Free Ai Weiwei – Glasses

Famed activist Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has been reportedly detained by the Chinese government since April 3, 2011, which has subsequently sparked a global outcry and a massive Free Ai Weiwei campaign.

Weiwei is a renowned artist, photographer, and sculptor well known for his collaboration in the design of the Birdnest Beijing National Stadium for the Olympics as well a vast body of subtle yet politically charged artworks.

There is a massive amount of information available at Free Ai Weiwei as well you can download these Free Ai Weiwei glasses HERE, based off his series “Study in Perspective” of his outstretched arm giving the defiant middle finger to political or cultural centers.

ArtJetSet would like to collaborate with Sameer on developing an app that tracks him through the best art openings in the city. I seem to have bumped into Sameer at nearly every art event I’ve been to in the past few months…. it’s foursquare without the GPS.

Here at the Artforum Independent Party in front of the giant inflatable union workers rat, I promised a dedicated post to a dedicated vernissage connoisseur.

Polaroid – The Impossible Project

7 Aug

Polaroid is transforming itself from an analog Instant Film Production Company to a global Consumer Electronics and Digital Imaging company.

Production of analog Instant Film stopped in June 2008, closing the factories in Mexico (Instant Packfilm production) and the Netherlands (Instant Integral production).

Impossible b.v. has been founded with the concrete aim to re-invent and re-start production of analog INTEGRAL FILM for vintage Polaroid cameras.

Therefore Impossible b.v. has acquired the complete film production equipment in Enschede (NL) from Polaroid, has signed a 10-year lease agreement on the factory building; and has engaged the most experienced team of Integral Film experts worldwide.

The Impossible mission is NOT to re-build Polaroid Integral film but (with the help of strategic partners) to develop a new product with new characteristics, consisting of new optimised components, produced with a streamlined modern setup. An innovative and fresh analog material, sold under a new brand name that perfectly will match the global re-positioning of Integral Films.
