50’s ads are still so cool even the technology being advertised is now basically a dinosaur!

—Eric Hoffer, American social writer

Death. Can’t live with it or without it. It sucks! Death is terrible when someone you love passes. But we’ve also all grieved when, say, a product that we’ve become attached to is put out on the ice flow. The Stone Twins, from Amsterdam, memorialized this grief over things in their book, Logo R.I.P., which was first published in 2003. It commemorated 50 defunct logos; “many included may be regarded as icons of their time or international design classics,” noted Gerech Stone in a recent letter. “The core thesis of Logo R.I.P. is that logos that were once an integral part of our visual culture and lives are worthy of commemoration, or even preservation.”

This year a second edition has been published by BIS with some new tombstones in the logo cemetery, including AT&T, Kodak, Lucent, Xerox and Rand’s Enron. “These ‘obituaries,’” Stone wrote, “ensure that although the logos may be gone, they are not forgotten.” Given the morbidly clever way the logos are presented, I don’t think I’ll forget them too soon.

Pure Imagination

Rest — Sing Me To Sleep - Indie Lullabies

Listen

literaryjukebox:

We always think of the imagination as the faculty that forms images. On the contrary, it is a faculty that deforms the images that we perceive; it is, above all, the faculty that frees us from immediate images and changes them. If there is no change, or unexpected fusion of images, there is no imagination; there is no imaginative process. If the image that is present does not make us think of one that is absent, if an image does not determine an abundance—an explosion— of atypical images, then there is no imagination.

Kevin Kelly’s TEDxAmsterdam talk from 2010: thought-provoking muses on what technology means in our lives — from its impact at the personal level to its place in the cosmos.

“So what does the Internet want? It wants to lower the cost for creating and sharing information. The notion sounds unimpeachable when you phrase it like that, until you realize all the strange places that kind of affordance ultimately leads to. The Internet wants to breed algorithms that can execute thousands of financial transactions per minute, and it wants to disseminate the #occupywallstreet meme across the planet. The Internet ‘wants’ both the Wall Street tycoons and the popular insurrection at its feet.”
