Life in a Day Trailer
| July 30th, 2011What happens when you send a request out to the world to chronicle, via video, a single day on Earth? You get 80,000 submissions and 4,500 hours of footage from 192 countries. Producer Ridley Scott and Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald took this raw material — all shot on July 24, 2010 — and created Life in a Day, a groundbreaking, feature-length documentary that portrays this kaleidoscope of images we call life. National Geographic is bringing it to theaters starting July 24, 2011. Prepare to be amazed.

| August 16th, 2010sadly, i see myself and many of you in these various artworks. always on the run, not easily contented with what is, always seeking for more, so very often make attempts to run away from reality, knowing that it is faster than our furry feets but choosing to pretend that it isn’t. when the time comes and our sore legs are unable to bring us any further, reality is right there, in full view again.
update: just read up a little on the artist’s bio, “Tetsuya Ishida (born in June 1973, Shizuoka) was a Japanese painter who died in 2005 after being hit by a train. (Possibly Suicide)” What a waste and loss to the world of art. imagine what other works he could have come up with, perhaps artworks with more technology-related elements implemented. that would’ve have been really interesting, don’t you think?

I am reminded of the city’s bright flickering lights, the noises from the crowded roads, the commotion all around, the dodgy karaoke joints, the dirty cigg butts that litter the floor, the loneliness she felt at the Hyatt.
Isn’t it funny, that even with so much noise, it is still possible to sound (and feel) so quiet?
