      txt from: The New York Times - By ALEX WILLIAMS
      “Our lives are just getting busier, the world is starting to throw more stuff at us,” he said. “Five years ago it was still pretty rare to have relatives sending you IMs. No one had Flickr feeds or Twitter. YouTube, Facebook and MySpace didn’t exist.”

      Facebook announced its new social advertising plans. text from: Rough type -The social graft
      Infect me. I'm yours. Facebook, which distinguished itself by being the anti-MySpace, is now determined to out-MySpace MySpace. It's a nifty system: First you get your users to entrust their personal data to you, and then you not only sell that data to advertisers but you get the users to be the vector for the ads. And what do the users get in return? An animated Sprite Sips character to interact with.

      Twenty minutes to understand problems and opportunities of the digital new age. from: TED Talks - Larry Lessig: How creativity is being strangled by the law
      Larry Lessig gets TEDsters to their feet, whooping and whistling, following this elegant presentation of “three stories and an argument.” The Net’s most adored lawyer brings together John Philip Sousa, celestial copyrights, and the “ASCAP cartel” to build a case for creative freedom. He pins down the key shortcomings of our dusty, pre-digital intellectual property laws, and reveals how bad laws beget bad code. Then, in an homage to cutting-edge artistry, he throws in some of the most hilarious remixes you’ve ever seen.

I take part you take part he takes part we take part you all take part they profit. (Slogan from Paris '68, remixed)

      The World Wide Warhol Economy

      from: Princeton University Press: intro to The Warhol Economy: How Fashion, Art, and Music Drive New York City - by Elizabeth Currid
      In The Warhol Economy, Elizabeth Currid argues that creative industries like fashion, art, and music drive the economy of New York as much as--if not more than--finance, real estate, and law. And these creative industries are fueled by the social life that whirls around the clubs, galleries, music venues, and fashion shows where creative people meet, network, exchange ideas, pass judgments, and set the trends that shape popular culture.
      from: Hu Jintao's keynote speech
      "Culture has become a more and more important source of national cohesion and creativity and a factor of growing significance in the competition in overall national strength," "...to vigorously develop the cultural industry, launch major projects to lead the industry as a whole, speed up the development of cultural industry bases and clusters of cultural industries with regional features, nurture key enterprises and strategic investors, create a thriving cultural market and enhance the industry's international competitiveness"

      ArtFutura 2007 - The Next Web - 25-28 October
      Barcelona Alicante Cádiz Granada Madrid Murcia Palma de Mallorca San Sebastián Valladolid Vigo Vitoria Zaragoza The eighteenth edition of the festival of Digital Culture and Creativity that has become a point of reference in Spain will take place in more than eleven cities from the 25 to the 28 October with an extensive program that will explore the most important projects and ideas that have arisen on the international panorama of new media, interactive design, videogames and digital animation over the last 12 months.
      The 2.0 revolutions that have taken place over the last two years have completely changed the face of the Web. They have transformed it into a space of social participation and collective cooperation that the first theorists of cyber culture of the early 90s would never have imagined. However, along with the boom of participative social networks on the web, some of the original utopias that understood Internet as an opportunity to build a parallel and autonomous world with its own rules have also regained strength. Among those who are starting to form the rules of a Web 3.0 and those who continue to defend a net understood as a large forum for the social debate of our time, we are starting to see the beginnings of a next web.

      From: "Ceci n'est pas le vide" - An encounter with the artist of transience Tino Sehgal. By Sebastian Frenzel - 09/06/2005 - www.signandsight.com
      "Generally our society defines itself through technical progress – development means technology's transformation of natural resources into ever more refined things. But we already have far more than we need, and the mode of production is not sustainable and on top of that, a bit boring. For me the question was how to oppose this without lapsing into asceticism."
      From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Tino Sehgal
      Tino Sehgal, born 1976, is an artist. After studying political economy in Berlin and dance in Essen, Sehgal began his work in the context of the visual arts in 2000. He has since exhibited at a number of important venues including the Institute of Contemporary Arts, the Tate gallery and the Venice Biennale.
      I agree (especially being able to stuff the plate on the table, when evening comes..). It was nice the Biennale performance: a group of fake stewards receiving the visitors with a surprising "It's so contemporary!"
