Robot Love- Spike Jonze's New Film Free Online




Facts are facts and Spike Jonze is a genius. Along with Michel Gondry, he’s one of my long-time favourite directors (ever since his legendary vid for Björk’s “It’s Oh So Quiet” all the way up to last year’s “Where The Wild Things Are”). And now he’s about to explore the humanity of being a robot.

His latest half-hour short film “I’m Here” is now available free online! Commissioned in collab with Absolut (and say what you want about corporate sponsorship, Absolut has a long history of supporting the arts and working with up-and-coming designers and artists through various campaigns) it’s the story of two robots meeting up and falling in love in LA.

If you've got an interest in adorable robot love and wanna feel full and empty and loved and alone all at the same time, click the pic or head this-a-way!

Rafaël Rozendaal- Online Artist


Stop what you are doing right now and go explore the hypnotic world of artist Rafaël Rozendaal!

Rafaël makes websites as art pieces, sells them with their domain name, but the work remains public. His art is for all to see and best of all its interactive- simply by clicking your mouse. It's also extremely hypnotic. His main site includes the links to all his "art works" AKA other websites, each better then the next. So turn up your volume (some sites are audio-based) and prepare to waste time effectively!
