What’s the opposite of cheap, easy, global? How about this, a proposed 10,000 year old clock. Lots of background info on http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com. And some big time TED-esque thinking at the Long Term Thinking blog.

Surely the highlight of this year’s RCA Design Interactions show must be this, Alice Wang’s grass greenness measuring device and associated PARKTONE cards. Allows users to measure the green quotient of their garden lawn against the standards set by the Royal Parks of London. One for today’s modern living. Thanks to we-make-money-not-art.com for reviewing the show and taking the pics so we don’t have to.

“Arguement” by McCall at Serpentine

The Serpentine are showing McCall and Tyndall’s “Argument” on Thursday 17th January. Any takers?

A screening of McCall and Andrew Tyndall’s feature-length film
Argument, followed by a presentation by artist Aurélien Froment, whose
work deals with archives and film as a metaphor. Argument is a dense
and provocative feature-length essay examining one issue of the New
York Times magazine to investigate the ideology of news, the language
of fashion and the construction of masculinity.
