Guerilla Lighting London
(13 February 2007) - A hundred-strong guerilla army is descending on London this Thursday night, to peacefully spread their love of light. After successfully turning Manchester many different colours in November 2006 (see images), Martin Lupton and his team from the Building Design Partnership are going to do the same in the English capital as part of Switched On London—a lighting festival that's been centered on a part...

The 50th London Film Festival
(19 October 2006) - The 50th anniversary London Film Festival kicked off last night with the superb The Last King of Scotland (pictured right). It may not be immediately obvious from the title, but it's about African despot Idi Amin, who ruled, and ruined, Uganda in the 1970s. Forest Whittaker plays Amin, in a performance that should earn him at least an Oscar nomination. Rising Scottish star James...

Ten Things to See at the London Design Festival
(15 September 2006) - Kicking off today, the London Design Festival is a two-week extravaganza with a bewildering array of shows, exhibitions, seminars and general hobnobbing, big names, young talent, highly commercial offerings, as well as work which is so conceptual we’re not really sure if it’s even design. As we reported earlier this week Icon Magazine published a guide, but to make it even easier, here are...

The Warehouse Project
(15 August 2006) - Until now, urban music festivals have largely stuck to the template laid down by their rural equivalents, with bands and DJs playing in big marquees in an open space like Hyde Park instead of one in Somerset. The Warehouse Project looks like it's set to turn the whole thing on its head, and not just because it's happening outside of summer. It comes to...

Sónar 2006
(21 June 2006) - After our strange multimedia experience at Sonarama, it was time to get our dancing shoes on for Sónar. I was so enthusiastic about getting there that I was the first person off the first bus Friday night. Why in such as hurry you ask? Just one name: Gilles Peterson, the main man for funky soulful electro beats in the UK, with his amazing worldwide...

Sonarama
(20 June 2006) - Ahhhh, summertime in Barcelona, can you feel the heat and the beats? Year-round this city's thumping to one rhythm or another, but summer months are a whole different story. For all the music festivals that descend on the town at this time of year, how anyone gets any sleep or does any work is a Catalan mystery. At its heart Barcelona is an electropolis...

A Rum Do
(08 June 2006) - The UK has to be the world capital for summer music festivals, led by the daddy of them all, Glastonbury. Roughly every five years, though, the festival isn't held. This 'fallow' year allows Somerset venue Worthy Farm a chance to regenerate and, inadvertently, it also allows other festivals to carve a bit of a niche for themselves. That's the case this year, and A...

Candela Art and Music Festival
(28 October 2005) - by Dustin Ross Each October, for the past 4 years, DJ's, artists and tropical treasure hunters make their way down to Old San Juan Puerto Rico to bask in the warmth that is the Candela Art and Music Festival. Candela, also the name of the main club/gallery on calle San Sebastian in Old San Juan, continues to play host to underground artists and dj's...

London Design Festival 2005
(22 September 2005) - London's always calling, but right now, with the 3rd annual London Design Festival running through September 30th, the siren song is a little louder. Exhibitions, cafes, and events take over the city and, curiously, most of what caught our eye happens on the East end, like Geoff McFetridge's premiere show in the UK at Kemistry Gallery (runs through October 5th), a Rococo installation of...

Toilet Tricycle Race
(14 September 2005) - Just because the moment has passed, does not mean it isn't worth mentioning. For example, The Toilet Tricycle Race kicked off the annual Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe on September 2nd. The event was created and organized by artists Steven and Billy Blaise Dufala. They hoped to provide opportunities for a collaborative creative environment and community involvement. The race took place in...

Plein Air Movies in Barcelona
(05 July 2005) - In BCN (as local expats call it) I've experienced some of the hottest, stickiest Summer nights. That kind of weather doesn't stop Spanish partiers, but sometimes the best way to cope is to do nothing but lounge outdoors screen-side. Cine Sin Techo is a free alfresco series held in Barri Gótic, a section of narrow streets and tall, crumbling buildings that is part of...

Nextfest
(27 June 2005) - I too made it to Nextfest, Wired Magazine's showcase of all things futuristic. Interestingly, the press day was also the education day so it was a great chance to see how kids responded to all the exhibits. It was no surprise that they found all things glowing and blinking to be most interesting. The big differentiator for today's youth is the expectation for interactivity--...

Miami, Music, Multimedia
(24 March 2005) - Ari K is down in Miami at the M3 (Miami, Music, Multimedia) conference. He's done us a favor and put up a blog to report on all the festivities. We'll put up a highlights post when the conference is all over, but for a play-by-play go to Nu Groove. What's Ari's schtick? Bio after the jump. ...

Here's her report: When going to an anime festival, here are a few preliminary concerns… 1. coming to terms with your own inner geekdom 2. tolerance for high school teenyboppers who are also geeks 3. an ability to sit on your ass for hours at a time The...
