A Mind-Bending Whale Quest from Director Jonathan Turner

After creating a shapeshifting digital vortex for Glasser’s Interiors album, New York artist Jonathan Turner conjures a wave of metallic orcas in his video for “Beluga” by the young Norwegian producer Pandreas. “Before I had heard the track I was thinking about Norway; ice-carved landscapes, mysterious island chains and Ingmar Bergman,” says Turner of the serendipitous inspiration. “I wondered about how that relates to electronic music and I thought about the electrically charged fractal landscapes of Hiroshi Sugimoto.” Fate or coincidence, the elegiac cut from the Bergen-based Pandreas was further brought to CGI life when Turner, a member of multimedia art collective Yemenwed and a professor at Parsons School of Design, stumbled across the Invanpah Solar Electric Generating Station in the Mojave desert. “It seemed this really alien juxtaposition,” says the director, who has previously collaborated on art and fashion films with the likes of Tauba Auerbach and Hood By Air. “It was entrancing and beautiful, but also a very radical transformation of the environment.”

Beluga EP by Pandreas is out now via Sellout! Music

Sexy video of the day. Les Fleurs by Saam Farahmand

Les Fleurs on Nowness.com

Director Saam Farahmand Heats Up the Body Hair Debate in the First of Our Weekly #DefineBeauty Series

“One of the things I appreciate most about female beauty is what’s commonly appreciated the least,” says Saam Farahmand of his ode to body hair that launches NOWNESS’ new five-part series #DefineBeauty. “I wanted to find something about women that was almost unanimously disliked.” The transformation of the female form from hairless ideal to glorious natural state is set to the rousing score of Minnie Riperton’s “Les Fleurs.” “There was something so affecting about Minnie Riperton’s ability to breathe her gender—she speaks to female sexuality in a way that seems to exclude male consideration,” says the London-based filmmaker, known for his collaborations with The xx, Soulwax and Alexander McQueen. “It was important to immerse the viewer in the female form, an overwhelming landscape where the smallest shifts are amplified,” he adds, inspired by iconic nudes of Madonna by American photographer Lee Friedlander taken in 1979, the year he was born. The topic coincidentally reverberated across social media throughout the duration of the film’s development, from Madonna’s untamed underarms to Canadian artist Petra Collins’ bikini-line censorship by Instagram. “I need to be clear that this film is in no way reactionary,” says Farahmand. “It’s possible the subject resonates as people are always looking for a way to distinguish themselves from commonalities. If there is a genuine renaissance of female body hair in London, New York or Berlin, then like the modern man’s neo-beard, it will be abandoned when the first tufts start creeping out of glamour models’ armpits on reality TV shows.”

The next #DefineBeauty film premieres Tuesday May 13.

Smart idea of the day. Words can be Weapons

Shockingly tragic acts of youth violence are on the rise in China. An even lesser known finding is that in China, childhood verbal abuse has a strong link to adolescent delinquency. 

The Center for Psychological Research, Shenyang and Ogilvy & Mather, Beijing have joined hands to launch a creative campaign that raises Chinese public awareness of the serious and detrimental effects of verbal abuse.

Social ad of the day. The Drinkable Book - Water is Life

The Drinkable Book is a life saving tool that filters water and teaches proper sanitation & hygiene to those in the developing world. 

Each book is printed on technologically advanced filter paper, capable of killing deadly waterborne diseases. Each page is coated with silver nanoparticles, whose ions actively kill diseases like cholera, typhoid and E. coli. 

Once water is passed through the filter, bacteria count is reduced by over 99.99%, making the filtered water comparable to tap water in the United States of America.

This filter paper will revolutionize water purification. It costs only pennies to produce, making it by far the cheapest option on the market. Each filter is capable of giving someone up to 30 days worth of clean water, and each book is capable of providing someone with clean water for up to 4 years.

NewBees -- The future is already here
www.robobees.info

If we carry on with chemically intensive agriculture model, it is quite possible that we may affect our pollinating insects to such a degree that we reach a global "pollination crisis".
This is the imaginary future we do not want. This future where bees and the biodiversity they help maintain, have finally fallen victim to chemically intensive industrial agriculture.

So, here is the question: should we create a new world or save our own?

Take action to save the bees and agriculture as part of Greenpeace's international "Save The Bees" campaign.
