LIST OF CONTENT/ISSUE#1.0 |
| The Brigata Red Issue: Red is the muse, and the challenge is to move beyond flirtation to the discovery its concealed, raw and manifest power - through art, every-day life, people, the environment, technology and nature. BI issues are always in process and moving. This means new content will be added along the way and you should come back to see more. This also means that we want you to participate -- we want to collaborate with you. When it feels like the issues is complete, we'll move onto the next one. And then we start again. The Brigata Red Issue is curated by: Robin Bates + Anna Arbuckle |

| -- | W01_Red Like Me Indulging in the global fascination of red hair led us to organize a series of photographs of natural red heads. The challenge was to reach beyond what sets them apart, to find out how red has shaped their experiences as people. We have tried to depict them with simplicity and rawness; to give a nod to their life with this pigmentation. Part I are the photographs of our willing subjects; Part II are the interviews about what it means to live with red hair, to have a red soul. |
| -- | W02_R3D An exploration about the subtleties of the color and people's passions about it: we are comparing twelve favorite red's of well known designers to a continuously shifting hue chosen by ongoing plebiscite. R3D is an open-source project. |
| -- | W03_Untitled A photo piece about fast cars, the Autobahn, getting there, staying within the lines, perception from within, some animals, double standards and not the least about us and how we move through this world and who we run over in the process. |
| -- | W04_SHAKEDOWN A motion study monitoring the behaviors of citizen/passengers during a daily routine of commuting home from work. All images were shot as digital stills, then reviewed, optimized and imported into a streaming flash movie. |
| -- | W05_ProtoScreen Just one of our quick text/design improvisations. If I wanted to get fancy, I could say it was inspired by my interest in the long tradition of cut-ups (dada detournement through oulipo), but it's really just something that started when I was bored in a marketing meeting at my day job. The tactical, interchangeable, almost military doublespeak going on in the offices of America is remarkable and remarkably funny, no? |
| -- | W06_R_DISM Berlin: old Hauptstadt and new Hauptstadt of Germany. Berlin is where the remains of the socialist past have been almost seamlessly integrated into new west-German every day life. Ironically, it is the former Ost part of town where hip has a new face... In a way the thoughts and humanist philosophies of the young Karl Marx have outlived the social model which was built upon them. |
| -- | R01_Seeing Red The psychology of color has nothing to do with how we think about race. It does, however, have everything to do with opening our minds to look at the world in a new and hued way. Margaret Miele, an Assistant Professor of Psychology at FIT who specializes in the Consumer, Industrial and Research aspects of Color, shines some light on how the color red works on our brains, our emotions, our culture, on why red lipstick is so hot and why when we feel something strongly, we feel it in red. |
| -- | R02_The Process of Red The process of putting together the Red issue starts in places less obvious. |
| -- | F01_Mario Botta F02_Louis Kahn This series takes a closer look at a non-webbed design. In this issue "Folders" investigates two modern masters who are proficient with brick, the timeless red architectural favorite. |
