Schindler’s List
Schindler’s List is a must-see Steven Spielberg film. It is one of the biggest masterpieces in Holocaust-describing cinematography. In all its horrifying content, it is just astonishingly beautiful, madly sad and above all almost unbelivable for the new generations. We are living in the times where the children aren’t thaught to remember shameful events in human history. They aren’t thaught to honour the vicitms of human mistakes. They aren’t thaught that this world was completely different a couple of decades ago. As a result it is something absolutely unimaginable for them that something of such scale and such impact could have happened.

For young generations, Holocaust is almost like a fairytale. Schindler’s List has a great visual potential within. Imagery that is shown there, is very graphic, very real, containing the truth about the past. Despite of the fact that I’m not the biggest fan of Steven Spielberg, I admire the work he did on Schindler’s List. It couldn’t be done better. It couldn’t be shown better.

So called “Operation Urban Warrior” footage in three parts. This is how it would look like if there would be an emergency situation. Why deploy tons of troops on the streets? Quote: “This is to minimize the amount of people that have to be killed”.



Video art will never die

Screening of experimental video art was held today at Grays School of Art, Aberdeen. The creators of the pieces were 1st year Photographic and Electronic Media students. Despite of the fact that the main theme for the screening was “Ghost In The Machine”, the videos presented an incredibly wide range of interpretations.

The results of two-week work were turned into a massive feast for the eyes showing from almost music videos, through inspirational slideshows and catchy ad-style videos, to psychedelic art.

Videos will be exhibitioned soon in two places around Garthdee campus: on the business school LCD screen in the main hall and on a projector in Grays School of Art itself.

More information will be available later on.



Underskin implants

“My name is Jesse Jarrel. I’m a sculptor, a body designer. Most of my art tends to be attached to human body.”

“I really think that human body is not finished.”

“We are sort of a first spieces that is capable of altering our physical form with own free will.”

Feature about body modifications by Jesse Jarrel.

Jesse Jarrel creates or rather engineers his art in form of body implants made out of Polytetrafluorethylen (teflon) and silicon.

He adds an extensive structural meaning to his under-skin modifications by actually making structures that can contract and expand along with the moving muscles.
