MUSICA:Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip - Look for the Woman

PHOTO: UK Street Museum

Museum of London a lansat de curand una dintre cele mai interesante, folositoare si future-like aplicatii pentru iphone, din toate cate s-au creat pana acum.

Aplicatia se numeste StreetMuseum si a fost dezvoltata impreuna cu agentia de creatie Brothers and Sisters si se foloseste de Google Maps si geo tagging pentru a-i ghida pe cei care-l folosesc prin Londra unde, prin intermediul camerei video si a ecranului telefonului, diferite imagini istorice se “muleaza” pe cele actuale, la fel ca in pozele de mai jos.

Iata cum functioneaza:

Deschide-ti aplicatia si ii permiteti sa va localizeze pe Google Maps. O data harta incarcata, siteurile istorice vor fi marcate pe aceasta. Atingeti ecranul o data si veti primi informatii suplimentare despre locul respectiv si de doua ori pentru zoom.

Aplicatia isi arata adevarata valoare in momentul in care apesi butonul 3D view (conditia este sa te si afli in locul respectiv). Aplicatia va recunoaste locul in care te afli si va suprapune o imagine istorica pe imaginea curenta, cu ajutorul ecranului iPhone-ului.

PHOTO: Simon Schubert, OUT OF PAPER!

Simon Schubert is a german artist who makes art out of paper. But I don't know German. Simon Schubert said:"Being. Having been. Becoming. I- Morning – shadows from the right; evening – shadows from the left. At noon light and shadow may offset each other. What is existence? An instant. What is in it was hitherto not in it and is forthwith no more. Existence as a state is irreal, stirred from all that went before and all that is possible thereafter, and yet neither is in it; the former long dead, the latter perhaps not even germinating. Is there anything conceivable that could be more uncertain? Memories as delusional as expectations. Augustine put his finger on the spot: the past is not, the future is not, the present takes place at the border between the two. Thus the second is (should we think we are immortal) a synonym for eternity. Almost nothing, it is everything. It can expand, virtually. But then nothing is truly rational. Thinking, if it is to justify its name, is fantasizing: becoming aware through fantasizing of what you are, what has come down to you and want to go on having an effect. Naturally you go down no path a second time; even the one you think you know can be a path through hell or through nothingness. Both may be preserved in the universe that we believe we are in. Whatever totality lays claim to implies its opposite. If what happens to us is everything, then it is at the same time nothing. Everything that was is not, everything that will be is not. On the narrow edge to which we cling, nothingness is all. II - But then we do experience. How far is our own experience free of what has come down to us, as experience goes and per precept? Who am I beyond any so-called imprinting? Hypotheses: universally valid? And the much-cited thrownness? Life is being, having been, becoming. Experience is the inner acquisition of something by living it through. The great adventure? For everyone? If not, for whom then what? Illuminated, each of those concerned steps into the morning light; at sundown, in shadow, he might step back into the dark. I is another, Rimbaud said; perhaps he was conscious of the dimension of this statement. It holds true for every moment in life independent of the fact that I exist could turn those against me who sit in judgment. Whoever it may be who acts in me and out of me: I know I shall be his witness. Do I know it, should I know it? In ancient scripts there is talk of the sons of God who are to gather before Him. I am not named, but I know, even if I don’t believe, that I am one of them. III - The objects, the rooms, they seem to persist more. We encounter them; when we depart, we leave them untouched and empty. To us they only seem animated if, bethinking them near or far, we ensoul them. Their felt warmth vanishes with those feeling the warmth. Are they traps, does their emptiness enclose us? What would they proffer if we never asked? Does what is created possess the spirit of him who created it? Can spirit be forced to remain bound to one place? Verily everything is echo, a reaction. We ourselves are what we encounter in the objects, sometimes, for a while, often enough not. Whoever looks, dreams up, visualizes, a picture. Look, look once again, precise and sharp: never is the picture reliable. Every picture is inside, also that of the so-called outside world. World is always that of whomsoever perceives it, from moment to moment, unassured. Nothing can be held onto permanently; all possession is uncertain. You go from room to room, graze the walls, step across thresholds and treads, touch this, release that. And during this while, things feel our weight, our pulse, our radiation. They remain what they are it seems; yet longer is their span, more distant their disappearance. But would they exist at all if there were not the consciousness within which they are? A mirror without there being something to mirror would not be one. But it mirrors everything, even were it nothingness. from: Papierarbeiten/Paperworks – Simon Schubert, 2007, Meurer Verlag. *de la Hipmag

SPORTs: Gyor-Oltchim Rm Vâlcea, 25-25

Oltchim Râmnicu Vâlcea a obținut un egal, scor 25-25, pe terenul unguroaicelor de la Gyor, în semifinala pentru Cupa Campionilor. Dacă ignoranții spun că Oltchim are mari șanse de calificare, egalul îi oferă doar ocazia de a juca o finala pentru finală, la Vâlcea.

Deși Ramona Maier și Valentina Elisei au urmărit partida la televizor, celelalte extreme Ada Nechita și Roxana Gațel au fost cele mai bune marcatoare ale Oltchimului.

Antrenorul Radu Voina, cu un aer ușor franțuzesc, rugbistic, a contracarat avântul gazdelor jucând uneori cu doi pivoți.

Cristina Neagu(8) și Adina Meiroșu au fost ceea ce trebuiau să fie, adică playmakeri, în prima, respectiv a doua repriză. Cristina Neagu(21 de ani), jucătoare car a început handbal din curiozitate, vicecampioana europeană de junioare în 2005, a fost un fel de Xavi Fernandes pentru vâlcence, deși a înscris de puține ori. Dar a intervenit Paula Ungureanu, portarul revolutionar al Oltchimului, un fel de variantă tunsă scurt și oxigenată a Luminiței Huțupan. Paula confirmă atitudinea pe care i-a imprimat-o hair-stylistul. Pivotul Ionela Stanca, a marcat 4 goluri, păstrând reminiscențe din tinerețe, cu bucuria codițelor de la Mondiale, asemenea unei școlărițe.

Patricia Vizitiu înscrie pentru 23-25, golurile prin care Oltichim se desprinde, cu specialități provinciale, goluri de la șold, artă cochetă și exclusivistă.

Se șterge parchetul. Greșesc unguroaicele(ce răzbunător sună!), mai sunt 100 de secunde, Vizitiu epuizează o mingie. Înscrie Kovacsics.

Ada Nechita ține de minge, nu doar prima pagină a tabloidelor alături de Florin Costea. Mai sunt 18 secunde, scorul trebuie să rămână 24-25, dar unguroaicele înscriu. Meciul se termină la egalitate scor 25-25.

Returul se va juca peste o săptămână la ora 17.15, pe ProTv.
