Geometric and Colored Architecture in Brittany

Le photographe français Matthieu Venot a créé une série de photographies intitulée « Prism », dans laquelle il met en image l’architecture colorée et géométrique de la ville de Brest, en Bretagne. Ces couleurs associées au ciel bleu breton donne une série originale de par le cadrage en moyen format et l’angle de prise de vue choisi, qui donnent tout leur éclat aux détails photographiés.

Seeds of Knowledge

like the seeds in pine cones that only open when exposed to great heat and then take root in the ashes.

by

From Adbusters #119: Manifesto For World Revolution Part 2

Too many laws — physical, manmade, karmic — have been broken,

too many crimes committed against both nature and humanity, too much suffering rained down on too many innocents, just so that a blind—headed brain—addled few can get their fancies tickled.

There will be — there must be — recompense. Not for the sake of revenge, or righteous wrath, but simply because that is the way of things: to seek and maintain balance.

And know this: the balance will be restored, one way or another. We may still have some choice as to how… but I see no reason to expect our present systems, shortsighted and dysfunctional and corrupt as they are, to make the right decisions to prevent disaster.

And so, in the course of that restoration, there will be some awesome hell to pay.

But on the other side of that time of fire and grief, I see seeds germinating, seeds that are being planted now as they have been for the past generation. They are seeds of knowledge waiting to be rediscovered and new values waiting to be realized. They are like the seeds in pine cones that only open when exposed to great heat and then take root in the ashes.

We will come through this, and we will come through wounded, but we will come through wiser. There will be lessons seared into our collective consciousness, I hope and believe that they will be remembered and honored for generations to come. The notions of disconnection and separateness, of dominion and domination, will seem as absurd as the belief in a flat Earth in a geocentric universe does today.

Guantanamo Diary

All the guards were masked with Halloween-like masks, and so were the Medics.

by

From Adbusters #119: Manifesto For World Revolution Part 2

Marc Nagtzaam

My diet times were deliberately messed up.

I was starved for long periods and then given food but not given time to eat. “You have three minutes: Eat!” a guard would yell at me, and then after about half a minute he would grab the plate. “You’re done!” And then it was the opposite extreme; I was given too much food and a guard would come into my cell and forced me to eat all of it. When I said “I need water” because the food got stuck in my throat, he punished me by making me drink two 25-ounce water bottles.

“I can’t drink,” I said when my abdomen felt as if it was going to explode. But xxxxxxx screamed and threatened me, pushing me against the wall and raising his hand to hit me. I figured drinking would be better, and drank until I vomited.
All the guards were masked with Halloween-like masks, and so were the Medics.

…today we’re gonna teach you about great American sex.

“Get up!” said xxxxxx. I stood up in the same painful position as I had every day for about seventy days. I would rather follow the orders and reduce the pain that would be caused when the guards come to play; the guards used every opportunity to beat the hell out of the dentainee. “Detainee tried to resist,” was the “Gospel truth” they came up with, and guess who was going to be believed? “You’re very smart, because it you don’t stand up it’s gonna be ugly,” xxxxxxxx.

As soon as I stood up, the two xxxxxx took off their blouses, and started to talk all dirty stuff you can imagine, which I minded less. What hurt me most was them forcing me to take part in sexual threesome in the most degrading manner. What many xxxxx don’t realize is that men get hurt the same as women if they’re forced to have sex, maybe even more due to the traditional position of the man. Both xxxxx stuck on my back rubbing xxxx whole body on mine. At the same time they were talking dirty to me, and playing with my sexual parts.

Many of the brothers here are losing their minds,

especially the younger detainees, like xxxxx because of the conditions of detention. As I write these words, many brothers are hunger-striking and are determined to carry on, “no matter what.” I am very worried about these brothers I am helplessly watching, who are practically dying and who are sure to suffer irrepairable damage even if they eventually decide to eat.

A Shoe Factory Transformed Into an Urban Playground

Situé à St. Louis dans le Missouri, le City Museum est un terrain de jeu urbain de 600 000 mètres carré, construit sur les ruines d’une ancienne usine à chaussures de 10 étages. Le sculpteur et artiste Bob Cassilly est à l’origine de ce projet sur lequel il travaille depuis 1997, après des années de rénovation et construction. Bien que Cassilly se soit éteint en 2011, le projet, lui, continue de se construire et de s’agrandir avec de nouvelles attractions, grâce à un groupe de 20 artistes très connus du défunt.

Ford Transit "Testing" (2015) 1:30 (UK)

So Fernando made the mistake of doubting that the Ford Transit gets tested for six months on Twitter. And Pablo made the mistake of liking that tweet. So Ford decided to prove them wrong, by allowing them to be part of the testing process. And oh how much fun is the voice over guy having. So much silly. Also there’s a behind-the-scenes at the end.

Ford Transit "Messy Eaters" (2015) 1:40 (UK)

Last week Paul tweeted “The Transit’s load floor is apparently waterproof and easy to clean. #IllbelievethatwhenIseeit. So Ford decided to demonstrate it for him. Great choice of music, too. Be sure to watcht he behind-the-scenes at the back half. Very funny stuff, right down to the gleeful VO.

Ford transit "The Drop" (2015) 1:00 (UK)

Francois didn’t believe Ford Transit’s side mounted tie-downs are as strong as Ford claims. So Ford decided to prove it to him. So dark and funny juxtaposed with the Joe Cocker song. At the moment when the doors fly open, I imagine no acting was required for those screams.
