RT @jeffnoon: Climate is the planet thinking. Sunlight is love, rain is sadness, snow is hidden desire. Lightning is a sudden idea. Fog is lost memories.

Chancha Vía Circuito developed his latest mixtape. The mixtape is rooted his latest release but layered with exclusive B sides, new remixes, mashups, and tracks from some of Chancha's favorite artists blended together in a mix that explores the vast spectrum of music brewing in Chancha's head. Chancha dives into the roots of Latin American folklore to take you on a journey from the south of Argentina up through Peru, Bolivia, through the rhythm of the Andes all the way up to cumbias of the new millennium. This journey is what makes the Los Pastores mixtape the perfect complement to Rio Arriba, declared by magazines and the public alike as one of the best records of 2010. Los Pastores Mixtape was originally released on the website of the renowned music tastemaker magazine XLR8R.

What people tweet in San Francisco: “@pixlpa: anybody selling mosaic-blur lingerie yet that wud b hot, right?”
Located at the foot of the Hochschwab Mountains, in Tragoess, Styria, Green Lake is one of the most bizarre natural phenomena in the world. During the cold winter months, this place is almost completely dry, and used as a country park where hikers love to come and spend some time away from urban chaos. But as soon as temperatures rise, the snow and ice covering the mountaintops begin to melt, and the water pours down, filling the basin below with crystal-clear water. Water levels go from one-two meters at most, to over 10 meters, in the early summer. The waters of Green Lake are highest in June, when this extraordinary place is invaded by divers, curious to see what a mountain park looks like underwater. Fish swimming over wooden benches, a grass-covered bottom, trees, roads, roads and even bridges create a surreal setting that feels like it belongs on dry ground. That’s because for half of the year, that’s exactly where it’s at.

Take them out as needed. 5. All you’ve really got in life is story. 6. Command the audience with your lens. 7. Nothing can defeat a director who is one with his actors. 8. Surround yourself with improvisers. 9. Directing is not for the faint-of-heart. Or the sane. 10. Be an enlightened despot.

"Field is a development environment for experimental code and digital art in the broadest of possible senses. While there are a great many development environments and digital art tools out there today, this one has been constructed with two key principles in mind: Embrace and extend — rather than make a personal, private and pristine code utopia, Field tries to bridge to as many libraries, programming languages, and ways of doing things as possible. The world doesn't necessarily need another programming language or serial port library, nor do we have to pick and choose between data-flow systems, graphical user interfaces or purely textual programming — we can have it all in the right environment and we can both leverage the work of others and take control of our own tools and methods."
