Wim Crouwel Archive - Iso50
[From: Aisle One // Iso50]
Found these on Iso50, the blog of a very talented artist and musician, Scott Hansen.
Aisle One posted earlier on this incredible Wim Crouwel Archive. The Het Geheugen van Nederland has generously archived over 500 of the Dutch master’s works. Break out your printers, you could probably get some decent prints out of some of these. I have his book but a lot of these are completely new to me.
Look Around You!
I know this show is rather old news, but great nonetheless. I swear I could have just heard Boards of Canada playing in the background. Did you know man has been using Iron since the stone age? I did!
Look Around you!
The internet and the future (circa 1988)
[From: Space Collective]
A talk with Isaac Asimov, the great science fiction writer, about what the future holds. Did we just miss the coming of the Singularity?
The sound of our solar system.

Our solar system as a music box. One of the most beautiful things I've seen on the internet. Enjoy! http://www.whitevinyldesign.com/solarbeat/
Tatsuyuki Tanaka
[From: Desparchando]
Tatsuyuki Tanaka is a fantastic Japanese Illustrator who caught my attention quite a while ago. Here's what io9 has to say:
Tanaka was one of the key animators on Akira and was responsible for, among other things, the animation of Testuo’s rapidly mutating arm. His still illustrations draw from similar imagery, telling stories of young people set in a crumbling future, and filled with grotesque experiments and bizarre creatures.
The Radio Station that Will Change your Life
... If it hasn't already.
Based in Los Angeles, KCRW's program "Morning Becomes Eclectic," has already introduced the world to bands such as Beck, Fiona Apple, Coldplay, Dido, and Norah Jones (among many many others).
As written in a NYT article about them, "''Morning Becomes Eclectic,'' and KCRW as a whole, are renowned for purveying the contemporary music equivalent of art-house films or literary fiction, a genre the rock critic Robert Christgau calls ''semipopular'' music, marked less by style than by a certain base-line intelligence and tastefulness"

The photography of Myoung Ho Lee
Myoung Ho Lee is a student, lecturer and photographer in Seoul. He uses giant backdrops to isolate trees from their natural surroundings and turn nature into human-made art.A Church Party Unlike Any Other - San Francisco's Episco Disco
Grace Cathedral is a landmark of such size that you would doubtedly miss if you ever find yourself in San Francisco's Nob Hill district. Set among old school hotels, fancy dog parks, rich old ladies, and pre-war brick apartment buildings, the huge Episcopal cathedral towers magnificently above the daily San Franciscan fog.
Every Sunday the neighborhood is filled with the sound of ringing bells calling crowds to mass. Every morning the streets are filled with children's laughter from the playground of the all boys' school held on the premises.
Once a month, however, the cathedral halls and arched ceilings reflect a very different kind of sound -- the funk beat from a DJ spinning behind huge speakers set up right next to the Holy Water basin (which is conveniently located next to a make-shift bar). You heard me right.

Voltage - Animated perfection.
Just found this on Vimeo. Simply fantastic!
Just like modular synthesizers, people connect with each other in order to achieve diverse objectives. In Voltage, robots, half-human and half-synthesizer, powered by a huge amount of energy, connect to each other in an electric and chaotic trance.
