“A Fake is A Fake” Is a new communication/media-criticism ongoing art-project from Les Liens Invisibles. It’s a free service where you can run a blog with ready-made themes that are clones of popular CI’s like Financial Times, White House or the Bundeskanzlerin design. “Get a free Account, choose a mask, start faking!”

“You were told that a new democracy of communication was possible, that the lies of corporate media were to disappear and that your voice was going to play an active role in the formation of public discourse.
You were deluded into believing that even the world, this world, would become a better place through detailed diffusion of low-cost technologies, through the birth of telematic networks and the establishment of blogs and social networks.
While the watered-down fantasies that came with the rise of web 2.0 are being dissolved, a bitter consciousness remains: that communication itself, after all, is an illusion. That information, however probable it may seem, is still a fiction and that a fake, in the end, is only a fake. Anyway.”

Looks like great fun and i allways loved the idea of deconstructing corporates by simply faking their look. “A Fake is A Fake” takes the primary punk method a step further into our 2008 digital era. Nice!

Us Design Studio, always famous for blurring the boundaries between design and art, made a new piece:

“Free to roam on green pastures for health, happiness and recreation, with perminant access to over 60 free on-site classes and activities, ranging from yoga to guitar lessons.”

Even availlable as “Reared in Office Conditions”. Haha!

So einige “erfrischende” Ãœberschriften und Bebilderungen lassen dieses Instructable zu einer amüsanten Lektüre werden.

Never forget: “If it’s Yellow, let it mello, if it’s brown, flush it down!”

Viele andere, mehr oder weniger alltagstaugliche, aber definitiv sehenswerte grüne Instructables findest Du in den Gruppen: Energy Efficiency und Living Without Oil. Grundsätzlich finde ich übrigens, dass solche DIY-Communities einen schönen Beitrag zur Recycling und Rethink Kultur bieten und zeigen, dass Selbstmachen kein Verzicht bedeuten muss, sondern sogar Spass machen kann! Ebenfalls empfehlenswert ist das Make Magazine.

 

Didn’t know that Vista comes with a built-in adblocker! And how well it works…  :D

Everytime exciting to see that japanese people seem to be basically affected to absurdity… “oh - ahh”… even the japanese on-screen graphic design is kind of… hum… “outstanding”! (Which is no offense at all - all japanese guys i’ve met were very friendly, good fellows)

Nevertheless the topic is a nice picture for man intentionally taking an influence on nature and the power behind it. Find other - a little more serious & aesthetic - videos here.

“Once a year busloads of Nazis from all over Scandinavia arrive at the little town of Lund, Sweden. They come to march in honour of Karl the 12th, who is buried there. Despite people disgust and negative media coverage, the Nazi community is still growing. To annoy the Nazi marchers the town was covered with banners and posters for a fake “Nazi Gay Parade”.”

Hahahahahahahaha…
