Elevens are a new range of T-Shirts celebrating hypothetical all-time best XI’s of various football clubs and countries. Conceived as a cult alternative to the replica strip, the shirts are printed on heavy cotton Gildan shirts in London, UK. Their design owes a debt of inspiraton to Experimental Jetset’s T-Shirtism, and to the fan forums and pundits who regularly debate their respective clubs all-time, dream line ups.

“RE: JODI” Atelier Net Art / Hypermédia

Le département Hypermédia accueille le duo d’artistes JODI pour un atelier de 2 jours les 8 et 9 mars 2010 à l’université Paris 8 (Saint Denis).

S’étant imposé sur la scène internationale des arts numériques grâce à des travaux pionniers en Net Art sur le Web, mais aussi dans le domaine des arts hackers (modifications de jeux vidéos, etc.), JODI (Joan Heemskerk et Dirk Paesmans) développe aujourd’hui des interventions dans la matière humaine du réseau : le folklore des utilisateurs Web.

Au cours de cet atelier, JODI nous proposent ainsi d’explorer la “culture du commentaire”. Pratique ancrée dans les premières applications de conversation en réseau de l’Internet, sous la forme de réponses collectives à des “nouvelles” en ligne (Usenet), le commentaire est devenu une figure à part entière de la vie du Web. Le développement de suites d’applications permettant de gérer le contenu utilisateur directement en ligne (blogs, forums, wikis, réseaux sociaux, etc.) a été accompagné d’une floraison de commentaires des lecteurs du Web. D’abord textuel, le commentaire peut également emprunter la forme de l’image fixe ou animée (sur Youtube par exemple). Surtout, la pratique du commentaire fait évoluer le modèle du lecteur en participant des phénomènes de création en réseau.

L’atelier est ouvert au public sur inscription (envoyer un email à camillepaloqueberges@gmail.com).

As Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Max Baucus is one of the most instrumental lawmakers in crafting the health care reform that President Barack Obama has promised. In his many years on the committee, Baucus has amassed a wealth of connections to the health care and insurance industries, often through his ties to former staffers turned lobbyists.

The five former Baucus staffers who now lobby for the health care or insurance interests represent twenty-seven different companies or associations. In some cases these lobbyists have the same clients. This map of connections expose how close the many organizations seeking influence on health care reform are to one of the most powerful players in Washington.

All data was taken from OpenSecrets.org.

This new version of Tag Graph for Facebook, by Forrest Oliphant, brings considering improvements in terms of layout and navigation. It's an interesting way of browsing your friends' pictures and knowing in a glimpse with whom you share more photos. Not entirely convinced of the need for the background image on rollover state, but overall it's moving in a good direction.
