Carl Craig @ the Lotus on feb 26 th

2011-02-03T11:50:00.000-08:00

If you missed carl @ the Decibel festival in august he is play vancouver to promote 20 years of vision.

Carl Craig is described as a creative visionary, an electronic music icon, an esteemed Grammy-nominated composer, a world-class DJ and an ambassador for his native Detroit. Yet the common thread that runs through Craig’s broad musical canon and creative projects is a resounding fascination with futurism. The 41-year old producer has cultivated a unique path as an artist, entrepreneur and civic leader, guided by his tendency toward forward thinking.

“My livelihood is making music that I can perform, whether I’m doing orchestral production or modular strangeness or generating club music. I don’t restrict myself,” said Craig. “I defined myself by being who I am. The ultimate self respect is when you say you’re going to do something and you go and do it to the best of your ability.”

Nice Collective Mobile Supply Unit

2011-01-23T16:52:00.000-08:00

Pop-up shops are everywhere these days, here one minute and gone the next. Local label Nice Collective is taking it to the next conceptual level and altering vacant storefronts around town into Mobile Supply Units, all set up to be moved within a day. Their first MSU in this great experiment is just off Church & Market Streets.

"It's a crossroads of a lot of different neighborhoods," says Riley Johndonnell, Nice Collective's branding whiz and former publisher and creative director of Surface Magazine. "This was great because no one's really forged themselves in fashion down here. There's skate punks, designers, a mix of all the characters we love."

the BC pre-event of burning Man

Burn in the Forest 2010 – July 16th to 18th:

The Greater Vancouver Interactive Arts Society’s (GVIAS) summer event happens in the forest along the Squamish Valley river surrounded by mountains. This year, as in the past, we will build a temporary community over an extended weekend. Together we create a village and gift each other in many ways that express our creativity and play. Our community is built on the participation of it’s members from the simple exchange of food, stories, or a lending hand, to the elaborate construction of an interactive art project. We support the diversity and experimentation of experience and ideas. We will strengthen existing friendships and build new ones, rewarding each other in special ways. We are self-sufficient and leave no trace except in our memories.

Nice Bottle in a boat ??

2010-03-22T23:58:00.001-07:00

You know those twenty-two billion or so water bottles that we trash every year? Well, British environmentalist and explorer David de Rothschild is putting some of them to use. For his latest project, Plastiki, he constructed a boat made of discarded plastic containters which will be sailing from San Francisco to Australia. He snagged Joe Haller and Ian Hannula, the tastemakers and designers from Nice Collective, to help out with the interior and other details. "We realized right away we had this kindred passion," Haller explains. "So David brought us on as sort of 'Lifestyle Designers.' " Their vision was to keep thing sorts of home-y but utilitarian, so they took old military tents and blankets and turned them into sweaters, pillows, and other items for the crew—in short, repurposing and reinventing the same way de Rothschild always has. The big reveal is on Friday, but here's a sneak peek at what the duo has been working on. And check out ThePlastiki.com for more info on the expedition.
