Ballard and Shanghai
2008-08-03 17:54:00 I am currently writing an article on Shanghai (or the transformation of Chinese cities from Communism to Post-Socialism) and while doing so I became aware of J.G. Ballard's intrinsic relationship with the city. I googled further and so the motivation for writing his "Empire of the Sun" unravelled.Enjoy this BBC documentary which I found on Youtube about the writers experience of returning to Shanghai, after having left the city in 1946.

Kingdom Come by J. G. Ballard
2008-04-28 08:28:00 Kingdom Come by J. G. Ballard is not a successful book. Richard Brown is an advertising executive who has been estranged from his father for some time. Whilst the son has been in sophisticated London, the father has lived in Brooklands, an M25 town whose occupants, though bored to the core, know what they like. Above all, they like consumerism and, because of that, they like their Metro-Centre, a vast shopping mall that people actually worship. They also despise the stuck up sophisticates who live in London. And so J. G. Ballard begins by constructing a model of contemporary British society, whose addiction to mass market products now borders on denying any alternative a right to exist, especially anything with intellectual content.But there has been a problem. An apparently random shooting in the Metro-Centre has left Richard Pearson’s father dead. Richard has thus arrived from the nearby metropolis that might as well be a different planet, to find out what has happened. He finds...

Video: Ballard sells auto fuel cell assets, CEO says fuel cell cars are not
2007-11-09 06:35:00 Ballard says they have finalized the rumored deal to sell their auto fuel cell unit, called Burnaby, which includes 113 employees (20 percent of the company's workforce). Ballard will sell the unit to Ford and Daimler for a swap of 34.3 million Ballard shares, worth $168 million and a new company will be formed. As we mentioned earlier today, the new auto fuel cell company will be owned 50.1 percent owned by Daimler, 30 percent by Ford and 19.9 percent by Ballard. Ford and Daimler will invest $60 million in the company with another $60 million investment from Ballard. In the video above, Ballard president and CEO John Sheridan talks about shifting Ballard's focus from fuel cell for cars to back-up electricity systems, residential co-generation power supply and forklifts. Sheridan says fuel cells for cars are far out in the future and will cost a lot. In the video John is asked "does this mean the fuel cell vehicle dream is over?" John says "no, not at all. The fuel cell dream is v...

Ford Fusion Hydrogen 999 breaks 200 miles-per-hour
2007-08-17 01:40:00 Filed under: Transportation Looks like minuscule RC cars aren't the only alternatively powered vehicles trying to break 200 miles-per-hour, as Ford just became the "world's first automaker to set a land speed record for a production-based fuel cell powered car." The whip used to set the bar, of course, is none other than the Fusion Hydrogen 999, and it reportedly reached over 207 miles-per-hour at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Wendover, Utah without using a drop of gas. Apparently, Ford is hoping that this showcase of speed will somehow translate into advancements that will help us common folk get to work and back sans gasoline, and while we've no idea when a fuel cell propelled Cobra will roll off the line, it did note that a number of fuel cell propelled Focus vehicles were still burning down the roads as part of an ongoing study.[Via AutoblogGreen] Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsOffice Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power ...

James G. Ballard, "La mostra delle atrocità"
2007-01-11 10:37:01 La mostra delle atrocità James G. Ballard di Giuseppe Iannozzi La mostra delle atrocità è un libro intenso e inquietante. Le radici non sessuali della sessualità qui sono esplorate con una precisione chirurgica. Un incidente d’auto può essere sessualmente stimolante più di un’immagine pornografica, questo un commento di William S. Burroughs che accompagnò l’uscita del La mostra delle atrocità di J. C. Ballard. Il libro, subito, non mancò di scatenare le ire dei benpensanti americani e di molti intellettuali europei: il ritratto che Ballard dava della società era spietato, crudo, tanto crudo da attirare favorevolmente l’attenzione di un grande della Beat Generation come William S. Burroughs, noto per il suo stile estremo e per i temi scottanti, inquietanti, dei suoi libri. Burroughs rimase letteralmente affascinato dal lavoro di Ballard, un libro che subit... |
