Uniqlock

As you probably noticed, I couldn't resist adding the lovely uniqelock animation to the blog. It really deserves all the awards it's been winning lately, as it is one of the smartest examples of viral advertising I have seen in a while. Though I am still somewhat in the dark what it actually advertises. Is it radio, is it music, is it a clock, is it the Japanese ballet dancers. Someone will have to clear this up for me sometime. 

update: I think it's a clothes store, as they do this seasonally and the last qlock featured cashmere sweaters. Didn't Ed Wood have a fascination with cashmere? 

Just click on the Qlock to find out more, hear music, see it in a larger window and generally enjoy it. 

I really wonder how this was done: random films tied in to a time-controlled flash animation? Director? It's deceptively simple, yet beautifully complex. Love it!

Update of the Update: Angora. Not cashmere. Angora.And yes, it pretty definitely is clothes.

IGAF: An ahistoric crisis?

One of the many reasons I have grown to appreciate interviews with Arundhati Roy over the last year of what I'm calling her book tour is that, in contrast with many speakers at conferences and interviewees, I never have the feeling she is trying to sell me something. She speaks in a calm, collected voice, full of knowledge, experience and occasional wisdom, without being desperately full of herself. One of my favourite sayings is, so far, goes something like "The most successful revolution was the secession of the rich onto a global planet, wherefrom they cannot see the poor. There is no more India, no more USA, no more Europe- there is planet Rich, then there is planet Poor, and both are global."* Carers at their limits- now more than ever. For €2400 and some chocolates?  A month or so into what may be a new normal, my life is still pleasant- with some adjustment, I am, so far, privileged in this absence of change and an ability to follow the crisis as I would fol...

The Books of Faragh Vol. 3: Of March 2020

The May Issue is available at  Modern Graphics in Oranienstr., Berlin.  It's all about lines.  Below: The April Issue of the Book of Faragh.  The comic I chose for this month was "L'Arabe du Futur 2 (1984—1985)" by Riad Sattouf. If the first volume is anything to go by, the second one (in French this time) should continue to be a thought-provoking journey through a youth in Syria and France.
