Woodstock in North Korea?

In a band? Any plans for early May? No? North Korea invites you to participate in Rock for Peace in Pyong Yang, the reclusive nation's capital.

"This is the very first time in history that North Korea allows western musicians in the heart of DPRK territory to play capitalist popular music. There are few restrictions and conditions on participation but any band will be considered even though you are from USA. The lyrics should not contain admirations on war, sex, violence, murder, drug, rape, non-governmental society, imperialism, colonialism, racism, anti-DPRK, and anti-socialism. The concert will be held from May 01 to May 04, 2007 under the management of Voice of Korea. We currently received requests of 41 bands from 19 countries and participations are increasing everyday. 'ROCK FOR PEACE' will be the 2007 version of Woodstock rock festival in 1969 but in different location and in different goals."

Unser Taglich Brot (Our Daily Bread)

Welcome to the world of industrial food production and high-tech farming! To the rhythm of conveyor belts and immense machines, the film looks without commenting into the places where food is produced in Europe: monumental spaces, surreal landscapes and bizarre sounds - a cool, industrial environment which leaves little space for individualism. People, animals, crops and machines play a supporting role in the logistics of this system which provides our society's standard of living.

Black Gold

If you drink coffee, go see this film.

Wallpaper

Here's some pretty swanky wallpaper from a few very talented people...

Bad TV = Pornography ?

So I discovered the rare quirky jewel TV Carnage, the video above pretty much explains the concept, pretty hilarious stuff

Si Scott

Holy shit! Scott's work reminds me of the mind-blowing type I've seen in back issues of Tokion Magazine. When I see a designer that actually takes the time to sit down and hand draw their pieces, I am truely inspired. Too many people now days rely on cheap computer gimmicks and tools to make up for their slack or lack which has become the norm thing to do.

Roots of Shinjuku

(from Take Junichiro - (訳:Justin Jesty)

At the end of the 20th century In the underground beneath the enormous metropolis of Shinjuku.
There was a commune, an independent nation even, of people who lived their lives on the street.

Hundreds of cardboard houses grew up in the underground passageways of the west exit. On each of these houses were paintings. Mysterious and magical, they threw vivid colors of resistance out into space, a kaleidoscope of derisive laughter against the state.

A group of painters painted them. Leading the group was Take Junichiro, who is also the person who made this website. Once during the painting process Take was arrested and forced to spend 22 days in jail. The painting continued even after his arrest, but finally came to an end when the underground kingdom was destroyed in a huge fire.

After the fire, the authorities started reconstruction on the tunnels so that the homeless could never occupy them again. They succeeded in kicking the homeless out of the west exit underground.

This website was made to call attention to the paintings on the cardboard houses, and bring back to life the kingdom within a city that once was there but has now become nothing more than a phantom.

The works included here are only a small portion of all the works that were painted.

The photographs here are the work of photographer Sakokawa Naoko and others who sympathized with what we were doing. They generously gave their permission to use them.

We give them our deep thanks.

This wasn’t art that bowed to the system, nor did it have the weakness of finding authenticity only in its marginalization. This is why the work that sustained the cardboard art is so important and valuable.

Hung Over from Whale Orgies

Song of the Day:
Threeway Rendezuous! The Wet Spots

Ran across this talented young lady this morning...

Playground Rules

David Huyck's collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, and installations center around the ethics of the playground. Great pieces, and the large images make for great wallpapers for your desktop too!

Honeycut

My music guru friend Leigh just pointed me to this group of three San Fransisco talents... the track "Shadows" is especially friscalicious!
