Sampler - Culture Clash. Sampler - Culture Clash logo, designed by Oscar Wilson Sampler - Culture Clash is a collaborative project initiated by David Littler, director of the London Printworks Trust, in association with the V&A. It brings the two cultures of embroidery and DJ-ing together to see what might happen when the two cultures clash. The word sampler is common to both cultures, but has different definitions and understanding depending on which culture you occupy. Introduction by David Littler Reasons for embarking on Sampler - Culture Clash I have two real passions in life - textiles and music. Very seldom do those two worlds meet. Sampler vs. sampler Can you explain the different uses of the term 'sampler'? Akai MPC 1000. When I ask my dj friends: 'What is a sampler? ' When I ask the same question to colleagues in the textiles field, they usually reply with the definition given in the Oxford English Dictionary: How did the project begin to take shape?

How did your ideas progress from there? Band Sampler, 1633. M jealous of zoe williams. I’m jealous of zoe williams Oh, I wish that I had been in Seattle when this was happening! New York based artist Zoe Williams created this project called Free Art* for Seattle’s First Thursday art walk. “Colorful felt balls were placed around the Pioneer Square area with tags stating that they were free to take, but in exchange for the free artwork, participants were requested to visit the project website and contribute to a collaborative story.”

I couldn’t find the site that went with this {I’m curious about the collaborative story part!} , but in any case, I would have been thrilled to find a sweet little felted ball that I could take home for my very own. I want a yellow one, please. And on that note, have a happy, colorful, fuzzy, art filled weekend! Violence Visual !!!: Irina Werning : Back to the Future. Irina Werning of Buenos Aires, asking her friends to re-enact their old photographs which he titled "Back to the Future". These photos are amazingly beautiful and i think it will give a lot of inspiration for other people to have some fun doing the same thing that she do now.

Website, from Pondly. Ridley Scott and YouTube Want You To Film One Day in Your Life. YouTube has announced a project called Life in a Day, which attempts to document one day, July 24, seen through the camera lens of people around the world. The project will be executive produced by Ridley Scott of Blade Runner and Gladiator and edited by Kevin Macdonald, best known for directing films such as The Last King of Scotland and One Day in September.

The film will premiere at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival; if your footage makes the final cut, you’ll be credited as a co-director, and 20 contributors will be selected to attend the premiere. If you're hoping for financial gain, however, you'll be disappointed; for this one, glory is your only reward. To contribute to the project, you need to capture July 24, 2010, on camera, and upload the footage to the Life in the Day channel sometime before July 31. As for what your footage should consist of, YouTube wants you to have no limits, to be personal, to film anyone you like and to preferably film the footage in high resolution. BOOK.
