Turning New York City INSIDE OUT: Volunteering at JR’s photo truck JR, the man behind the participatory global art project INSIDE OUT, has parked a photobooth truck in Times Square, from now until May 10. Photo: Instagram/newyorkermag On an unseasonably chilly Monday evening in Manhattan, hundreds stood in line in Times Square for up to two hours. As a city-dweller for seven years, I’ve seen queues this long for big Broadway openings or on New Year’s Eve. But this line was formed for a very different purpose — for people to have their faces and stories featured in what JR describes as “the biggest art gallery in the world.” JR: My wish: Use art to turn the world inside outIt’s been three years since TED Prize winner JR made the wish to turn the world INSIDE OUT with a global collaborative art project. When I arrived in Duffy Square (the northern triangle of Times Square), stunning rows of freshly pasted black and white portraits covered the ground. Help INSIDE OUT transform the city! The artist himself examines the portraits tiled in Times Square.

Fanfare Ciocarlia / Red Baraat / DJ sets by Joro-Boro Fanfare Ciocarlia is one of the world’s greatest live bands, their energy and ingenuity having won them fans from Melbourne to Memphis, Tokyo to Toulouse. The National Geographic has said “the music of Fanfare Ciocarlia pulls not only from the band’s homeland but also rhythms from Turkey, Bulgaria and Macedonia to make a complete Balkan stew.” The Romanian group’s breakneck speed, technical chops, ripping rhythms and sweet and sour horns is quite different from any other brass band on earth. Formed in 2008, Red Baraat is a pioneering eight-piece band from Brooklyn, New York. DJ Joro-Boro is a crunk charlatan from the Balkans, who plays and promotes etnoteck, glitch-folk and post-national bass – the dirty local side of globalization force-fed back into a party without borders detonating the conglomerated mono-culture. Rules Please do not bring alcoholic beverages, glass, bottles, coolers, pets, bicycles, rollerblades, folding chairs, beach umbrellas, video cameras or tape recorders.

Technology Review: Advertisers Employ Social Media Google seems to have nailed the online search advertising market, finding the magic formula to attract both advertisers and consumers. The Web is still wide open, however, for approaches to advertising that catch users at other points in their online lives, perhaps when they’re not actively searching for something. At TechCrunch Disrupt, a Web technologies conference in New York last week, there was a crowded field of companies hoping to provide new ways for brands to advertise online or to consolidate existing efforts to communicate through social media. WeReward, for example, which made it to the second round in the startup battlefield competition at the event, is an Orlando, FL-based company that attempts to convert social activities that consumers are already enjoying into ways for advertisers to get attention. The company noted that users are already using services such as Foursquare to share their locations, and sharing photos through sites such as Flickr.

Technology - Google ditches Windows on security concerns Google is phasing out the internal use of Microsoft’s ubiquitous Windows operating system because of security concerns, according to several Google employees. The directive to move to other operating systems began in earnest in January, after Google’s Chinese operations were hacked, and could effectively end the use of Windows at Google, which employs more than 10,000 workers internationally. “We’re not doing any more Windows. It is a security effort,” said one Google employee. “Many people have been moved away from [Windows] PCs, mostly towards Mac OS, following the China hacking attacks,” said another. New hires are now given the option of using Apple’s Mac computers or PCs running the Linux operating system. In early January, some new hires were still being allowed to install Windows on their laptops, but it was not an option for their desktop computers. Employees wanting to stay on Windows required clearance from “quite senior levels”, one employee said.

RT @BBHLabs: Just awesome talent - Pogo's 'Gardyn', a tribute to his mother & her garden (via @malbonnington) Err, this is just brilliant. Easily the best thing I’ve seen for ages. Thanks to @LenKendall for the heads up here. Pogo (creator of the quite extraordinary remixes of Alice in Wonderland, Up, Harry Potter and so on) has created a film created from sounds recorded in his mother’s garden, as a tribute to his mother (I think originally for Mother’s Day). The visuals and sounds works brilliantly well together. In fact this is the first time I’ve seen him use film he’s created himself rather than existing footage. Here’s Pogo talking about how he did it, from his blog: Gardyn is a gift to my mother, a track made of sounds that I recorded around her garden. The word ‘Gardyn’ is middle English. I pulled my mother outside one afternoon to interview her. With the vocal samples I needed, I ran around her property filming sights and sounds that I would later splice together with her voice to make music. Here’s Alice And Up Like this: Like Loading...
