"How to Build a Nuclear Submarine" is as close as we can get to Battlestar Galactica in 2011


"How to Build a Nuclear Submarine" is as close as we can get to Battlestar Galactica in 2011 last shown on the BBC One on the 2nd Aug 2010. This program is brilliantly informative and take you into the bowels of submarine design and construction. The program delves into the construction of the Astute class of submarines commissioned by the English Navy.

The documentary style of the program and the technology within it, also just the look of the sub, remind me of my favourite television program of the last few years, Battlestar Galactica. This is only made better by the fact that real life English people just are not as good as, Apollo and Baltar, they even have their own Admiral Adama, except just brilliantly British. A fantastic program all in all however I probably enjoy it for the wrong reasons on top of the intend information based entertainment. The first instalment of the program is below for the rest of the program, some more information about it

and some more photos catch the jump after the video, Enjoy!

David OReilly's animations


"Autoportrait"

David OReilly's animations are colourful and entertaining, however they do posses a slightly dark element. The animations feed from a mixture of global pop culture and perhaps David's own twisted sense of humour. These videos posses a slightly cynical out look by embracing some of the darker elements of this pop culture, quite similarly to the works of Chris Ware in "The Acme Novelty Library" Just as a fore warning some of the videos contain material some viewers may find offensive. To Check out more of the Video's from David OReilly either follow the jump or click the link to David's Vimeo page, or check out his personal website at www.davidoreilly.com.

This Video is named "The External World" my favourite moment in this one is at 2:25 Enjoy!

Shift 3 : Design your own levels and test your skills

If you remember our original Shift post from January 2011, Shift 1, this is a new and updated version which is much larger as a game and features a new level designer function. So you can challenge both yourself and anyone else who cares to try at the game of shift. The game is still immensely fun and a bit addictive, there are some new elements to the game, but on the whole it still functions in the same way its just a fraction larger.

Once again the game plays music so this is just a picture, to play and have a crack at designing you own levels hit the jump below.

SalubriousHUB vs facebook

If we said we had joined up with facebook in some kind of corporate union, we would be lying. Rather this is just another way you can join up to SalubriousHUB and talk and socialise with its other members or the SalubriousHUB team about anything you've found on the net or feel may be appropriate for a post on the HUB. If you find something worth posting about we will credit you.

Don't know if we will get a twitter or something like that as well yet but for the moment this is just another way you can interact with the HUB, Enjoy the Group and feel free to post.

Tom Bakke Rasmussen



In his own words the work of Tom Bakke Rasmussen: "Emerges at the intersection of a variety of approaches; the critical, the absurd, the analytical and the
poetic."

He works with a number of media including installation and performance. The piece above comes from a piece called The Information Bomb (2009).

At SH we are constantly searching for fresh and interesting artists to bring to your attention. The playful, chaotic anarchy of Rasmussen's work hopefully appeals to you as much as it does to us.
