Benetton UNHate Campaign

With its new worldwide communication campaign United Colors of Benetton invites the leaders and citizens of the world to combat the “culture of hatred” and creates the UNHATE Foundation. The UNHATE communication project includes a series of coordinated initiatives and events, starting on 16 November in the main newspapers, periodicals and websites around the world. The central theme is the kiss, the most universal symbol of love, between world political and religious leaders, such as: Barack Obama and Chinese leader Hu Jintao; Pope Benedict XVI and Ahmed Mohamed el-Tayeb, Imam of the Al-Azhar mosque in Cairo (the most important and moderate centre for Sunni Islamic studies in the world); the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas and the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. These are symbolic images of reconciliation – with a touch of ironic hope and constructive provocation – to stimulate reflection on how politics, faith and ideas, even when they are divergent and mutually opposed, must still lead to dialogue and mediation.



The official film of the Unhate worldwide communication campaign launched in Paris on November 16th and presented by Alessandro Benetton.

BRUSSELS IS BURNING SUPPORTS "COURT MAIS TRASH GOES TO LIEGE!"

After rockin' Brussels for 7 years, Courts Mais Trash proudly goes to Liege. The rendezvous for independant and off-the-chart short movies takes its quarter at the Zone, the most rock'n'roll place of the city. After reviewing the hundreds of movies we've screened throughout the years, we've selected only the creme de la creme for this very special edition.
Assembled under the theme "It's fantastic", the program will go from horror to sci-fi, from bloody hallucinations to trashy fairy tales. And we'll even show some "100% made in Liege" movies.

Among others :  « Le soulier était trop petit » by Catherine Aïra, the queer « Stuffed from outer space » by Peg, « I Am So Sorry » by Michael Jacquet. The bloody « L’accouchement de Wendy » by Dewis Eizykman, « Bomb Disaster » by Pierre Teulières, « La mauvaise erreur » by Xavier Hibon…

"COURT MAIS TRASH GOES TO LIEGE!"
Friday 18/ 11/ 11 - La Zone - Quai de l’Ourthe N°42 - 4020 Liège

20 Hz by Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt.

20 Hz observes a geo-magnetic storm occurring in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Working with data collected from the CARISMA radio array and interpreted as audio, we hear tweeting and rumbles caused by incoming solar wind, captured at the frequency of 20 Hertz. Generated directly by the sound, tangible and sculptural forms emerge suggestive of scientific visualisations. As different frequencies interact both visually and aurally, complex patterns emerge to create interference phenomena that probe the limits of our perception.

BELGIANS DO IT BETTER… RADIO SOULWAX RELEASES NEW BEAT

There was a brief period between 1987 and 1989 where Belgium, of all places, was pushing the envelope in electronic music. It preceded England's 'second summer of love' and was probably our equivalent of it, in that a whole generation's lives quite rapidly became based around taking ecstasy, dressing up, going clubbing and dancing to an odd, slowed down hypnotic mix of New Wave, Acid, EBM and everything else that sounded good. 



New Beat became a real craze that would attract thousands of ravers from all over Europe to Belgium's newly thriving club scene every weekend and inspired hundreds of releases that stormed the Belgian charts, regardless of it being completely ignored by the media and radio because it was not seen as "real" music. It was counterculture of the cheapest kind and due to its massive success, it quickly became very cheesy and novelty based, but there was an amazing side to New Beat that was dark and messed up and this mix is based on those releases, with a few hits thrown in for good measure.

V Magazine #74 Winter 2012 - by Terry Richardson

Candice Swanepoel and Joan Smalls, Bambi Northwood-Blyth and Lindsey Wixson, Sui He and Hanaa Ben Abdesslem, and Daphne Groeneveld and Saskia de Brauw photographed by Terry Richardson and styled by Carine Roitfeld for V Magazine #74 Winter 2012- The Model Issue.

“It’s a big moment of change in fashion,” Roitfeld says. “In some cases, you feel like it’s the end of an era. I have been feeling this with cover subjects, and especially models. These eight girls are unique, not one is like the other: Candice is the only blonde and blue-eyed of this new generation of supermodels. Joan is black, Sui He is Asian, Hanaa is North African. It’s their diversity that makes each of them, to me, truly modern. They bring a new energy to fashion.”
