Leonardo’s Last Supper

Awesome.

The piece, by Peter Greenaway, is pretty impressive. A unique mix of artwork, lighting, music and pojector/cinematography. Short (20mins) but sweet. I found the use of lighting/projector on top of a fixed painted image to be a pretty decent blend of skills. If you are in Melbourne – it is going on for another 2 weeks. http://www.melbournefestival.com.au/program/production?id=3505 Check it out.

visually disturbing

A few visual sights I have found disturbing recently:

- A 5yo girl wearing a miniskirt so short I saw her g string when she bent over.

- A pink toilet bowl on the side of the street that someone had taken the initiative to use (hard rubbish collection, where people dump furniture etc on the side of the road).

- Someone had stuck a photo of a guy on the cow up a tree - http://blog.panedia.com/2007/04/27/docklands-cow-up-a-tree/

-One of the regulars at my local pub spill bill on himself because he was trying to drink while pissing at the urinal.

- An indian cabby getting changed in the back of his cab (fully changed).

-The amount of blood that can be mixed with snot when you have a seriously blocked nose.

-The fungus growing on one of my supposedly ‘bacterial’ plates.

- The ants pouring out of the mini-CBD buildings in the docklands and running to get to the train station (by ants I mean people in suits).

Rio beats Tingalpa for the 2016 olympics

South America is celebrating as Rio De Janeiro wins it’s bid for the 2016 olympic games. This bid would normally be worth celebrating – however they only win over the unsuccessful bid of Tingalpa. Tingalpa, a small suburb in Brisbane, has now failed for 3 olympic bids in a row. More information about TINCOG’s bid can be found here http://tincog.splunge.net.au/
