The Yellow Llama (Mark to his mom) alerted me to this fantastic use of the jQuery javascript library by World of Merix, a  polish web design firm.

Innovative uses of jQuery and other scripting libraries, along with HTML5, should hasten the demise of Flash which will be good news for everybody. Spend your afternoon over at World of Merix. You won’t be disappointed.

Not the Site of the Week -Incredible Connection

Oh dear. If there one thing you can really rely on – with far greater certainty than those old chestnuts death and taxes – it’s that a large South African organisation will release a disastrous web site on an almost weekly basis. This week’s “winner” is Incredible Connection. I’m not going to write some long usability post here, just take a look at the  screenshot and wonder why they would launch an e-commerce site that you can’t shop at! If you’re feeling particularly masochistic you can visit Incredible Connection, and there’s a pretty detailed dissection (and a LOT of inane commenting) at We Are Not Freelancers.

Incredibly bad

“How it would be, if a house was dreaming”

The conception of this project consistently derives from its underlying architecture – the theoretic conception and visual pattern of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. The Basic idea of narration was to dissolve and break through the strict architecture of O. M. Ungers “Galerie der Gegenwart”. Resultant permeabilty of the solid facade uncovers different interpretations of conception, geometry and aesthetics expressed through graphics and movement. A situation of reflexivity evolves – describing the constitution and spacious perception of this location by means of the building itself.

“The Camera Is Not a Machine Gun”

Design Observer (despite the terrible re-design, still the best design writing on the web) has a piece on David Goldblatt’s latest exhibition,  “Intersections Intersected: The Photography of David Goldblatt,” on view at New York’s New Museum through October 11. A number of Goldblatt’s recent photographs come out of a shoot with Cape Town production company Free Range Films for the television series ‘Masupatsela’.

Read the Design Observer article, and if you head over to the Free Range Films site you can read about the shoot and watch a short interview with the photographer.

Thanks for nothing

Finally, I’d like to thank Woolworths for forcing a browser choice on me and everybody who uses Firefox.

Thanks

If they can’t even get it together to update their copyright information what hope for cross-browser functionality?

Adam says:

“This is an edited version of my stop frame animated art work titled Perpetuum. It explores ideas related to: monotony, repetitiveness, tedium and the relentless nature of attempts to keep up with the pass of contemporary life. It was shot with a digital stills camera over a period of 3 months, mounted on my kitchen wall, and aimed at the sink area. There are approximately 5000 frames, running at 25 frames per second, about 6 minutes of footage is looped, and plays uninterrupted for ever and ever and ever.”
