The festival presents a broad spectrum of
exhibitions and events that address this year's theme, "The View of
the Other". It highlights, from
various perspectives, a variety of thematic and medial aspects: topics
such as the construction of identity, exoticisation, colonialism,
voyeurism, reflections on the familiar and the alien and much more.

Ikea is is turning to
3-D graphics, instead of photography, to help sell furniture and household
goods in its current catalog. Can you tell the difference?
Top image = 3D graphic render; Middle image = 3D Graphic render; Bottom image = photograph.
The Wall Street Journal reports that IKEA is slowly moving away from using photography in its catalogs in favor of CGI for its online and print publications.

Video projected on the
wall, various crowns fall one after the other and explode upon reaching the
ground, where a pile of marble rubble has accumulated. Two speakers are placed
up high, diffusing repetitious electronic music, while two other speakers, hidden
under the mound of stones, emit crashing booms and the exclamations of a crowd.
