De nuevo en busqueda. De nuevo caminando con el aire en contra.
En el proyecto anterior tuve que pelear cada centimetro. Poca gente en la comision creyo en el desde el principio pero segui firme, defendiendo aquello en lo que creia. Despues de los resultados, pensaba que este año tendria el aval de poder seguir trabajando segun mi criterio pero no esta siendo asi. Y esta vez no tengo enenrgia para seguir luchando en contra de todo. Asi que, estoy en la tesitura de tirar la toalla, echar atras el proyecto y darles lo que piden........
Las utopias las construyen unos pocos que creen en una idea mientras a su alredederor muchos los miran, se burlan desde su posicion acomodada. Sin luchar, sin arriesgarse pero amparados por la opinion de la mayoria. Cuando las ideas utopicas se convierten en realidad todos somos los beneficiarios de sus resultados.

"Utopia was founded in 1844 by followers of French philosopher Charles Fourier (1772-1837). Fourierism, based on utopian socialism and the idea of equal sharing of investments in money and labor, reached peak popularity in the United States about 1824 until 1846. The experimental communtiy of Utopia dissolved in 1846 due to lack of financial success and disenchantment with Fourierism. John O. Wattles, leader of a society of spiritualists, purchased the land and brought his followers to Utopia and 1847. The spiritualists, who sought secluded areas to practice their religion, built a two-story brick house on the shore of the Ohio River. A flash flood on December 13, 1847, killed most of Wattles' people. The majority of the survivors left the area. Thus the idea of the perfect society, or utopia, died. Henry Jernegan of Amelia, laid out the present village in 1847."
The fifth volume of Stadtklang, the UCL Urban Laboratory music night, took place on Sunday 20 March at Somerset House as part of the 'Venturing Beyond: Graffiti and the Everyday Utopias of the Street' exhibition.
Writer and theorist Kodwo Eshun of The Otolith Group was in conversation with Ayesha Hameed - co-editor of a new book ‘Visual Culture as Time Travel’ and lecturer in the Department of Visual Cultures, Goldsmiths, University of London - and Louis Moreno to discuss 'The Last Angel of History' - a video essay from the Black Audio Film Collective exploring informatics, technics, mutation, posthumanity and extraterrestriality.
The discussion centred on the film’s themes and its critical role in the production of new Afro- and other futurisms. Kodwo also played a playlist especially for Stadtklang offering his take on Afrofuturist sound. Benny Blanco and Nonsense from NTS Radio played sets inspired by cities, science-fiction and utopia.

Departure Bergen (2011-07-20)
The superyacht "Utopia" is built by the Dutch Feadship, and has a special history.
According to the website SuperYachtFan, it was commissioned by the Seattle-based U.S. dollar billionaire Keith McCaw in 2001, who died the following year, before the yacht was finished. The family canceled the order, but the shipyard completed, however the construction of the yacht.
In 2006 it was bought by American businessman Bill Miller. Last year, however, the yacht sold. It is not known what the final selling price was, but these prices are said to have been a little over 50 million euro.
It is not necessarily the boat owner who is traveling to Bergen this week, due to it's possible to rent the yacht for approximately 470 000 euro per week.
According to the website Superyacht Times, the boat is registered in the Cayman Islands. The yacht is 71.6 meters long and has a maximum speed of 16 knots. It should be sleeping room for twelve passengers and a crew of 18 people. The yacht has a helicopter deck, but is still "very much a family boat," according to the website.

For my Utopia project I have chosen to focus on my own personal Utopia and what it means to me. In researching for the brief I have discovered that my personal Utopia is not a physical place that exists but I find my happiness and peace with in others and the people I surround myself with. To convey this idea I have considered many different ideas one of which is through photographing the people who make me happy and showing the Utopia on there physical bodies. I have also looked at peoples bodies and found that "flaws" such as freckles show the human body in it's purest form. I am messing around with the idea of using the freckles to represent the physical places we found each other and where we are from - using freckles to create a map. These are just ideas for now but i'm excited to see where my work will go from here.

The building has been painted with the entire text of Utopia by Thomas More, by local artist Rory Macbeth. It is shortly to be demolished.
They wonder much to hear that gold, which in itself is so useless a thing, should be everywhere so much esteemed, that even men for whom it was made, and by whom it has its value, should yet be thought of less value than it is - Thomas More, Utopia
