Hello, citizens of the world.
We are Anonymous
North Korean government is increasingly becoming a threat to peace and freedom.
Don’t misunderstand us: As well we disagree with the USA government too – these guys are crooks, USA is a threat to world peace too, and direct democracy (or any kind of democracy) doesn’t exist there. The American government is a target and enemy of Anonymous as well!
This is not about country vs country – This is about we, the people, the 99% (of USA and of North Korea) vs oppressing and violent regimes (like USA gov. and N.K. gov)!
We, the people, are gathering together because we are stronger now and we won’t fight your wars anymore, we won’t eat your shit anymore!!!
We demand:
– N.K. government to stop making nukes and nuke-threats
– Kim Jong-un to resign
– it’s time to install a free direct democracy in North Korea
– uncensored internet access for all the citizens!

The Noguchi Museum
Born in Los Angeles, California, to an American mother and a Japanese father, Isamu Noguchi lived in Japan until the age of thirteen, when he moved to Indiana. While studying pre-medicine at Columbia University, he took evening sculpture classes on New York’s Lower East Side, mentoring with the sculptor Onorio Ruotolo. He soon left the University to become an academic sculptor.

Georgy Kurasov started to paint, but it soon became clear that selling his pictures for any acceptable price was going to be impossible, and so he had to feed his family by producing small pastels which Georgy sold through small galleries dealing mainly in souvenirs for foreign tourists.
In 1991 the Soviet Union collapsed. By that time Kurasov had put together a large body of paintings, but had absolutely no idea what he was going to do with them. The future looked bleak.
Then in 1993 his works were first exhibited in the USA. Since then, Georgy Kurasov have exhibited and sold his paintings exclusively in North America.
It is many years since he dropped out of the world of sculpture in Russia, and he never formed part of the world of painting there. Kurasov knows there are plenty of people who, noting the absence of his works at Russian exhibitions, think he has emigrated.
Americans see Georgy Kurasov as a Russian artist, Russians as an American artist. Painters think he is a sculptor. Sculptors are sure he is a painter.
And when Georgy Kurasov thinks of it, he rather like this borderline existence. Perhaps it what makes it possible to be himself, to be unlike anyone else.
The House of Automata
A mechanical singing bird mechanism. Made around 120 years ago in Paris, probably by Bontems. In the film I hope you can identify all the major parts and see them working together to make the sound. The mechanism was in a rusted and seized state and has been restored. Surpisingly the bellows are in good original condition. See our channel for more, much more.

この数カ月ほどの間、公的及び私的な事情のために極めて忙しい日々が続き、私はとうとう、人間としてほとんど壊れてしまった。いや、壊れきったと思った時点でまだほんの少しだけ残っていた人間的な部分でさえも、また破壊することになり、そうやって、今も壊れ続けている。食べることで人間性をわずかばかり取り戻し、それをまた仕事によって壊し、また食べて飲み、また壊し……要するに、自分を壊すため、壊すに足る自分を作るために食べているのだ。生きるために食べるという本来のあり方とは隔たってしまっている。どこかで元に戻さなければと思いながら、転がり落ちてゆく自分を止められない。人間でなくなってゆく過程を、まだ人間である自分が見つめていて、その人間である自分もやがて化物になってゆく。食べるのだとしたら、自分で自分の命を食べている。それがはっきりと分かる。

What was intimated in the radioactive culture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries erupted at full force in Hiroshima and Nagasaki: if the atomic blasts and blackened skies can be thought of as massive cameras, then the victims of this dark atomic room can be seen as photographic effects. Seared organic and nonorganic matter left dark stains, opaque artefacts of once vital bodies, on the pavements and other surfaces of this grotesque theater. The “shadows”, as they were called, are actually photograms, images formed by the direct exposure of objects on photographic surfaces. Photographic sculptures. True photographs, more photographic than photographic images.

What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who only has eyes if he’s a painter, ears if he’s a musician, or a lyre in every chamber of his heart if he’s a poet – or even, if he’s a boxer, only some muscles? Quite the contrary, he is at the same time a political being constantly alert to the horrifying, passionate or pleasing events in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. How is it possible to be uninterested in other men and by virtue of what cold nonchalance can you detach yourself from the life that they supply so copiously? No, painting is not made to decorate apartments. It’s an offensive and defensive weapon against the enemy.

In the present world of expectations and disappointment, hidden threats and clear danger, there are many ways to die, not the least of which is consciously—choosing death over life or surrendering in full consciousness and potential. You, however are Not Dead. You are among the survivors, a quick study, awake and sturdy, an able individual who knows when to follow and when to fall behind. Neither solider nor stranger to structured living, you play the game well, even if it disgusts you—trusting to be trusted, serving to be served, obeying to command to one day transcend, neither master nor slave, even to yourself.

Imagine you’re a New York City building official, and the mayor’s office has decided to let an artist build a living room six stories up in the air and wrap it around a historic statue of Christopher Columbus in the middle of one of Manhattan’s busiest intersections.
Oh, and the plan is to have 100,000 people climb up stairs to view it.

人は忘れ得ぬ女たちに、偶然の機会に、出会う。そのまま二度と会わぬこともあり、そのときから長いつき合いが始まって、それが終ることもあり、終らずにつづいてゆくとこもある。しかし忘れ得ないのは、あるときの、ある女の、ある表情・姿態・言葉である。それを再び見出すことはできない。 …
理解するとは、分類することである。一人の女が他の女に似ている点に注目する。あるいは、一人の男がもう一人の男に似ている点に。しかし愛するとは、分類を拒むことである。その女を愛するのは、他の誰にも似ていないから、つまりかけ替えがないからである。 …
評価することなしに創作することはできない。みずから絵を描くためには、みずから絵を評価しなければならない。画家が古典を必要とするのは、古典を模倣するためではなく、絵画を定義するためである。

ここ数百年、それほど変化なく続いてきた、四季の色や匂いや、動植物に対する感性が、まるごと崩壊してしまうような気がする。俳句の季語もそうだし、かさね色目といった色の文化もそうだ。
生態系が変化すれば、その影で、絶滅の危機に瀕する、草木や動物達も数知れないだろう。1種類の草木が滅びることで、それにまつわるあらゆる文化、そこで共生してきたあらゆる昆虫や鳥や動物たちの営みの歴史が消える。それは、とてつもなく恐ろしいことではないだろうか。
そして、1種類の動植物が絶滅することで、それにまつわる”色”もまた消える。かつて、この国を象徴する色だった”朱鷺色”という限りなくたおやかな色が消えてしまったように。
「色の名前」という本に載っていた水田に落ちた朱鷺の風切羽の色は、いつも私を悲しくさせる。

Art is a product of human activity, made with the endeavour of stimulating the human senses, mind, soul and spirit. In other words art is a collection of actions and objects created with the intention of transmitting emotions and ideas.
Art usually is associated with the freedom that’s why it has mutual objects with the Internet. This is the virtual place where free minded people meet, communicate and present their ideas with a wide range of people getting to know their thoughts.

Как сообщает Daily Mirror, американский фотограф Спенсер Туник, известный своей любовью к массовым «голым» фотосессиям, в подарок одной из галерей снял в Англии несколько сотен голых добровольцев в парке. Старые и молодые, мужчины и женщины, совершенно обнаженные, собрались в парке, где фотограф через мегафон командовал толпой. Нужно отметить, что участие в голых фотосессиях ничуть не смущает «моделей». Ради искусства они готовы забыть о половых различиях, стоять, лежать и даже прыгать, подчиняясь идее фотографа. Фотосессия приурочена к 10-летней годовщины художественной галереи Lauri в английском городе Солфорде. Фотография должна напоминать работу известного английского художника Л. С. Лаури, в честь которого был назван музей.
