おはよう

Hello girls and boys...what a lovely morning, isn't it??

I will tell u about something new for me, the Otaku world.

I just read a fanzine made by students of the university called U-taku Zone. If you don't know about hthe anime and manga culture, U should learned and enjoy about this, there is a lot of tips (like places in Santiago that teach japanse) and beautiful illustrations made by the students. 

One of the articles talk about a gamer bar, called Insert Coin. I had heard about it cause I have a few friends that played a Smash Bros 64 tournament in that place, but I had no idea that anyone could go and drink or eat something. 

I am surprised and fascinated that this kind of activities can be realized, reflecting the passion of all of the people who participate on this magazine. 

 Tell me what you think about otaku culture, or if u have read some manga or saw an anime (I started Evangelion last week)

 Bye bye, here I copy the link of the fanzine http://plataforma.uchile.cl/01/2016/08/30/translations-and-betrayals-manga-and-anime-from-the-graphic-novel-to-the-audio-visual

My Dear Friend

                                                                          

                                                                            

Hello Bloggerssss

Today I will wrote about something, or better said, someone really important to me. His name is Andreas and he is one of my best friends. I have really special and unique friends, I really feel the support of them in my life, so today I will tell u a little bit about the friendship with this unusual personality. 

 

I met him for the fisrt time in school when I was in 5th grade, we were in the same group of friends, but we get really really closer in high school, I remind whole afternoon in his house teaching me how to do magic tricks with the cards, or talking about science (or how to save the world with our inventions) In the last two years of school we had (and still having) very similar tastes in the musician that we heard, Spinetta, Tool and Pink Floyd were the soundtrack of that years hahah.

Andreas Krumpoeck -alias the viking- is one of the better hearth that I have ever met, we are really different in a lot of aspects, but we are always in contact talking about life and science, like the old time. That's one of the important part of our friendship, we were always listening and learning about the other one...now he's studying mechanical engineering, so he teach me a looot about interesting thinks about crazy math stuffs. Dredius if u are reading this... hello and love to you, see you in a few days!

The Spot

Hi guys... how are u? this weekend I spent all the morning in a place that it's very special for me in Santiago, El Persa... so I would like to express myself about  all I like of this unique spot.

 I don't remember when I come for the first time, but since I was a child my mother come with me and my sister along this neverending market located in Franklin. I still maintain the tradition of going with her to buy furniture or some "cachureos" and if u have luck, find some treasure.

I feel an atraction for this place cause I can feel the beat of the city, the movement, and the manifestation of the garbage, the junk -toilets of all kind of sizes, plastic flowers, jewelry, vinils, tools and whatever u can imagine- put it like a piece of art, reminding u the cycle of the materials. The people putting all this kind of pieces in the middle of the street and screaming the slow prices it’s part part of the morning travel.

If u go to the oldest "galpones" or ex-factories, you could talk with seller with fascinating stories, real antique collectors that knows the history of eachs of it's objects.  I really hope that this popular tradition would  maintained it over time. 

Primitive Dialogues in Modern Times

I try constantly to improve myself in art matters,cause I think there is a lot of artist around us, maybe ourselves who still don't realize that we have something to express, and the words aren't enough.

 Since I was a kid I really like art, in all its forms of expression -theater, sculpture, literature, music and a long etc.-  It´s took me a loong time decided which artist I preffer, of course I don't have A favorite one, so I will choose one of the long (eternal) list of masters. 

I will talk about a new yorker artists that was an inspiration a lot of people ...its name was Jean Michel Basquiat. 

Borned on December 22 in Brooklyn, 1960, Basquiat was one of the precursor of the graffitti movement in NY in the late 70's, under the tag name of SAMO, he  attracted the attention in the downtown art scene. With a Puerto Rican mother and a Haitian-American father, their roots where always representative on his art.

He cautivate important elite artist. He contributed with different ones, including the famous pop art painter Andy Warhol. As his populatity, their personal problems and the abuse of drugs get increasing.  In August of 1988 Jean Michel died of a drug overdose at the age of 27 years old.

I found  this impresive artist searching on the internet about the history of graffitti. I love the work of Basquiat cause it remind me the primitive manifestation of art, mixted with the power and the bomb of information that it's the city. If u see some of his painting u could see his blowminding  -almost literaly-  The contracts of strong colours put together to throw up a search... or maybe an answer to all the chaos.
