It Is What It Is: Fountain Square Cincinnati, OH

Turner prize winner Jeremy Deller, is driving this burnt out shell of a car round America. The mangled wreckage is lasting evidence of an attack in Bagdhad in 2007, where 35 people were killed and more injured. The resulting conversations of passers by being put on Youtube.

I like the way that this 'piece' evokes intrigue at first, then horror when the context is revealed, finally conversation... but what is really interesting is that Deller filmed the conversations and stuck them on Youtube thus extending and amplifying the piece to make something much bigger.

Seems like everyone's going Twitter mad at the moment... Initially set up as a means to communicate with friends and family, inevitably users have taken it on and made it their own.... here's a brief introduction by founder Evan Williams.

Quote of the day...
There's a big difference between standing out and being outstanding.

Ever since I was at college, years (and years) ago I always thought - 'wouldn't it be great to have a camera mounted inside my eyeball?'

I was always interested in the capture of fleeting moments and always felt that my photos at the time seemed a bit contrived. With my 'camera eye' I could secretly take momentary shots that would capture glanced images without the hassle of reaching inside my bag, pulling out my camera, turning it on, setting the apeture, focussing, and finally snapping the moment... which of course had long gone...

Now it seems that someone has done it!

That's Life - Stuffed Cat!

After being confronted with a load of stuffed animals at Spitalfield Market today - I remembered this classic from TV show 'That's Life'

Walking around Spitalfields Market today, I couldn't help but notice how many stuffed animals were there... both macabre and strangely compelling... I was left pondering, is this an example of man's desire to 'own' nature?

Like many, I suppose, I gave little wry smile when I saw this on TV recently - however, upon reflection, I think that what this person says is actually quite honest and illustrates the point of just how outdated the traditional boundaries of the 'British class system' have become.
