As the late sci-fi author Philip K. Dick, who I really wish was here to react to the rapidly cyborg-like technology advances, forebodes in his 1978 essay “How to Build a Universe That Doesn’t Fall Apart Two Days Later“: What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudorealities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. Mark Mussler, Happy Pets, Thibaut Brevet, Cem Sever, “Tattooar” (2011-13) Potentially, the technology of layering one reality over another offers tantalizing possibilities for the integration of information into our daily lives, like the way we already rely on Google maps to get where we’re going (Google is really ahead on all of this). Liron Kroll, “Last Year” (2013).

parody Art in the drone age Taken from the June 2013 issue of Dazed: The future rarely comes to pass the way we imagine, or, more accurately, as we hope for. But in the case of drones, we were warned. Hollywood (or George Lucas) looked into its science-fiction crystal ball and projected that the camera would fuse with microcomputing and satellite technologies to form the foreboding symbol of our time: the unmanned aerial vehicle, or drone. Essentially, it’s a set of multiple eyes capable of staying up for hours, communicating back home and taking instruction via satellite. US army drones are controlled by teams of two (one pilot and one “sensor operator”), situated miles from conflict zones at a base in Nevada. He became fascinated by drones as early as 2003. His 2010 video Drone Vision exploits a glitch and security flaw in the way the images were transferred from the drones to the US-based pilot via unencrypted satellite uplinks. “We’re moving away from the notion of the soldier as the heroic character.

THRILLING! TOTALLY NUDE! B films are the wild west of the American movie landscape. Earning its title from the long-abandoned practice of attaching risky low-budget films to first-run — or “A” — features on a double bill, B films favor no particular genre or era; any Hollywood production is subject to its own B treatment, provided that its profit potential has been established. Unable to rely on substance alone, B productions have mastered the art of marketplace recognition through bold slogans and type design, shocking imagery and loud colors. While following a similar trajectory to mainstream title design, B-movie titles’ nonexistent budgets often invited novice designers and craftsmen from other trades. It’s equally true that many B titles borrow liberally from their big brothers. Strangers on a Train: The 1940s and Film Noir *Major studios at the time were: Fox Film Corp.
