Yōkai Daizukai, an illustrated guide to yōkai authored by manga artist Shigeru Mizuki, features a collection of cutaway diagrams showing the anatomy of 85 traditional monsters from Japanese folklore (which also appear in Mizuki’s GeGeGe no Kitarō anime/manga). Here are a few illustrations from the book.
Of course I'm flipping out in our Editor's chat about the fact that Alejandro "The Holy Mountain" Jodorowsky collaborated with Jean "Mœbius" Giraud, H.R. Giger, and Pink Floyd to adapt Frank Herbert's Dune into a film in 1975 — a project that never took off due to funding issues — when Rob, cultured beyond American measure, casually coughs that me not knowing about it is impossible, simply because it is too awesome not to be known.
Yet, I did not know!

One of the 8 works I created for the Data Art Show at the Pink Hobo Gallery in Minneapolis.
All these pieces are a pun on the new craze for data visualization. The goals of data visualization as I understand them are to make complicated issues more understandable, to make obscured connections visible and to reveal hidden patterns in the data. After all these tasks have been solved ideally the result should be aesthetically pleasing as well.
But when I look around what is being done in data visualization today I have the suspicion that in many cases the design is more important than the actual information and that the use of data is more an excuse to justify the use of aesthetics.
Since I do not have a problem with aesthetics for their own sake in these pieces I deliberately took the opposite direction. Since I wanted to create something visually interesting I made up my own data which would give me the desired results. All these works are the result of generative algorithms, so all the elements and their connections are actually data and not something I assembled manually in Illustrator.

]]>De passage à Paris pour présenter son dernier film "United Red Army", Koji Wakamatsu, réalisateur culte du cinéma indépendant japonais (Quand l'embryon part braconner, Les anges violés, Go Go Second Time Virgin, films subversifs des années 60-70 issues de la mouvance pink), revient sur les raisons qui l'ont poussé à réaliser ce film, sa préparation, et son rapport difficile avec l'autorité. "United Red Army" relate les événements tragiques entourant l'"affaire du chalet Asama" -prise d'otage par une poignée d'étudiants d'une aubergiste dans les montagnes japonaises qui sonna le glas des mouvements contestataires des années 70 dans l'Archipel- et brosse le portrait d'une generation revoltée dont la radicalité et l'isolement précipiteront la chute.

Remember when your heart sank just a little when you realized the Pink Panther movie wasn’t a cartoon? Then, only a few years later, seeing Edward Gorey’s eerily fantastic opening to “Mystery!” capped with Vincent Price’s name on a headstone had your head spinning at the thought of the kind of stories those etchings could tell…if only the show was based on those illustrations. Well, we want to see more of that. So watch and remember and create. And if you’ve got something to contribute, send it along.
Pink Paper is Britain’s only national lesbian, gay and bisexual newspaper and the biggest circulating gay publication of any kind in the country. But it’s unique in many more ways than that. While it’s one of the oldest queer titles, founded in 1987, it now has one of the country’s most modern gay websites and we were the first title in the market to put citizen journalists at the forefront of what we do, through our innovative Your.PinkPaper.com site.

Researchers from Japan’s ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories have developed new brain analysis technology that can reconstruct the images inside a person’s mind and display them on a computer monitor, it was announced on December 11. According to the researchers, further development of the technology may soon make it possible to view other people’s dreams while they sleep.
it's kind of funny to see all these old trends which were considered as very bad at a time coming back through the intellectuals channels as a genre worth exploring I guess time and a bit of fetichismDuring the 1960s and 1970s Japanese film-makers produced a series of films of unprecedented sexual candour. Returning to this legendary period of 'pink films', Matt Palmer and Jasper Sharp celebrate the aesthetic achievements of these erotic masterpieces.
Pour poursuivre sur la comparaison de prix, je ne peux pas m’empêcher de vous inviter à découvrir http://pricemini.mobi. C’est la première approche du mobile pour PriceMinister : la possibilité de découvrir en temps réel et sur son mobile les meilleurs prix des vendeurs de PriceMinister pour les CD, DVD, livres et jeux vidéos, en entrant le code barre (13 chiffres sur un clavier de portable, ça se fait) ou un mot clé (titre, artiste, etc.). Nous n’allons pas encore jusqu’à l’achat, mais c’est clairement l’étape suivante. Au-delà de cette première approche, bien d’autres choses peuvent être vendues via un portable. En fait, tout ce qui ne nécessite pas d’être essayé, mais qui est clairement défini et identifié par son nom (par exemple “Dark Side of the Moon” du Pink Floyd, “Medal of Honor” sur PS2, 4 places pour voir “Ratatouille” mais aussi un “iphone 8GB”, voire une “Ferrari 430 Scuderia” -mais ça, ça prendra un peu plus de temps). Lors d’un achat, quel qu’il soit, 3 paramètres entrent en compte : le produit, le prix et la disponibilité. A partir du moment où le produit est sorti de l’équation (je suis certain de vouloir acheter MoH sur PS2), les 2 autres paramètres deviennent totalement compatibles avec l’achat sur mobile. Mieux, dans le cas par exemple des ventes privées, le mobile devient l’outil idéal : on peut participer quel que soient l’heure et l’endroit où l’on se trouve… Reste encore quelques points à résoudre comme l’ergonomie limitée des portables, qui rend difficile la saisie de coordonnées postales pour la livraison, mais rien qu’un peu de bon sens et de technologie ne puisse résoudre…
