Global Lives Project

Today as the world comes together for Obama’s Inauguration, a team of innovators are working to bring us closer through the power of video.

The Global Lives Project is a collective effort of more than 250 volunteer filmmakers, artists, architects, programmers and everyday people from around the world to build and display a video library of human life experience. Their goal is to record 24 hours in the lives of ten people that roughly represent the diversity of our planet’s population.

These ten lives will come together in an innovative video installation and form the basis of a collaborative online video encyclopedia of human life. Sound cool? If you’re in Asia, Eastern Europe or Africa, the project is looking for additional teams. Visit GlobalLives.org for more info!

This Is Berlin Not New York

Ten artists going to Berlin to make street art? You had me at hello. The Antagonist Art Movement, an artist collective that was started in New York City in 1988, has recently released a DIY adventure film about their raucous trip to Berlin.

As Flavorpill notes,

Berlin looks like a creative paradise. Whether turning abandoned apartment blocks into installation pieces or kicking it with likeminded hosts over dinner, the group uses the city as a perfect backdrop to break out of comfort zones and reflect.

That’s it - we’re all moving to Berlin!

You can buy the DVD here.
