Before the fire, we had had some "Phase II" projects in mind for some time after we moved in. The fire put us in a position where it not only made sense to do most of them while the house was being rebuilt (no point in redrywalling, restuccoing, and repainting twice), but we also decided to make the garage conversion more integrated. The original owners had done a half way conversion--they'd sealed the garage door and added a sliding glass door. We decided to finish the walls when we rebuilt, finish the floors, and divide the space into an actualy laundry room, a walk in pantry, and a large family room. For the pantry conversion, we took out the utility sink and stoarge cabinet next to it. The painter's tape on the floor shows our initial idea for the pantry space. We later changed it to be smaller, with the hallway a straight extension of the east hall.
The future is bright, but also blurry and blinding. Straightforward, but full of ties crossing. You only have to keep on going, but it sometimes you just don't feel it's that easy.
Is this the present or the future...!? Lets ask some kids around the world... Haven't they seen enough? Haven't they suffered enough? Lets pray we never ever get to see such a day in our country...
"Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...
Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.
It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?"

FUTURE IS NOW-Festival
Zukunft, Cabaret, Exil, Rosso, Helsinki, RiffRaff, Bäckeranlage - Zürich
Das FUTURE IS NOW-Festival, das bereits drei Mal erfolgreich Clubbeats und Indiesounds verzahnt hat, heisst neue Partner im Team willkommen. So sind die Red Bull Music Academy, das Kino Riff Raff und der Helsinki Club mit von der Partie. In Kooperation mit der Stadt Zürich findet erstmals auch eine Veranstaltung für Kinder statt. Das diesjährige FUTURE IS NOW geht am 7. Mai 2011 über die Bühnen.
Zu den Highlights des diesjährigen Programms zählen der Auftritt von Jojo Maier’s Drum’n’Bass-Liveformation Nerve sowie die erstmalige Durchführung einer Red Bull Music Academy-Session mit dem Warp-Act Africa Hi-Tech feat. Mark Pritchard & Steve Spacek. Freunde anspruchsvoller Clubmusik kommen auch dank den deutschen Houseinnovatoren Âme und Dixon sowie dem Jenaer DJ Robag Wruhme auf ihre Kosten.
Mit Geiom gastiert auch ein Dubstepact. Hiphop gibt’s von den Ladies Yarah Bravo und That Fucking Sarah, während die lokale Szene etwa mit einem Indiekonzert der Zürcher Band The Legendary Lightness sowie Techno-Livesets von Canson, Andri und Bang Goes vertreten ist.
In visueller Hinsicht hat das FUTURE IS NOW zugelegt: Die Zürcher Van Nutt und Buffet für Gestaltung präsentieren ein gemeinsames Lichtwerk. Das RiffRaff wiederum zeigt den Film «Oddsac», den die amerikanischen Soundmagier Animal Collective vertont haben.
This appeared one day on a roundabout near my house. At first I thought it was a half completed construction project, but what kind of structure would have bent steel gurders, maybe vandals have been at it who knows.
As time went by it did'nt change, I thought they must have run out of money, then a little garden appeared under it and then I thought what the heck is that, its a piece of public art !
I was driving with my dad one day and I pointed it out, I said look wot councils built on our roundabout, and he told me what its supposed to be, its meant to represent sheeves of corn in a field, the penny dropped.
Then driving past today I had an epiphany I could see the true purpose of the art. It was a vision of the future.
Metal sheeves of corn reaping a harvest from the wind....a wind farm.
Now I think its awesome, credit to the artist, they created a vision and a prophecy of the future. VAWT ( Vertical Axis Wind Turbines ) on the top of every lamppost reaping a new harvest from the wind.
This is an awesome idea, we have 7 million tall strong lampposts in Britain and a small VAWT on top of every one would go along way to meeting our future energy needs.
It makes perfect sense, we already have the structures, they are already wired up to the mains and they are situated close to urban areas where the electricity will be used. People can drive along the road and see these little fellas working for them, helping to power and heat there homes.
Who said art cant be useful and inspiring. Just a little suggestion though to future artists planning projects in Yorkshire, put a placade on it, so we have some idea what its supposed to be, and we dont return to default conclusions, that the councils has wasted our money yet again :)
Print run commissioned 20 top design studios / designers to contribute limited edition screenprints. These were exhibited at Kemistry Gallery and sold on Blanka, with profits to the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation.
A healthy state of mind is about challenging yourself, creating something that takes you out of your normal comfort zone. Something that initially feels awkward often has more longevity. We decided to bastardise two popular movements: Pop and Op art - in a disposable way. One uses optical illusions and geometric abstraction the other is characterized by themes drawn from popular culture. If our healthy side is about challenging the norm then our un-healthy side is our ever-increasing reliance on recreational and prescription drugs as well as our battle with mass consumption.
Future proofing design is near impossible but decent ideas are permanent.

Future Music Festival in Sydney beats a day at the races, by Eva Rinaldi
The Sydney leg of the Future Music Festival had been considerably hyped up for weeks, but I'm pleased to report that for the most part the substance lived up to the hype.
The 30 or so group line up was strong, with most attending wanting to see The Chemical Brothers, Dizzy Rascal, Kesha, Pendulum and MGMT. Well, that's what our spies in high places tell us.
Approximately 55,000 fans filled up the venue, Royal Randwick Racecourse, better known for horses galloping around the track, rather than for people trotting from stage to stage, seeking out their favorite performing artists to grace Sydney. Royal Randwick had never looked so colourful, sounded so loud, or had been so dirty (by the end of the last performances).
The audio distribution was solid to good I thought and the visual effects, signage and support staff were very good. The vibe was awesome, or was that the company I was hanging out with? Quite possibly both.
I found it quite a challenging festival to photography mainly due to the sea of humanity, with the usual elbows in the ribs by other photographers replaced by masses of crowds bumping into myself and camera, but my in-house bodyguard of sorts helped keep most of the rascals at bay (pun intended).
Meeting a group of friendly police officers on horseback was a highlight for me, as was getting to exchange a few photography tips with David the professional photographer, who I think is just too good and genuinely friendly to be called a paparazzi. It was sure a nice change to be surrounded by colleagues who didn't harass me, and only wanted the best, rather than the jealous and nasty ones, but enough about that for now. Aaron from St John's Ambulance, great to meet you also, and I'm glad the emergency body count didn't keep you too busy, but I did witness one person passing out, 3 arrests, and 2 people jumping barriers (all were later caught), but out of the 60,000 or so crowd, that's not bad.
I was impressed by the eats and refreshments. Food was included in the ticket pricing, at least at where I got to hang with the VIP's, and drinks were reasonably priced. Bathroom amenities were decent, with que lines not as bad as you might expect. Security officers and police were awesome to do with, but don't tell that to the fence jumpers who got caught, some rumoured to spend the rest of the night in the clink at Randwick Police Station.
Public transport was well catered for, but there should have been more taxis frequently the area, such was the demand.
Fun level was a 9 out of 10, but I thought media access could have been a bit better catered for, since there was a bit of "cattle treatment" at the event, Mind you, I am very grateful to Future Entertainment Group for helping make this possible. Ok, my ratings out of 10 for the acts I saw...
The Chemical Brothers - 7
James Holdroyd - 9
Dizzy Rascal - 8
Stafford - 6
The Presets - 9
Art VS Science - 7
Kesha - 5
Pendulum - 9
Zane Lowe - 8
MGMT - 8
Mark Ronson & The Business International - 8
Would I do it all over again? Absolutely. It was the day Randwick rocked for real, and I can't wait to do it all over again.

Future Islands are from Baltimore, Maryland and their new album "In Evening Air" is my favorite of the year so far. I saw them in Toronto recently and asked if I could do some portraits before their set. Very nice gents, and they always put on a crazy show.
Many titles of my pictures are lyrics of this band.
