CYBER SCRIPTURES The godless realm we know as the Internet is about to get a little bit holier. A Florida company called Visual Bible www.visualbible.com is producing an epic, completely scripturally faithful video of the Bible, which it plans to make available on the Internet. The project is expected to take up to 15 years and cost in the neighborhood of $400 million. For all that, it won't be the first: the entire New Testament is already online in MP3 format at www.audiotreasure.com C'EST CHIC, LE GEEK Strange bedfellows Levi Strauss & Co. and Philips Electronics have teamed...
...Walking through the trapezoidal yellow doorway, I found myself charmed by the d?cor and clean, well-squeegeed feel of the place. Luxuriant red tile framed the self-serve soda-machine area, sliced through by a row of white squares with the swaying-palm logo that serves as a visual counterpoint to the chain's trademark yellow zigzag.

A notable exception arises in Blanche's lapses into reminiscence, where the music she danced to long ago clashes with the background honky-tonk, creating a cacophony to echo the disturbance within her mind. Though the relative visual simplicity of the piece is important to the text, shifting boundaries between realism and magic--pantomimed doors and cloth walls give way to warped floorboards and battered furniture--is at once complimentary and disconcerting. Stella, Blanche and Stanley are crowded together into a tiny space where privacy does not exist...
...then there's the girl with the shuttlecock, that magical little refugee from a Piero della Francesca, all inwardness as she contemplates the sneak serve she is about to make. The painting's visual rhymes are delicious. Each feather of the shuttlecock, for instance, repeats some element of her appearance. White feathers repeat the white of her apron; a blue feather picks up the blue of her ribbon; a pink feather, the color of her cheek. It is as perfectly made as any sonnet. It makes you realize what rewards can flow from Chardin's desire to link the appearance...
