Repo!: the Genetic Opera scene Mark It Up is finally back on YouTube, thanks to Eftelsander.

Never been a fan of Lara Croft, haven’t played Tomb Raider and the only archaeologist mystic adventurers I dig are the Planetary crew. But you really did see this coming, didn’t you? Alison Carroll (23) from Croydon is the new LC. And I’m not posting the insanely bad NSFW crotch shot here. (via daily mail)

In this design project, called Signterior, architect Nobuhiro Nakamura uses a computer-like interface to help people to navigate a large Shanghai office and shopping structure. (link, via io9 via dezeen)

Last time I had this Hungarian blogpost with a question, like, would RIAA copyright The Black Plague, if they could? Well, I didn’t exactly approach the press guys with that, but I didn’t really need to, as the next day Open the Future wrote a thought-provoking post about viropiracy or viral sovereignty in connection with the Indonesian H5N1-case, namely, quote, the Indonesian argument — now set to be ratified by the Non-Aligned Movement general gathering in November — is that the information derived from viruses found in a particular country should be the property of that country to control as it sees fit, unquote. Although that’s because the Jakarta government believes the WHO-affiliated US Medical Naval Research unit is the metaphorical equivalent of a devilish electric urethra catheter in the Islamic land, this basically means, pandemic info is not fed in the infostream directly.

Being a child was immensely fun, building post-apocalyptic landscapes out of chunks of lego blocks you could instanly kill a weightlifter or alternatively, a bull, with, but the most creative thing (apart from a very bad hair crashlanding day in NYC) I ever came up with was a tidy little moon base in the corner of the room. Antennas, chemlabs and all that shit, very Parisien, but not really creative.

So all these weird-ass lego creations on Playlandstation (really selected from the lego orgasm galore of Brickshelf) just give me the love bumps and I will so buy everything to build an Alien soldier (by the Arvo brothers), shiny black, oh my god. (My friends have recently made potentially lethal efforts to move me away from a shelf of Technics. Rovers, mecha and everything that we could build REAL mechas from. Beware!)

If you’ve been checking up on the Neuromancer movie news, you’ll probably be aware that Case has been renamed to Cage in the official press material, the teaser poster looks like a Bauhaus/steampunk wet dream on mescaline and a tint of artstyness and Hayden Christensen is not listed on the movie’s IMDB page at the moment.

You might not know, though, that there’s a longer and quite creative thread about Neuromancer on Coilhouse (who have actually released their first print version that doesn’t get into wide circulation so order them like fuck, I’ve already done so) and there you have a YouTube embed of Kahn’s version of the George Michael track Freeek and it looks very slick to be cyberpunkish, if anything. If Kahn can keep a steady hand on the visuals, Neuromancer’s going to be a decent slap on the face. (via coilhouse)

I’ll ask the same question here, though: tell me about your ideas, who’d you cast as the main characters?

The high art trend of launching mobile museums into the wild is gaining steam with the latest “artcraft” coming in the form of the H Box. The structure was produced by fashion brand Hermès and designed by architect Didier Fiuza Faustino, who calls his work “a nomadic object informed 1970s space landing crafts.” Inside the H Box films by international creators such as Su-Mei Tse, Yael Bartana, Dora García, Judit Kúrtag, Valérie Mréjen, and Shahryar Nashat are shown. The next stop for the artcraft is Yokohama, Japan from September 13 to November 30. (link, via dvice)

Rájöttem, mire jó John Coltrane.
John Coltrane ingyen tartja az ívfényt az ágyatoknál. John Coltrane ingyen szaxofonozik nektek (fáklya híján az is megteszi, bár hangosabb, elnyomja a záróizmok kéjes recsegését). John Coltrane elkísér a boltba melegítõben tejért, ha már nincs jobb dolga. John Coltrane nevének kezdõbetűi egybejátszanak Jesus Christéval, élhetünk a gyanúperrel tehát, hogy Jézus él és megvállasodott annyira, hogy tudja cipelni a batár rézkürtöket. Is. Ahogy elnézem, John Coltrane áramvonalasra szarja a mogyorót. John Coltrane koffeinízt kölcsönöz a sonkászsemlének, olykor kutyát eszik. John Coltrane ma elegáns pályán lép be a légkörbe.

Mondok jobbat, fogjuk fel az AIDSet adathalmaznak, hiszen ha harapdálja a DNSt, van benne adat, amivel le is tudja azt harcolni. Ha adat, lejátszható. Bármi lejátszható zeneként, csak egy kellôképpen szabadelvû player meg egy kellôképpen nemsajnált-nemóvott hangfal kell hozzá, a tesztszignált csak kb. egy óráig bírják a középkategóriás hangfalak, talán Isten hangja szól majd a HIVbôl, talán nem. A kérdés, a kérdés csak az, a RIAA levédené a pestist, ha megtehetné? (dbc, öt éve így)

Australian cyberpunk duo Angelspit is busy posting the production diaries of their new album and slowly, if they keep their pace of posting and I keep my pace of neglecting posting here in favor of glorious work and keeping my nervous system intact (which is far funnier than it sounds, trust me), [planetdamage] will become nothing more than their foothold. Blimey.
