The Exhibition that shouldn't exist

0 commenti


The Exhibition that shouldn't exist doesn't have an artist and it isn't art. But it portrays the reality of the irresponsible arms trade around the world, turning visible a violent truth that many don't see.

This exhibition only exists because at every minute, armed violence makes a fatal victim. Because every year, 26 million people are forced to flee from their homes due to armed conflicts.
Because 300 thousand child soldiers are fighting wars and 2 of 3 people killed by armed violence die in countries at peace.





The Exhibition that shouldn't exist is a campaign for Control Arms, a global civil society alliance that is fighting for the Arms Trade Treaty, which will be negotiated on the next UN conference between 18 and 28 of march

The Google Graveyard - Leave a flower for a deceased Google product.

0 commenti
It’s hard to lose a loved one, especially if that loved one is a Google service. That’s why we’re opening the gates of the Google Graveyard, a virtual space for grieving. Buried in these hallowed grounds are some of Google’s ill-fated services. Some, like Google Reader, lived long, prosperous lives, full of admiration and glory. Most, like Google Wave and Google Buzz, struggled to carve out a place in this harsh, unforgiving world where technologies continuously clash and innovation reigns king. But whether these services transformed our productivity or only polluted our inboxes, they all touched our world in some way.
