Gravitas Ventures debuted this full trailer for the space sci-fi The Beyond. “Set in 2019, The Beyond chronicles the groundbreaking mission which sent astronauts – modified with advanced robotics, through a newly discovered wormhole known as the Void. When the mission returns unexpectedly, the space agency races to discover what the astronauts encountered on their first of its kind interstellar space journey. The Beyond is an original sci-fi project written and directed by sci-fi filmmaker Hasraf “HaZ” Dulull (check out his Vimeo page), who started out with VFX work and short films, and directed his first feature film Origin Unknown, which is still awaiting release. According to THR, HaZ hopes “to do to sci-fi what Blumhouse did for horror.” He wrote, directed, edited, produced and did the VFX to pull off The Beyond with a minimal budget. It is loosely based on his 2014 short Project Kronos. HaZ’s The Beyond will be released direct-to-VOD on January 9th, 2018 at the beginning of next year.”..(Read…)

It’s 2017. Desktops are pretty much dead. Laptop sales are slowing down incredibly, and tablet sales have seen quite a slump too. What has gained traction however is the idea of a smart home and all the products around it. Designer Michio Papers created a bridge between the two faces of the tech industry to revive the laptop and the tablet while giving them the makeover they needed. The Google Link is everything you, your workspace, and your home needs. Made of multiple separate gadgets that come together, the Google Link serves all purposes. When assembled together, it’s your dedicated smart-home device capable of connecting via the internet to all other IoT gadgets in your house. Separate it and things get really interesting. You have a speaker dock that makes the Google Link your very own AI Assistant while being a wireless speaker too. What you also have is a very capable 2-in-1 laptop/tablet that you can carry around to work. A lower keyboard component allows you to slide an upper tablet component in to get the full Chromebook experience. The tablet on top can be used independently too, and comes with an inbuilt trackpad and stylus that you can slide out and use at work. Come back and you can snap all the components back together and you’ve got the Link giving you the best Google-aided smart-home experience you could ask for!

Dans son travail, Namsa Leuba explore la façon dont l’identité africaine est perçue par le monde occidental. Ses séries photographiques sont toujours mises en scène soigneusement et de manière théâtrale autour des symboles culturels de son héritage qu’elle réinterprète au travers de la mode et du stylisme. Khoisan est une exploration de la tribu africaine du même nom. En vêtissant les modèles de peaux et de masques, elle fait ainsi référence à leurs pratiques traditionnelles telles que la chasse.

Tim Flach est connu pour son livre More Than Human qui réunit des portraits animaliers époustouflants de diverses espèces. Le photographe revient avec une nouvelle série photographique intitulée Endangered (publiée par Abrams avec le texte du zoologiste Jonathan Baillie) qui présente des animaux en voie d’extinction. Après avoir voyagé autour du globe, Flach a pu constituer une collection de clichés remarquables d’animaux et d’écosystèmes face à des conditions très difficiles. Chaque animal est répertorié dans l’une des catégories de la liste rouge de l’UICN (Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature) : espèce vulnérable, en danger ou en danger critique.
