I am currently doing an internship with the Arizona Students Association. ASA is a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization that advocates on student issues such as tuition, voter access, things of that nature. We are currently working on getting people to vote yes on proposition 100. This is a proposition that would raise the AZ sales tax by 1cent. This revenue which as already been factored into the AZ budget, would go towards education, human services, and public safety.

My friend Lauren D. and I are both the media coordinators for Tempe, AZ and we spent all last week working on a video to inform people about Prop 100. I thought I would post it here and you all could take a look. Enjoy and remember if you are from Arizona vote yes on Prop 100.

Urban Abstract from Musuta on Vimeo.

I’m blown away by this video, or rather a collection of short films that encompass a whole.  Sort of like a subatomic particle…   This piece was created in Tokyo by Art Director Jopsu Ramu from Musuta Ltd. and Shun Kawakami, an artist and designer.  The film is in effect 40 five second clips or one massive 200 second journey of awesomeness.

According to the artists themselves Urban Abstract is:

“…a journey across urban space that unfolds in forty, 5 second parts. The journey, in one, two and three dimensions, is a bit like abstract surfing in which the original destination is only reached after a number of seemingly random yet linked detours occur. Points , lines, planes and other abstract elements create a journey through an Urban Abstract.
The space between things is as important as intended space, perhaps creating a fourth dimension. Meaningful shapes and purposes occur in this dimension’s reality as well. The concept of negative space has meaning here.

Nature plays a part as well. To be able to understand and differentiate what is urban one has understand what is nature.
The style of the shorts is fluid and, though seemingly random, stream into a cohesive whole. Perhaps watching them in a different order would be more like seeing the same journey from another point of view. The sound world is also very important — movement in space is sensed even if watching the shorts with eyes closed. Sounds overlap, fade, come and go.
Architectural, abstract, someway minimalist and abstract with a touch of humanity.
This feeling is reached through mixing techniques such as vectors , hand drawn lines and painting.”

I just saw the trailer for Sex and the City 2! I can not even put into words how excited I am. I wonder what is going to happen in the movie? Its not like they can make Carrie and Big break up and get back together again. The previews make the movie look like so much fun. Check it out!

I am in love with Michael Buble’s new hit “I Haven’t met you yet”. I love the sound, the lyrics, and the music video. Here it is for your viewing pleasure:
