Unwittingly Participating in the Panopticon
by Jamais Cascio
This does not seem like a good combination:
- The FBI wants (has?) backdoors to monitor Skype (along with other Internet telephony apps); tellingly, there's already concern that such backdoors are open to non-FBI intruders.
- The soon-to-arrive XBox One has Skype built-in, making use of the video camera on the Kinect.
- Said Kinect is required, and cannot be disconnected.
- And the XBox One will need to have regular (daily) Internet access, meaning that most people will just leave it connected to their home broadband.
Anyone want to place a wager on how many months it will be after the XBox One is released before there's a "XBox Spying" scandal?

AMMAR: Corner, 2
by ivan
86% of sex workers are mothers. We need a law to regulate our work.
AMMAR. Argentina’s Sex Workers’ Association. www.ammar.org.ar
AMMAR is a non-profit organization, fighting for human rights and labor laws for sex workers in Argentina. More than 85% of these women are mothers seeking for a law to protect them from exploitation and police violence in order to support their families and work freely. But society and justice are still unnoticed to this controversial subject, that is why they needed to call for attention.

by Justin Page
The team of creatives at 1A4 Studio condensed the entire 1986 James Cameron directed sci-fi film Aliens into a 60 second animated speedrun. Previously we wrote about 1A4 Studio’s 60-second versions of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, The Matrix and Back to the Future.

Hyperrealist sculptor Ron Mueck works in the realm of the ultra-real where he spends hundreds of hours perfecting the shape of the human form, the appropriate color of skin, and the most realistic hair texture. All of his efforts culminate in incredibly lifelike figurative sculptures with one small (or large) exception: the artworks are often gigantic or miniaturized, resulting in an uncomfortable “does not compute” moment when trying to comprehend exactly what you’re looking at. Each sculpted person is as bizarre as it is amazing, in part because of the raw intimacy portrayed in their faces, as if we are somehow witnessing the documentation of a private moment.

Like several other hyperrealist sculptors Mueck began his sculpting career in entertainment where he started work as a puppeteer, creating models and puppets for children’s movies and TV shows. Most notably he worked on Jim Henson’s film Labyrinth and even provided the voice for the character Ludo. In 1996 he made the switch to fine art and quickly rose to prominence with exhibitions at the Royal Academy and the National Gallery in London.
Last month Mueck unveiled three new works at the Fondation Cartier in Paris as part of an exhibition that runs through September 29th, including the extraordinary Couple Under an Umbrella shown above. You can watch the video to get a little more perspective on just how large this artwork really is. All images above courtesy Fondation Cartier. (via my amp goes to 11)
