The Ars Electronica 2004 Awards

have been announced, and in the Computer Animation/Visual Effects category the winner is Chris Landreth for a film called “Ryan.” The subject of the film is Ryan Larkin, a groundbreaking, Oscar-nominated animator in the golden age of the National Film board who since has fallen on hard times. Larkin hangs out in my neighbourhood on St-Laurent Blvd, and spends time every evening at my local watering hole, the Copa.

  1. Any American leader who pleads “isolated incident” is going to be subject to ridicule.
  2. To me, the leadership (military and ‘intelligence’) who say they didn’t know anything about this is as culpable in this as the torturers.
  3. These are war crimes and should be tried as such.
