I am sorry, but this viral video is a must . If: you wanna date a nerd; you wanna become one yourself; you like watching hot hipster guys. The New Dork is a viral project by the guys behind the Grashopper virtual phone system for enterpreneurs – respectively the track is called Enterpreneur State Of Mind. Oh, and the “lead singer” is hot (and he knows it!)

This is a Pantless Knights tribute to our favorite entrepreneurs (who are all “new dorks”). It’s a spoof of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ “Empire State of Mind,” from the guys behind Grasshopper.com (thank you!). We made it because there’s a new type of dork that is cooler than ever. Look at tech entrepreneurs, hipsters, Computer Science Barbie – they’re all super popular new dorks! For lyrics and credits, click the link to read the full article. (weiterlesen…)

How could I’ve missed such surreal nerd masterpiece?

The Mill working with Partizan Lab and director Chris Cairns has worked on the surreal music promo “Neurosonics Audiomedical Laboratories” by the Scratch Perverts. We follow a journey to a laboratory with equipment and screens as a technician begins to open various cases and produces live heads. The heads are placed to amp creating a drum kit. They then begin to play the decks and drums, with the heads talking, rapping, beat boxing and singing.
The ‘heads’ were shot by spinning people ‘heads’ on spinning turntables at 33.3rpm at high speed and then matching them to the turntables. The film was made in collaboration with The Scratch Perverts, Foreign Beggars, Shlomo and Will Clarke with sound design by Will Cohen.

This is just amazing:

You still wonder who those horny nerds I am writing the zine for are? Well take a look at this last VICE photo shoot by Ben Ritter. It is pretty much self explanatory. I could’ve kept it for one of the Nerds collections, but it would’ve destructed its integrity.

Above you see the making of what I’ll tell you about right now.

Each day, we are surrounded by seemingly insignificant objects, taking them from one place to the other, or leaving them on a table for weeks, without paying any attention to them. We ignore or forget them, using things only when we need to, making sure they don’t interfere or inhabit our space. The guys below imagine a place where objects could live and move, harmoniously, and of their own accord. Without interfering with each other these objects would bounce, roll, turn and cross each other’s paths.

Dans Dance – This experiment is about re-discovering our daily surroundings. Each object is assigned to a letter on the keyboard, and can be activated or deactivated at any time.

Anja Müller’s portraits not only show beautiful men but also tell stories. These are the short stories about Berlin, the people who live in it, fall in love with it, who fuck or do laundry. She comes from Berlin and, as you may notice, this city and its people have a huge importance in the way she develops her artwork. Below you can see a selection from “Erotik Manner” and “Porträt Manner”.

The spring spirit is Vanessa Bruno’s best friend! Her spring-summer collection 2010 gives you the feeling of the fresh grass frown in the park, the light cherry blossom sunny days and the melancholic spring rainy afternoons. Makes you feel cheesy romantic and do stupid things.

Good morning everyone! I hope you enjoy the spring!  In a couple of hours it is time for the weekend to begin!

This is what (mostly) happens, when you drop it.

Nerd alert! Here comes a Bachelor project I would love to embark on. Graded with “very good” this is “Experiencing Abstract Information” by Jochen Winker and Stefan Kuzaj.

“There are four essential parts in making abstract information experiencable: information itself, relevant senses, fitting emotion and a direct reference of the presentation to the information. With our method you can not only design fitting media, but also check existing media for its potential.”

The new BUTT 28 has hit shelves in the next American Apparel in your hood. Or the nearest queer bookstore around you. On the cover you will see a familiar face – singer Kele Okereke of UK indie band Bloc Party was photographed in and out of the shower by Wolfgang Tillmans. Here is what else issue 28 is going to be about:

Soundcloud evangelist David Noël blogged the most awesome piece of news (sorry, Gorillaz!) yesterday giving us heads up on the complete soundcloud-release of The Knife discography (listen to it below). About one month ago the Swedish duo added Deep Cuts and their newest masterpiece Tomorrow, In A Year to their Soundcloud and since yesterday you can listen to the classics from Silent Shout too. I can’t wait for the show in Germany – till now the only confirmed venue is Münster, but serious rumors are telling me Berlin might attract Karin and Olof for an extra show here. I would go to church and pray if I have to so that could happen.
