The world food system is extremely complex. Trying to understand how farmers in Africa are impacted by decisions we make at the grocery store in the west - and the whims of commodity traders in Chicago - can hurt the brain.

The 9-minute video by French multimedia artist Denis van Waerebeke starts by stating that 1 in 7 humans is undernourished and how 96% of those going hungry live in the Global South.

Clay Shirky looks at Cognitive Surplus; the shared, online work we do with our spare brain cycles. While we're busy editing Wikipedia, posting to Ushahidi (and yes, making LOLcats), we're building a better, more cooperative world. Shirky talks about how we're at "the end of coach potato era"; there are "over a trillion hours of free time a year" and we can use it make the world a better place.

An animation showing edits to the OpenStreetMap.org project during 2008. OpenStreetMap is a wiki-style map of the world and this animation displays a white flash each time a way is entered or updated. Some edits are a result of a physical local survey by a contributor with a GPS unit and taking notes, other edits are done remotely using aerial photography or out-of-copyright maps, and some are bulk imports of official data.

OpenStreetMap started in 2004 and the rate of contributions is accelerating with four times as many people contributing to the project in 2008 compared to 2007. During the year, edits were made by some 20,000 individuals and there were bulk imports of data for many places, including the USA, India, Italy and Belarus which are clearly visible in the animation.

This video features a newly developed robotic cop patrolling the streets of Johannesburg, South Africa. Well, not really. This is actually a spec corporate video created by Neill Blomkamp of The Embassy Digital Effects Inc. for a fictional company named Tetra Vaal. It is one of the best digital effects that I've seen in a long time.
