"We are all citizen-journalists by blogging", Stephen Fry

STEPHEN FRY: WHAT I WISH I'D KNOWN WHEN I WAS 18 from Peter Samuelson on Vimeo.

I know, I know. Half an hour watching a video?

Yes. I can assure you that you are going to have an echo for some of your thoughts or you will listen to something interesting you never thought before.

Stephen Fry talks about many issues so I did transcript some phrases so that you can have an idea of what is being said and also to make you curious because they are out of context and can be understood in many ways.

You have to check to see what he is really saying. Or you can go from one page to another for and end up with sixteen windows open without anything good. :)

"...chasing technique, chasing an answer is fatal..."

"...the worse thing you can ever do in life is set yourself goals..."

"...work is more fun than fun..."

"...what uncusseful people have in common is that they talk about themselves all the time"

"...American television is fillled of people sitting in talkshows "I need... I need.. " whining. ..."

"... travelling and reading to me is such a pleasure, I don't concieve life without them. ..."

"...to admire is enourmesly helpful..."

"... if you wish to learn the guitar... you are learning with friend, together..."

"... learning is all about other people.."

"....I would say that probably one of the most wonderful things you can be given in life is the ability to give..."

"... is knowledge the same thing as truth?..."

"...authority comes from the validity of information, being repeatable, being open, being free, and not coming with a threat... 'this is the case you must believe it or you die'..."

"...we know that order is a dangerous word..."

"... we are all citizen-journalists by blogging..."

"...that is the beauty of internet, there are lots of guardians for us out there. We do make a fuss when liberty is threaten. ..."

".. the world, and the history of the world, is full of people who feel out of place either from their family or from the community..."

" ...you want to be a part of the tribe and you want to be apart from the tribe..."

This is the last topic and I hope you liked it as I did.

Rudy Burckhardt and his use of photographies

Right: Eagle Barbershop, 1938.

Left: Coca-Cola Goddess, 1947.

Rudolph Burckhardt was not only a photographer and he mixed all kind of disciplines. These photos are not to document what they are portraying. Take a look at the titles and you will have a glimpse of Rudy's intention.

Deborah Garwood wrote a good introductory text about his work, a pop artist avant la lettre, at Artcritical and this are some excerpts:

"Rudy Burckhardt’s career dates from 1935 to 1999. Working in the mediums of photography, art films, and collaborative dance and theatre experiments while continuing his own, less well known realist painting, his work has found an important if underground niche in American 20th century modernism. The mix of disciplines was not a good gestalt in this era; by temperament he eluded definition; yet he became something of a cult figure during the heyday of the New York School. The value of his versatility and its relationship to cross-disciplinary practices by later artists remains to be measured more fully.

"Burckhardt reputedly got more out of the live moments of shooting than darkroom work. Titles like Haircut 20 cents, Waffles, and Sidewalk IV convey a burlesque routine of eating, reading, walking, and riding not unlike life today except for the props."

Jukka Veistola posters about Toulouse-Lautrec and UNICEF's hunger campaign

The Finish graphic designer Jukka Veistola is considered one of the best of our times and has received many awards. The right work was awarded the First Prize in International Competition for Design of a poster for Unicef Childrens' Aid, Paris, in 1969.

It is really a very appealing work but unfortunately 41 years after there are more children in hunger and starvation. It must make the work of graphic designers very hard because I believe that while creating the posters all participants wanted to make a difference.

In 2001 Jukka Veistola did the left poster for the Nouveau Salon des Cent for the centenary of Toulouse-Lautrec's death. A portfolio of one hundred posters created by graphic designers of twenty-four countries has been exhibited all over the world. You can watch the posters of the others participants here.
