Short Film about Vice Magazine’s move to NYC in 1999

"Back in 1999, I directed a short doc of Shane Smith, Gavin McInnes and Suroosh Alvi moving their growing little magazine 'Vice' to New York from Old Montreal. They were fresh off a big "million dollar deal", and they were still best friends. It was for a show I made called Moving Stories', one of the first "reality shows" in Canada. It now feels like a sleepy NFB doc, which makes it all the more beautiful."

Sixteen Colors: Archiving the Evolution of ANSI and ASCII Art

ANSI (and ASCII) art dominated online communication for a short time. However, in that small window the medium evolved from a necessary function of early online systems into an art form on its own. Sixteen Colors was created to keep a history of the art form as seen from the production of the underground art scene that began in the 1990′s and continues today. Learn what it takes to compile hundreds of thousands of pieces of artwork and how that artwork has changed over two decades.

dctp.tv – Nachrichten vom Großen Krieg (1914 – 1918)

Der renommierte Historiker Prof. em. Dr. Gerd Krumeich ist einer der Herausgeber der ENZYKOPÄDIE 1. WELTKRIEG. Sein packender Bericht zeigt, wie wenig man von diesem „Unfall der Geschichte“ weiß. Auch die Menschen, die den Krieg auslösten und in ihm kämpften, hatten kein Übersicht. Alle glaubten an einen kurzen Krieg. Sie gingen davon aus, Weihnachten 1914 wieder zuhause zu sein. Dieser Krieg, mit dem die Politiker und die Generäle nicht zurechtkamen, war zugleich eine Alchimistenküche von Neuerungen. Zu Beginn gibt es auf deutscher Seite 4.000 Funker, am Ende 300.000. Der Anfang gerät in einen Stellungskrieg, am Ende werden bereits die Elemente des Bewegungskriegs und der Panzerschlachten des 2. Weltkriegs vorbereitet.

King Kool Savas & Jack Orsen Live (HipHopJam Jugendhaus Schweinfurt 11.11.2000)

"Also Security ham wer keine, brauch ma a net. Hier war no nie Stress. Außadem ham wa noch zwai Männer hia, die sin zwar grad Bier holn, aba die kommn glai wieda." Man kann sich gar nicht vorstellen, wie beruhigt wir waren. Mann waren wir beruhigt. Und als uns Mike kurz vor dem Auftritt auch noch erklärte, daß seine Kumpels angekündigt hätten, Savas zu verprügeln, falls er LMS spielen würde, da stieg der Chill-Faktor ins unermessliche. Auf der Bühne dann war hardcore. Durch das völlige Fehlen irgendeiner ordnenden Hand stand ungefähr ein Viertel des Publikums auf der Bühne. Nach 3 Tracks hatten Savas und Jack noch ungefähr einen Quadratmeter Platz, in dem sie sich bewegen konnten. Im Publikum drängten sich ebenfalls die Menschen. Die Veranstalter hatten wohl irgendwann beschlossen, die Kasse zuzumachen, dafür aber die Türen auf. Das heißt, wer später kam, war umsonst drin und da waren einige, die drin waren. Später dann mußte ich nochmal raus zum Auto. Die Stresser waren weg, dafür standen dort jetzt 2 Mädchen, die wohl irgendwie zum Jugendhaus gehörten. "Wir passen auf euer Auto auf. Die wollten das nämlich knacken und die Anlage rausholen. Wir haben das mitgekriegt und deshalb stehn wir jetzt hier." Ich mußte lachen. Was für eine verrückte Stadt. Unser 50 Mark Autoradio klauen. Schweinfurt ich liebe Dich.

Kidd Life

Hard-hitting and darkly comic music documentary-turned-social commentary following Nicholas Kidd, a young, ordinary guy who shoots to fame overnight when his mock-rap YouTube video goes viral. As he is invited onto talk shows, to awards ceremonies, and even to partake in a charity poetry reading, Kidd illustrates the absurdity of his fame and how disturbingly surreal it is that the joke has got so out of hand. But slowly the tables turn and, lured by sex, drugs and wild partying, we watch Kidd get swept up in the world he started out mocking.

Hedgehog in the Fog (Ёжик в тумане)

This is a story about a little hedgehog (voiced by Mariya Vinogradova) and his friend bear cub (voiced by Vyacheslav Nevinniy). The two would meet every evening to drink tea from the cub's samovar, which was heated on a fire of juniper twigs. As they drank their tea, the hedgehog and the bear conversed and counted the stars together. One day, the hedgehog decided to bring raspberry jam. As he went to the bear to count the stars, he passed through the woods and found a horse standing in a fog, where the hedgehog can't even see his own pink paw. He is curious as to whether the horse would drown if it went to sleep in the fog. The hedgehog decides to explore the fog.

Einem wie Sandro Wagner hätte ich allerdings nicht unbedingt zugetraut, dass er in der Bundesliga spielt. Der hat bei mir in 42 oder 43 Spielen zwei Tore geschossen. Das ist tatsächlich der Spieler, bei dem ich sagen könnte: »Er hat mich eines besseren belehrt.« Wobei man erst einmal abwarten muss. Schließlich ist man noch kein Bundesligaspieler, wenn man dreimal eingewechselt wird.

Why the kill decision shouldn’t belong to a robot

As a novelist, Daniel Suarez spins dystopian tales of the future. But on the TEDGlobal stage, he talks us through a real-life scenario we all need to know more about: the rise of autonomous robotic weapons of war. Advanced drones, automated weapons and AI-powered intelligence-gathering tools, he suggests, could take the decision to make war out of the hands of humans.

Recently, Tyler sat down at a sold event in New York’s Highline Ballroom to speak to Elliot Wilson, for the CRWN live interview series. The interview – which lasted over an hour – took place on April 23rd and was not your typical Tyler interview.
