Kostas Seremetis “TRILOGY” Film
I’M VERY INTERESTED TO SEE HOW THIS COMES OUT Kostas Seremetis presents his latest works in the format of a film entitled “Trilogy” being shown on March 7th in Morocco. The New Order Issue 3 cover star has brought his unique take on Pop Art to the big screen, and we can’t wait to see what else he has in store for us. The Cinematheque de Tanger is proud to present a Master Class with participating New York artist, Kostas Seremetis presenting his film “Trilogy”. March 7th 2010 19:30 “TRILOGY” 2009 / 126 mins / by Kostas Seremetis A moving visual and aural collage consisting of the Star Wars Trilogy, artist Kostas Seremetis edited this 126 minute film, taking the right third of Star Wars, the middle third of Empire Strikes Back and the left third of Return of the Jedi, synchronizing them to dissonant effect. Every frame is a study in Abstract Expressionist Pop art as this moving collage of the most iconic films of our time moves to the sounds of the three films playing simultaneously. Characters move in and out of portions of the screen, ships and battles appear and disappear melding into one part of the screen from another part while the third portion of the screen portrays a crucial moment of discovery in a character’s development. This invitation-only screening will be preceded by an introduction by the artist and followed by a discussion of the film. Stay tuned for coverage and more info on when the film can be seen by the public.

Aston Martin Rapide Watch Key
THIS IS ILL, STRAIGHT JAMES BOND SHIT No more fumbling around looking for car keys or lugging chunky and unattractive key fobs around for owners of the new Aston Martin Rapide as Jaeger-LeCoultre has partnered with the car-maker to come out with this stylish AMVOX2 Transponder Rapide, a timepiece that does double-duty as a car key. Simply touch between the 8 and 9 to unlock, between the 3 and 4 to lock, or touch them both simultaneously to trigger the ‘find me’ feature where the headlamps light up for easy spotting. The AMVOX2 Transponder Rapide is the result of over 18 months of research and engineering to miniaturize the car’s transponder key in order to fit it into and around the workings of a timepiece without sacrificing style, and it can be yours for just £21,850 (or about $33,800).
Sony Alpha DSLR
GOTTA GET ONE, THESE SHITS GONNA BE TUFF It might still be in the concept stage, but that doesn’t mean we can’t dream about having a Sony Compact Alpha DSLR ($TBA) in our bag or pocket. Powered an Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor, these compact concepts also offer interchangeable lenses, DSLR-level controls, and full AVCHD video capability for high-quality HD video capture. Expect a fairly hefty price tag if/when these become available.

2011 Land Rover LRX to Debut at Paris Motor Show
MAN THIS SHIT LOOK STOOOPID !!!!!!!!!! Is the world ready for a kinder, gentler Sport Utility Vehicle? Land Rover is betting on it, and the rugged British off-road brand will reportedly debut its hotly anticipated LRX at the Paris Motor Show later this year. Shortly thereafter, the production LRX will make its North American debut in LA. According to Automotive News, the LRX will go on sale in the third quarter of 2011. We first saw the LRX Concept at the 2008 edition of the Detroit Auto Show, where it was generally well received by both the press and the showgoing public. The LRX is expected to be Land Rover’s most efficient model and is likely to be offered with some sort of hybrid powertrain. Late last year, Autocar reported that Land Rover’s first hybrid drivetrain would include a 3.0-liter diesel V6 engine mated up to a 25kW electric motor. The system would be a full parallel hybrid, meaning it could operate on any combination of gasoline or electricity using its onboard lithium ion battery pack.
Samsung TL500
NEW PIECE TO CHECK OUT Perhaps designed to be a Canon S90 killer, the Samsung TL500 ($450) is the latest point-and-shoot to adopt several DSLR-level features. Among these are a 24mm, 3x optical zoom, f/1.8 Schneider lens, Aperture priority, Shutter priority, and Manual shooting modes, dual image stabilization, RAW support, a 10 megapixel, 1/1.7-inch CCD, and a front control wheel. Unfortunately video shooting is limited to 640×480, but the gorgeous, swiveling 3-inch AMOLED LCD should more than make up for it.
