilot episode a fascinating watch." – I loved this show.
