A friend sent me a link to this website, which chronicles the building of a real-life, low environmental impact house in Wales. Built by Simon Dale and his father-in-law, "with help from passers-by and visiting friends," the home cost the equivalent of about $4,500 - $5,000 to build.
I was job searching a while back (yet again) and came across a very curious posting about a position at the Internet Archive, which in itself is worthy of a surfing meander.
On the archive site I found an entry on Miga, based in Granada, Spain, which describes itself as "a group of audiovisual creators formed in 2004" whose "purpose is to show on the net the more advanced proposals from the actual south of Europe scene. [...] Any kind of artistic performance is inside Miga. Dj´s, Vj´s, Live Acts, net art, graphic design, experimental video, photography and all electro acoustic media is part of it, coming together to develop, feed & expand different ideas and projects."
In addition to many downloadable audio and video files on their site (Miga is also a "net label" of experimental music and video/animation), I found this captivating video of a live multimedia "attack" on the Alhambra, (a beautiful, historical castle-like complex of Moorish architecture), which took place in December 2006.
Makes me want to get together a merry band of guerrilla artists (perhaps fellow Intermedians?), pack up the projectors and some kind of sound system and find a building in SF. Anybody interested...? :)
