In theory, individuals should have the same rights online as they do in the physical world. But in practice, this is uncharted legal territory. Perhaps the most contentious area is free-speech law. “Your First Amendment rights exist in a digital space, just as much as they exist in the real world,” says Lata Nott, the executive director of the First Amendment Center of the Freedom Forum Institute, in a new animated video. Nott goes on to explain how a group of Twitter users who were blocked by President Donald Trump’s official Twitter account took this idea to the courts—and won. This video is part of The Speech Wars, a project of The Atlantic, and is supported by the Charles Koch Foundation, the Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press, and the Fetzer Institute.

From all directions gravity pulls on the shards of a breaking dinner plate. While the pieces of the plate expand into space, elastic strings try to draw them back together. A self-replicating cycle of falling and retracting follows from the dead center position of each piece. Even though this expansion of matter appears to be never ending, the new connections seem to unify all the fragments into a recollection of the initial form. More info: http://bit.ly/2L2KLap

Fred Frugen and Vince Reffet, the two faces of a super-famous team, achieve exploits in flight that defy the imagination. In this interview with both of them, they firstly explain the extreme aspect of base jumping, before revealing two quite different personalities. But as soon as they talk about their relationship, we discover a sense of total fusion: synchronicity, trust, commitment, fun and danger… In the Soul Flyers duo, everything brings them together.

Baloji – ZOMBIES (Official Short film) The film “Zombie” is a journey between hope and dystopia in a hallucinated Kinhsasa, from the culture of the hair salon to futuristic solitary clubbing, from the urban parade to the glory of a dictator in campaign (Papa Bollo) to modern western in the Takeshi Kitano style. In parallel, the film is based on the almost carnal relationship we have with our phones. The device becoming like an outgrowth of the hand and giving us the talent of digital ubiquity… Le film Zombie est une traversée entre espoir et dystopie dans un Kinhsasa hallucinée passant de la culture du salon de coiffure, le clubbing futuriste en solitaire, la parade urbaine à la gloire d’un dictateur en campagne (Papa Bollo) et le western moderne à la takeshi Kitano. En parallèle, le film repose sur le rapport presque charnel que l’on entretien avec nos téléphones. L’appareil devenant comme une excroissance de la main et nous donnant le don d’ubiquité… +++ written, directed and produced by baloji with Popaul Amisi & Gaëlle KIBIKONDA / DOP : Joachim Philippe / art director : Baloji with Kongo Astraunaut & Guarino Suarez Piedra / Costume Baloji / sound : Cedric Mbomgo / Edited : Bruno Tracq / script : Baloji Production : Baloji BBL production, 2 for the show production and Pieter van Huystee PVH Film Type de film: Expérimental music video / durée: 13’58’’ / Shooting support: Alexa MINI process: / Image aspect: 1.33Image / resolution: HD / Speed: 25 fps / Sound: Stereo

Since witnessing the insane celebrations of Holi inside Banke Bihari Temple in Vrindavan, I knew that these celebrations deserved their own little film. Hours before the temple doors open, thousands upon thousands of devotees gather to take part in the 20 minute flower and colour throwing celebration of Phoolon Wali Holi. As the doors open, an unstoppable surge begins as the crowd funnels inside and the chanting and applause becomes thunderous. Many people carry offerings which they will bring to the front of the temple to devote to the deities, others pray as they enter through stone archways. For me, however, the most intense part comes when the entire temple unites in raising their hands, and yelling in unison as colours and flowers surround them.
