Este proyecto parte como solución a la cuarentena que estamos sufriendo, al tener Asma me veo totalmente forzado a trabajar dentro de casa. Siendo hiperactivo es una especie de condena. Siempre me gustó la idea de mezclar la fotografía con las diferentes artes. Lo que buscaba era lograr algo tridimensional en una bi-dimension y sugerir esa mirada microscópica o totalmente contraría, un escape al encierro, una cura a la cuarentena, al virus y a mí. Un escape abstracto al encierro mental…

This proyect born as an answer to the quarantine, as an Asthmatic I'm really worried and forced to be inside home. I'm hiperactive too so been in this situation is a kind of confinement.
I always liked the idea of mix photography with diferents kind of visual arts. What I wanted was to get something tridimesional in a 2d image and sugest something microscopic or totally opossed like an abstract scape to the mental closure.

On Monday, December 19th, we partnered with Lenovo computers to build out the ultimate art-themed smackdown. Hosted at Villain in Williamsburg, guests stepped into a fully imagined warehouse art party. That night it was all about participation. We created a series of art activities to get guests making art and meeting each other. Guests captured the revelry of the night in Ventikoland’s projection photo booth. After some savory Espolón cocktails and tacos the art battle was ready to begin. 2 amazing artists competed head-to-head in a series of timed challenges and a head-to-head battle of creative awesomeness. Interludes were provided by a pop & lock round girl, battling breakdancers, and a duo of beatboxers.

Voice. Not the voice that tells you what to do. Not the voice on the telephone asking if you’ve got a minute. No. The voice that arrives from someplace you can’t quite locate. And for that, we’re going to Granada. Granada, where the mountains keep their secrets and the streets climb toward the sky. Granada, where the Alhambra sits up there like somebody forgot to turn off the light centuries ago. And in Granada, there was a family. The Morentes. And into that family came Estrella. Now, some children inherit a bicycle. Some inherit a watch.
Estrella inherited flamenco.
Estrella Morente’s father, Enrique Morente, was already one of the great voices of the tradition. Her mother, Aurora Carbonell, was a dancer. So Estrella grew up in a world where rhythm wasn't something you learned on Tuesday nights. It was breakfast. It was dinner. It was the sound of people talking in the next room.
By seven years old, she was singing with the guitar of Sabicas. Seven years old. At an age when most of us were still trying to remember where we'd left our shoes. And then, at sixteen, she stepped onto a professional stage. But here's the strange thing about inheritance. You can inherit the song. You can't inherit the voice. The voice has to become yours. And Estrella's voice did. It carries the old flamenco with it — the ghosts of La Niña de los Peines, Camarón, Marchena, Vallejo, and of course her father — but it doesn't stay politely in the past. It travels. It wanders. It crosses borders.
“En lo alto del cerro”, “Bulerías Of The Bola”, “Tangos de Pepico” and that beautiful “Alcazaba” are tracks showing the elastic voice Estrella possesses. Stretching every corner a flamenco piece is built on. Sharply. And somewhere along the way, she sang “Volver.” That's a good word for a singer like Estrella.
Volver. To return. Because every old song is really a road back to somewhere. Back to Granada. Back to a father. Back to a mother. Back to a room where somebody was singing before you were born. And maybe that's what flamenco is. Not simply music. A way of remembering out loud.
So if you're driving tonight and the road is empty, and there's a little moon hanging over the windshield, and you hear Estrella Morente singing somewhere in the darkness, don't ask where the song is going. Listen for where it's coming from. Because some voices don't travel through the air.

Today we’re celebrating a Belfast boy who sang like he swallowed the whole moon, that’s right -Mr. Van Morrison.
Van the Man. Born George Ivan Morrison in 1945. Grew up in the shipyards of Belfast, where the air was thick with smoke, salt, and Sam Cooke on the radio. His dad brought home American records like they were sacred relics. Fats Domino, Muddy Waters, Mahalia Jackson, you could say young Van got baptized in rhythm and blues.
He started out in a band called Them—not ‘them’ as in ‘those guys,’ but Them as in Here Comes Trouble. They had a song called 'Gloria', three chords and the truth, shouted through a whiskey haze. That song’s been covered more times than a diner seat.
But Van didn’t stop there. He hit the road, solo. Took a left at jazz, a right at Celtic mysticism, and ended up somewhere between William Blake and a Baptist preacher.
Astral Weeks, now, there’s a record. Sounds like it was recorded on another planet. No hits, no hooks, no compromises. Just Van mumbling like a man possessed, chasing ghosts through the backstreets of his own memory. He said he wanted to be ‘born again,’ not in the tent-revival sense, but in the way Coltrane was born again shedding skin, breaking form, becoming something else. He sang about Cyprus Avenue, Madame George, Brown-Eyed Girls and cleaning windows. Sometimes he sounded like he was talking in tongues, sometimes he was. And then there’s Moondance. That’s the sound of falling in love in autumn. A jazz waltz with a pocket full of stardust.
He’s a tricky guy, Van. Doesn’t like to explain himself. Shows up to the gig, gives you an hour of transcendence or an hour of snarling silence, depending on the mood of the gods. But you gotta admire that. Some folks build careers, Van built a world. And if you listen close you might just get lost in it.
So put on one of those transmissions from the other side honeybees, like 'Sweet Thing’ where the bass holds your hand to never let go and the record don’t fit no shelf.

Will algae farms be the farms of the future? Can washed-up jellyfish be repurposed to make a durable material? Are algae the solution for clean energy harvesting? Through performance and talks, we explored aquatic life in the framework of harvesting. Sound and visual artist Sabina Ahn, designer Charlotte van Alem and researcher Dr. Ben van den Broek contemplated these questions and more.

Of the many peaks around the valley, here's a peek at this one through the heavy rain and cloud cover.
PS: It'd be a great favor if any viewers could tell me if the contrast here is too high. I've been editing lately on this laptop which isn't calibrated well, so some light in the right direction, please, thank you.

Taken some time 2-years ago.
Found it in my "save box", and decided to process it out and show case.
This is the famous landmark of Singapore - Rochor Centre, near to a busy place, Bugis.
Rochor Centre is now in the history book of Singapore. As this building will be used for military urban exercise which I have last heard to preserve this amazing architecture and structure.
I hope this picture portray a wonderful and mesmerising historical memory to everyone around the world.
