Yesterday I viewed this old video created probably when Douglas Coupland's book Generation-A appeared.

Coupland is lying on the sofa, and is interviewed by a female computer voice. The voice reminds me of the movie Her (which I started watching two times, but never managed to finish). The interview with Coupland is regularly interrupted for weird advertisements for Channel 3 (We Speak Your Language) and the drug SOLON CR (It's me time). I only vaguely remembered the SOLON CR reference from the book; all I am sure about is that the book is about bees going extinct. But the Internet tells me my memory is correct. SOLON CR is a medicine prescribed"for the short-term treatment of psychological unease grounded in obsession in thinking about the near and distant feature."

A few days ago I re-viewed the Vía PanAm project from Kadir van Lohuizen. The Dutch photographer documented a journey from the very south of South-America to the most northern point of the American continent, crossing 15 countries. The project of the trip of 40 weeks is a great piece of work. The images, the video and the texts work perfectly together.

I had the original iPad app on my iPad 1 (or so) but it does not seem to work on the newer versions of the iPad. Fortunately there is the Via PanAm in which the app is simulated.
