Panel Discussion
MAKING UP presents Fiona Raby and Bruce Sterling, two of the world’s most influential voices at the intersection of fiction and design, joined MADE UP curator Tim Durfee to discuss tactical anachronisms, designing for ambiguous reality, and the re-emergence of speculative practice in the 21st century. Moderated by Anne Burdick, MDP Chair.
Made Up: Design’s Fictions was staged in the 3,000 square foot, 50 foot high Wind Tunnel Gallery at South Campus from January 29 - March 20, 2011. Made Up is work of major and emerging international practices that forecast, hypothesize, muse, skylark, role-play, put-on-airs, freak-out or otherwise fake-it to produce work that is relevant to our increasingly confusing and accelerated world. Selections included a self-recording, 1:1 map of questions and propositions: dreams as program; science fiction as precedent; cults of commerce; objects as ideas; truth-revealing jokes; false histories; and elaborate scenarios.

Pausierende Straßenkünstler (Pantomimen) in der Wiener innenstadt.
Street artists (male and female pantomime) in the city of vienna, austria.
Rubbish art, weak satire. But quite good fun to sit down next to while having a cup of tea, and uncannily realistic in the flesh.

we live in a strange world, my friends.
inverse-vertical-itis. fear of being upside down. (it doesnt have a -phobia name, isnt that weird?) it sounds like a madeup term. but its not! because i googled it. and google is always right.
Dead Tired Clawdeen wearing one of her fashion packs. I loved the 1st Wave DT dolls because of their simple faceups. It was a refreshing change from the usual heavily madeup faces (though I love those, too, of course). What I didn't care for were the dull pj's the dolls came in - making them perfect cadidates for the fashion packs.
Also, it's been a while since I took some pics of Clawdeen, so she needed some attention around here.

Trained in China, Shi Xinning’s paintings are influenced by both social realism and European styles. Using the authoritative qualities of both, Shi embarks on history painting with a twist. Taking his imagery from iconic press photos, Shi’s canvases faithfully represent the world as we know it: the Yalta Conference in familiar 40s sepia tone, the Queen Mum in carriage emblazoned in newspaper black and white. It’s only on second glance that Shi’s alterations become evident. Nestled between Churchill and FDR and conversing happily with royalty, Mao takes his place amongst the great leaders of the 20th century.
In China-fying history, Shi investigates dynamics of both the west’s Eurocentric, and China’s isolationist past world views. Humorously illustrating the Chairman’s import and omnipresence in 20th c Chinese society Shi’s insertion of Mao into the fabric of western collective conscience seems entirely plausible. Infusing the totems of propaganda currency with a sense of normality and humility, Shi re-authors the most cherished moments of collective memory with a ‘Forrest Gump’ effect, creating a specious mythology based in Hollywood schmaltz and unabashed optimism.

Today we rode the E&N dayliner to Courtenay, Bc and return. Ten hours well wasted! This was our annual, dayliner upisland excursion. Most years we just ride the budd car to Qualicum where a two-and-a-half hour layover can be enjoyed to walkabout and enjoy a nice lunch. Inasmuch as we've visited Courtenay overnight for the past thee years, we decided it was time to do the whole 140-mile (railway distances are measured by mileage markers) distance from Victoria to the end-of-the-line. we enjoyed a great day thanks inpart to the friendly and efficient CPR rail staff.
The layover time at Courtenay Station was brief but we did have time to eat our picnic lunch indoors. We were running 17-minutes late (arriving at 13:02 instead of 12:45) due to autumn leaves on the rails. As the train drives over them, they release oils which make the track so slippery the wheels just spin. On certain grades along the route, his brought the train almost to a standstill. An interesting phenomena when travelling at this time of the years. We were lucky: yesterday's train was 30-minutes late. We madeup a bit of time during the return trip arrving at the Blue Bridge only 10-minutes late.
The highlight of the trip for us was waving at the kids who live along the route. Bentley & Sharon's home is on View Royal hillside with a commanding view eastward toward the E&N line. They are familiar with the trains comings&goings but seldom get phonecalls from anyone who may be aboard. This all changed today! Anyway, we enjoyed waving to family members gathered on the front deck waving back. Life's neat, aint it?
P.S. Thanks to Bentley who was driving his unit westbound underneath the Helmcken Rd trestle just as we passed overhead. Serendipity for certainty.
