creative juices 1

two almost completely unrelated things have caught my imagination in the last week. sometimes something you see or hear or read pushes your imagination that much further on - gives you a little kickstart...

1. the bone people by keri hulme. a new zealand book that won the booker prize for fiction in 1985 and has consistently been on nz bestseller lists ever since. i studied nz literature at university but somehow missed reading this. the only thing i knew about it was its reputation - i knew nothing about its plot etc and that is still a mystery to me that's unfolding as i read. i'm only a few pages in but what i've read has captured me with its beautiful writing, unconventional narrativ
e styles and a host of other things that might be ruined if i try to put them into words...


2. rip - a remix manifesto. watch this thought-provoking film for free. a documentary about remix culture and the things threatening it...

here's the first chapter, the rest is here...
