Over at the Slate.com they have an awesome article about design and international signage, in particular a growing “battle” concerning the emergency exit sign and the two prominent and seemingly opposite design strategies (even in something as basic as color). The article is definitely worth a read, especially if you make sure to click through to all of the awesome examples it references.

This article is also part of a larger series on signage, that is also worth a thorough checking out.

This is all over the interweboblogosphere, but I am such a big performance art fanboy that I have to post it here as well. You can watch Marina Abramvic’s latest performance work LIVE from anywhere in the world. The performance is part of a large retrospective exhibit of her work at MOMA.

UPDATE (3/29/10):

An artist named Anya Liftig, used this performance as a venue for her own performance. It seems slightly antagonistic at first, but based on the interview this is really an extreme case of “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” Very nice addition to the dialogue!
