jyotease

xcuse the dust, i'm sto_oned.
this was my last morning waking up at 241a beverley.







hmmmmmmm permafried.

As soon as summer school ends- which is about a week, I move back to the suburbs of Mississauga. I've decided to pay off my visa instead of travel, and hopefully buy a laptop.
I wish I could wake out of this permafried state, but alas, addiction pulls me back in. How do you know if you're not an alcoholic?

I'm sorry if I've been a terrible friend. All I want to say is that I feel much better now.

I WANT A DOODLE PARTY

last years TUFF winner- shits fuckin' amazing. srsly amazing. i think they used some 3D program to animate this.

3 forms of subordinate femininity important to our hegemonic construction masculinity

a. compliance
b. nurturance
c. empathy

i'm not sure if i entirely agree with these. i mean, if you love someone, don't you do these things anyways? oh , bob connell, shed me some light...

OCAD has cured my unemployment problem. I am once again working with Informations Technology. If you are curious about my job, you can watch this couple minute clip from the IT Crowd (British sitcom) that summerizes it perfectly.

AH SO , i drunkenly shoved Suzanna's D70 battery into my D80, even though the batteries are the same model, and I recognized for a week that the two are not compatible. (Although the d70 does take the d80s battery). What now?

Polaroids,


& more film.
I'm out on $$$ and I don't work at Black's anymore, so TIMES'R'ROUGH, but it's been a while, hasn't it?

i want to write, talk, express how i feel, but as i open my mouth, or press down on a few keys, i begin to see how pointless the effort of relief will bring me no change,

ah, ah, aaaaaaa

you see



de-la-da

VICTORIA DAY

this week has been incredibly busy for me, and i'm glad to be back in mississauga for the long weekend.


it started with Michael, my director, inviting us interns to his house on the ward-island. i can't begin to express my gratitude towards michael; he's so fucking awesome/cool. his house was just as i imagined it, slightly messy, and filled with unusual artifacts. it was very reflective of his studio at 401 richmond. i would have taken more photos but the lighting was terrible, so i wasn't in the mood to snap, but here's a couple.





he installated these rings in the living room so his daughter could practice gymastics whenever she wants. pretty amazing!



the next few days i participated in Ontario Centre of Excellence's (OCE) conference. it was probably one of the best conferences/conventions i've ever been to despite the lack of free swag. it was two day event that ended off with open bar each night. it was like a tradeshow for developing technologies within the fields science, health, environmental/industral design, and new media. i more or less feel as though i've seen what the future could look like.



why was i there?
i went on behalf of our studio, and OCAD to promote this one project that the OCE has funded us that allows anyone! to make a digital hologram. OCE has an interest in supporting these innovative developements in technology becuase these projects have the potential to revoluvtionize our lives. by creating cutting-edge technologies, OCE hopes to create a stronger economy for ontario. i would write about what i saw there, but there's too much to cover, and the photos are on ken's camera.

i met ken there, an industrial design student from OCAD who programmed this decromatic newsbox. he was really cool!



walking home from day two of the conference, really drunk, i thought to myself "i've always wanted to go to hooters" and coincidentally my roommates called me from hoosters asking me to join them. they ate all you can eat wings, and i got even more drunk :(



thrusday night alysha invited elise and i to monte clark for a party. our assoication with alysha gave us many more free drinks than we could have asked for. it was a nice night out in the distillery.

apart of last night's haze

One of my pals Adrian Forrow recently got picked up by American Illustration! It's the equivalent for a model to get picked up by Ford, or a artist to be represented by the MoMA. I feel so proud of him, and anticipate the next few weeks, as he's prepares for two shows.
He's such a nice, hard working dude, and I couldn't imagine this opportunity better suited for anyone else.




Adrian, as well as Jim Mezei, and Kellen Hatanaka will be having an opening at Keeping 6 Contemporary (938 Bathurst Street) on Friday, May 15, 2009 at 6:00pm.

also i apologize to anyone who's call i haven't returned. i've been forgetting my phone at home most days.

TOPIX - an amazing fuckin' studio that Michael Page (friend, and director of the studio i intern at) has affiliation with, recently unveiled Sun Chips new green washing campaign. It doesn't sound exciting, but they tracked the bag of the chips disintegrating over the course of 14 weeks, and made this. It's green washing, but it's legit!



also after spending hours of my time with finlay, watching youtube videos and commercials, i have decided to give composting, and digital holograms a go. i was going to try to focus my talents to a few things this summer, but, i just get so whisked away by other mediums.
i guess that means i need to get a mac labtop and dual boot it asap.

HIHIHIHIIIII

making a hologram of Nana for my series THE NEW VISION
it's a tentative, working title.
we were just as stoned as i am right now before shooting.

on a good note:

-paula dawson has shown some interest in the holograph coffee book we're putting together
-i found these in the scanner at wrk today (rm 665!):

on a bad, worrisome note:
-i'm crunched for time
