Coco La Coquette
Coco La Coquette is Elisa Rodrigo’s alter ego — a cute Spanish girl who doesn’t want to grow up so she can keep her innocent, childhood perspective. Influenced by street art and Japanese culture, this talented young designer works with photographic backgrounds which form the scenarios for the sweet and tender Coquettes. Her inspiration comes from enchanted wooden houses, old music boxes and used wallpapers. On the other hand, she also mixes in thoughts of rainbows, bubblegum machines and 8-bit music. If you ever want to meet the skinny, sad Coco, invite her around for some milk, sushi, or chocolate and then take her to the sea. You might just discover the subtle blend of death and charm that swirls around inside Elisa’s head.

The Take It Easy experience in Barcelona
Two months ago, a very special and unique place opened in Barcelona: TAKE IT EASY, an anti-stress space. Inspired by The Eagles song, Ramón Regada created a comfortable area in the district of L’Eixample in which people can unplug and take a short nap in hi-tech massage chairs. It is aimed at workers with only short time after lunch to take the famous siesta. And all for just five Euros. Regada asks each customer to write down a phrase or word after taking the nap and each week he selects one as a banner in the front window of the space. Read more
El Cosmonauta: the first participatory film in Spain
Cosmonaut is a feature film project by Riot Cinema Collective and the first participatory film in Spanish cinema to date. The project uses the Internet collaboratively under free Creative Commons licences and, with the help of viewers, aims to create alternative finance, creation and distribution platforms for independent films. By inviting viewers to be a part of the production process of the film and give them access to all content created, Cosmonaut intends to engage the audience and jointly develop a closer and more transparent relationship.

Unlike a lot of other web comic artists, the guys at Team Society League can actually draw well. They’re also freaking hilarious. Seriously, can you top pulling God’s finger?
Films involving characters faced with an impossible choice never make easy viewing, an example being the Nick Cave Australian gem, The Proposition. A nightclub manager, played with understated power by Joaquin Phoenix, is the victim here, and you actually feel truly uncomfortable as his predicament unfolds. Set in the 1980s, We Own The Night shows a real nostalgia for that period — particularly in the costumes. Read more
These heady times call for heady music, something spaced-out, trance-y, weird, and devilishly ecstatic to distract us from reality. Chicago’s Cave heeds this call for musical escapism, channeling Hawkwind, Kraftwerk, funk, and tribal frenzy into their mothership-beaconing groove.
