Apparat – »Song of Los« directed by Saman Keshavarz. Brand new clip of Sascha Ring from his current album release »The Devil’s Walk«. It is highly themed with retro-styled visuals and the little story has a surprise ending. Not to be missed are the many clips with robots, a nice Machtdose collection of human-machine interfaces.
Up until today I had a very different vision of soviet roadside bus stops. The photographer Christopher Herwig carried out a wonderful study of the most particular places. The following collection of images was taken during 2002 and 2006. On Herwigs homepage is a brief introduction to this work.

don’t miss these clips…
Fair Ohs – »Everything Is Dancing« directed by Dave Ma. The truth about Batman and Robin as we have not known it before.
Chilly Gonzales – »You Can Dance« directed by Jonathan Barre. Rediscovered pt. I: This clip is full of self-confident eroticism of quite normal women. Fanatstic.
She & Him – »Don’t Look Back« directed by Jeremy Konner. Rediscovered pt. II: Director Jeremy Konner made one of the best clips in the early months of 2011. The retro design and vintage look is amazing.
Cut Copy – »Blink And You’ll Miss A Revolution« directed by Emile Sornin. »Blink And You’ll Miss A Revolution« features apes finding the body parts of the band’s members in a cave which they use to put on a concert.
Gold Panda – »Snow & Taxis« directed by Ronni Shendar. Rediscovered pt. III: green, blooming, experimental and rhythmical pulsating.
Norman Palm – »Easy« directed by Frank Höhne. Rediscovered pt. IV: One of those clips which have the focus on typography. Very stylish.
Millennium – »Spring« directed by Millennium. New side project of Norman Palm. Image noise and abstract figures.
Barry Underwood examines the effect of light pollution on natural landscapes in a series of photographs that feel ethereal and fantastical, despite being rooted in reality. Read the whole interview with Underwood on Juxtapoz.

Die Vorratsdatenspeicherung steht wieder auf der politischen Tagesordnung – und es gilt, sich ihr entschlossen zu widersetzen. Sascha Lobo hat für Spiegel Online ein paar brauchbare Argumente zusammengetragen.
Natürlich ist berechtigt zu fragen, warum die Vorratsdatenspeicherung in jedweder Form überhaupt schlimm ist. Einen Teil der Antwort führt der IT-Experte und Anwalt Thomas Stadler aus, der sie als »Dammbruch« bezeichnet: es handelt sich um eine automatisierte Kommunikationsüberwachung aller Bürger, zu jeder Zeit, ohne Anlass, ohne jede richterliche Verfügung. In der Tat gab es eine solche ständige Großüberwachung in der Bundesrepublik noch nie.
