‘Panda Express’ was born yesterday! This is a new project that creates video responses to news about giant panda porn in China.
Instead of a web cam video response, we shot this project in studio setting on Sony HD cam, one of those monster machine that is high-definition enough to let film experts to give up using film. The team in the project includes Ryota Mori as director and videographer, Won Tae Seo as gaffer. Two panda sisters are Ling Hou and Hannah Ruskin. Thanks for everyones hard work, we starts from 4PM and finished around 9:30 PM. By the end, the ladies in the suits already sweat tons.
The edited footage will be post online soon and invite more responses from you.
New cuts from Han Yan and Lu Jun have arrived, adding into our 50/50 Fashion collection. First item is a blue floral women’s jacket combines with a brown suit, two conflicting styles. Second item is Casual Military jacket, combines two military style jackets and creates an extra large back-pocket space.

Virtual, in Brain Massumi’s term has little to do with reality. Often people like to suggest virtual as an unreal and simulated type of reality. Massumi’s “Parables for the Virtual” book rejects this popular cultural theory and argues for another perception: Virtual is a continuous process of becoming and changing. The position is merely a stopping of a movement. It is in relation to possibility when referring to a past passage. Process is a constant qualitative change that does not derive from position. It is in relation to potential as it unfolds in an unprescribed future. With the distinction of possibility and potential and the emphasis of ontogenesis of movement over position, Massumi suggests processual indeterminacy and social determination, nature and culture, are in a dynamic unity that mutually feeds back and feeds forward each other. He defines virtual within this dynamic unity, the transition of the two modes.
To exemplify this idea here, I will use a current television series show Heroes as an example. (more…)
