Revenge of The N.E.R.D

Okayplayer



photo by ?uestlove



The YouTube footage of N.E.R.D. at SXSW has got me hyped for these cats again. So much that I had to revisit their (and Spymob's) classic In Search Of... last Friday night. COT DAMN! Suffice to say, they are back with some heat as seen in this clip from their performance at Levi's®/FADER Fort in Austin last week.

Sarah Lacy: interviews gone bad

Journalist becomes the story at Mark Zuckerberg SXSWi keynote


interview on youtube

During Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's keynote address Sunday here at South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi), on-stage interviewer Sarah Lacy out-and-out bombed, becoming much more of the story than she should have been and having the capacity crowd turn on her over the course of the hour discussion.

The interview between journalist Sarah Lacy and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg got ugly quick and then went downhill.
(Credit: Caroline McCarthy/CNET News.com)
"Other than rough interviews," an audience member asked Zuckerberg during a short Q&A session at the end of the keynote, "what are some of the biggest challenges Facebook faces?"

"Has this been a rough interview?" Lacy asked Zuckerberg.

"I wasn't asking you, I was asking Mark," the audience member said.

The battle between Lacy and the audience began almost immediately. From the beginning of her interview with Zuckerberg, she repeatedly interrupted him, and all around me, I started to hear annoyed murmurs of people saying that she should stop doing so.

Later on, Zuckerberg himself seemed to get annoyed by Lacy's style. As he was answering one of her questions, she began to talk over him, only to notice his reaction.

"I kind of cut you off," she said. "You kind of had this hurt look, like, 'I was talking.'"

Near me in the third row of the ballroom, someone said, "Is she serious?"

It only got worse from there. At one point, Lacy got confused about how much time was left for the interview, and Zuckerberg teased her.

"Did you run out of questions?" he asked.

The line got a huge cheer from the thousands in the audience.

Burning questions about journals
By now, it became clear to me and everyone around me that the audience was totally on Zuckerberg's side and totally against Lacy. A few minutes later she began to ask him about a series of journals he has kept about Facebook's progress over the years. Zuckerberg clearly felt that she was leading him, and seemed to clam up a little bit.

"You have to ask questions," he said.

Again, his line generated a massive cheer from the crowd.

By now, Lacy was becoming aware of how she was losing the crowd, and said, "Anybody who's seen my (TV) show...has seen me throw a whole glass of water on (Techcrunch founder Michael) Arrington."

With a sly look, Zuckerberg grabbed her water glass and moved it out of her reach.

She then tried to follow up the line of questioning about the journals, saying that one of the interesting things about his process was that he burned the journals when he was done with them.

"I don't do that," Zuckerberg said. "You made that up."

Shocked, Lacy called out to the back of the room where someone who had apparently sat and talked with Lacy and Zuckerberg the night before was sitting in an attempt to get confirmation that he had said he burned his journals.

Someone from the crowd yelled out at the top of his lungs, "Talk about something interesting!"

Again, a monstrous cheer.

At this point, Lacy lost it.

"Try doing what I do for a living," she said. "It's not that easy."

The crowd was not sympathetic, and some demanded that she turn the microphone over to the audience so they could ask questions.

So she responded angrily, "Let's go with the Digg model and let them have mob rule."

And as the audience members began to ask questions, she said, "Someone send me a message afterward about exactly why I sucked so much."

In response, someone yelled out, "What's your e-mail address?"

And someone else shouted, "Check Twitter."

Call for Artists: Click! A Crowd-Curated Exhibition

2008-03-13 until 2008-03-31
Brooklyn Museum of Art
Brooklyn, NY



This open call for a photography exhibition to be curated by the public will be installed at Brooklyn Museum. Click! A Crowd-Curated Exhibition is a photography installation that invites Brooklyn Museum’s visitors, the online community, and the general public to participate in the exhibition process. The installation will be on view from June 27–August 10, 2008 at the Brooklyn Museum. Taking its inspiration from the critically acclaimed book The Wisdom of Crowds, in which New Yorker business and financial columnist James Surowiecki asserts that a diverse crowd is often wiser at making decisions than expert individuals, Click! explores whether Surowiecki’s premise can be applied to the visual arts — is a diverse crowd just as “wise” at evaluating art as the trained experts?



Click! is an exhibition in three consecutive parts. It begins with an open call—artists are asked to electronically submit a work of photography that responds to the exhibition’s theme, “Changing Faces of Brooklyn,” along with an artist statement. The open call is scheduled from March 1–31, 2008. After the conclusion of the open call, an online forum opens for audience evaluation of all submissions; as in other juried exhibitions, all works will be anonymous. As part of the evaluation, each visitor answers aseries of questions about his/her knowledge of art and perceived expertise. The online forum will occur from April 1– May 23, 2008. Click! culminates in an exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, where the photographs will be installed according to their relative ranking from the juried process. Visitors will also be able to see how different groups within the crowd evaluated the same works of art. The results will be analyzed and discussed by experts in the fields of art, online communities, and crowd theory. The installation will be on view from June 27–August 10, 2008. Click! A Crowd-Curated Exhibition is organized by Shelley Bernstein, Manager of Information Systems, Brooklyn Museum.

Krave

Crave Krave?



Krave digs girls with junk in the trunk. Daniel Aaron Fila aka Krave is a Miami-based graffiti and street artist with a particular interest in murals, as well as girls with booty to share, as we can see from the paintings on his website, and this piece, The Coppertone Woman. We love Krave’s versatility and his positive message: “I want to continue building a dialogue with the community and give back to the younger aspiring artists for generations to come. My goal isn’t to leave a mark on the canvas, my goal is to leave a mark on you, the observer.”

mondomedeusah music recommends: Robert Owens

It's time again for Robert Owens, the buttery voice on epic classics “I'll Be Your Friend” and Fingers Inc.'s “Can You Feel It,” who defined the soul of vocal house, to bless us with a collection of tunes built in collaboration with producers as varied as Kirk Degiorgio and Jimpster. Owens' graceful, transcendent voice and an insistent house pulse weaves these tracks together, even as the productions sashay from the trappings of Germanic techno (“Merging”) to the futuristic R&B of “Now I Know.” Those in the know will remember Owen's DJ and production chops are nearly the equal of his legendary voice, and his self-produced piano mover “Press On” will remind any who forgot.
