me news

sweaty palms

i have been asked to do a short lecture/presentation at the HKU art school in utrecht next monday, the theme is ‘self confidence’ and i’m already nervous… i usually spend my time safely hidden behind a large monitor when talking to the rest of the world… which gives me an idea…

the other talks are from talented designer ‘herman van bostelen’ and young start up ‘hoax’ (whom i taught at the HKU last year) looking forward to hearing them both

the ‘favourite website awards’ have announced their winner for 2010: arcade fire… seems fair enough to me, it was one of the most talked about & innovative things around this year (online)

the last living rose

documentary photographer ‘séamus murphy’ has directed the first video for pj harvey’s new album, they will be released one for one during the coming month…

in her own words as told to ‘pitchfork’: …he will also be making a film that will be coming out later this year. He’s a photojournalist whose work I came across from an exhibition of his work in Afghanistan over the past 10 years. He’s mostly a freelance photojournalist who works in conflict zones and doesn’t particularly work with people like myself…
