Extremely interesting documentary, (thanks Andrea for dropping the note).
Very interestingly the part about physical engineering for the brain, with the example of the woman who had a brain surgery to implement with her pacemaker to make her feel happier (part six). We really are reaching a point in history where we have to start to find ways to provide equal possibilities for everyone on this planet, or we will really have physical divisions between people and not just wealth gap in social classes. Imagine a race of people who were actually physically and psychologically stronger in every way because of robotic improvements.
Susan Greenfield puts it best in this film, discussing what kind of world will be living in when we have people worrying heart stability while there are people in the world who do not have access to clean water. The world divided to the techno-haves and the techno-have-nots. 21st century, a century of speciation of people, the difference between species, seems like a rather soon to be realistic world rather than science fiction.

Michael Moore’s latest film, Capitalism: A Love Story, comes out this week in cinema in the States, and officially on the 2nd of October, seems like something that we’ve been waiting from him this whole year. I haven’t had the chance to view it yet, however the trailer seems promising as usual. How much of a solution to all this insanity we live in these days, I’m not sure if there will be much offered, however it’s definitely a start. This could be times of change, since the industrial revolution!

Look who happened to be in London as well ? Sometimes paths cross, no matter where you go in the world. More to come soon!
Shelley’s returning on the next issue of Elle China. Made an ultra fast shoot on my way through Stockholm before Beijing two weeks ago. There will be more soon, I promise.
Wish I could be there. If you happen to be in Vancouver, go check this out at the Emily Carr University .
It’s been a hectic few weeks, lots of things to update. Just finished a shoot with RedHero in Beijing, will be heading home to Australia shortly via Taiwan this week. I’ll have lots of new goodies to share with y’all in the next days. Thanks for coming.

Naturally this book caught my attention last week. Was over at the Papercut Store in Stockholm, (nice people by the way), picked up some magazines and had to get this one too. A project by Eric Ericson (ee-projects), very fascinating. I remember seeing something few years ago, about how you can basically send anything as long as you slab enough stamps on the item.
Check out the interview over at Wired . A snippet:
Eric Ericson’ s Panorama. Be great on the wall…speaking of which, there’s the wallpapers here.
