To simulate the feeling of vertigo in her latest photo series, Marion Tampon-Lajarriete borrowed a few lines from the movie industry. First, she photographed her models in a typical studio.
Afterwards, she superimposed those images on top of stills from various movies, giving the photographs a realistic feeling of free fall.

Scarce and abundance as it applies to people.
“We have a scarcity of achievement… not because we have a scarcity of talent. We have a scarcity of achievement because we’re squandering our talent. And that’s not bad news that’s good news; because it says that this scarcity is not something we have to live with. It’s something we can do something about.”

“Stop Stealing Dreams”

Official trailer for the feature film on Vivian Maier, set to be released later this year.
From last month with Bijan and EveryDayDude down by the train tracks.
The New Museum is taking its current exhibition, “NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star,” onto the streets with “Recalling 1993,” which has transformed NYC pay phones into a hotline to the past. The show and its accompanying campaign celebrate a seminal time, New Mu argues, in NYC for the arts, politics and critical thought, and the adjunct “Recalling 1993” plays with a last remaining heirloom from that period: the pay phone.
Thanks to this collaboration between the museum and creative agency Droga5, New Yorkers can dial 1-855-FOR-1993 from any pay phone in Manhattan—roughly 5,000—to hear a story based on the ‘hood they’re calling from, told by a notable New Yorker. There are over 150 narratives from local legends, like Mario Batali looking back on the opening of his first restaurant—the still-thriving Babbo—to skater-style guru Dave Ortiz of Dave’s Wear House reminiscing on the youthful days he spent in the Meatpacking District’s smelly streets.
You can grab an aural slice of NYC’s 1993 until May 26, when the exhibit also closes; just be glad NYC’s cat-sized rats are still a thing of the past. Check out the website to see a map of the phones, and watch the video below for more info.

More than just a physical space, he explained, a city is a set of cultural norms. “It’s kind of a shared dream.” Stop dreaming, stop continually making decisions to maintain it, and ivy creeps up the walls.
Great mash-up of a couples round the world trip + the holstee manifesto.

Ito: There are nine or so principles to work in a world like this:
1. Resilience instead of strength, which means you want to yield and allow failure and you bounce back instead of trying to resist failure.
2. You pull instead of push. That means you pull the resources from the network as you need them, as opposed to centrally stocking them and controlling them.
3. You want to take risk instead of focusing on safety.
4. You want to focus on the system instead of objects.
5. You want to have good compasses not maps.
6. You want to work on practice instead of theory. Because sometimes you don’t why it works, but what is important is that it is working, not that you have some theory around it.
7. It disobedience instead of compliance. You don’t get a Nobel Prize for doing what you are told. Too much of school is about obedience, we should really be celebrating disobedience.
8. It’s the crowd instead of experts.
9. It’s a focus on learning instead of education.
We’re still working on it, but that is where our thinking is headed.
