032c consists of a workshop of writers and R&D design managing consultants based out of Berlin, Germany.
Their description and The New York Times beautiful statement about the 032c Magazine is amazing in its own right. I'd like to get my hands on the publication ASAP.
032c is a bi-annual contemporary culture magazine at the intersections of fashion, art and politics. Finding the new in the old and the old in the new, 032c invites leading and emerging creatives to collaborate on mono thematic issues. It has been considered to be "dedicated to the celebration of ideas" by i-D, "revue ultra-pointue" by French Vogue, or simply as "the Berlin magazine that propogates an aesthetic of brutal elegance" by Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. "The magazine fuses art and architecture, literature, urban studies and fashion in ways", states New York Times, "that can make one forget how depressing a visit to a newsstand has become."

Hej, Lina
still from "video portrait-amanda-"
Good photography in its purest form. Paris based Swede, Lina Scheynius has a sort of erie yet calm quality to her work. From her photography alone I'd like to know more about her and seemingly interesting lifestyle.
+ Her video portraits are very beautiful as well and further exemplify the whole erie thing I stated above.

Wake up & Watch.
I had always loved those days..a class where all we do is watch old science films from laser disc, this short video created in 1977 by the office of Charles and Ray Eames go's through 'the power in increments of 10'. The video also demonstrates how there is not only a Universe that surrounds our planet but one within ourself and pretty much all other raw matter.

New York relationships.
Cultural entrepreneur Jack Heller recently brought attention to a new film in production called New York, I Love You. Apparently the film is going to be the sister movie to the Paris, Je' t'aime project. I'm anxious to see how the idea is going to be interpreted from the world and eyes of a New Yorker. The possibilities are virtually endless, if done right can make for an epic set of short films.
I swear this is the last of my New York related posts.

Tama
Brushing up on my networking skills was one of the main goals I set for myself during my trip to New York. So I decided to interview employees of some the the city's most respected shops. The questions focus a little bit about personal views on the city's urban framework and their shop in general. Unfortunately I was only successful at Opening Ceremony, where I met Tama a young soft spoken creative who couldn't understand why I picked her for the interview. Here's what she had to say:
How did you find yourself being involved with Opening Ceremony?
A friend hooked me up with it.
Would you say the experience inside Opening Ceremony is based around the clothing itself or a specific idea?
The experience you get when walking in here is a little bit disorganized but everything is stimulating in the right way. There are a lot of different price ranges and designers that Carol Lim and Humberto Leon feel like would be fun.
From a peronal observation, what shape do you see Opening Ceremony taking in the future?
Its already pretty well known so I feel like it’s going to be more staple, not too much downtown specific. Originally, mostly people downtown knew about it and not so many living uptown.
Are you pursuing any creative endeavors at the moment?
I make jewelry.
Favourite culture related publication, print or web based?

New York Reality Check 101
I recently took a seven day trip out to New York City and bought a Canon Snappy 50 to accompany me. I was anxious to see how the $10 camera would hold up and I have to say I'm impressed with some of the shots that came out of the 26 year old point and shoot.
Originally, I was waiting to upload these photos to a now debunked personal webspace project that was still in the brainstorming stages..I had just decided to throw a few of them on here for fun.
