thesixtyone (t61) is a streaming media website founded by James Miao and Samuel Hsiung in 2008. Since then it has received further funding and lots more support. Initially, the site design wasn’t unlike other streaming media sites and online playlist makers. They recently unveiled the new and improved t61, which completely changed my impression of the service. It has turned into this digg + slideshow for independent bands and musicians with a clean minimal design.

For those who’ve missed it Liu Jiayin’s Oxhide (2005) has been claimed to be one of the most important Chinese films of the past decade.

Still a film school student, Jiayin was 23 when she made it and last year Oxhide II was presented. She has received several awards for the movies including including the Fipresci Prize at the 55th Berlin International Film Festival for the first one. The films feature herself, her mother and her father playing their respective characters as we follow a piece of time in the middle-class life of a Chinese family through a small number of shots with no camera movements whatsoever. Both stories are being played out in their actual apartment in Beijing. Above a clip from the first scene of Oxhide.

Memento Mori from Mothership on Vimeo.
Despite having worked on older projects including the music video for “Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley (with director Robert Hales), Mothership has only recently established themselves as an official transmedia studio representing sunny Venice, California. The young collective has hit the ground running partly due to its affiliation to the Academy Award-winning powerhouse Digital Domain, whose visual sorcery you may have experienced in films such as Titanic and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Through their work, Executive Creative Director Alejandro Lopez says Mothership will demonstrate how “transmedia offers brands the opportunity to integrate directly with entertainment properties instead of standing alongside them.”

A well decorated short-term living space is provided without charge for creators of any kind with a good enough motivation. Creators Inn was founded on the initiative of Swedish clothing brand Elvine and has so far hosted creatives in Gothenburg and Stockholm in spaces a notch more comfortable than the otherwise commonly used sofa-of-a-friend solution.
