The dirty future

Sports-Dome-1

With the exception of Children of Men, Blade Runner and Brazil (OK, I know there are a few more out there), there is a strangely clinical feel to future spaces. So I was thrilled when I encountered today this wonderful futuristic sports arena in Rome, Palazzetto dello sport by Pier Luigi Nervi, built for the 1960 Olympics. It’s all weathered and beaten by the elements. If I were to make a sci-fi, this is how my future would look!

Merchants of Culture CDROM

Now available, Antonio's health and media literacy CDROM curriculum for youth of color, Merchants of Culture. This valuable resource contains dozens of video and print examples of how advertisers market harmful substances such as alcohol and tobacco to various niche audiences, including Native Americans, Latinos, African Americans, Asians, GLBT and Women. This is an excellent primer for introducing the subject of cultural marketing to high school and middle school students. This is also a great product for health professionals and councilors working in the area of prevention.
