Dear friends, I don’t think I’ve mentioned this before, but I’ve been working with an associate on retranslating and annotating Twilight for the past two years. I’ll save you the tears and give you the smiles: it’s finished. It’s online. It’s for you to read and cherish, perhaps forever. It’s fredwardbound.com, and it’s updated with [...]

Hannah Epstein wants to get sued
me too. i wanna get sued too.Hannah Epstein wants to get sued.The Toronto artist’s latest work is a choose-your-own adventure implanted in YouTube annotations called Mc Mickey and Air Jordan’s Hyperspace Safari that reimagines the internet as a wasteland, “basically empty, but full of life.” The internet being what it is, this space is inhabited by memes, conspiracies and copyrighted material sneaking around e-cops, CISPAs and Bill-C11s. You can check your emails from undercover authorities, gamble on Google, sell your panties or i-dose binaural beats with a net wizard. You can also do these things in Hannah’s game.
Earth from space: Dune 45
The Namib is the oldest desert in the world, stretching over 2000 km along Africa’s southwestern coast from Angola, through Namibia to South Africa. Sand dunes dominate the desert – some reaching over 300 m in height.
The blue and white area is the dry river bed of the Tsauchab – which only sees water following rare rainfall in the Naukluft Mountains to the east. Black dots of vegetation are concentrated close to the river’s main route, while salt deposits appear bright white.
Running through the river valley, a road connects Sossusvlei to the Sesriem settlement. At the road’s 45th kilometre, seen at the lower-central part of the image, a white path shoots off and ends at a circular parking area at the base of a dune. This is Dune 45, a popular tourist stop on the way to and from Sossusvlei.
