British leftist think-tank Demos teamed up with creative agency Airside to create “The Power Gap,” a three-minute visual essay that surveys the history of power structures in Western society and posits an atlernative to the de facto oligarchies that rule most of our lives.

This is typically the sort of stuff that professors in tweed jackets deliver to a classroom full of half-sleeping pupils. Airside knew this and had to come up with a strategy that would actually hold viewers’ interest for the full animation.

The BBC will be airing the appropriately titled 'Chimpcam' on BBC Two at 20.00 GMT on Wednesday January, 27th, during the 'Natural World' show. It was shot entirely by Chimps at the Edinburgh Zoo toting video cameras around their enclosures.

Gradually, the chimps started playing with the Chimpcam, carrying it around the enclosure.

The chimps soon became interested in the camera view screen on the Chimpcam box, watching what happened as they moved the Chimpcam around filming new images.

The apes are unlikely to have actively tried to film any particular subject, or understand that by carrying Chimpcam around, they were making a film.

However, the result, as well as providing new information on how chimps like to see the world, may yet go down in television history.

Nette araştırma yaparken gözüme takıldı..

Romanın adı La Disparisyon muş...Fransızcam yok, yanlışsam düzeltin...

Romanın özelliği ise George Perec in e harfini kullanmadan bu romanı yazmış olması. Roman Türkçeye çevrilirken de e harfi kullanılmadan tercüme edilmiş, ilginç...

Yazarın kullanmadığı ve böylece kaybetmeye müsaade ettiği “e” harfi Fransız işbirlikçiler tarafından Nazilere teslim edilen ve toplama kampında ölen annesini temsil ediyormuş.

Romanda Anton Voyl adlı kahramanın kayboluşu polisiye bir kurguyla anlatılıyormuş, Anton’la birlikte dünyadan ‘e’ harfi de kayboluyormuş.
