////Maybe you would like to look at some flash fun by video artist PIPILOTTI RIST? I hope so. Maybe there is a clip of her video walking down the street, smashing car windows with a red poker and singing the song Wicked Game. There are not many artists that can be simultaneously cute and brilliant, but here’s one. I suspect that is a calculated effect though.

Luxury hobby of the week, the America’s Cup./////

“The Coast Guard is very nice,” Watson said. “I just need some food. I’ll be all right. I wouldn’t mind having some chocolate pudding.”
Have you heard the one about….
TOP JOKE IN BELGIUM. Why do ducks have webbed feet? To stamp out fires. Why do elephants have flat feet? To stamp out burning ducks.
TOP JOKE IN SCOTLAND. I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather. Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
This is part of a scientific study. Really.

To celebrate the opening of New York’s Museum of Sex go hunt around here. Check out the feature 1001 Nights in Manhattan… a sexspot/experience map of NYC. I only wish they would realize that setting pages to maximize to full screen is annoying as hell.
Check out Karin Sander’s project Word Search, a catalog of words in 249 languages, written by residents of NYC, to be published in the NY Times on Oct. 4th. It is facinating to see so many languages that most people have probably never heard of, and to read the stories about the individuals who speak them.

Sam Jacobs from the London Architecture/Art/etc firm F.A.T. (Fashion, Architecture, Taste) came to SCI-Arc to give a chat last night. He had a slide of Corbu crying and they built a house that is sheer genius. You should go to their website RIGHT NOW and look around in it for no less than 15 minutes. Seriously, they rock, and are not afraid to point out that Complexity and Contradiction (uh, Venturi Scott Brown) is still one of the most important architectural texts out there. I tend to agree.
