Hey, how's your baby doin'? What kind of music is it listening to? Kidz Bop? The Wiggles? Fuckin' Raffi and shit? Well, that might be fine for some people's kids—if they want them to crawl through life without taste or musical development. If you really loved your baby, you'd be dropping $200 to send it to Baby DJ School.
The school was started up in September by Natalie Elizabeth Weiss, a composer and DJ from Brooklyn who has shared the stage with LCD Soundsystem and the Dirty Projectors and was recently a fellow with the Brooklyn Philharmonic. She's willing to teach tykes as young as three months old about "the wonderful worlds of electro, hip-hop, and house," according to her press release, which also promises that "little ones will be introduced to playing and handling records, mixing and matching beats, and creating fun and funky samples using modern DJ equipment." While the idea of babies droppin' beats underscores just how easy DJs' "jobs" are, it's also a great way to introduce kids to creating music—after all, your baby probably can't play the piano, but it can produce some noise using a MIDI trigger. If the trial class in mid-September, which was well received by babies and parents alike, is any indication, it looks like Natalie's project is going to be a roaring success. Soon, your non-DJ children will be ostracized by their terrifying, laptop-wielding peers, and eventually all music will be made for and by toddlers. I, for one, welcome this development and recently asked Natalie for some tips on how babies could hone their DJ skills. Here's what she said: • "The most important thing about being a DJ is being a selector. If you don't match one beat, if you don't run it through one effect, if you don't drop one well-placed air horn, but you have cool tracks, that's all you need." She encouraged parents of baby DJs to "have them be active listeners when they're selectors," and offers instructional directions like, "Wow, do you hear that bubbly texture? I feel bubbles in my arms. Do you hear the bubbles? Where are the bubbles in the song?" • "Having equipment that they can use easily" is also key. That means a laptop, a soundcard, and a MIDI trigger. • "Keep the drinks far away. When adults are having drinks you want to keep the laptop far away, and the same is true with babies. Those sippy cups always spill."

Never mind that The Ultimate Strip Club List website describes it as the place "where strippers go to die."
Natalia Leite and Alexandra Roxo go Gonzo as they pose as strippers and experience something that can be best described as a Marina Abramovic performance crossed with a bizarro episode of Wife Swap directed by David Lynch's daughters, set in the type of place where a one eyed guy who shot himself in the head dispenses meditation advice to two naked women.

InAiR turns your TV into a Minority Report-like experience, with layers of Web content, inline with the programs you're watching. What is InAiR?
InAiR brings you the world's first Augmented TV experience With InAir plugged in, your TV becomes an Augmented Television. You can turn any ordinary television into a new and wonderful medium, filled with rich and dynamic information from the Web. InAiR uses your TV screen and layers in additional content from the Web and social media. InAir works with any standard television. And InAir works with any 3D TV. When activated in 3D mode, the layers of Internet content appear to be positioned in front of the screen and can be dynamically manipulated by the viewer. These foreground layers of information appear to be holograms, and floating "in air" (and this is where our name came from). The following video can be watched from a 3D screen in side-by-side mode and you be able to experience the InAiR interface floating in front of the screen. Are you frequently using your laptop and television at the same time? Many of us are multi-tasking: watching TV, and at the same time surfing the Web for information, purchasing things online and communicating on social networks. By designing a centralized platform, InAiR creates a single viewing experience. We care a lot about quality. And we have high standards for creating a rich experience: smooth animation, layering, and clean simple graphics. Our interface is very simple to use, and is designed with gesture in mind, for touch gesture on smartphones and for hand gesture. |
