This site draws together a number of the recent expansions of ‘the book’ into online content, mobile interfaces, added extras and others. An interesting collection, though some of the examples are definitely in the novelty camp, not that there’s anything inherently wrong with novelty. End of.

Apparently this ad has been fly posted around London. It’s a witty take on the YouTube viral and possibly a few more votes for Nick Clegg. If you click on the link you can even make your own.

Streetland is a weekend of art events situated in Govanhill, happening 30th April through to Sun 2nd May, alongside many other ‘closing’ events for Glasgow International Art Festival. This set of events is entirely community organised and operating on a shoe-string, and organisers are looking for anyone interested in photographically documenting the events to get in touch. You can do that by emailing email.tomwarren[at]googlemail.com
If you’re interested in Networked/Digital design, art or architecture, sign up to this group for no apparent reason. Something interesting may come of it in the future.

My architect mates have always banged on about Archigram, a 60′s / 70′s experimental architecture group… the original blue-sky-think-out-the-box-think-tank-agent-provocateur-enfant-terrible-it’ll-never-float bunch of tomorrow’s-world-on-acid mentalists. With ties on. Anyway, a lot of the work has often been difficult to access, so now they’ve put together a comprehensive archive online, for free. Still inspiring, interesting and beautiful visually. http://archigram.westminster.ac.uk/ 
From a Bicycle as Outdoor Printing Press to tweeted and texted chalk road writing (and cringy promo video).

Kieran McCann kindly sent a copy of this transcript of a discussion on the subject of Visual Journalism. Its part of a series of discussions which took place at the RCA as part of their Woodhill Park Critical Forum. He also left a few extra copies of the newspaper he produced on the ‘disappeared’ of argentina – a great project, and if you’d like a copy, just email me.
