    NEW YORK --

    With its recent relocation to New York’s Lower East Side Gallery District and the opening of its SITE 57 gallery space, edit studio Bikini Edit has hired production and post veteran Cary Flaum in the position of executive producer.

    Flaum has been the EP and head of production for creative production company Shilo since 2013. During his tenure, he helped the company add premier creative and marketing talents to its staff, while spearheading film, television, commercials, music videos and experiential projects for leading clients. 

    “Cary is a forward thinker who values seeing and producing masterful work in new and innovative ways,” said Avi Oron, owner of Bikini Edit and SITE 57. “I’m very impressed with the breadth and quality of the work he has done over the years. Cary is the right fit for Bikini’s commitment to quality work, culture and values.”

    As for what’s next at his new roost, Flaum said, “In the weeks ahead, we will be bolstering our roster of acclaimed editors. With SITE 57, we look forward to expanding upon the foundation of fine art by inviting ad industry artists to participate in our program.”

    SITE 57 has created an affiliated gallery program that will present exhibitions, installations and events showcasing new work in contemporary visual art, film and video. Together with Bikini Edit, this represents a true creative environment heightening the synergy between art and advertising. SITE 57 is creating a brand new opportunity for industry artists like directors, cinematographers, creative teams, and Flame artists by offering them a platform for artistic expression.

    “Anyone who works in film, television and advertising can appreciate unbridled opportunities to fully express artistic abilities,” shared Oron, “whether it’s in traditional or non-traditional art. We invite artisans throughout the creative industries to participate in this program.”

    SITE 57’s calendar (which can be viewed here) is already filling up with shows, including an exhibition of video works from the Assume Vivid Astro Focus collective that opened on Feb. 25 and will run through late March. Previous shows have included works by Michael Zelehoski, Adrian S. Bara and Mario Navarro.

    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
