It’s the day before the trial starts. Fredrik packs a computer into a rusty old Volvo. Along with his Pirate Bay co-founders, he faces $13 million in damage claims to Hollywood in a copyright infringement case. Fredrik is on his way to install a new computer in the secret server hall. This is where the world’s largest file sharing site is hidden.

Amon Tobin – ISAM 2.0 live

In 2011 Amon Tobin showed the world what the future of live electronica looks like with his incredible ‘Beyond 3D’ ISAM Live show. A world tour followed, including sold out shows at The Roundhouse, Brixton Academy and the Sidney Opera House (twice) to name but a few. And now, in 2012, Amon Tobin presents ISAM Live 2.0., an evolution of ISAM meaning it’s bigger, louder and more spectacular than ever. With a structure twice the size of its prior incarnation and new visuals set to a more beat-heavy soundtrack from his Two Fingers side-project ISAM 2.0 is the audiovisual show to watch in 2013. To make this occasion even more special this will be the first and last time ISAM 2.0 visits London, as Amon moves on to concentrate on new future projects. You really don’t want to miss this.

SAMSARA (from the creators of Baraka) – trailer

Samsara is a Sanskrit word that means “the ever turning wheel of life” and is the point of departure for the filmmakers as they search for the elusive current of interconnection that runs through our lives. Filmed over a period of almost five years and in twenty-five countries, Samsara transports us to sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial sites, and natural wonders. By dispensing with dialogue and descriptive text, Samsara subverts our expectations of a traditional documentary, instead encouraging our own inner interpretations inspired by images and music that infuses the ancient with the modern.

Damage Report – A könyv

Hogyan képzeltük el a jövőnket? És mi lett helyette? Hogyan működnek a jövőkutatók? Mik azok, amiket nem jósoltak meg, de megkaptunk? Milyen egy közösségi oldal az üzemeltetők oldaláról? Hogyan értjük a zenét, más kultúrákat és egymást? Milyen kulturális mozgalmak vannak a Tron és a Mátrix mögött? És tényleg van internetkapcsolat a Föld és a Mars között? Ezek a könyv legártatlanabb kérdései.

Egy egészen rendhagyó könyvről lesz most szó, amit egy nagyon kedves barátom, Bari Máriusz (aka Damage, ill. d4m4g3) neve fémjelez. Aki valaha is hallott már az LD50-ről, valószínűleg tisztában van kilétével és azzal is, hogy Dam stílusa finoman szólva is egyedi. Aki viszont nem ismeri őt, most hihetetlen dolgokban fog részesülni. Tömény cyberpunk, japán pornó, digitális jelenjövő és vérben úszó szélessáv a klikk után. Continue reading »
