“Mobile Experiential Cinema. The project is a roving, bicycle mounted cinematic experience that invites audience members to view a series of multi-part film segments that are screened onto the original sites where they were filmed. The project explores the paradox between a film experience and reality, while a narrative story works to blur these boundaries.”
Film Director: Timmer O’Phelan

When I was eight, I saw a documentary about the Galapagos Islands. I stared, fascinated by the enormous iguanas with their tiny heads and jagged combs. I still remember the breathless commentary: Day after day these animals bask motionless on the rocks. This is how the earth must have looked…

An innovative initiative is taking place in the Philippines to bring sustainable lighting to homes in impoverished communities. Empty plastic bottles are installed in the roof, filled with water and bleach they refract sunlight. These “solar light bulbs” provide light equivalent to a 55watt light bulb.
See how they’re made here. From Visual News

Created in Helsinki (Finland) in 2011, Restaurant Day is a one-day event that celebrates food culture. Everybody can participate setting up a pop-up restaurant in a park, on a street corner, in a sitting room or anywhere else. Next Restaurant Day will be on 19th August 2012 and will invade new cities.

When most people hear “Los Angeles” they might think of Hollywood, Beverly Hills, movie stars, etc. but sadly, the first thing that comes to mind for me is the wretched traffic. I only recently started going to LA more this past summer, actually and I really like it. The one thing that holds me back though is the traffic and I’ve been wishing this for a while, but it would be so nice to live in Long Beach so I could just take the metro into downtown. If I feel adventurous perhaps I’ll try it at least once when I’m back home.
Anyway, I just read this article on the city fix about how LA public transit is making a move to promote their services. I think it’s a fantastic idea and will help remove the stigma placed on public transit. Click on the photo for the article!
