A Unique View of New York City [Weekend Watch]

This is an incredible video of a a remote-controlled plane flying  exploring New York City from a true “birds-eye” view.

From Youtube:

Lyrics:
Okay, step into my room after a long, hard, day,
Feeling cramped, kinda nauseous, I gotta get away,
To an outdoor utopia, fresh and green,
Full of plants and gardens, so very serene,
Only problem is that I live in the city,
To find a place such like this, I’ve got to be witty,
Public parks are crowded full of people and pets,
Man, I’m thinking about a place only seen by jets.

Chorus:
Urban Gardening, Growing plants on the roof,
Efficient with space and energy that’s the truth,
What the limit is, it’s hard to say,
This is how we’re building a better tomorrow today.

Urban gardening is shown to reduce energy costs associated with cooling office buildings and households. In addition, the organic foods produced by these rooftop farms is not only healthy for yourself, but also the environment. It is about using space wisely. As our cities become more and more populated, urban gardening is providing a new connection to healthy eating, and helping beautify neighborhoods across the globe.

A Dog in the City [Weekend Watch]

UK stencil artist Pahnl takes a twenty-first century approach to street art by combining stop motion animation with stencils and long-form exposure. The result is a timeless story of a dog wandering the streets doing what a dog does. Music What Else Is There? A Dog in the City [Weekend Watch] by Röyksopp. The animation was first exhibited at the The Herbert, on the 7th October 2010.

If life is a catwalk, run like a dog.

With well over 300 hours in the making, more than 200 stencils involved and too many cold nights spent outside on my knees getting the shots, I am very happy (and relieved) to finally share this with you. Through the course of shooting ‘Nowhere Near Here’, I have dealt with curious drunks, a dog almost peeing on the camera (the irony is not lost on me, haha), the endlessly suspicious police and even someone nearly running off with a tripod.

This is street art, this is life and thank you for watching.

…for those of you that may be interested in prints, a selection of film stills from ‘Nowhere Near Here’ are currently available at pahnl.co.uk/ ​store.php
