After a friend’s phone was stolen in Brazil and pictures wrongfully published on an abusing manner on Facebook, a group of friends got together in solidary protest against hypocrisy and the impotence against abusive exposure. Because body is art and love is friendship. 

This was the best showcase of love on Valentine’s day. 

First video of The Revolution Road, recording a trip from Istambul to Lisbon via Revolution. 

Transmedia series Road to Revolution will follow three Portuguese journalists, Tiago Carrasco, Joầo Henriques and Joầo Fontes, as they embark on a journey through the Mahgreb and Middle Eastern region following the path of a revolution, latterly known as the Arab Spring, which has swept across that part of the world.

The team will travel more than 9000 miles by land and sea across 10 countries – Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco – to find out more about the lifestyle, culture and beliefs of the local people and learn about the causes of discontentment that led to ethnic and religious conflicts. The documentary looks to compare revolutions in the Arab world with uprisings in the West, from the counterculture movement of the 1960s through to the Occupy protest movement currently taking root in cities across the US and Europe.

Produced by beActive with the support of Portuguese weekly Sol and retail chain Sportzone, Road to Revolution will initially consist of a series of online video blogs posted on an official website as well as Sol’s site. Two video blogs will be uploaded every week over 10 to 12 weeks starting at the end of January. Further updates will be made available in real time on Facebook and Twitter. beActive will then edit the blogs into a feature-length documentary, which will be available for film release and television broadcast by the end of the year.

Beautiful Kickstarter project: Love Ever After 

Love Ever After will share the love stories of couples who have been married for at least 50 years. Inspired by a letter my grandfather wrote to my grandmother during World War II (and rediscovered after he passed away in 2007), I began photographing and interviewing couples in the New York area as a way to preserve their stories and to illuminate our universal experience of love. 

Back this project

this is really impressive.. may 2012 be calmer

Within minutes of the site (Megaupload) being shut down, and DOJ releasing its statement, Anonymous sprang into action and started taking down a ton of sites — including websites for the DOJ, the US Copyright Office, Universal Music, the RIAA, the MPAA and a bunch of other sites.

Anonymous launches largest attack ever, crippling government and music industry sites. Hacktivists with the collective Anonymous are waging an attack on the website for the White House after successfully breaking the sites for the Department of Justice, Universal Music Group, RIAA and Motion Picture Association of America.

Many members of Congress have just changed their stance on the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, the raid on Megaupload Thursday proved that the feds don’t need SOPA or its sister legislation, PIPA, in order to pose a blow to the Web.

WW3 IS DIGITAL!!!! 

Tomorrow, January 18th, 2012, will be the largest internet protest in history. Thousands of sites across the internet, including some of the biggest in the world, will be blacking out and directing people to contact Congress to kill the web censorship bill, SOPA and PIPA. Get involved.
