Exploring the ways in which artists, artisans and technicians are intelligently expressing their creativity with a passion for culture, technology, marketing and advertising.
You could think of Jonathan Harris as a technical artists or an artistic technician but more than that he is the very embodiment of the tension humanity feels at the threshold between art and technology.

Digital documents (made out of ones and zeroes) are a lot less wasteful than paper (made out of carbon-eating trees). To minimize unnecessary printing, some people add a reminder at the bottom of emails that says something like "Please consider the environment before printing this."But the folks at the World Wildlife Fund have another solution. This week, they released a new file format—WWF, of course—which is, essentially, "a PDF that cannot be printed out." Drop by Save as WWF, Save a Tree to download software that will add a "Save as WWF" option to your print menu. Any WWFs you create can be opened by programs that open PDFs—but can't be printed.
This is the first of two video sketches illustrating some of the ideas and principles behind Dentsu London's communications strategy Making Future Magic http://bit.ly/makingfuturemagic_phil Here, media includes messages from friends and social services, like Foursquare or Twitter, and also more functional messages from companies or services like banks or airlines alongside large traditional big 'M' Media (like broadcast or news publishing). The second sketch "The Journey", looks at train travel. You can see it here http://vimeo.com/16423237 This is part of a collaboration between Dentsu London and BERG.

We've already seen Steven Johnson and Kevin Kelly share a conversation via Wired.com. In this hour and a half dialogue, moderated by the superb Robert Krulwick of Radiolab fame, both authors continue the conversation and discuss their recent books, Where Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation and What Technology Wants, and the future. It really is worth taking the time to watch it.
Love seeing creative individuals embrace technology as a way of listening and learning.
