Saw this on Democrasy Now!

Looks like an interesting documentary into what happened to the people of the town of Futaba after the meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

A poet instead of a banker.

Remember that the Sixties happened in the early Seventies, right, so you have to remember that and that's sort of when I came of age. So I saw a lot of this and to me the spark of that was that there was something beyond sort of what you see every day. It's the same thing that causes people to want to be poets instead of bankers. And I think that's a wonderful thing. And I think that that same spirit can be put into products, and those products can be manufactured and given to people and they can sense that spirit.

I call on people to be 'obsessed citizens,' forever questioning and asking for accountability. That's the only chance we have today of a healthy and happy life.

Ishikawa Takeshi Collaboration

These digital prints are by Ishikawa Takeshi. He is having an exhibition focussed on other artists taking his prints and creating something new with them.

These are the prints that I have chosen to work with.

The random, noisy, natural textures and the intesity of colour is inspiring just on it's own. I have tried a few things so far but yet to settle on one idea.

new series: Words

A single word. Apply a font style, scale, color, position, etc to clearly communicate an idea about that word and the World. No ambiguity !!!

Hence the empty echo chamber of Dada. A feed back loop of absurdity.
