Abstract Christmas tree sparks protests in Brussels
An updated version of a post made earlier today, now with a video from BBC News
A minimal voxelesque Christmas tree with projection mapping and a staircase to view from it’s top hasn’t gone down well with some …
Thousands of people have signed a petition against an abstract light installation replacing the traditional Christmas tree in Brussels city centre.
More than 11,000 signatures have been gathered in the online petition and a Facebook page attacking the new feature has been launched.
Critics accuse officials of opting for the installation for fear of offending non-Christians, especially Muslims.

Abstract Christmas tree sparks protests in Brussels
A minimal voxelesque Christmas tree hasn’t gone down well with some … via BBC News:
Thousands of people have signed a petition against an abstract light installation replacing the traditional Christmas tree in Brussels city centre.
More than 11,000 signatures have been gathered in the online petition and a Facebook page attacking the new feature has been launched.
Critics accuse officials of opting for the installation for fear of offending non-Christians, especially Muslims.
But the mayor’s office said it was part of a theme this year of “light”.
Traditionally, a 20m (65ft) pine tree taken from the forests of the Ardennes has adorned the city’s central square, the Grand Place.
This year, it has been replaced with a 25m (82ft) construction, though smaller real Christmas trees still decorate the square, a spokesman at the mayor’s office said.
The city’s website said the new “tree” was one of five “light” installations around the Grand Place this year, offering visitors the chance to climb to the top and enjoy “beautiful views” of the city.
Tourism councillor Philippe Close at the mayor’s office said the aim was to show off the “avant-garde character” of Brussels by blending the modern and the traditional, to produce something new and different.

Commercial Breaks - A documentary about Imagine and Ocean Software
For anyone interested in retro computer games, this BBC documentary is fascinating, found via the great video curation channel Network Awesome.
The documentary takes a look at two of the biggest computer game companies of 1984 in the UK - Ocean Software (the UK Electronic Arts of it’s time) and Imagine Software. In the film, both companies are preparing for a big Christmas release. During the course of the filming of this, Imagine was experiencing financial woes and disbanded:
In early 1984 the Imagine team were working on a spectacular project known as Bandersnatch. The game was to come in an A4 sized box containing around 30 ‘goodies’ including a required additional piece of hardware for your Spectrum computer. The retail price of Bandersnatch was expected to be around £40 and it was to be a completely new concept in computer games. Apparently 10 professional artists were working on the graphics alone. Bandersnatch was never released. On the 9th of July 1984, Imagine went bust after only 18 months of operation. Interestingly, its demise was documented by a BBC television program.

DJ Moneyshot - NinjaMix Dumplings - mixmas 2011
Fantastic Cristmas-themed mix by DJ Moneyshot brought to us via NinjaMixDump.
Turntablism, sampling, everything-including-the-kitchen-sink type of party mix:
Word, the good people at the ninjamixdump asked me to do a mashup of some of my best mixes for their mixmas special, here’s the results. Ultimate mixtape, much?
DJ Moneyshot digs into over ten years of his award-winning sets to hand-stitch a funky fresh ‘best of’. All the hits from cult classics like Mother’s Ruin, The Reach Around, Mixed Ape and Dischandler get a chance to puff their chests and show you why they’re the high points from some of the best DJ sets ever committed to tape. The New Seekers get Baptised By Dub, James Brown Turns It Out over Hall & Oates, and Adam F gets Wired For Sound. Over 70 tracks used in an hour? It’s gotta be your man Moneyshot. Tab! Tab! Tab of E! anyone?
Enjoy, and merry fucking Christmas. x
