Here is another sculpture by Chiharu Shiota seen at ARNDT during Art Basel Hong Kong 2013.
A sea a black threads attached to a metal frame suspends a horn in mid-air. The threads create a cocoon, a place for the musical instrument to float in air like magic. It feels like that you should be able to reach it, but you cannot as the web is in the way. The thread web creates the volume, even though the volume is mostly made with air. It is contained, yet it is not.
It is an academically sound creation. Serious yet fun at the same time — and it is easy to see why I absolutely adore this artist by the end of the show.

Pure Products USA | Ligorano/Reese Collaboration in Art
Towards a Surreal Politik…
In 1992, we began Pure Products of America as a series of multiple editions focusing on the impact of marketing on politics. Over the past 17 years, the series has expanded and now includes 14 pieces running the gamut from snow globes to underwear (our underwear was the first to pack a political message), to happy meals.
Each object is signed and numbered in various sized editions. When we introduce Pure Products, we send some of them as gifts to government officials. Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton, members of the Supreme Court and various Senators and Congressional representatives have all received a pure product at one time or another.
Pure Products also function as discreet elements in installations. The installations The Bible Belt, Pillars of the Clean Order, and Steel Nipples incorporated them in sculptural settings with video and other media. In 2001, we expanded on this idea with the inauguration of an online retail website as part of the project.
Each piece is grounded within a framework that satirizes political values and, often, lampoons morality. Some pure products, like Line Up and Contract with America underwear, became media sensations, reported in the press, on television and radio. The commentary surrounding the artwork is a mixture of absurdity and culture jamming, amplifying how much the media interprets and misinterprets contemporary art and blurs the connections between art, activism and commerce.

Bio
NORA LIGORANO and MARSHALL REESE have collaborated together as Ligorano/Reese since the early 80’s. They use collaboration to blend diverse talents into a singular voice and vision. In the process of creating their work, their individual contributions cross and criss-cross between each other from brainstorming to realizing and making the art on location or in the studio.
They use unusual materials and industrial processes to make their limited edition multiples, videos, sculptures and installations, moving easily from dish towels, underwear, and snow globes, to electronic art and computer controlled interactive installations.
They take and manipulate images, audio and text from old media: print, television, radio and combine that with the new: internet and mobile telecommunications. Their pursuit is an ongoing investigation into the impact of technology on culture and the associations and meanings that the media brings to images, language and speech in politics.
They have an interest with using open forms to involve community interaction, like their drawing contests, Crater Bay Area for the 01 Festival in San Jose and Crater New York at Location1. Installations that combine sculpture with public participation in drawing, within the context of a contest that is also streamed on the internet and in Second Life. Their ice sculptures, “Main Street Meltdown” and “The State of Things” share that same sense of open possibility, fusing natural processes of erosion and decay as flexible durations and markers to determine the experience of the work.
Many of their sculptures and installations reinterpret and reexamine older forms of technology - using objects that signify truth, authority and manifest cultural historicity. Ligorano/Reese use mirrors, clocks, metronomes and medieval codex bindings and combine them with video screens. They have invented micro-projection systems to display films on the head of a pin or the counterweight of a metronome.
Since 2004, they’ve investigated portraiture as a construct of social representation. Line Up (2004-5), their series of portraits of Bush administration officials in mug shot, acknowledges that the mug shot is the preeminent form of portraiture now that more people are incarcerated in the U.S. than any other country in the world. In December, 2007, the exhibition of these photos at the New York Public Library caused a firestorm of controversy with heavy rotation on FoxNews, DrudgeReport’s homepage and many, many other publications.
In 2001, they launched www.pureproductsusa.com, the online retail website for their infamous political art series the Pure Products of America. Since 1992, Ligorano/Reese have made 11 multiples in signed editions of 3 to 100. They are best selling editions at Printed Matter, artbook@ps1 and the New Museum store and have prompted, at least on one occasion, the RNC to threaten them with copyright infringement.

Haluk Akakçe (born 1970 in Turkey) is a contemporary artist living and working in New York and Istanbul whose work explores the intersections between society and technology through video animations, wall paintings and sound installations.
His other work which integrates technology is more interesting. Though as an expression of forms this is worth a look.

Agata Olek (Flickr) talks about her 100% Acrylic Art Guards public installation (wearable sculpture / performance art) during the annual Art Under the Bridge Festival in 2009.

Agata Olek Biography. The SPLAT! of colors hits you in the face, often clashing so ostentatiously that it instantly tunes you into the presence of severely cheeky humor. A moment later the fatigue of labor creeps into your fingers as a coal miner's work ethic becomes apparent. Hundreds of miles of crocheted, weaved, and often recycled materials are the fabric from which the wild and occasionally wearable structures of her fantasylands are born.
Olek was born Agata Oleksiak in Poland and graduated from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poland with a degree in cultural studies. In New York, she rediscovered her ability to crochet and since then she has started her crocheted journey/madness.
Resume sniffers may be pleased to know Olek's work has been presented in galleries from Brooklyn to Istanbul to Venice and Brazil, featured in "The New York Times", "Fiberarts Magazine", "The Village Voice", and "Washington Post" and drags a tail of dance performance sets and costumes too numerous to mention.
Olek received the Ruth Mellon Award for Sculpture, was selected for 2005 residency program at Sculpture Space, 2009 residency in Instituto Sacatar in Brazil, and is a winner of apex art gallery commercial competition. Olek was an artist in an independent collective exhibition, "Waterways," during the 49th Venice Biennale. She was also a featured artist in "Two Continents Beyond," at the 9th International Istanbul Biennale.
Olek herself however can be found in her Greenpoint studio with a bottle of spiced Polish vodka and a hand rolled cigarette aggressively re-weaving the world as she sees.

About Bert and Ernie
Bert and Ernie are two roommates on the long-running television show Sesame Street. The two appear together in numerous skits, forming a comic duo that is one of the centerpieces of the program. Originated by Frank Oz and Jim Henson, the characters are currently performed by Muppeteers Eric Jacobson and Steve Whitmire, with Oz performing Bert occasionally since 2000. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_and_Ernie
I always thought that Bert and Ernie are the perfect couple. I admire them and I cherish them. I also thought that they are the ideal husbands, and I wish that my love life is as rich and colorful as theirs.
A few years back, I met someone (who shall remain anonymous) who was an executive producer at the Children's Television Workshop, and I said: you know they are so gay... He said: They look gay because they *are* gay.

Teenagers playing a game of basketball until the wee hours in Hong Kong.
The basketball courts in New York always appeared somewhat rundown for my taste. Here in Hong Kong the sports facilities are fairly well run and maintained. They have opening hours. The gates are locked after closing. People sign up for use of facilities in person or online (I believe). Typical fees are around HK$20 (~US$2.50) per hour.
Also here you see the interesting urban planning by the Hong Kong Government. They would pack high-rise residential areas really dense and then plant a giant park in the middle. It is a lot like how you would do it SimCity. A bit fun.

The architectural facade of the public housing developments at (恆安邨 Heng On Estate) were painted in 紫色 purple and 綠色 green. These color choices seem completely random at first, but when the 洋紫荊 Bauhinia blakeana bloom from early November to the end of March, it made a lot of sense.
These orchid trees, also known as 香港蘭 Hong Kong Orchid Trees, could be seen were planted in rows near the entrance to the 恆安 Heng On MTR station in 馬鞍山 Ma On Shan.
洋紫荊 Bauhinia blakeana is an orchid tree of the genus Bauhinia with large thick leaves and striking purplish red flowers (豆科蘇木亞科羊蹄甲屬有花植物). Although now cultivated in many areas, it originated in Hong Kong in 1880 and apparently all of the cultivated trees derive from one cultivated at the Hong Kong Botanic Gardens and widely planted in Hong Kong starting in 1914.
In 1965, it was officially adopted as the floral emblem of Hong Kong (香港法定代表花卉 aka 香港市花) by the Urban Council. Since 1997 the flower appears on Hong Kong's coat of arm, its flag and its coins.

Windsurfing (滑浪風帆) is an important sport in Hong Kong—mainly because the only athlete to ever win an Olympic medal representing Hong Kong is a woman named 李麗珊 [1] Lee Lai-Shan [2].
Last year some friends from Sydney asked if I ever see people surf at the harbor outside my window, and I said probably not. And as usual, I stand corrected. I spotted four this afternoon. Super sweet.
Nice minimalistic geometric forms cast against the very complex forms of the waves. I especially like the impressionistic reflection on the water. I think that I will likely process this into a black and white in the future because it is screaming for it.

2. Lee Lai-shan MBE BBS (Chinese: 李麗珊) (born in Cheung Chau, Hong Kong, 5 September 1970) is a former world champion and Olympic gold medal-winning professional windsurfer from Hong Kong. She is the only athlete to win an Olympic medal representing Hong Kong, not as part of China. Since 1997, Hong Kong has been stipulated to append the word "China" after its name in all Olympic events. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Lai_Shan

Located on the shore of Tolo Harbour northwest of Ma On Shan in the New Territories in Hong Kong, there lies a place called Wu Kai Sha (Chinese: 烏溪沙) which is familiar to many locals. It is famous for a campsite—the Wu Kai Sha Youth Village of YMCA, which is often used by Christians in Hong Kong as a place for retreat. Shown here is the beach which lies directly adjacent to the campsite, which is located at the end of the Ma On Shan Promenade.
Because the ND filters I have add such a strange vignette, I also shot some photos at the beach without it. Here the vignette is natural to the 17-40, and I really want to find some graduated ND filter soon in Hong Kong but I do not know where to get them near by. Simply put there is no equivalent of B&H in this part of the world.

Situated adjacent to The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Water Sports Centre (Chinese: 香港中文大學水上運動中心), there is a ferry pier which provides regular ferry service to remote areas including Tap Mun and Ping Chau in the northeast New Territories [1, 2].
Pictured is a 15-second long exposure of the pier at night shot across the harbour from Ma On Shan. As with most super telephoto photos, I was quite surprised to see the details. For example, there is no way for me to see that someone is on the pier from so far away, and yet there he is, sitting by the pier. He appears to be fishing while a woman look on on the side.
Photographed with the 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L + 1.4x Extender, which effectively created a 560mm f/8L lens. With the exception of the Canon EOS 1D lineup, none of the other cameras can auto-focus at this size so it is manual focus. This also means that it is probably not going to be possible for me to use this combo for sports photography.

As we walked by the shore, small boats carrying lumps of fallen branches sail by. Workers were lifting the fallen branches as well as trash from the lake. The hard work of these workers has certainly paid off. The water of the Houhai Lake is as pristine as it could possibly be.

Someone on Flickr commented that an earlier shot of the plane + Aqua Luna Junk would look far better if I crop out the wing bits [1]. But of course they have no way in knowing that I in fact already have a shot which is even better.
For each capture that I make, I make a quick decision at the moment of capture on what it is that I wish to say. For the previous shot, it was about the wings of the plane vs the wing form of the HKCEC, so the contrast of forms is there.
For this shot, it is about the contrast of forms: the straight red sails of the boat vs the curves of the planes accented with reds.
To achieve maximum resolution which I seek, I try to assert an editorial eye at the moment of capture at different zoom length rather to resort to cropping after the fact.

Most of my friends who work in finance work in this building or the IFC next door—whereas I usually come here to dine in many of the restaurants downstairs.
The Exchange Square (Chinese: 交易廣場) is a building complex located in Central, Hong Kong. It houses offices and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange [1].
It is also one of my favorite architectures in Hong Kong—featuring a beautiful striped facade accented by curves and lines.
Unlike IFC (also pictured: the skyscraper going upwards to the clouds to the left) which besides being super tall but otherwise have rather dull character, this cluster of buildings designed by Palmer & Turner and completed in 1985 (Phase 1 + 2) 1988 (Phase 3) is a feast to look at. Like many of the architectures in Central, its entrance is located not on the ground floor but the pedestrian footbridge level.
On the fourth floor is 翠玉軒 The Square, one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong. I was told that the view up there is spectacular also—but I am not a banker so I won’t know for sure. But one of these days I will try to make it up there to see what the fuss is all about. Stay tuned…

Supercell invited me to attend the CRL 2022 World Finals in Helsinki. The production happened at Helsingin Messukeskus.
It’s an impressive production from an event production standpoint. Thematically, the stage design utilized the color scheme seen in the game (red and blue) to create a world within an exhibition space — magically transforming the participants into another world.
It’s a well executed event in terms of branding — how to translate IP on a screen into the physical space.
Messukeskus Helsinki, Expo and Convention Centre is the biggest and best-known convention center in Finland. It is located in the capital city of Helsinki, in the district of Pasila, a short walk northwards from the Pasila railway station.

丁乙 Ding Yi, born 丁荣 in 1962 in Shanghai, is an artist in China most well known for his “Appearance of Crosses” 十示 abstract paintings.
Together with his contemporaries 徐红明 Xu Hongming (b. 1971), 李华生 Li Huasheng (b. 1944) and 余友涵 Yu Youhan (b.1943), these abstract works from China [1] is known as “中國極多主義 (中国极多主义) Chinese Maximalism”, a term coined by 高名潞 GAO Minglu where the intention for abstraction in China differs that from the west [2].
Aside from painting, Ding Yi is also the first Chinese artist to collaborate with French luxury fashion label Hermès and has his own line of silk scarves in the “Hermès Editeur” collection [3].

I took my tripod down to the Ma On Shan Promenade today to do a 360 degree pano. I don’t yet have a pano head so the tiling closest to the lens cannot really be tiled correctly. But here again you see why this place is magical.
On the left hand side you see the Tolo Harbour, with Science Park to the left. And on the right, first in the middle is the Horizon Hotel, followed by some private development properties, the mountain seen nested between all the buildings is Ma On Shan, and to the far right is public housing development—different pricing, same view.
Also pictured in the middle are some crazy Hong Kong people using the fences to hang dry clothes in public. Seriously WTF. So you see what I posted earlier in my stream is not a singular example!

What continues to amaze me about Chinese landscape is that they really look like Chinese paintings. I used to think that the Chinese paintings look the way they do because it‘s a stylistic interpretation. It turns out that I was wrong—they really do look like that.

More photographs shot for personal stock use. The annoying bits is that whoever designed this area decided that it is great to plant some weird plants right outside, so it looks like that it has pubes or something…

Rainbow Teddy (RT) went to Toysrus today to look for Bert + Ernie but he could not find them. Instead, he found Stitch, which SML originally discovered on @Ortelpa’s Instagram feed [1]. The weird thing is, it is in blue, and SML thought that Stitch is in pink.
Stitch: We come in all different sizes and colors. What you saw on Ortelpa’s Instagram is my cousin.
SML: Oh I see.
Stitch: But let me talk to you later, for now I want to play with RT’s toy.
SML: But it was my…
RT: This EOS M is mine—just because I let you borrow my tiny camera does not mean that it is yours, SML. (to Stitch) so where were we, right? You see? This cam is made for our fluffy hands. It is sweet, is it now?
Stitch: Totally! Totally! I am so glad that you found me at Toysrus today. I was bored to tears in there. There is nothing to play with over there—except creepy people hugging and throwing me back to the shelf. Life is awesome here with you, RT.
RT: I am so glad that I found you also—my new BFF: Best Friend Forever!

Slow Photography Sep 17 - Oct 11, 2009
Sunday LES, 237 Eldridge Street, New York, NY 10002

The phrase, "slow photography," might conjure images of large format cameras or glass plate techniques; even the idea of loading film may seem slow considering the efficient speed in which photographic images are created today. However, another connotation may not allude to a technology so much as it does a sensibility — an approach to understanding particular roles that photographs can play, a methodical and drawn out way to produce paintings. The three artists in Slow Photography use photography as a starting point, taking exorbitant amounts of time to produce ostensible "photos": paintings that appear to translate a photographic record, yet are something else entirely.
Lauren Warner's paintings of geyser eruptions revel in nature as a spectacle amusement park, coyly satisfying consumers’ desires for precise moments of ecstasy and picture perfect action shots. Warner's "greatest hits" of Old Faithful are a reminder that nature, in all its glory, can be consumed in ways similar to a sporting event, a spectacle to gaze upon. Lauren Warner (b. 1977, Cincinnati, OH) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Her works were seen most recently in the prestigious Traveling Scholars exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA, where she received a grant to research and document the geysers of Yellowstone National Park.
Daniel Rich's painstaking working process starts with photographs primarily plucked from magazines, newspapers and other media outlets. The artist's exacting methods of enlarging, cropping, cutting, masking and color-coding offers an altered vantage point to understanding media imagery. To replicate a photograph in such a manner would not have the same impact without Rich's particular and disciplined approach and manipulations. Daniel Rich (b. 1977, Ulm, Germany) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. In addition to SUNDAY, his work has been featured at Perry Rubenstein and Elizabeth Dee galleries, New York, NY, as well as the Maramotti Collection, Reggio Emilia, Italy. Rich’s second solo show at SUNDAY is scheduled for April 2010.
Saul Becker's paintings might seem "natural" in that they appear to depict an actual space, however, they are in fact a seamless combination of photographs from disparate landscapes. These photos, along with impressions from the artist's memory, create his measured, deliberate and lonely paintings. Becker has an acute disquiet that portrays the landscape as eerily strong and resilient, but never heroic. The photographic vantage point often acts as a subtle overseer, a reminder that the camera has forever distorted how anyone sees nature. Saul Becker (b. 1975, Tacoma, WA) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. In addition to Horton & Co. and SUNDAY, his work has been featured in solo projects at Artists Space and Volta NY. His work has been discussed in The New York Times, The New Yorker, and NY Arts Magazine, among others. His work is in the collection of Wellington Management, Boston, MA, as well as the Progressive Art Collection, Cleveland, OH.

Diana Eng presented the Fairytale Fashion Collection in a technology fashion show on Wed., February 24, 7PM, at Eyebeam. Models hit the runway while an orchestra of circuit bending DJ’s create music from hacked video game consoles.
The Fairytale Fashion Collection uses technology to create magical clothing in real life. Electronics, mechanical engineering, and mathematics are used to create clothing with blooming flowers, changing colors and transforming shapes. Research and development for the Fairytale Fashion collection are shared online at FairytaleFashion.org as an educational tool that teaches about science, math, and technology through fashion. Fairytale Fashion was created with the support of Eyebeam Art and Technology Center, the leading not-for-profit art and technology center in the United States.
Diana Eng is a fashion designer who specializes in technology, math, and science. Her designs range from inflatable clothing to fashions inspired by mechanical engineering. She is a designer from Bravo’s Emmy nominated TV show, Project Runway season 2 and author of Fashion Geek: Clothes, Accessories, Tech. Diana is cofounder of NYC Resistor hacker group. Diana is currently a resident artist at Eyebeam.
Seriously. I don’t really understand why people in Hong Kong do that. In case you have no idea wtf is going on here, socks are attached to the clothes hanger and being hung dry on the street. And we are not talking about hidden alleys shielded from the street. This is hung right at the entrance to the Heng On MTR station. And they don’t come in numbers. Just two pairs. In the middle of no where.
Crazy good or not? You decide.

A sailor in “crackerjack” white uniform salutes to crew members boarding the ship while another enlisted sailor chats with another sailor named Callen in “Navy Working Uniform”—a camouflage which is digitally printed in multiple colors. According to Wikipedia, this should be the Navy Type III MARPAT [1].
The Crackerjacks—so nicknamed because of the Navy-uniformed figure that adorns the Cracker Jack snack box—are my all-time favorite uniforms worn by military units. Most probably because they feature bell-bottom cuts—a cut of pants which is closed to impossible for me to buy anywhere and I used to custom tailor them for myself—as many of my friends in New York knows.
It is for this same reason why I love the clothes designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier [2], a fashion designer based in France who has had a long history of designing outfits which bears many naval uniform influences.

Sadamasa Motonaga (元永定正; Motonaga Sadamasa) is an artist Japanese born in 1922 in Mie Prefecture (三重県 Mie-ken). He is a founding member of the avant-garde movement 具体 Gutai.
The Gutai group (具体； means "Embodiment") is the first radical, post-war group in Japan. It was founded in Osaka, Japan, 1954, in response to the reactionary artistic context of the time.

This is a time lapse with 1-minute intervals which spans a 24-hour period of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (香港中文大學 CUHK) from the vantage point of SML Universe HKG. A total of 1427 frames full res RAW files were captured to make this 1 minute long video. You can see that objects on water really do move quite a bit, and there are always some bizarre patterns on the water surface. It really is quite incredible.
I photographed this using fullres RAW because I intended to get enough footage for a 4K cinema release years from now. But HDD storage space is starting to become an issue, so I might shoot in fullres JPEG in the future because exporting all these RAW files for JPEG stills was somewhat time consuing as well.
Soundtrack is my own rendition of Bach Counter Fugue No.1 scored with Organ + Harpsichord.

The best time to photograph the basketball courts appear to be at night—because the urban landscape disappears and all you see it the court.
This is a handheld captured stitched using 17 RAW captures. Again, the seams are not perfect, but trust that I will go back with a tripod one of these days.

I didn’t think that it was possible to fit two cameras inside the Lowepro Fastpack 200. I was wrong.
Pictured: Canon EOS 7D + Canon EF 70-200 mm f/4L USM + Canon EOS M + Canon EF 17-40 f/4L USM. Increasingly I am loving these f/4L lenses.
Although image quality is unbeatable with the f/2.8’s, it is no fun lugging deadweight when I travel. Comparatively speaking, the EF 100 f/2.8 Macro (not pictured) has both supreme image quality while being relatively light, thus making it ideal for travel use as well.
This bag is awesome. Highly recommended. As all the lenses and cameras, of course.

What is often rather unclear when photographing in near total darkness is the white point to develop in.
But since most image sensors are configured with 2G 1R and 1B, yellow (R+G) and green (G+G) are pretty good to work with. Here processed using green as layer. It could work just as well in black and white but I prefer the intensity of the warmth from the yellow glow so I pick it slightly towards lime.
Image sensors’ typical config: (where BG/GR together makes one single pixel)
BG BG BG
GR GR GR
This is why blue and reds are normally noisy but the greens in hardware is actually twice as much resolution. At least this is how I see it.

Two runners run side by side at the “You Can Shine 馬拉松新丁育成訓練計劃,” a weekly meetup intended for new comers to get familiarise with marathon runs (aka 長跑 long run in Chinese). It takes place every Thursday at the Ma On Shan Sports Ground at 7pm [1]. A lot of these runners wear shirts with 香港長跑網 longrun.hk logos, a community online for people who enjoy marathons [2].
Taken with the 6D + 100-400 at 12800 ISO — my new walk around setup at night. Processed as BW because grains are more forgiving then color noise for some reasons…
