“Google+ is a lonely place. At least according to a new study that paints the social networking site as a virtual tumbleweed town. Using information culled from the public timelines of 40,000 randomly selected members, data analysis firm RJMetrics found that the Google+ population, which currently numbers 170 million, is largely disengaged, with user activity rapidly decaying—at least when it comes to public posts.” Von Caroline Winter > Weiter bei Bloomberg Businessweek

Video: Untitled (Iraq) 2009
“Bullet scored paraphernalia lie scattered in the dangerous wastes of central Iraq, evoking sculpture by Giacometti, Moore, Serra. Live and spent fire litter the surrounding landscape, creating an indelible image of the playfulness of destruction. The soundtrack invokes a roll of Iraqi place names, some of which are immediately recognizable to us through countless news dispatches from Iraqi wars.”

Galerie: “Afghanistan, November, 2010″
“Saturday, November 27th marked a milestone in Afghanistan – after that day passed, the United States and its allies have now been in Afghanistan longer than the Soviet Union had been when it withdrew in 1989.
