Sometimes you can be amazed at what you find when you look at the details.

I find this a lot in cities, where if you keep your eyes open you can see another layer to society, buildings, infrastucture.

Example – What looked from the other side of Kildare Street as a planning application on a derelict building. That was enough to interest me. Seeing a planning application is an unfortunately rare site in these times.

So when you look at it you see that it is not a planning application but a US Visa Form. Obviously there is a strong political message there but where it gets really interesting is when you look at the small print.

So someone has gone to the effort of reproducing this form with a reimagined pretext which is really a poem.

Who did this? And is it poetry, protest, street art or all 3 either.

Whatever it may be it shows how interesting it can be to look at the details and that things may off appear different to how they appear on the surface.

It’s a big weekend for one of our clients the Athletic Association of Ireland as the Irish Indoor Championships are held in the Odyssey in Belfast. The event is run in conjunction with Northern Ireland athletics and is a great opportunity to catch some top class sport this weekend.

If you can’t make it this weekend, check out the highlights on Monday night on RTE

Arrested Development was a television show initially aired between 2003 and 2006. In my own opinion it is the finest sit-com ever made but like many great things it wasn’t appreciated in it’s own time. (more…)
