Korean Food Restaurant Artwork

While exploring IV, I came across a little Korean restaurant with the label "I <3 Seoul Food". Surprisingly, when I entered, I came across an abundance of artwork posted within the restaurant. If anyone is ever on Embarcadero, be sure to check out this restaurant.

Cindy Sherman

Cindy Sherman fabricates characters within the realm of photography and film, that dare to challenge both the frame and the spectator. Her personas are informed by historical figures, domestic caricatures and the peripheral public. Familiarity occurs when these identities are given life and narrative presence by the viewer themselves.

Video About Semiotics

I thought this was an awesome video to post since we are on our talk about semiotics. It explains and breaks down scenes from movies that we would usually not catch in everyday observations.

Control

http://www.focusfeatures.com/article/anton_corbijn_interview?film=the_american

Control is Anton Corbijn's 2007 biographical film about Ian Curtis, who was the lead vocalist for the post-punk band Joy Division.

Joy Division stood at the threshold of two emerging genres within the music scene. Their sound embodied the explosive energy of New Wave while the lyrical content presented the angst and melancholy found within Goth. Ian's suicide serves as a testament to the alienation and lack of direction found among countless youths, after the failed promise of revolution and change by the Punk movement.
