From 1987, an ad for Harp lager.

Originally brewed in Dundalk (now centralised to St James’ Gate), Harp was briefly marketed as the perfect post-workout pick me up.

It replaced lost energy.

With liver damage and an unpleasant aftertaste.

Since 2006, artist Joe Magrum has been touring US cities and taking to the street with sacks of coloured sand which he sprinkles by hand to create huge temporary spiral artworks.

Each one takes up to 8 hours to complete and he estimates he’s created over 550 in the last few years. Magrum, who also paints, has exhibited in various high profile galleries and appeared on Sesame Street.

Of this Google Glitchview short, film editor and graphic designer Charlie Behrens sez:

This short film is intended to encourage a creative audience to seek out Kevin Slavin’s talk Those Algorithms Which Govern Our Lives. It employs an effect which takes place in Google Earth when its 3D street photography and 2D satellite imagery don’t register correctly. This glitch is applied as a metaphor for the way that our 21st century supercities are physically changing to suit the needs of computer algorithms rather than human employees.
