There is No Authority But Yourself is a Dutch film directed by Alexander
Oey documenting the history of anarchist punk band Crass. The film
features archive footage of the band and interviews with former members
Steve Ignorant, Penny Rimbaud and Gee Vaucher. As well as reflecting on
the band's past, the film focuses on their current activities, and
includes footage of Rimbaud performing with Last Amendment at the Vortex
jazz club in Hackney, a compost toilet building workshop and a
permaculture course held at Dial House in the spring of 2006.
The
title of the film is derived from the final lines of the Crass album
Yes Sir, I Will; "You must learn to live with your own conscience, your
own morality, your own decision, your own self. You alone can do it.
There is no authority but yourself."

Artist Aaron Koblin takes vast amounts of data -- and at times vast
numbers of people -- and weaves them into stunning visualizations. From
elegant lines tracing airline flights to landscapes of cell phone data,
from a Johnny Cash video assembled from crowd-sourced drawings to the
"Wilderness Downtown" video that customizes for the user, his works
brilliantly explore how modern technology can make us more human.
A friend and I were talking today about the insanity of freeclimbing. Ironically, to say "I would never do that if my life depended on it" means nothing here...But I do understand a climber getting to know their own strengths and weaknesses to such an extent that they are completely confident in their capabilities and have an acute understanding of every move in the particular route they are climbing. But still, for me, my fear of falling is only tempered by my trust in the gear that is keeping me from being a big bloody spot on the ground.
Case in point: check out this climber who took a huge drop before an anchor broke his fall.
An hour of pure eye candy for fans of the insect world. I didn't expect the film to be quite this beautiful. You can stream the entire thing high-definition on Netflix (the narration is translated to English).
