No Man's Land

When the storm is over and the night falls and the moon is out in all its glory and all you're left with is the rhythm of the sea, of the waves, you know what God intended for the human race, you know what paradise is.
Party Time, Harold Pinter

Under Your Skin




Gavin Watson's Skins & Punks is a sensitive and honest coming-of-age story set against the grey backdrop of Thatcher's Britain. Pictures of his family, his girlfriend and friends that get under your skin without you realising.

Today Is The Shadow Of Tomorrow

Us Now is a new film project, directed by Ivo Gormley, about the power of mass collaboration, government and the internet. It's an articulate provocation about the role of social media and the potential it has to change our world.

The revolution doesn't happen when society adopts new tools. It happens when it adopts new behaviours.

Clay Shirky

You know this scene is very humdrum
And my favourite song's entitled 'Boredom'
