Mass Suicide Threats at Xbox 360 Plant (Foxconn)

E’ giunto il momento per chiedere un cambiamento nelle politiche industriali dei colossi dell’elettronica. Ricordiamoci sempre che proprio attraverso le nostre scelte e i nostri consumi, tali politiche si possono modificare. Anche facendo girare un post si può fare molto, ma visto che sappiamo che è denaro a governare il mondo….

On Jan. 2, over 300 employees at a Foxconn plan in Wuhan, China threatened to throw themselves off a building in a mass suicide. Foxconn makes Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony products. These workers manufacture Xbox 360s. According to Chinese anti-government website China Jasmine Revolution (via Watch China Times), the workers were protesting denied compensation they were promised. On Jan. 2, the workers asked for a raise. Foxconn told them they could either keep their jobs with no pay increase or quit and get compensation. Most decided to quit with compensation. However, the agreement was supposedly terminated, and the workers never received their payments.

Website Record China reported that the uproar the incident actually caused Xbox 360 production to be temporarily suspended. The mayor of Wuhan intervened to talk down the group down, and on Jan. 3 at 9pm, the group of 300 decided not to jump, ending what could have been a deadly game of chicken. Suicides at Foxconn made major news in 2010 when over a dozen employees committed suicide, leading to Foxconn installing suicide prevention nets at some of its facilities. fonte Kotaku

Roger Doiron – Un orto sovversivo

Come coltivare una rivoluzione nel proprio cortile, perchè il cibo è alla base di tutto. Lo è la tanto vituperata agricoltura italiana. Lo diceva anche Adam Smith!

Come lo cucinano i giapponesi il pesce… meraviglia!

First: watch the video. Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori paints three-dimensional goldfish using a complex process of poured resin. The fish are painted meticulously, layer by layer, the sandwiched slices revealing slightly more about each creature, similar to the function of a 3D printer. I really enjoy the rich depth of the pieces and the optical illusion aspect, it’s such an odd process that results in something that’s both a painting and sculptural. Wonderful.

Fukahori just closed an exhibition at ICN Gallery in London titled Goldfish Salvation, and you can see many more images via the gallery’s Facebook, but probably the best resource is this set of photos by Dominic Alves. (via the awesomer)

Redesign Logo HP: una semplice ipotesi.

Per gli amanti della semplicità eccovi il caso studio del redesign del logo HP riprogettato da Moving Brands. Sebbene si tratti di una ipotesi di progetto, che l’azienda non vuole applicare, merita di essere pubblicata.

Meravigliosamente Nerdy…
