  • Machina by Claudia Hart

    Framed digital art piece is a 3D animation of a sleeping female nude subject in the classical pose of Venus / Odalisque - a two minute example of the twenty minute work:

    “Machina” (2008) by Claudia Hart from bitforms gallery on Vimeo.

    “Machina” is a 3D animation portraying the compressed time and space of painting, shows a dreaming character whose slow, drowsy movements articulate all of the minutia of a single moment. “Machina” uses the most advanced techniques of virtual reality simulation, and a series of animations that result in a representation that is sensual and organic. Occasionally, Machina opens her eyes to gaze at the viewer, in a moment of transformation, allowing the object of our gaze to subject us to hers. Based loosely on works such as Titian′s Venus and paintings by the Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, “Machina” is meant to introduce sensuality into the virtual realm by employing an idea of beauty as defined by a woman.

  • The A-Z of Office Slanguage (via The Poke)

    There are some gems in this piece

    Adhocracy - a department with little to no process or organisational ability

    Administrivia – vitally important stuff that managers leave to everyone else

    Al desco dining – eating at your desk. See also Deskfast

    Googlenosis – looking up symptoms on the web to make your sickie more believable. 

    Google Zoo – when an entire office is pretending to work

    Incompitemp Temporary office drone. Serving only to drain budgets and wreak havoc. Possibly offset by tea making skills. 

    iTea department – a group of individuals who break up their day with excessive kitchen loitering. 

    Lynx Minx – A female who brings improvements in personal hygiene in male staff 

    Putting socks on an octopus – an impossible task
    Ricky Malaise – The discomfort felt when someone attempts a David Brent impersonation
    Teahydrated – the urge, nay the need for tea

    Much more here
