The Stolen Scream. In 2006, photographer
Noam Galai posted a handful of dramatic self-portraits to
Flickr. Unbeknownst to him, his screaming face slowly took on a life of its own (often as a symbol of unrest or protest), appearing in
countless permutations the world over. In this mini-documentary, Noam is surprisingly pragmatic about his accidental fame, and the fact that he only got paid once for the legal use of the picture.

In June of 2004, fifty-eight friends and acquaintances joined in a collaborative labor project that lasted for eight days. They were instrumental in organizing the
Prelinger Library in San Francisco, CA. One month from today will be the little library's fifth anniversary celebration. The
library project/ public art project/ art installation/ archive/ part information center is an
appropriation-friendly collection of books, periodicals,
zines, and print ephemera.
The library isn't organized by the Dewy Decimal system, but
sorted by Megan Prelinger into
four constant threads: landscape and geography; media and representation; historical consciousness; and political narratives from beyond the mainstream. The library is the less-known work of
Rick Prelinger, and his wife, Megan. Rick is most commonly known for his video collection, which is the primary source of
ephemera films on
archive.org. (
