Open letter to Ray Harryhausen →

It was a delightful letter from you, Mr. Ray Harryhausen, thanking me for my “enthusiastic and kind letter” delivered to you while in Los Angeles. I couldn’t believe. That letter is a precious treasure that I kept framed for so many years, like my dream of doing animation. Now, after I finally decided to take action and invest my future in animation by doing a PhD research on it, that letter...

The Gallery of lost art | Tate →

“The gallery of the lost art is an online exhibition that tells the stories of artworks that have disappeared. Destroyed, stolen, discarded, rejected, erased, ephemeral - some of the most significant artworks of the last 100 years have been lost and can no longer be seen.” We still have 232 days to see that temporary online exhibition.

Shot in color but released in black and white, and animated using stop-motion figures, the film about a boy, Victor Frankenstein, and his (undead) dog actually has its roots in a 1984 short that director Tim Burton made before his career as a feature director took off.

Do Like Steve Jobs Did: Don't Follow Your Passion →

I shared the details of Steve Jobs’s story because when it comes to finding fulfilling work, the details matter.

But he didn’t follow this simple advice. Apple Computer was decidedly not born out of...

Documenta (13) 2012 →

dOCUMENTA (13) is dedicated to artistic research and forms of imagination that explore commitment, matter, things, embodiment, and active living in connection with, yet not subordinated to, theory. These are terrains where politics are inseparable from a sensual, energetic, and worldly alliance between current research in various scientific and artistic fields and other knowledges, both ancient...
