    NEW YORK --

    Bicoastal creative postproduction studio Modern Post has added editor Aitor Bigas to its roster for his first U.S. representation. Bigas’ work spans brands including Gucci, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Acne Studios and Calvin Klein as well as stylized music videos for artists such as Bad Bunny, Arca, Bjork and Rosalía. 

    Bigas said, “With their talented roster and highly stylized work, Modern Post was a natural fit for me in the U.S. market.”

    “Aitor’s work is incredibly dynamic and seamlessly integrates music and sound,” added Modern Post managing director Charlyn Derrick. “Whether he is working on a music video or a fashion spot, his distinct point of view is clear and you can feel an emotional pull across his body of work.”

    After studying film at Barcelona Cinema School, Bigas got his start cutting music videos with friends. He gravitated towards the more experimental nature of the genre, which dovetailed nicely into the fashion space when he made the transition to brand work. He began rapidly building a reel for a wide range of fashion and luxury brands, drawing upon his experience as a drummer to punctuate heightened visuals with syncopated music and sound design.

    A student of the world, Bigas continues to pursue his artistic passions beyond filmmaking, voraciously exploring all that European photography, art and music has to offer. He also is currently working on releasing the fifth photography book out of his own publishing house, PROGRESSO.

    A Closer Look At Proposed Measures Designed To Curb Google’s Search Monopoly

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled Google maintained an illegal monopoly for the last decade.

    The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Justice could radically alter Google's business, including possibly spinning off the Chrome web browser and syndicating its search data to competitors. Even if the courts adopt the blueprint, Google isn't likely to make any significant changes until 2026 at the earliest, because of the legal system's slow-moving wheels.

    Here's what it all means:

    What is the Justice Department's goal?
    Federal prosecutors are cracking down on Google in a case originally filed during near the end of then-President Donald Trump's first term. Officials say the main goal of these proposals is to get Google to stop leveraging its dominant search engine to illegally squelch competition and stifle innovation.

    "The playing field is not level because of Google's conduct, and Google's quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired," the Justice Department asserted in its recommendations. "The remedy must close this gap and deprive Google of these advantages."

    Not surprisingly, Google sees things much differently. The Justice Department's "wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the Court's decision," Kent Walker, Google's chief legal officer, asserted in a blog post. "It would break a range of Google products — even beyond search — that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives."

    It's still possible that the Justice Department could ease off on its attempts to break up Google, especially if President-elect Donald Trump... Read More
