galera,

eu nao recebi [nem recebo] nada monetario p/ esta divulgação, mas acho q mtos nesta lista se interessariam pelo produto [ou ao menos por esta ideia] de 45 dolares & contato >> Calendar Artists on Their Bicycles New York 2010

Sao Paulo nao eh mto uma cidade tipica de bikers ["plana como santos"], mas fico mto feliz de poder cada vez mais cumprimentar -- pós 20 anos de pedaladas aqui por Sampa -- outros ciclistas tbm cotidianos pelas ruas e caminhos deste urbanismo caótico em que vivemos atualmente.

[]s e uma otima virada p/ 2010 a tds!

Towards A Cellphone Cinematography | part#3 :: another paper approved! :)

After my last paper entitled "Foucault checkmated inside Elite Squad movie or the mobile telecommunication as a tracking particle inside Salve Geral movie (Brazil and its contemporary society inside cinematographic conversations)", the new one [that includes a writing also based on “audiovisual rhetoric 2008: Batman#01″, July-October 2008] was accepted!! :)


Towards A Cellphone Cinematography
[a discussion about mobile telecommunication as a tracking particle
or Foucault checkmated inside widespread Movies]

In this article I will focus myself in two different movies: the blockbuster Batman – The Dark Knight (2008) and the recent Brazilian one Salve Geral (2009).

*How has been mobile telecommunication discussed in these recent popular movies?
*How are these everydayness surveillance technologies being discussed inside cinema?
*How did it become a central component of narrative?

This paper is a sequence of my master degree studies focused in Elite Squad film (2007) related to Foucault analyses about a increasing of control in society how it runs in a cinematography – as its digital networking derivated – discussion nowadays.
...
I'm interested to pointed out how realism depends upon a system of inter-textual and extra-textual codes, i.e. my movies' analyses must include breaking out a range of signification codes, looking at widespread as specific cultural contexts (mobile phones and Foucault studies are “the widespread one” and Brazilian movie and its social reality are “the specific one”). Throwing out of Christian Metz wrote: cinema as a collective production, i.e. how the cinema could be said to signify, or generate, a society common meaning.

The Nine Eyes of Google Street View [¿Surveillance or Spectacle?]

Two years ago, Google sent out an army of hybrid electric automobiles, each one bearing nine cameras on a single pole. Armed with a GPS and three laser range scanners, this fleet of cars began an endless quest to photograph every highway and byway in the free world.

Consistent with the company’s mission “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful,” this enormous project, titled Google Street View, was created for the sole purpose of adding a new feature to Google Maps.

Every ten to twenty meters, the nine cameras automatically capture whatever moves through their frame. Computer software stitches the photos together to create panoramic images. To prevent identification of individuals and vehicles, faces and license plates are blurred.

Today, Google Maps provides access to 360° horizontal and 290° vertical panoramic views (from a height of about eight feet) of any street on which a Street View car has traveled. For the most part, those captured in Street View not only tolerate photographic monitoring, but even desire it. Rather than a distrusted invasion of privacy, online surveillance in general has gradually been made ‘friendly’ and transformed into an accepted spectacle. [cont.]

Google Operating System #2: Image Swirl

"The service organizes image search results based on their visual and semantic similarities and presents them in an intuitive exploratory interface."

Visualization tool series, one of them we posted here two weeks ago


TRY IT ON



Google Image Swirl clusters the top image search results for more than 200,000 queries and it lets you explore the clusters and the relation between images.

"Once you find the group of images you're interested in, you can click on the thumbnail and a cluster of images will "swirl" into view. You can then further explore additional sub-groups within any cluster. Image Swirl expands on technologies developed for Similar Images and Picasa Face Recognition to discern how images should be grouped together and build hierarchies out of these groups. Each thumbnail on the initial results page represents an algorithmically-determined representative group of images with similar appearance and meaning. These aren't just the most relevant images — they are the most relevant groups of images,"

o copyrighted* Batman [2008], tal qual nosso recente Salve Geral [2009] e o participativo MANIFESTE-SE [todo mundo artista] – MOBILE WEBTV LIVE BROADCAST [2005-2008], discutem (dentro de suas causas primeiras/ hipóteses/ argumentos-bases) também a função estrutural da telefonia móvel [aquele brinquedinho chamado "celular" e de expansão da mobilidade comunicacional ao redor do mundo...]… Cada qual à sua maneira, apresentam - e discutem - jnt ao público uma mesma questão: tracking.

Dispositivo de Localização Geográfica.
Controle. Comunicação Rastreada.
O importante em uma sociedade disciplinar é exatamente esta possibilidade de controle total de tudo que se encontra em CIRCULAÇÃO, certo?…
uma espécie de DIGITAL DATA PANOPTICO, para além de uma rede Internet, um sistema móvel [mobile]

Mais do que isto, talvez.
Há também em comum, nesta cinematografia blockbuster internacional, uma discussão comportamental a la #Foucault [talvez até mesmo #Guatari e #Deleuze, entre tantos outros somente para citarmos aquela década de 70...],

vou me focar mais uma vez em Foucault neste post, já que estou retornando às pesquisas em voga no Brasil [e abroad] nesta virada de século e primeiros anos do século XXI.
...e quem diria q eu voltaria ao meu querido Batman de Nolan, Christopher [aquele msm britânico-diretor sobre Tesla e clones/ tecnologia, discussão em voga ao redor de 2006...] exatamente um ano depois para este novo post linkado a um filme brasileiro, hein?! ;)

[cacau's tip of the day by email-talk]:

“Isso não é um jogo, é algo dissuasivo. Quando as pessoas virem o sinal de que o Internet Eyes patrulha uma câmera, saberão que alguém estará assistindo”, disse à BBC Brasil o criador do site, Tony Morgan. “Atualmente, as pessoas ignoram as câmeras.”

RE:POSTED Our Surveillance Life [a Brazillian Report: Public Security and automobile]

Until 2014 [the Year of World Cup in Brasil and
two years before the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro],
according to a new national regulation [October 29th, 2009]
every car must install RFID* on it.

In Mexico it is already a reality:

"June 29, 2009 >> Comeinza registro público y con ello la colocación de etiquetas con chip de readiofrecuencia que permitiran tener mayor control de los movimientos en todo el país."

*RFID >> radio-frequency identity (or identification) is other method of security tagging, also used for location [like GPS, but with different accuracy & technologies]
