It’s been over a year since we last checked in with video artist Erdal Inci (previously) who clones multiple recordings of himself moving through public spaces resulting in these bizarre looping performances. Inci often carries lights or other objects which lend a sense of choreography to each video, and at times the exposure eliminates him from the scene or makes him appear shadowlike in the background. Here are a few of our favorites over the last few months but you can see more on his website and at a higher resolution on Vimeo. (via iGNANT)
Up all night, Patrick Joust
A Yale undergrad has produced what has got to be the highest evolution of time-wasting yet: Hardlywork.in. This brilliant site, once it’s got your Facebook Connect credentials, converts your newsfeed into a productive-looking Excel spreadsheet. Gone are paranoia and stress– unless, of course, your company secretly tracks everything you do anyways. If that’s the case, you’re probably already screwed for checking this site instead of incessantly feeding your soul to the money machine.
The Atlantic notes that a similar site was out first, but this one was made by an Ivy Leaguer so we feel some weird sense of loyalty to it (the other site doesn’t seem to be working, anyways).
Update: If you see any site downtime, it’s because Penn kids (literally, it’s a ton of Quakers, we asked the founder) have been driving so much traffic there that they’re upgrading.
