An interactive film/music video by Chris Milk: Featuring “We Used To Wait” by Arcade Fire
This site was designed with Google Chrome in mind and is built in HTML5. It utilises Google street view and merges the street where you used to live with an Arcade Fire music video. Reminds me of arty websites 15 years ago with the little popup windows. Pretty damn cool.

They weren't in love but that didn't really matter
Ever wanted to live a dog’s life? Husband and wife artist duo Gillie and Marc Schattner hope to bring out the animal in all of us at their new solo exhibition Returning to the Animal Within, on show from 7 – 21st October at the Nexus Modern Art Gallery in Melbourne.
This new exhibition presents over 20 paintings and fibreglass sculptures encouraging audiences to rediscover the simple things in life through the humanised perspective of a dog. Gillie and Marc suggest we start thinking like a dog, switch off our Twitter feed, have a roll in the grass, or have sex with someone we like, and honour the spirit of the dog to show us a better way of being human.
