Saul Williams, from the zine “Excuse Me, Can You Please Pass the Privilege?” — click the link to download, the whole thing is a fucking great read. And thanks to garconniere’s reblog which pointed me thataway!
i’m surprised that in all the conversations lauding how great of a feminist adam yauch/the beastie boys were, i haven’t really seen ANY race analysis so far. can anyone point me in the direction of articles they’ve read which have done that? if we’re going to eulogize the beastie boys and talk about their significance it isn’t possible to do so without talking about that.
also reblogging this because it’s fucking awesome and you should download that zine.
A snapshot from a recent visit to KesselsKramer in Amsterdam.
This is a custom-designed chair prototype. The idea was that the consumer would buy the metal cube, take it home and then pound it into whatever shape they found to be the best fit.
It’s an inversion of the Ikea model: instead of trying to put together a chair from a diagram and then having a violent emotional meltdown when you discover you’ve totally fucked it up, with this chair you can release your anger from the beginning as it’s intrinsic to the design process.
I would really love one of these right now.
Here’s a little something to kill some time :)
If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one colour - pink.
However if you stare at the black “+” in the center, the moving dot turns to green.
Now, concentrate on the black “+” in the center of the picture.
After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single green dot rotating.
It’s amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don’t disappear.
Proof enough that we don’t always see what we think we see…
