Super Contemporary at the Design Museum
June 3rd, 2009
Ubermore made this interactive installation, Freedom Space, with Nevile Brody Research Studios for the Design Museum Super Contemporary show. Walking through a room filled with life stream CCTV, 24 cameras film the visitor from various angles and play it back into a grid of 320 film clips. Freedom fighter meets Bill Viola! A place to be seen and heard – many times, small times!
At the heart of the Super Contemporary exhibition are fifteen commissions from some of London’s most dynamic creatives, as a group they demonstrate the diverse approaches to design in London. Worthwhile watching.

I think the exhibition does celebrate London rather well….all artists exhibiting have done an excellent job with the work that they put in! Have you been to the Super Contemporary exhibition – I have and it is excellent – work by Nigel Coates and his design are m favourites. Hope to go again as I’ve registered here http://www.supercontemporary.co.uk/?s=ticket-giveaway to gain free entry. Enjoy.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
