Workplace is a documentary made by Gary Hustwit, in association with R/GA, for the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale.Workplace is about the past, present, and future of the office. It looks at the thinking, innovation, and experimentation involved in trying to create the next evolution of what the office could be. The film follows the design and construction of the New York headquarters of digital agency R/GA (in collaboration with architects Foster + Partners) who have been experimenting with how physical and digital space can better interact. Digital technology has radically changed how and where most of us work, but the physical spaces we work in haven’t kept up with that transformation.
Not too long ago... at a race circuit just around the corner... ... And so we come to the greatest DVD of our time. It's called "Bagpuss: The Director's cut" and has nothing at all to do with the DVD we're giving away here. No, this is a far shoddier affair featuring, as it does, a documentary, or - if you will - a mockumentary. Revealing how the staff of Superbike manages to cobble together the best sports bike magazine in the world every month. It's all here - the road tests, the track action, the long-termer bike tests, the centerfold shoots, big Al's baking tips, well, maybe not those but we'll talk about everything else. Citizen Kane? Battleship Potemkin? Dude, where's my car? They are all unquestionably far, better, films than this - but do they feature some of the finest motorcycles ever built? No, they do not. This DVD will fill in the gaps so disappointingly evident in the works of Messers Wells, Einstein, and Leiner.
