(2019) MMORPG Roach Warriors

Here's an satirical/promotional illustration introducing the most popular MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Onstreet Role-playing Game) in Hong Kong this summer, which teens can role-play masked roaches for free, and go on streets to vandalize, to assault pedestrians, and to destroy properties, all GTA (Grand Theft Auto) style.

The back story behind it simply is everything the Roach Warriors do is righteous under the banner of freedom and justice.

I'd always wanted to be able to do my work, edit my photos, surf the net etc OUT of my house, and decided that it's finally time to invest in a small netbook...

So at the local PC fair, I bought this Lenovo S10-2 IdeaPad netbook (which I'm going to call "Lenny Lenovo")!

It wasn't exactly smooth-sailing from the get-go, as they'd given me a faulty machine. But I was able to exchange for a proper working netbook today, so it's all good...

And now I'd just installed Adobe Photoshop in it, and despite popular belief, it actually worked pretty smoothly!

But the best part will always be that I could snap a pic of something at the park for example, transfer the photo via the memory card to the netbook, do basic processing on it, and upload onto the Internet! Just like at home! :)

POIKKAL KUTHIRAI - FAMOUS TAMIL FOLK ART FARM

Folk arts typically closely represent the culture and heritage of a region. In Tamil Nadu, the dance form of Poikkal Kuthirai Aatam is one such art. Also called Puravai Aatam, this is one of the oldest dance forms of the state that has been the birthplace for various innovative arts.As a community art, this dance is popular in villages across Tamil Nadu and has blended with the day-to-day life of the people. Unlike Karagattam and Kavadi Aatam, both religious dances, Poikkal Kuthirai is mostly performed as an entertainment during festivals. It may also be performed as part of religious celebrations; for instance, in honor of Ayyanar, the Hindu idol that is worshipped to protect the village.

Poikkal Kuthirai Aatam is performed bearing a lightweight dummy horse around the dancer’s waist. This dance may be called Puravi Naatiyam (Horse Dance), Poi Kuthirai (False Horse) and Marakkaladal (Wooden Leg Dancing). It is also popular in states other than Tamil Nadu. The dance is known as Saithikoda in Orissa, Theelu Gurram in Andhra Pradesh, Kachikoti in Rajasthan and Kuthikali in Kerala.

HISTORY

It is said that Poikkal Kuthirai Aatam was introduced to Tamil Nadu by the Maratha kings. There are also references to this art form in early Tamil epics. The dance is one of the 11 dances performed by Madhavi, a character in Silappadikaram. This work was written in the 2nd century and is one of the ancient epics of the Tamil language. References to Poikkal Kuthirai Aatam can also be found in the epic Tholkaapiam. In one section, the heroine’s parents ban the marriage between their daughter and her lover. The hero dons a horse-like structure made up of maple leaves and starts protesting in the streets to marry the girl. Mentions in these epics indicate that this art form originated many centuries ago.

There is a legend that Goddess Durga used to perform this dance. To take revenge, her enemies disguised themselves as poisonous snakes and scorpions, and planned to bite her while dancing. Durga was aware of their plan and for self-protection she tied wood around her legs and danced. As a result of heavy dance steps made by her, her enemies died. This gave the dance the name of Marakkaladal, or Wooden Leg Dancing. Later, the dance was renamed Poikkal Kuthirai.

AESTHETICS

The dummy horse is typically made up of jute, cardboard, paper and glass. It contains a hole into which the dancer can fit. The legs of the horse are, of course, the legs of the dancers, but it looks as if the dancer is sitting on a horse. The dancers also don wooden legs that sound like the horse’s hooves. The dummy horse is adorned with colorful skirts that swing around with the movements of the dancers.

This dance requires extensive training and skill as the wooden legs constrict one’s movement and are also heavy. In some places, such as Madurai, there is a practice of performing the dance without wooden legs and they dance barefoot, wearing only anklets.

This dance is typically performed in oorvalam, meaning procession, which covers all the areas surrounding the temple during festivals. Dancers often portray kings and queens and sport swords. Sometimes, the dance is performed by groups of eight or ten dancers standing in circles or lines.

Poikkal Kuthirai Aatam is performed to the accompaniment of Naiyandi Melam. A Naiyandi Melam musical ensemble typically includes two nathaswarams (wind-pipes), one sudhipetti, and one thaalam, and several drums played with drum sticks such as thavils, pambai, kidumutti or sinukuchatti. This is the style followed in Kongunadu region of Tamil Nadu. In southern parts of the state, an urumi—a drum with two conical heads—is also used along with the other instruments.

STALWARTS

Mr. Ramakrishnan, who lived in Thiruvayaru (near Tanjavur), was the first person to practice Poikkal Kuthirai Aatam.

POPULARITY

Poikkal Kuthirai Aatam is famous all over Tamil Nadu and most parts of India.

M.G. Ramachandran (former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu) was a great fan of various forms of dances. Poikkal Kuthirai Aatam was one of his favorites.

Sculptures of Poikkal Kuthirai Aatam can be seen in Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu, near Loyola School, Valluvar Kottam, Cathedral Road and Tirumalai Road.

Poikkal Kuthirai Aatam was made popular in the state of Tamil Nadu, and particularly in Chennai, by the Chennai Sangamam festival a few years ago.

righteo, so much to describe here, thanks to jon aka depoch of deitch gallery.

this area of the exhibition is located down a freaky ladder in the basement. the wires you see are all fed from the tv tower upstairs and connected to power. apparently 50% of the vcr pile on the ground are not functional, but who cares - they are all hand painted.

the napkins tacked on the walls are the work of barry mcgee's father and collected over several years. very, very neat pen drawings (of mostly faces and body parts), and very, very sweet concept.

"one more thing". artist barry mcgee aka graffiti legend twist on exhibit at deitch projects.
