Another brilliant TED talk from a poet Billy Collins. The last poem which he read himself was a glimpse into what I, as well as almost every parent, do to my children. Laughable and so damnable, but how to help it?.. Great poetry and great animation! http://video.ted.com/assets/player/swf/EmbedPlayer.swf There is a website with more animated poems […]
Tony Orrico – choreography and visual art

Art and Facebook. Three artists interviewed
Found a brilliant article on a… technology blog. But that is a brilliant technology blog! “Facebook has already changed the way we communicate, creating virtual extensions of our real lives.

Новое, это хорошо забытое старое. Простыми средствами можно добиться замечательной выразительности. Краткость – сестра таланта. (Кротость таланту смерть.) Ну, а теперь!… Прошу любить и жаловать TotemX – Master of Nothing; bullshitter of the highest caliber! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-h8milUSoQ] Или вот это.
