Painting Video

Video painting. The multimedia duo SWEATSHOPPE (Bruno Levy and Blake Shaw) has some clever ideas...Combining LED technology with camera projection and movement tracking software (also outputting the X-Y coordinates for the projector), they are basically able to paint video on the wall.

In this video, 'the landing', they showcase their work.

The Bubble

A controversial book and a nice advertisement. The bubble is a collection of Berlusconi's most funny, shocking or least intelligent statements and the ad says just that. The ad made me laugh, though the title of the book  is a slightly more gloomy...

Massive Attack - Live at Vorst Nationaal with Martina Topley Bird

Een fijn concert gisteravond van een Massive Attack dat duidelijk in vorm is. Samen met zangeres Martina Topley Bird én met backup van een uit de kluiten gewassen videoscherm, zetten ze een stevige show neer in Vorst, die al mijn verwachtingen inlosste. 

Robert Del Naja en Grant Marshall (+ supporting act) lieten hun legendarische melancholie niet achterwege, noch de trippy beats, en wist bij tijden ook stevig te rocken, wat het uitverkochte Vorst absoluut wist te appreciëren. Een mix van hun meest gekende klassiekers en nieuwe nummers, hard en zacht, geëngageerd en soms gitzwart. De klassieker 'Teardrop' met Martina Topley Bird in de glansrijke hoofdrol (en in het oogspringende outfit) was alvast een onvolprezen voltreffer, wat mij betreft althans. Een glimps ervan staat op band.

Dat er een duidelijke socio-politieke boodschap schuilt achter de pakkende onliners en flarden tekst op het grote scherm valt moeilijk te ontkennen, maar 'te zwaar op de hand liggend' zou ik ze nauwelijks durven noemen. Ik ben ieder ieder geval naar buiten gegaan als geëntertaind muziekliefhebber, niet als een depri anti-kapitalist. Bovendien was het ook allemaal netjes vertaald naar het nederlands/frans, waarvoor dank.

Nu uitkijken naar dat nieuwe album.

Love is not on TV

In this (old) interview on Brazilian Television, Hunter Campbell Patchy Adams, the American physician, social activist, citizen diplomat, professional clown, performer, and author who lies at the base of the Hollywood movie "Patchy Adams" starring Robin Williams, explains how Hollywood misinterpret his story to make a mediocre comedy. Clear answers, some wise words and a great example of intellectual movie criticism.

Car free, Care Free

I'm a bit late with this post, cos the 'car-free-sunday' in Brussels was already more than a week ago, but as the summary is based rather on what I saw than on the actual fact of having a virtually car free city center that day, i judge it less important (to my own convenience, you understand).


Anyway, as I have no bike (in Brussels) I was forced to jump on my skateboard as only means of travelling. Lukily I did have a cycling companion to take care of the uphill parts. A logic pleace to roll down to was the skatepark at La Chapelle (Kapellkerk), where Brussels FM had installed their truck to pump some beats. Ragga at my time of arrival ,I remember. Nice.






After a beer and hanging around around we continued our way to Bar Recyclart, where some customizing was going on for bikes and skateboards. Also some fine skateboarding as a matter of fact. I took the opportunity the check the inside of the heavily painted station again and took some pics to document.


It was a nice day and a nice initiative to ban all cars out of the city for a day. Therefore I must disagree with the nerdy chit chat about Brussels being even more dangerous when the cars are banned... Car free is care free :)
