Les recomiendo ver estos links, les va tomar un buen rato pero vale la pena. En las primeras cuarenta esta una foto de Tijuana en el No.16:
es un disco de la china....es el super disco chino!
"Por eso los morrillos que crecieron en los finales de los 70's y principios de los 80's es tan alucinados ahora"
It's very interesting one of his first argument about mutation and how simmetry is the absence of information
Este video me remonta a mas de 10 anios atras cuando estudiba la carrera de arquitectura. No solo me bastaba con realizar los proyectos "churros" de escuela, sino que tuve la fortuna y el valor de realizar mas de un proyecto con el arquitecto Peralta. El en ocasiones muy especiales invitaba a sus experimentados amigos/colegas (que mas bien eran una especie de kamikazes arquitectonicamente-sedados), y destrozaban nuestros trabajos e ideas de una forma muy placentera - diria yo...! "Buenos recuerdos".
Aqui los dejo con un interesante video de las tiendas BEST disenadas por SITE en los 70's y 80's (tomado de: a daily dose of architecture), revisa la parte 2, 3 y 4 en youtube.
The Motherboard Series is an extension of my earlier Sampler Series. While the concepts of these two series are directly connected (the female conflict of the domestic woman vs. the woman of sexual desire), the execution has been taken one step further in scale and narrative.Within my series of Motherboards, the line has been distorted between the types of websites that housed the original content. Though some of the figures were remediated from pornography sites, others were appropriated from sites that display famous works of art and fashion websites. By blurring the line between these female icons the viewer is invited to distinguish between them without context.Once downloaded from search engine results, the image is digitally removed from its original background. The image is then put through another program that translates its pixels into cross-stitch. With jump-stitches left intact—a remnant of its mechanical fabrication—the figure appears bound by the very medium that enables her visual existence.Using the sewing machine like a drawing instrument, I make choices of where I want the stitches to lay—often eliminating stitches from areas or only allowing the machine to stitch the outline of a specific color. Because of their size, each Motherboard takes anywhere from 1-3 months to sew. The digital aesthetic, that quite literally resembles a computer’s motherboard, juxtaposed with the hand-made associations of embroidery, speaks to the joining together of human and machine—fabricated domesticity.
"Cinema, it is the age of the machine. Theatre, it is the age of the horse." Leger fascination with film was deep-seated. He belief that "the lens of the motion-picture camera was the eye of the truly modern man". Leger explained that "cinema turned my head around" and I wanted to make a film at any cost and I made Ballet mecanique. The title alone suggests that, like the Purist, Leger was striving to combine the contemporary and the timeless, in this case the energy of the machine and the elegance of the classical ballet. Leger in Ballet mecanique firmily rejected abstraction: "This film is objective, realistic, and in no way abstract". The film -which, though not abstract, is certainly not narrative- opens with images of a marionette in relief (based on Charlie Chaplin and related to an earlier, unrealized film project of Leger's) and soon moves into images of a girl on a swing (Katherine Murphy, wife of Dudley Murphy also composer of the film), followed by images of a woman's lips and teeth as well as ordinary household objects (wines, bottles, a straw hat, etc.), isolated in space and photographed in close-up. The film explores notions of rhythm (both fast and slow) and of the integration of man and the machine; as in Leger's paintings, "the machinery becomes anthropomorphized, the figures mechanized". For example, a washerwoman is shown climbing a flight of steps from the Seine carrying a load of laundry on her shoulder. As soon as she reaches the top step, she reappears, Sisyhus-like at the bottom. This sequence is repeated in the film a total of twenty three times, interspersed with imaginery of a machine piston in motion, suggesting a parallel between the two repetitive actions.
Para empezar este '09, los dejo con este videito, por si acaso alguien todavia duda que un "blow job" no sea arte.
