"So, tell me, Vladimir - if I may call you that - WHAT MAKES YOU TICK?"

This and other golden moments are likely to be featured in a new chatshow series which Julian Assange is hosting for English-language Russian news station Russia Today, available on all of the digital platforms in the UK.

The first Samsung Art+ Prize awards are about to be announced, by judges and by You The Viewers.

With the works showcased at the BFI until this evening, the awards are being announced tomorrow. The winner of the public vote receives a Samsung "Series 8 Smart TV", a beast which we only hope that they have space for.

A true polymath, Gregory Bateson is well-known for his work in cybernetics, with Steps to an ecology of mind perhaps his most famous work: a collection of essays on anthropology, epistemology, and evolution.

A film all about Bateson, called An ecology of mind and made by his daughter Nora, is shortly to be screened at the University of Westminster as part of a UK-wide tour.

Contemporary culture is as much a product of its past as its future. The comforts of who we were are challenged by the anxieties of who we could be.

In conversation to discuss these concepts and their relevance to culture, advertising, and society, are Leila Johnston and Chris Heathcote.

Work  has begun on the National Media Museum's gallery to explore the social, technological and cultural impact of the Internet and the Web. Opening on 30 March, Life Online is the world's first purpose-built gallery which explores these concepts.

With content ranging from historic analyses to specially-curated work, there's a lot to cram in to the £2m space.

As the year closed, I asked this question on my blog:·What image made the most impact on you in 2011?

It was a simple question, which I elected not to expand on. There were no rules, but reasons for the choice were invited.

CultureCode is "... a series of free events designed to create an opportunity for North East cultural and digital communities to work closely together, increasing their understanding of each other's work and the mutual benefits of collaboration."

Taking place in February and March, CultureCode comprises a number of events, which all take place in Newcastle-upon-Tyne... and it's all free.

New magazine folio calls itself an "exhibition space on paper" and presents the work of several artists per issue. With print undergoing rapid and tumultous change, it's undoubtedly an interesting time to launch such a product.

Editors Merve Kaptan and Charlie Coffey, artists themselves, commissioned graphic designer, lecturer, and co-founder of agency We Draw Lines Paul Bailey to produce "A place is a space we give meaning", a special work which explores the content within folio issue zero. How do we experience three-dimensional, sculptural, time-based and de-materialised work within a physical, two-dimensional environment? We invited Paul, Merve and Charlie to discuss the challenges of print and how the work came into being.

Artist and former Imperica interviewee Max Dovey's new project, Yourhomepage, transforms Google Street View into a place where memories are explored – where we lived, the streets that we grew up in, and the areas which shaped us.

We invited Max back to talk to us about his new project, and how Google Maps and Street View are being used to interrogate and reawaken our memories.
