Benjamin’s Project, which many scholars believe might have become one of the great texts of 20th-century cultural criticism, was never completed due to his death under uncertain circumstances on the French-Spanish border in 1940. Written between 1927 and 1940, the Arcades Project has been posthumously edited and published in many languages as a collection of unfinished reflections. These arcades began to be constructed around the beginning of the nineteenth century and were sometimes destroyed as a result of Baron Haussmann’s renovation of Paris during the Second French Empire. Benjamin linked them to the city’s distinctive street life and saw them as providing one of the habitats of the Flâneur (i.e., strolling in a locale to experience it).”</p> </blockquote>http://blog.alexanderward.net/post/11330742157http://blog.alexanderward.net/post/11330742157Tue, 11 Oct 2011 22:56:52 +0100<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsx8t4g2sY1r064l6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://dwellingmaps.tumblr.com/post/11330596286">dwellingmaps</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://boingboing.net/2011/10/11/cloud-cities-art-installation-of-giant-plastic-bubbles.html"><a href="http://boingboing.net/2011/10/11/cloud-cities-art-installation-of-giant-plastic-bubbles.html">http://boingboing.net/2011/10/11/cloud-cities-art-installation-of-giant-plastic-bubbles.html</a></a></p> </blockquote>http://blog.alexanderward.net/post/11330703791http://blog.alexanderward.net/post/11330703791Tue, 11 Oct 2011 22:55:59 +0100http://blog.alexanderward.net/post/11113497456http://blog.alexanderward.net/post/11113497456Thu, 06 Oct 2011 22:47:31 +0100<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nc__3nsfxwA?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>das racist - michael jackson </p>http://blog.alexanderward.net/post/11066496031http://blog.alexanderward.net/post/11066496031Wed, 05 Oct 2011 19:21:00 +0100<a href="http://www.last.fm/user/alexanderward/charts?charttype=weekly&date_to=1317556800">My Top 5 Artists (Week Ending 2011-10-2)</a>: <ol><li> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.last.fm/music/Das+Racist">Das Racist (14)</a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.last.fm/music/Wu-Tang+Clan">Wu-Tang Clan (5)</a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.last.fm/music/James+Blake">James Blake (4)</a></li> </ol><p>Imported from <a target="_blank" href="http://joelaz.com/post/23488847/last-fm-tumblr-weekly-top-artists">Last.fm Tumblr</a> by <a target="_blank" href="http://joelaz.com">JoeLaz</a></p>http://blog.alexanderward.net/post/10983819780http://blog.alexanderward.net/post/10983819780Mon, 03 Oct 2011 22:17:00 +0100<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lscwyjGtao1qz7ymyo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lscwyjGtao1qz7ymyo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lscwyjGtao1qz7ymyo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lscwyjGtao1qz7ymyo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://tumblr.photojojo.com/post/10868440915">photojojo</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>“Godspeed,” photographs of fireflies by <span><a href="http://www.katrienvermeire.com/">Katrien Vermeire</a>.
