Street View of Google A.K.A. Big Brother

No matter what they say about privacy issues of street view, people in google are doing an amazing job that is not easy to explain. The rate of changes is so fast that it's hard to imagine how we were living few years ago.
However the whole idea of a corporation with all the public and private information of its increasing users including gmail, web search history, google+, Picasa, and this very blog is frightening.
p.s. I took this picture few days ago in Montreal, it seems that they are updating their photos

The Fly (1986)

It is good to look back at "The Fly" one of Cronenberg's great works before screening of his new movie " A Dangerous Method". "The Fly" is a Sci-Fi film co-written and directed by Cronenberg in 1986.

Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal




Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA)'s new pavilion, Claire and Marc Bourgie Pavilion of Quebec and Canadian Art, will be opened to public on Oct.14th.

The unveiling of David Altmejd's monumental bronze sculpture of an angel signals that the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is about to invite the public into the Bourgie Concert Hall and its new pavilion of Quebec and Canadian art.

Altmejd's The Eye, standing in front of a church that has been transformed into a concert hall, continues the artist's fascination with bodies in metamorphosis and is a fitting symbol for an art museum in its own great transformation.

The former Erskine and American Church, now a 444-seat concert hall with comfortable seating, is also a space for exhibiting 81 restored stained-glass windows, 20 of them made by the Tiffany company of New York.
