Ante Bellum

poster design by Absent

A lot of people don't believe the official story behind September 11th. In fact, it's become somewhat of an obscure movement of speculation among the left. Nonetheless, it's all healthy and much needed debate. Ante Bellum, which means before the war, is a good resource for videos, articles, images and all other speculation into the discrepancies of the official story behind 9-11.

Noam Chomsky was recently asked about the situation, and here is what he said:

i've went to the future
and I have evidence

this is a personal project of mine, that i've been obsessing over for the past year or so, it's my baby. i hope to someday have a few real babies, and a honey.

the human interface is about transforming a very rigid unorganic computer, into a very organic fluid interface. it's a very personal thing for me. i live inside my computer, and it's time to rebel against the desktop monarchy

the restrictions are starting to drive me crazy
"must put everything in folders"
"must give everything a unique name"
"must paste everytime i cut"

sometimes when i drop something it goes down, and sometimes it goes up
sometimes when i hit a key it does one thing, and another time it does another
i'm sick of looking at my desktop, there is much more to the world then a desktop

Iranian Rebel Alliance Network

'I.R.A.N. has been created in response to the lack of interest among the Iranian diaspora, specifically the youth concerning the support and solidarity of the internal struggle for Democracy inside Iran.

In hopes to create dialogue resulting in action, we welcome all people who have a desire for Iran to flourish as a Democracy to defend the rights of all Iran's religious and ethnic groups, the youth, academicians, women, and political opposition groups.' - I.R.A.N.

UP OUR SLEEVE

What is 'UP OUR SLEEVE?'

Music memories, paper, paint, ink, ribbons, paste, plastic, photos, metal, vinyl, trains, tape, mannequin heads, and magic. Out of wartime and low cash woes came inspiration for united creativity. We distributed hundreds of blank 12" record sleeves to our artistic friends who passed them onto their pals and on and on. UP OUR SLEEVE reflects the dublab community. We are rooted in Los Angeles while branching worldwide.

dublab dj's are in love with vinyl and the deep culture that surrounds it. Sadly, album art has been shrinking: 12" > 5" > invisible MP3's. UP OUR SLEEVE is an opportunity to expand again. Our sleeves are big. A square foot of fun with a hole tossed in the middle. A blank 12" cover is an exciting medium. It's instantly recognizable and infinitely adjustable.

Most often album covers are made to match existing music. UP OUR SLEEVE flips this paradigm. The pieces are influenced by music genres and albums while existing free of specific attachment. This is open artistic expression. Who knows, someday songs might be sung for these covers.

UP OUR SLEEVE: the dublab covers project is a fundraiser. Each artist donated their one of a kind creation. The sleeves will be auctioned off online to support dublab's positive music transmissions. Keep your eyes on upoursleeve.org for auction dates.

UP OUR SLEEVE is an exploration of deep music imagery.
We hope you dig it.

Amnesty International in Switzerland broke a new outdoor campaign May 29th that was created by Walker Werbeagentur Zuerich. The campaign uses the tagline "It's not happening here but it's happening now", in various languages, from French to German. Using the transparent billboards, the campaign aims to show people what is going on in the world, even if it's not happening in front of them at the bus stop. The ads portray issues in countries like Iraq, China, and Sudan.
