Blogs and newsletters on their way back? And Red Hand by Nick Cave- what a blog!
The past couple of years we have heard that a blog was something of 2000’s. The rise of Youtube and more recently, the popularity of podcasts, were supposedly make blogs a thing of the past.
But the debatable recommendation and influencing practices of Youtube, and other advertisement-backed social media drive people away from these platforms. At the same time there is a increasing number of people being driven away from tradiditional media, finding the “breaking news” tactics distracting and misguiding.
As a replacement for these, the blog seems on it’s way back, as is the newsletter (via email!) informing the readers of blog updates. Blogs are not found through google searches or Facebook recommendations, but through recommendations by real people. Thus providing a source of manually curated web content by like-minded people.
One of these treasures I found today is Nick Cave’s Red Hand Files blog.

Kim Gordon – No Icon
Kim Gordon published a wonderful “artist’s scrapbook” called No Icon. As a somewhat shy artist she hesitated to create a book about herself, but it has become a beautiful authentic document.

Ed Ruscha’s Sunset Strip interactive
You probably know Ed Ruscha’s Sunset project, where he photographed all the houses along Hollywood’s Sunset Strip. He published this project in the book simply called Every Building on the Sunset Strip.
Getty has created a beautiful website – a piece of art on itself – that allows you to explore the project.
