avui ens hem entretingut visitant el MicroWaveFestival / Animatronica 2006 a mi sempre m’han encantat akest tipus d’instalacions..

…aki belforn and kuku fent el mico en unes pantalles on et persegueixen caracters…. una instalacio bonissima i ke m’hi he passat una bona estona es la “Shadow Monsters“!!!
Brutal!!! es una projeccio de les sombres k fas amb sorolls i siluetes afegides… bonissim!
no us perdeu el video>>>

What was happening at the Hong Kong basements 20 years ago?
simple: they where selling pirated apple computers and software (like now)

Take a look at this video that was recorded back in 1986 using a hidden camera.
*the intro is quite long but retro-futuristically nice
The most amazing is that in that shops they could get any software within 3 days of its announcement anywhere in the world.
How could they do this without internet?
easy: they had lots of good friends that were airline pilots

… no soc l’unic que em multiplico! jejeje

> visitant akest link podras verue la cantitat de naixaments (i morts) mundials a temps real… es escandalós!
>>> si vols la versio eco’friendly, akest altre link t’informa de la quantitat d’emisions de Co2 munidals en temps real tambe

what about money? > en akest link pots saber lo ric k ets globalment….

I a continuacio un fabulós video on ens redueix la poblacio mundial a 100 persones i exposa alguns fets diferencials.

*fa temps vaig rebre un d’aquells odiosos ppt amb informació similar… pero el video m’agrada més

As a Big city, Hong Kong has lots of different people…
but the type i’m missing, is the streetartist….
…I miss Les Rambles

enjoy this wonderful video called Mr.Fortune

*this video belongs to a series of shortfilms creted by Eric Lerner.

this song came to my mind this morning when I was looking through the window… observing the amount of little ants crossing the streets of hong kong…
I particularly like this video, it’s fascinating, I can watch it over and over and I’m still seduced by it.
I specially like the “lunch break”! very fun

> this video is from Royksoop, an electronic music duo based in Bergen, Norway composed of Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge. The group formed officially in 1998 and released their debut album Melody A.M. in 2001.

apart from this video they have other ones that are really good also,
check the Poor Leno video

yesterday meanwhile having a beer in lan kwai fong (a guailo paradise) I had this song in my mind…

I want to share it

acabo de veure “the banquet“…

es una especie de superlovestory on mor mogollon de gent i ningu guanya…
>>> “You can’t fault the source material. The writers lift everything except the title from “Hamlet.” Motives and goals in some cases have been altered, but in general outline the film follows Shakespeare’s play closely.”

…una historia de palau on passions i venjances es barregen amb dances i masqueres, no va de guerres multitudinaries ni de kung fu demos, tot i que nomes al comencar hi ha una bon festival d’espases i saltirons.
…si voleu veure escenes de batalla amb musica classica de fons, endinssar-vos en l’ambient fisico-servicial de l’emperador i assaborir un xic la xina de fa uns segles, akest film es l’idoni.

*cal destacar el cantitat d’escenes on apareix gent volant, a l’estil de “the house of flying daggers” o “The bride with white hair“… jo encara no em sento comode amb akesta historia dels luchadores voladores… pero per aki a Asia tenen molt endins la “creenca” de que si ets un master de les arts marcials, voles. I per tant a les pelis hi apareix gent volant.
tambe trobo k fan un us en exces de macros en camara lenta i sorolls supersurround… a l’estil de: gota de sang que cau lentament i se sent…txxxoooop!…

basicament un aborriment de peli pero amb imatges intressants…
be, potser es k l’he vista en xino subtitulada al cantones….
encara que no soc l’unic que no ha xalat extremament amb akest film… aki algunes reviews:
>>>“The Banquet is a fine example to show that big budget films may not equate to substance, top actors may not equate to fine acting, and Chinese period movies should just stay true to the heart.”

pd, ja m’informareu de como la tradueixen per les iberies… “el banquete”?, “el festin”?, “la comilona”?,

avui fa un any estava en una pelea de galls…
…i avui estic abduit pels ascensors i la public surveillance… brrrrr

Roc came to HK…
i els efectes son visibles

aprofitant que en Roc esta per la china, (i que d’aki poc em fara una visiteta),…
… aki us convido a torna a veure un post de fa dies d’un video im-pressionant que vaig poder grabar quan vaig estar a Shanghai l’any 2004.
