Jesse James Garrett of http://www.adaptivepath.com/ identifies nine distinct competencies which are needed for a holistic design team and process.

Whilst not requiring a dedicated body for every project, Garrett discusses nine competencies which must be met by a successful team. They form a useful basis for developing a holistic project workflow.

Artist Jonathan Harris created 10x10 to highlight the images and words that form our definitions of time through the media.

Automatically pulling images and words from the online content of 3 large news agencies over the space of an hour, the application displays them in a 100 image grid which allows you to zoom in on specific items and chart their relative importance by the regularity with which they appear. Operating without human intervention, it creates a tapestry of current media events, threading a trail backwards in time.

Information (state of the) Art combining technology, media criticism and public awareness, 10x10 is an incredible resource for a wide angle view of mediated society.

10x10 was designed and developed by Jonathan Harris of Number27, in conjunction with the FABRICA communication research center in Italy.

Jon Ronson has spent 3 years piecing together the historical trail of American PsyOps strategies, famous from events such as Waco, and how they have culminated in the horrors of Abu Ghraib.

Sunday 7th November see the beginning of Channel 4’s screening of his 3 part documentary, tracing the (d)evolution of subliminal warfare strategies from post-Vietnam New Age “peace” soldiers to post-9/11 military Black Ops. With the Bush administration having spent $30 billion dollars on secret budgets (more than any other US administration in history), and with a mandate for a second term unlikely to dent enthusiasm for such strategies, this makes compelling, if horrific, viewing.

CRAZY RULERS OF THE WORLD by Jon Ronson begins Sunday 7 November at 8pm on Channel 4

Part two of The Road to Abu Ghraib, also by Jon Ronson features in the Guardian Weekend on Saturday, 6 November.
