E V O L V I N G . . .

After four months of cosmic void the three followers we have are probably wondering about which kind of drugs we are doing these days. Well, actually most of us are quite sober in this moment and we are working to make this lil' kid evolve into something bigger, faster and stronger.
Stay tuned on our facebook page to witness the birth of a freaking monster.

DREAM FACTORY

Norvegian film company Welterwerk is making me love northern Europe even more than I usually do (and this means beyond the human possibilities).
Not only their output is classy, nostalgic and unbelievebly elegant, the coolest thing about this people is that they work with a very down to earth setup: the following video has been shot with an hacked Lumix GH2 camera and some vintage lenses (a japanese one and a german one), which means less than 1000$ of equipment.

In this era of surplus, of fancy people all with their shiny 5Ds, well this just feels so damn good.

Soundtrack: Siriusmo - Nights Off

OPPOSITES ATTRACT

The idea was simple; Launch a QR code, one of the most innovative technologies of the XXI century, made by Portuguese cobblestones, one of the most ancient Portuguese traditions.
From the fusion between technology and historical traditions a new and innovative way was born to promote Portugal abroad and to provide relevant cultural content for tourists visiting Chiado. 

CURIOSITY FILMS

How many cameras can we find on Curiosity rover, the wall-e like robot that is actually rooming around the surface of Mars? Let's find out.
The rover's mast features seven cameras: the Remote Micro Imager, part of the Chemistry and Camera suite; four black-and-white Navigation Cameras (two on the left and two on the right) and two color Mast Cameras (Mastcams). The left Mastcam has a 34-millimeter lens and the right Mastcam has a 100-millimeter lens. There is one camera on the end of a robotic arm that is stowed in this graphic; it is called the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI). There are nine cameras hard-mounted to the rover: two pairs of black-and-white Hazard Avoidance Cameras in the front, another two pair mounted to the rear of the rover, (dashed arrows in the graphic) and the color Mars Descent Imager (MARDI), for a grand total of seveteen cameras.

Despite this unbelieveble ammount of hardware, it' absolutely not easy to output such an ultra-resolution, smooth-motion, detail-enhanced, color-corrected, interpolated from the original 4 frames per second to 30 frames per second footage. This video took fours weeks in the production, and plays real-time at the speed that Curiosity descended to the surface of Mars on August 6, 2012. If we think about it, it's the first proper sci-fi movie from the red planet. 20th Century Fox better start bewarin of Nasa entertainment.

BEYOND GLASS

If the concept of augmented reality always freaked you out and Google Project Glass is already freaking you out, than you should avoid to watch the following futuristic short by Eran May-raz and Daniel Lazo or you will probably freak out.

Avoid also furnitures and elegant people.

LET'S BREAK THE ICE

Luke Million did it again! After the unbelievable success of his pumping iron workout track "Arnold", he's now paying omage to the Califonia's Governor once again, this time with a synth banger track loaded with puns from the 1997 movie Batman and Robin by none other than the "coolest" villain of all times, the one and only Mr. Freeze.

Now that it's clear that Luke has a crush on Arnie, we are pretty sure that he won't have problems to find some good lines to work on for the next years.

WHAT-A-WIG!

The concept is simple and it is another visual exploration of something new and totally different: advertising photographer Tim Tadder found a bunch of awesome bald men and hurled water balloons at their heads, to capture the explosion of water at various intervals.
He used a laser and sound trigger to capture the right moments for each subject to create just the head of hair that fit best with the face.

FILES IN THE HOLE

Are you using the Tor onion routing system and you are still paranoid about the security of your connection? Then you may consider to go for ‘Dead Drops’ the most underground network on this planet.

Dead Drops is an anonymous, offline, peer to peer file-sharing network in public space.

USB flash drives are embedded into walls, buildings and curbs accessible to anybody in public space. Everyone is invited to drop or find files on a dead drop. Plug your laptop to a wall, house or pole to share your favorite files and data. Each dead drop is installed empty except a readme.txt file explaining the project.

Dead Drops is open to participation. If you want to install a dead drop in your city/neighborhood follow the ‘how to’ instructions and submit the location and pictures.
