This Post has Been Declared a Link-free Zone
"The signs are that many of us struggle these days to read in a concerted, attentive and linear fashion. In The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains, Nicholas Carr argues that we have become incredibly adept at flitting from one thing to another, filtering, selecting and absorbing little bursts of information as we go. The screen environment, with its many competing nodes of interest, encourages this kind of scanning and scavenging, and we readily embrace every kind of electronic information source, priding ourselves on our quicksilver modern ability to multi-task."
I find that it is very difficult to read on a screen, concentration is constantly interrupted. It's like getting sucked into a wiki wormhole, jumping from one topic to another and never fully understanding anything. Twitter is the biggest example of this constant jumping, i couldn't be bothered reading a whole article most of the time, I feel like Karl Pilkington on the Ricky Gervais Show. It becomes dangerous when you just read the headlines, because sometimes you get the wrong end of the stick.

Interactive BlaBla
New interactive project for the NFB by Vincent Morisset
BlaBla explores the fundamental principals of human communication. The viewer makes the story possible: withou him or her, the characters remain inert waiting for the next interaction. The spectator clicks, plays and searches through simple, uncluttered scenes, truly driving the experience.

Starsuckers (2009)
Starsuckers is a feature documentary about the celebrity obsessed media, that uncovers the real reasons behind our addiction to fame and blows the lid on the corporations and individuals who profit from it. Made by the same team behind BAFTA nominated Taking Liberties, it will be released in cinemas on the 30th October - unless Rupert Murdoch shuts us down first. Or Max Clifford. And perhaps Bob Geldof.

The New Humanism
"The conscious mind hungers for money and success, but the unconscious mind hungers for those moments of transcendence when the skull line falls away and we are lost in love for another, the challenge of a task or the love of God."
