The Cube

2007-04-22

“I saw The Cube a couple of times as a kid. But I really don’t remember when. For my entire life it seemed like a dream.

The Cube is about the existential dilemma faced by a man who suddenly finds himself trapped inside an 8 foot by 8 foot cube.

…On another layer, TV itself is The Cube.
It presents us with attention deficit clich`s which offer no insights or answers – just entertainment.
It teases us with familiarity and humor, but ultimately leaves us feeling empty and trapped.”.

(Patrick Flanigan about The Cube by Jim Henson, 1968)

Snapcity

“My name is Emilie. I am a photographer.
Every week I shot somewhere in San Francisco. I focused on places that I love.”.

“San Francisco is changing pretty fast.
Everyone’s heard about the dotcom invasion, sky-high rents, loss of artists space, etc. but it’s also changed in ways that are harder to describe.
It’s probably a direct result of these other changes, but good things are disappearing.
For me, some of those good things are people.”.
