XXIst century's icons & myths mapping our daily roaming en el Laberinto de la soledad #45

While men never end to fall from their masculinity in Western movies (see The Misfits, Alien, El secreto de sus ojos...), some young women are not afraid of auto-irony: Claire Bourdillon is one of them and she seems to be well-rooted in her century.

Public Billboard of Globalized Town into Public Billboard of pixelled Metropolis #26

Chanel's chest for the street has been lifted from Arab Parrot when in city of The Angels. 'Are you happy' map is not anonymous but from an unknown source to me.

Accueillant centre du monde

Le Centre du Monde, à Belle-Île en mer dans le Morbihan
Le centre du monde est à la fois un lieu de résidence et un projet artistique.
Les artistes invités (trois par année) disposent d'une maison sur l'île pour une période d'un mois.
L'idée centrale de la résidence étant de faire l'expérience de l'isolement et de l'insularité, aucun dossier ou projet n'est demandé avant le séjour et aucun thème n'est imposé.
Chaque résident doit simplement témoigner de son passage par des documents (images, textes, oeuvres...) qu'il laisse ensuite à la disposition de l'association R1. Les résidents peuvent acquérir des livres qu'ils versent à "la bibliothèque du centre du monde". L'ensemble des documents constitue une banque de données qui est mise en forme et présentée comme une sculpture en perpétuelle évolution.
L'association R1 est subventionnée par la DRAC Bretagne, le Conseil régional de Bretagne et le Conseil général du Morbihan.

Epiphany is hard Labour too #57

Shooter: Ellen Jantzen (whose web-site maybe displays the worst self-portrait of a photographer that I have ever seen). To be a writer according to a Primo Levi's metaphor is to become invisible during your life-time of work. Another available status is as follows:
"“I became a writer in the same way that I became a prostitute. First I did it to please myself, then I did it to please my friends and finally I did it for money. It’s much harder to be a writer than a hooker because men are pickier about what they read than what they fuck, since they’d sooner fuck trash than read it.”(Sebastien Horsley)

Rappel à l'attention des silencieux sélectifs & des tolérances publiques pour M. GuèreL'un

« Vibre… vibre essence même de l’ombre, en aile en gosier, c’est à forces de périr, le mot nègre, sorti tout armé du hurlement d’une fleur vénéneuse, le mot nègre, tout pouacre de parasites… le mot nègre, tout plein de brigands qui rôdent, de mères qui crient, d’enfants qui pleurent, le mot nègre, un grésillement de chairs qui brûlent, âcre et de corne, le mot nègre, comme le soleil qui saigne de la griffe, sur le trottoir des nuages, le mot nègre, comme le dernier rire vêlé de l’innocence, entre les crocs du tigre, et comme le mot soleil est un claquement de balle, et comme le mot nuit, un taffetas qu’on déchire… le mot nègre, dru savez-vous, du tonnerre d’un été que s’arrogent des libertés incrédules ».

Worst EU Lobbying Awards 2010 : competition is launched !

In the EU mechanisms, consulting economic forces & being communicated positions or claims from lobbyists is an institutional routine, for NGOS as for industries (Democracy may take many forms and shapes).
Nevertheless, some of those representatives or spokesmen deserve from time to time a distinction for being such a "slap-me-face" lobbyists when they meet the Legislator for promoting their interests.
Friends of the Earth Europe and LobbyControl have decided to highlight those 'slap-me-faces': nominees are (here comes the democratic shame):

Worst climate lobbying:
* BusinessEurope
* ArcelorMittal
* RWE

Worst financial lobbying:
* Royal Bank of Scotland
* Goldman Sachs and derivatives lobby group ISDA
* Hedge fund and private-equity lobby group AIMA and EVCA

You can even vote with full knowledge to grant the Worst EU Lobbying Award to one of them.
