How soap operas changed the world
27 April 2012 Last updated at 03:05 GMT By Stephanie Hegarty BBC World Service Soap operas aren't often celebrated for contributing to the good of society. Whether it's the materialism of Dallas or the idle gossip of Neighbours, they are better known for being shallow and addictive than for bringing about social change. But around the world the genre has succeeded in providing "educational entertainment" - a blend of public service messages and melodrama that has enraptured millions of viewers. The Archers is widely thought to be the longest running soap opera in the world It was in 1951 that BBC radio and the Ministry of Agriculture created The Archers, an "everyday story of country folk", which encouraged farmers to try new techniques to increase productivity in the years after WWII.

Sound art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sound art is a diverse group of art practices that considers wide notions of sound , listening and hearing as its predominant focus. There are often distinct relationships forged between the visual and aural domains of art and perception by sound artists. Like many genres of contemporary art , sound art is interdisciplinary in nature, or takes on hybrid forms. Sound art often engages with the subjects of acoustics , psychoacoustics , electronics , noise music , audio media and technology (both analog and digital ), found or environmental sound, explorations of the human body, sculpture , film or video and an ever-expanding set of subjects that are part of the current discourse of contemporary art.

Side 1 Side 2 Courtesy Simple in construction, yet profound in context, How to Make a Happening is Allan Kaprow delivering 11 rules on how, and how not, to make a Happening, an movement begun by Kaprow in the late fifties that is known for its unpredictability, open scores, and constantly-evolving form. On the first track, Kaprow speaks plainly into a microphone, delivering a private cut-to-the-chase style instruction on Happenings that is both informative and contradictory. Kaprow, known as a great teacher of the avant-garde (from Rutgers to Cal Arts to finally University of California, San Diego), delivers both a practical and theoretical how-to with an oftentimes dead-pan humor.

PRAIRIE HOUSE - HERB GREENE
The Greene home, created as a sculpture on the Oklahoma prairie evokes a complex set of references - primordial creature, shelter, protective hide, futurist object as the elements of surprise. It is architecture related to the Oklahoma landscape: prairies, winds and distances, clouds and planes. Cedar boards and shakes are collaged over a wood-sheathed frame surfaced with mineral-coated roll roofing, giving the house complex rhythms, fractures and metaphors of scales and feathers. The unfinished rough-sawn boards are used with vivid expression of their character not merely as fill-in for walls where stone or metal would work as well. Shingles add a delicate scale, and work on curved surfaces to good effect. Aluminum and granite are used for the carport and ramp providing contrast of color and substance for the wood mass of the main structure.

For the past year Hugo has been photographing the people and landscape of an expansive dump of obsolete technology in Ghana. The area, on the outskirts of a slum known as Agbogbloshie, is referred to by local inhabitants as Sodom and Gomorrah, a vivid acknowledgment of the profound inhumanity of the place. When Hugo asked the inhabitants what they called the pit where the burning takes place, they repeatedly responded: ‘For this place, we have no name’. Their response is a reminder of the alien circumstances that are imposed on marginal communities of the world by the West’s obsession with consumption and obsolesce. This wasteland, where people and cattle live on mountains of motherboards, monitors and discarded hard drives, is far removed from the benefits accorded by the unrelenting advances of technology.
