All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace
ok ...... this is a must see
Adam Curtis blog on the bbc here: BBC - Adam Curtis Blog
watch episode one of three here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/b011k45f/
A series of films about how humans have been colonised by the machines they have built. Although we don't realise it, the way we see everything in the world today is through the eyes of the computers.
This is the story of the dream that rose up in the 1990s that computers could create a new kind of stable world. They would bring about a new kind global capitalism free of all risk and without the boom and bust of the past. They would also abolish political power and create a new kind of democracy through the internet where millions of individuals would be connected as nodes in cybernetic systems - without hierarchy.
The film tells the story of two perfect worlds. One is the small group of disciples around the novelist Ayn Rand in the 1950s. They saw themselves as a prototype for a future society where everyone could follow their own selfish desires. The other is the global utopia that digital entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley set out to create in the 1990s. Many of them were also disciples of Ayn Rand. They believed that the new computer networks would allow the creation of a society where everyone could follow their own desires, yet there would not be anarchy. They were joined by Alan Greenspan who had also been a disciple of Ayn Rand. He became convinced that the computers were creating a new kind of stable capitalism - "Like a New Planet", he said.
But the dream of stability in both worlds would be torn apart by the two dynamic human forces - love and power.Tuesday, 17 May 2011

There are different products on the site as well as different stages of simplifying the designs. Not all of them work that as well, sometimes the simple version is defiantly an improvement.

Login Change - READ
It turns out that we can't all use the same gmail account as the account would get locked down due to the many different sign in locations.
I have created accounts for everyone (Mat M I thought you could continue to use the current account as I'm not allowed to make anymore accounts!).
Now the names will be displayed when you post so you can see who posts what.
To Login:
add you initials where the stars are - studio7**@gmail.com
eg: for me it's studio7dg@gmail.com
Password is the SAME.
I'll remove this once everyone has been told on monday or something.

This was sent to me along with a load of other links,im working on a shoe design for a client and this along with more was sent as inspiration, i think its a very good example of work sitting outside the area of design your working in being a really good resource ,i think if you use ideas just set within your area than the work you produce wont move anywhere new
so for example if we just looked at shoe design than i would most definetly find it harder to make something coming close to original in this area.
looking at something like this takes me instantely away from what i might ordinerily produce for this project and makes think about the project from a new and interesting angle
ya dig?

i make no appoligises for my poor spelling
