November 19, 2008 in Aesthetics, The "Art World" | Tags: Christie's, Joan Anderman, Punk For anyone out there with several thousand disposable dollars and a place on the mantel for the Sex Pistols’ first press release - announcing the arrival of four teenagers who hate everything - this is your cultural moment.

Crossing Chaos - (USA)
Wayne Groen interviewed by Tom Bradley. 3:AM: Please tell us about the name Crossing Chaos Enigmatic Ink . WG: “Crossing Chaos” transcends the everyday norms of both reality and fantasy. Many of the “chaotic” central themes found in fantastic literature and art are not a far stretch from what we find in our everyday lives. Sex, depravity, greed, sloth, violence, death, etc., are all, for the most part, simplistic and mundane reflections when applied to art without the addition o

Recently a conference took place to discuss Lord Carters report on Digital Britain A while ago I asked David Bollier who had worked with the Aspen Institute for 15 years to help draft a response to the Digital Britain report - as I believed so much more was on offer, which as a Fellow I did ask the RSA to engage with - we wrote, Seizing the Moment: Can Britain Harness the Promise of Digital Networks?

The Septagon Briefing #5: Genre - (USA)
Written By: Dr Preston Park Cooper One of the most frequently-asked questions of professional authors is “Where do you get your ideas?” This really translates into “I want to be an author; where can I get ideas?” That’s a valid question. One place you can start is: Genre—namely, examining the genres you like. What attracts you to your favorite genres? Therefore, answering that question is what I’ve done with the column below—pinning down exactly what constitutes different genres of popular-c

And yet, for reasons that aren’t entirely clear to me, thirty years worth of expatriate writers and journalists in China have largely faile

Game Success or Failure: Should Developers Stick To What They Know? - (USA)
Game Success or Failure Should developers stick to what they know ? Do gamers ‘really’ want change? by dkpatriach: ©2008 David Hilton: A change is as good as a holiday, they say.

Downtown Central-Cities as Hubs of Civic Connection - (USA)
There's been a torrent of spirited banter lately about the reemergence of downtown central-cities. Much of this raucous debate is between advocates of urban revitalization, who offer an assortment of anti-sprawl messages as justification for this movement, and those who see suburban growth options as essential to quality of life in America. Adding to the fray are environmentalists who see housing density and alternative forms of transportation as the panacea for confronting our carbon-choked wor
