Scanner - From land, at sea and in the air
This sonic journey will take you from human powered transportation – walking, running, swimming, through the advent of technology with bicycles, boats and aircraft.
Often traversing the experimental terrain between sound, space, image and form, Scanner is renowned for creating absorbing, multi-layered sound pieces that twist technology in unconventional ways. His work has won him international admiration from amongst others, Bjork, Aphex Twin and Stockhausen.

Heterosis – A Kinetic Typeface
The typeface featured in this video was
constructed from transparent acrylic and transparent elastic. All the
characters were photographed 60 times at intervals of 6 degrees of
rotation in order to produce the motion loop.
Each character in this kinetic typeface was designed by 'blending'
two (essentially 1 dimensional) vector lines across a spatial plane in
order to produce a 3 dimensional letter. The result is a set of
characters that holds more possibilities than the standard 2 dimensional
alphabets to which we are accustomed.Via
I will remind everyone talking about Condi: Drudge regularly links to Alex Jones stories. That is all.
Hassan-i Sabbah and the Secret Order of Hashishins
One thing I have never really understood is the supposed use of hashish as a primer for battle etc. Wouldn't it more likely to have been khat they used?
