on the opposite page to mcyan timesq incident in Apple Daily, is a smaller entry on AIR 4x4 project working their way into the community.

Recently heard, there is a work of Bansky to be on show here in town. Name of Bansky seems to be spreading quick, while many still have not heard of him when Law Man Lok introduced about him in the Comics hijacking Activism workshop. But I did notice a short news article in am 730 of a wall with his graffiti getting auctioned.

Tiny West mentioned also in the workshop of a few props that they saw from manual books for protestors and tried to reproduce themselves. Those designs suddenly remind me of the works of another artist that I came upon in Istanbul Biennial 07. check out the gears he designed at www.tersyontersyon.blogspot.com

用觀眾的場中搞作來重新理解mc仁時代廣場事件角度會否不同?



小樺在文明單位提到疑似pandaman塗鴉出現在觀塘舊區重建的展覽中心外牆不過是一夜就消失了.倒是我在展覽廳內,發現一些參展人物(包括小樺)的蹤影.
i personally do not wanna take a stance on how the clip has been titled, or what it meant I post it here, I just think people visiting this site might be interested in this incident, so watch it and judge (or simply think) for yrself.

在主流媒體的洗刷後,保衛皇后碼頭運動裡的人,很多時給人的印象頂多只是一班激進的示威者。但其實在整個運動之中,存在著很多不同背景的人,他們每一個都有不同的信念,身處在共同的一個社會運動之中,每日經歷著喜、怒、哀、樂,能夠維繫在一起的,就只是相信自已的參與,能夠改變一些被認為不能改變的東西。清場過後,皇后碼頭被圍板重重圍困。輸了嗎?沒有。因為仍然有人嘗試,繼續與運動去發生關係,想去改變那些「不可能」。

事務多多,搭多了地鐵,有一天遇上metropop發行天,拿了一本來研究,竟發現有chie!的介紹而給打了一頓,也就收起來給相關人們過目,沒有想到,今天再翻下去,竟發現一則新聞,話說bjork在上海演唱,encore的部分,高歌了一曲declare independence,並把Tibet也混入其中地名.
我看不明白篇文的立場,大概是想把內地網民的反應和bjork也各打五十大板?以下這種的想法,真是不敢恭維,跟當天覓現香港的討論不相伯仲:

不管怎樣,買票為著看戲聽曲,不是為了你的個人言論自由.若要,籌集資金支持自己的言論,就別用錯圈錢的方式,利用他人對政治以外的興趣,比如音樂,比如裝酷.

或者,竟然他們都自認聽bjork音樂可比如裝酷,那不過就是裝的而已?
扮成煲呔的blog確實夠抵死,是進一步的06年出版物.

Well, talked with Tobias again today over the trouble with Osage concerning the foyer projection and my earlier entry here. It turned out to be another unfortunate mis-communication between different parties, and I am therefore happy to apologize for any false accusation to anyone based on incomplete facts. (the peculiar fact is ofcourse, how come I also have only the partial facts?)

The fact, it seems, is that Osage did ask or communicate (unfortunately just) with Tobias (and not us curators of the show), about what they wanted to do with the foyer projection, while we curators were then still attempting to use the foyer projection for showing our participants' work there. For us, work of art always should have the priorty, and hence we were particularly dissatisfied then, with the intended work showing there being replaced by a design that has not our (curators') endorsement.

I certainly do not want to put all the blame on to Tobias, for our idea over the projection at the foyer was a rather late decision, and I principally agreed with Tobias then, that it would be a waste of our energy with what I proposed to do, that of asking both Norman and us to meet with Osage and decide together on what to do with the front projection.

Yet taking in Tobias' advise on the spot, I shifted to response to it in the CHiE blog afterwards, by trying to see or link this experience with the topic of creative commons vs copy, stirring up attention to a new kind of unclear border, a grey zone, which is also a part of what the show is trying to address. What is stealing if we are trying to opening up copyright? What is it (or Why is it) that our designer was feeling bad about this? (Because its immitator technique is inferior?) I believe all these, should be a much more positive lesson for us to think about.
