Snap. You’re on candid camera. Benoit Paillé skilfully initiates the holiday photo to treasure during his brief encounters with strangers in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
Each subject was given control of the shutter release in order to give him / her the opportunity to choose their ideal holiday pose. Holiday photos never looked so good.
“If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.”
So what do you think about the Economy, Equality, Education and Digital Politics. What’s Next? aims to find out.
Each week a different art collective, group of technologists, printers, designers will take over the KK Outlet gallery space and create work in response to a live twitter feed as people discuss a specific topic:
Critical Architecture Network: Economy week 4 – 9 June 2012
Girlcore: Equality week 11 – 16 June 2012
Technology Will Save Us: Digital Politics week 18 – 23 June 2012
People of Print: Education week 25 – 30 June 2012
There will be a different panel discussion and workshop each week, exploring the themes of Economy, Equality, Digital Politics and Education. These panels are made up of a rich and inspiring collective of thinkers, doers and activists. Needless to say twenty%extra™ will be involved as part of the education panel chaired by Lawrence Zeegen.
What’s next? Do they have big plans on how to right today’s wrongs? Do they have new ideas on how deal with the problems they have inherited?

If you follow our rag-tag twenty%extra fleet, you’ll know that we’ve recently relaunched LBB. To commemorate that launch, we’re running The Art of Winning Poster campaign with Boxpark Shoreditch. Want to know more? Well keep on reading.
POSTER DESIGN COMPETITION | THE BRIEF
The art of winning isn’t a board game or a game show. It’s not reality TV. It’s something you have to make a reality.
This summer at the London 2012 Summer Olympics, athletes from around the globe will be competing for medals, but for the rest of us, medals are not the reward. The reward is knowing we’ve got the best out of ourselves through years of hard work, dedication and more hard work. Winning feels good but it doesn’t come easy.
From personal happiness to leaving a genuine personal legacy; life’s potential list of achievements are too many to surmise.
Taking inspiration from The Olympics coming to LDN, LBB and Boxpark Shoreditch will be featuring 14 of the best poster designs that showcase what the ‘art of winning’ looks like.
And that is where you come in. We’re looking for 14 creative superstars to show us exactly what ‘winning’ means to you.

Tomorrow, CDR Birmingham goes to the heart of the West Midlands in session with The Insomniax (Earnest Endeavours), Tony Nwachukwu & Guests.
Venue: Bull’s Head, 23 St Mary’s Row, Moseley, Birmingham, B13 8HW.
You can upload your tracks to be heard at the session to the CDR Soundcloud. Sounds of the CDR travels and more can also be found on the the bi-monthly CDR Audio Show on NTS. Get involved.
Let us hark back to a time when the cars were red, the design was pure and the roll cages non-existent. A beautiful piece of barely plausible engineering. No you’re not getting a lift.
