thinking ahead

street art in one of it's many forms does what it does best here. social commentary for the masses. too bad we seldom learn from our mistakes. more from Vinchen here

L.A.: But what about the good ideas? Do they really come from cyber these days, as some people are saying?

Kalle Lasn: I don’t know, I’m from the old school. I don’t see it yet. I see a lot of frenetic activity in cyberspace, but a lot of it is like the postmodern hall of mirrors. It’s just people sending email messages to each other, hand on the mouse, and you think that you’ve done something great if you get some big idea here and send an email to your friend, and pass it on, and you think you have made some sort of a big thing for the day. I don’t actually see too many really new ideas coming out of cyberspace yet. I see a lot of new ideas still coming out of philosophers, musicians, thinkers, sociologists, a few economists. I think that the big ideas are still coming out in the traditional way, and then they start to reverberate within cyberspace. They are amplified there in cyberspace.

We surfed Long Island, hung out with Mick from Safe to Sea, and had a general good time. Thanks to Mollusk for letting Mick borrow a couple of special boards. Also thanks to my brejren C.F. for coming through with nuff good times and a ride to the spot.

looters is soldiers is crimanals

as storms develop in the atlantic and some move towards the gulf of Mexico I can't help but think of New Orleans in its weakened state. Perhaps Banksy has a better grip on how things really went down there.

art is better when it's not airconditioned.

the artists spirit is alive in the street of Havana. there's change on the horizon for the tropical island nation. cuba is a nation filled with intellectuals, scientists, writers, philosophers, musicians and more. it is also a culture with rich ethnic mixing - a place where race is blurred partially by design and partially by love. artwork lifted from the wooster collective
