Found these 5 videos on youtube so compiled them into a playlist you can watch here. They make up a Documentary due to be screened on channel 4 which focus on several Video producers. This producer (Chris Cunningham) has produced music videos for some of my all time favorite artist including Squarpusher,Aphex twin,Portishead,Leftfield,Bjork to mention only a few. Born in reading and Hailing from Suffolk he first started of in film and special affects industry getting head hunted by the likes of Stanley Kubrick after animatronic work in Spitting image,Aliens 3 and Judge Dread to work on A.I. Strong ties with Warp records ensured ground breaking work with forwad thinking ground breaking Artists such as Autechre and Aphex. This is a nice 35min documentary focuses on mainly music...enjoy.

Released back in Dec but good all the same for all those that appreciate the Tech/dub movement...its slightly messy 3part rapidshare download but worth it all the same....hit up Echodubs site for all the info you need

I went to my local art gallery as i do with my 2 year old to keep an eye on whats on, not because there is allways something good but because with an award winning art gallery a couple of miles down the road it seems stupid not too....ive seen alot of animal photography and when i saw the brief description of what was on the top floor nothing really struck a cord with me...my skamp ran round the corner raising eye brows as a 2yr old in an art galley allways does showing no respect for the required hush. A couple of seconds later her click clack footsteps stopped and silence returned and as i rounded the corner into the gallery she was craning her head back and up in silent wonderment and this is why.......





































I hadent seen photography like this before..dark,forboding ,beautifull and well executed.

Fine art or street art....? that was my question when i stumbled accross Gaia a rising New york born artist whilst browsing Flickr. My subsequent google search and blog reading leads me to believe hes a street artist making waves not only on the international street art scene but with the fine art establishment in the US and Europe. Anyway your not hear to find out my opinion so ive laid out a couple of my favorite pieces and resources to make up your own mind....all i know is hes damm good and were gonna see and hear exited talk about this guy more and more....
