A truly stunning interactive video from the Arcade Fire and Chris Milk. Using all the jiggery-pokery involved in HTML 5, and, in particular, its video embedding capability. Enter a postcode, or area, and the video becomes tailored around a distinct place, with video segments popping up all over your screen. Ground-breaking stuff. [Best viewed in a Chrome browser]
Choreographed windows, interactive flocking, custom rendered maps, real-time compositing, procedural drawing, 3D canvas rendering… this Chrome Experiment has them all. “The Wilderness Downtown” is an interactive interpretation of Arcade Fire’s song “We Used To Wait” and was built entirely with the latest open web technologies, including HTML5 video, audio, and canvas.

Some images from my recent trip to Morocco, taken on my phone. Yup, that phone. Increasingly I’m finding that when I go away, a phone is all I need for writing, researching, taking photographs, recording audio, and even rough video.

There’s a stall on Broadway Market that sells hardbound photography books, somewhere around the middle of the market. It also sells the original prints of 60-something London photographer David Hoffman, who lives around the corner. Alas, many of his older photos accrued over 30 years – of the poll tax riots, the Wapping protests – are only available at the stall, but his website has a good archive of recent shots. Hoffman drops by the stall every Saturday to see if the owner has any money for him. And when asked why he’s dedicated his life to capturing these fractious moments of British social history, he simply says “to be there” according to the stall owner. Nice.
**UPDATE*** Funnily enough, on the same day we wrote this post, a story broke in the national about David Hoffman having his house raided for displaying a poster calling David Cameron a wanker.
