HAPPY FRIDAY FELLOW CREATORS!

As we are in such close proximity to APPLE, & many of us (LOYALLY)

Use Its Products, who can blame us? Apple has ingeniously made its name SYNONYMOUS with “CREATIVITY & THE CREATIVE LIFESTYLE”

I wanted to share with you this fascinating article,  exposing some of Apples  UNETHICAL business practices going on Overseas in Asia.  It made my heart drop to hear the Presidential Speech, putting Apple on a pedestal(promoting & approving) as horrific human rights violations continue as standard practice.     ROTTEN TO THE CORE (APPLE DOES DAMAGE CONTROL!)

It at least puts things into perspective about the “Semi- Religious” company, so you can honor the lives of those workers who die for us to enjoy the use of touchscreen interfaces at least. Because inevitably the only people that can FORCE company’s to change their business practices, are their customers. In this day and age we are more than just blind consumers.  Spread The Word.

ITS 2012 AND THINGS ARE HEATING UP POLITICALLY.  SHOULD WE STILL BE DEBATING BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS IN THIS DAY AND AGE?

DOESN’T THE CONSTITUTION STATE LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL?

BUT HERE WE ARE HUNDREDS OF YEARS LATER, STILL GOING THROUGH THE SAME MOTIONS. DADT HAS BEEN REPEALED BUT STILL WE FIND OURSELVES LIVING IN A SOCIETY OF INEQUALITY.

ENTER RU PAUL.  A TRUE CHAMPION OF PERSONAL LIBERTIES,  TEACHING EQUALITY, COMPASSION, LOVE, AND UNERSTANDING.  NOT THE SAME OLD RIGHT WING IDEOLOGIES..  RU PAULS DRAG RACE IS AS PROGRESSIVE AS IT GETS.  BREAKING BOUNDARIES, AND BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER.  ITS A BEAUTIFUL THING.  WHO THOUGHT A DRAG QUEEN COULD TEACH PHILOSPHIES THAT MOST OF OUR POLITICAL FANTASISTS SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN.  AMERICA IS A MELTING POT

ACTUALLY THAT IS A FALLACY.  MY 7TH GRADE AMERICAN HISTORY TEACHER SO ELOQUENTLY STATED “AMERICA IS A TOSSED SALAD”   90% LETTUCE, WITH A BIT OF SHAVED CARROT, CUCUMBER, AND TOMATO.

SEPARATE BUT EQUAL DIDN’T WORK.  SO LETS EMBRACE EVERYBODY WITH ALL OUR COMPLEXITIES AND DIFFERENCES.        TODAY

IT’S SAD TO SEE SOME MINORITIES PERPETUATING HOMOPHOBIA, WHEN THEY THEMSELVES HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO INTOLERANCE, ABUSE, & INJUSTICE.  IT SEEMS INCOMPREHENSIBLE TO THEN PROJECT THOSE SAME MONSTROUS ENERGIES  ON ANOTHER MINORITY, AND KEEP THE VICIOUS CYCLE IN MOTION.

DAILY WE HEAR STORIES OF HOMOPHOBIC BEATINGS, THE GAY RAGE DEFENSE, TEENAGE SUICIDES, IN A TIME WHERE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MOVING INTO THE ENLIGHTENED AGE?  SHOWS LIKE THIS PUT A FACE, AND A STORY TO THESE YOUNG AMERICANS, MANY OF WHICH ARE KICKED OUT OF THEIR HOMES, AND DISOWNED BY THE VERY FAMILIES THAT BROUGHT THEM INTO THE WORLD, OVER “RELIGIOUS IDEOLOGIES”   HOW ANY LOVING PARENT COULD DISOWN THEIR FLESH AND BLOOD IS MIND BOGGLING.  SO DISPELLING THE STIGMA AROUND THESE ISSUES ARE OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE.

NO MORE CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS SHOULD FEEL THE ONLY WAY TO FIND PEACE IS TO TAKE THEIR OWN LIVES IN SUICIDE.

RU PAULS DRAG RACE SHOWS THESE CHILDREN THEY ARE NOT ALONE IN THE WORLD, AND THAT THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL, VALUED, CREATIVE, AND LOVED.  WHAT BETTER MESSAGE IS THERE THAN THAT?  ONE OF LOVE, COMPASSION AND ACCEPTANCE.                     HALLELOO!

THIS MIX WILL GET YOU READY FOR THE RUNWAY!

GENTLEMEN START YOUR ENGINES, AND MAY THE BEST WOMAN WIN!

SINCE WE VISITED LOS ANGELES DISTANT STAR HAS BEEN BUSY TRAVELING THE WORLD/ FROM MEXICO CITY TO MADRID GAINING MUCH DESERVED ATTENTION, BUT ALSO SOME UNINTENDED DIGITAL “ATTENTION”  FOCUSING ON ONE WORK IN PARTICULAR…

THE INTERNET IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO HAPPEN TO THE ART WORLD SINCE CAVE PAINTING

IT ALLOWS INSTANTANEOUS RETRIEVAL OF VISUAL INFORMATION, REFERENCES, COMMUNICATION, & COLLABORATION.  THE VERY NOTION OF ART HISTORY BECOMES FRAGMENTED AS ONCE TANGIBLE OBJECTS & TRANSACTIONS BECOME INTANGIBLE.  THE IDEA OF OWNERSHIP OF THE “ORIGINAL” WORK MATTERS TO ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE AUDIENCE.  THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ACCESS ART IN VIRTUAL GALLERIES, PRIMARILY IN JPEG FORM, ON A SCREEN.  IT OPENS UP THE ONCE CLOSED ART SYSTEM TO EVERYBODY, WHETHER THEY REALIZE THEY ARE LOOKING AT “ART” OR NOT.  THE NOTION OF RAREFIED ACADEMIC DISCOURSE SURROUNDING ART HISTORY & THE NATURE OF “WHAT IS ART?” BECOMES TOTALLY MOOT.

THE JPEG OF MONSIEUR PAIN BY ARMANDO ANDRADE TULEDA HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY & SYSTEMATICALLY ATTACKED BY INTERNET BOT SPAM. THESE ATTACKS ARE DECEPTIVE AS THEY PROMOTE THE WEBSITE WHILE EMBEDDING SPAM LINKS. PT I RAFT

924COLLECTIVE COMPILES THE INFORMATION FEEDS ON THESE ATTACKS DIRECTED @ MONSIEUR PAIN & CREATES A NARRATIVE COMPILED BY INTERNET SPAMBOTS, TO CREATE A UNIQUE COLLABORATIVE ARTWORK.  COMMENTING ON THE NOTIONS OF ART HISTORY WITHIN THE INTERNET, & THE INCREASING USAGE & HIJACKING OF THESE INVISIBLE SYSTEMS.
