Eddie Vedder - Society
Eddie Vedder, egentligen Edward Louis Severson III, född 23 december 1964 i Evanston, Illinois, USA, är sångare, gitarrist och låtskrivare i Pearl Jam. Hans ovanliga röst har gjort att musikkritiker har klassat honom som en av de bästa sångare som uppkommit under 1990-talet.

James Watt's Workshop
When asked who the most influential British inventor ever was a lot of people will answer with a
single name – James Watt. After all, his steam condenser did, effectively, kick start the Industrial Revolution. When he died in 1819 his workshop near Birmingham (the one in the United Kingdom) was preserved and this legendary magical retreat became a magnet for pilgrims.
However, the house in which his attic study was situated became due for demolition ninety years ago. Fortunately the Science Museum stepped in and bought the workshop in its entirety – over 8,000 pieces. Now they have restored it and it has taken pride of place in the museum. It is hoped that a new generation of inventors will be inspired by his visions – of a machine that could copy sculptures and another that could copy letters as well as by the sheer ambience of his workplace.
The exhibition, Head Room, opened on March 23 (more details here) but you may not, however, be able to get to London any time soon. So, the Science Museum has enlisted the help of animator and artist Leo Bridle. Bridle was asked to take in the vast amount of artifacts left behind by Watt and to give an artist’s reaction to this amazing collection. This glorious animation is what he made of the 8430 objects that make up the new exhibition. Although you can see it in situ, the Science Museum has kindly released it on to the interweb so that those who cannot be there can enjoy the artist’s response to the inventor’s retreat.

The Danish Poet
I am thrilled to little pieces to be able to share The Danish Poet with you. Created in a 2006 this animated short film was written, directed, and animated by Torill Kove and narrated by Liv Ullmann.
This delightful animated film focuses on Kasper Jørgensen a sad and lonely Danish poet in the 1940s. His psychiatrist suggests that he travels on the ferry from Copenhagen to Norway to meet his favorite author, Sigrid Undset.
He agrees but gets waylaid by the Norwegian weather and takes refuge at a farm where he meets Ingeborg, the farmer’s daughter.
The two fall in love but fate gets in the way. How Kasper and Ingeborg finally get together is something, I think, for you to discover for yourself but (without spoiling any surprise) it is more than their own fates that are at stake here.
The Danish Poet is a co-production of the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) and
Mikrofilm AS
of Norway, it has won both the Academy Award (the Oscar!) and Genie Award for best animated short film in 2006.
Is it possible to trace the chain of events that led to our own birth? Is our existence just coincidence? Do little things matter?
In The Danish Poet the narrator ponders these question as we embark on a holiday to Norway with Kaspar, a poet whose creative well has run dry.
The Danish Poet received the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 2007!
