# Saint Denis N°4 /// Hip-Hop

Okay, it may sounds basics for French people, but it is quite impossible to write several articles about Saint Denis without writing one about French Hip-Hop band NTM.

There are some very big urbanism issues there, but it seems that there is no will from any state to work on it.Best movie you would probably watch about this issue may be Matthieu Kassowitz's La Haine (1995)NTM's albums:1991: Authentik1993: 1993, j'appuie sur la gachette (1993, I pull the trigger)1995: Paris sous les bombes (Paris under attack)1998: Suprême NTM

# Asimo chef d'orchestre !


Le 23 avril dernier, Asimo, le fameux produit de la recherche robotique de Honda, a dirigé, une partie de la soirée, le Detroit Symphonic Orchestra. L'image est impressionnante et dérange dans l'ambivalence qu'elle provoque entre franc enthousiasme et frayeur anticipatrice.
