      txt: The Slow Movement: Making a Connection
      Why is this happening? What is wrong? What are we searching for? The one thing that is common to all these trends is connection. We are searching for connection. We want connection to people - ourselves, our family, ourcommunity, our friends, - to food, to place (where we live), and to life. We want connection to all that it means to live – we want to live a connected life.

      txt: Perché un festival del copyleft - Copyleft Festival 2008
      La sequenza più logica sarebbe: l’opera circola gratis, il gradimento si trasforma in passaparola, ne traggono beneficio la celebrità e la reputazione dell’autore, quindi aumenta il suo spazio di manovra all’interno dell’industria culturale e non solo. E’ un circolo virtuoso. [en] The most logical sequence would be: the work circulates for free, his approval spread as word of mouth, it will benefit the fame and reputation of the author, and then increase its influence within the cultural industry and beyond. It's a virtuous circle.

      txt: SNACK CULTURE - www.circuitooff.com/
      Snack Culture è la fruizione di contenuti culturali sempre più condensati: un assaggio di musica con il podcast, una sitcom di due minuti, un mms o sms. I ritmi di vita oggi sono accelerati, per poter guardare un video, ascoltare musica, leggere un libro e guardare un film il tempo dedicato si riduce a pochi minuti; si sceglie tra le varie opzioni come se si scegliesse tra diversi snack. [en] Snack Culture is the fruition of cultural content increasingly condensed: a taste of music with the podcast, a sitcom of two minutes, a mms or SMS. The pace of life today are accelerated, in order to watch a video, listen to music, read a book and watch a movie time spent is reduced to a few minutes, you choose between options as if they choose between different snacks.

      txt: All the fun of the art fair - From The TimesOnLine
      There is not much difference between an art fair and a fun fair. Behind the gaily painted façades and the smiles of the stallholders they are both, fundamentally, all about money. [...] Frieze has become a phenomenon because it understands a basic principle. Art fairs have to be fun. They are not about dry academic assessment of the contemporary. They are about entertainment. They must not encourage prudence. They must promote competitive consumption. In a fairground atmosphere, financial caution is more likely to be cast to the wind.

      txt: Ars Electronica 2008 - A New Cultural Economy: The Limits of Intellectual Property.
      After all, regardless of the perspective from which one approaches this issue—that of the Internet pirates, the inventors of a new information commons, the pioneers of a sharing economy or the apologists of the creative industries—one thing remains true: if knowledge and content actually are to be the new capital of postindustrial society, then they have to circulate and be accessible by all.

      But he's not concerned about viability or walking into a "freeconomics" black hole. "Our premise is that there will of course be some students who spend nothing, they just consume the free book online, but we believe students are consumers and they will pay for convenience if the price is right," [Flat World Knowledge] says.

      txt: OPEN XI - 11 Esposizione Internazionale di Sculture ed Installazioni / OPEN XI, International Exhibition of Sculptures and Installations - from 27 August to 28 September 2008 at Venice Lido and on the Island of San Servolo.
      Il percorso espositivo si snoda lungo i lavori di quarantaquattro artisti provenienti da tutto il mondo per costruire un pensiero geografico; non solo una soglia etnica e politica ma soprattutto un’idea. Uno spunto per poter parlare di viaggi ed attraversamenti, di forze e poteri. [en]: The itinerary of the exhibition presents the works of forty-three artists from all over the world, creating a geographical thought; not only an ethnic and political concept, but above all an idea. A cue for talking about travels and crossings, strength and power.

      txt: Edinburgh festival: art as theatre - What is the most theatrical visual art at this year's festival? - Jonathan Jones on blogs.guardian.co.uk
      Let's face it, Edinburgh festival is about live performance. It's about theatre, it's about comedy, and although the Edinburgh Art Festival, now into its fifth year, keeps getting stronger, it would be ludicrous to think it's visual art that brings summer crowds to the city.

      Un consiglio ai giovani cineasti? "Scegliere storie di una semplicità elementare, che è la cosa più difficile. Non mettere troppe cose e troppi personaggi nel tentativo di renderle interessanti. Sono le storie semplici che nel tempo continuano a emozionare". ------------------------------ [en] A tip for young film makers? Choose stories of elemental simplicity, which is the hardest thing. Do not put too many things and too many characters in an attempt to make them interesting. These are the simple stories that continue to emotion us over the time.
