Quand la réalité dépasse la fiction, les limites du tragi-comiques sont une fois de plus repoussées. La dernière tendance en Chine est à la reproduction de quartiers européens entiers comme en atteste ce photo reportage Reuters sur le fake de Paris en construction. Une démesure qui ne concurrence que les chantiers pharaoniques des Emirats Arabes et leurs conditions de travail parmis les pire au monde.

Il semblerait bien que le collectif anti pub New Yorkais Eyebeam nous prépare quelque chose... en témoigne cet appel secret à la participation... Un beau happening à la sauce flash mob en perspective...
"Using the simplest of tools, together we will shutdown (albeit briefly) over 85 manhattan outlets of an undisclosed multi-national corporation without breaking any laws. Steve Lambert (Anti-Advertising Agency, Eyebeam OpenLab) needs your help for a top secret project. This is not a gimmick. We’re not trying to create buzz. If word gets out too early, the whole thing could fall apart. What’s it all about? Using the simplest of tools, together we will shut down (albeit briefly) over 85 manhattan outlets of an undisclosed multi-national corporation without breaking any laws. This project will likely get on the news. Come and meet with Steve for a group orientation. We’ll create some simple drawings and you’ll be given a map and assigned to a division of manhattan. You will leave something at a specific spot, take a photo, and repeat at a series of locations. Then return to the original meeting point to add your digital photos to the pool, and have your photograph taken with the rest of the group. There is no public embarassment involved. Everything you do will be legal, fun, and probably make you laugh."

"People said ‘what the fuck is that? It looks like a clown’s been sick”. In the early 90s, the mother of all rows blew up between, on the one hand, the traditionalist school of American designers led by Massimo Vignelli and, in defiant opposition, the avant garde of Emigre and the Cranbrook Academy of Art. The catalyst was an essay in Eye magazine by Steven Heller entitled Cult of the Ugly, in which the world’s most prolific design writer took Cranbrook and its students to task over, as he saw it, their gratuitously ugly output. Well now, it seems, ugly is back." Extract from CR Blog "The New Ugly" Article, ici en entier.
