80后，韩梅梅结婚了，新郎不是李雷，知道不？
曾是他们初中英语教材中两个主要人物的“Li Lei”和“Han Meimei”被一套新的英语教材沿用。但令人惊讶的是，新教材中的Li Lei和Han Meimei已不再是小朋友，而是跟着80后们一起步入了青年时代。Han Meimei更嫁作了他人妇。
这一情节令不少80后颇感意外和遗憾，因为按照他们的设想，“他们本应该是一对儿。”
LiLei and Han Meimei
Han Meimei当妈了 Continue reading »
Goats on trees are found mostly only in Morocco. The goats climb them because they like to eat the fruit of the argan tree, which is similar to an olive. Farmers actually follow the herds of goats as they move from tree to tree. Not because it is so strange to see goats in trees and the farmers like to point and stare, but because the fruit of the tree has a nut inside, which the goats can’t digest, so they spit it up or excrete it which the farmers collect. The nut contains 1-3 kernels, which can be ground to make argan oil used in cooking and cosmetics. This oil has been collected by the people of the region for hundreds of years, but like many wild and useful things these days, the argan tree is slowly disappearing due to over-harvesting for the tree’s wood and overgrazing by goats.

据英国《新科学家》杂志报道，没有一项物理学基本定律指出时间应该只“前进”而不“后退”，但我们却从未见识过时间逆转的现象，类似破裂的鸡蛋突然间重新复原，温水中形成冰块这样的事情不过是科幻影片中的情节。一项新研究显示，时间箭头是量子力学“健忘症”的一种结果，这种“健忘症”擦除了时间逆转留下的所有痕迹。
熵越高 信息越少
形象地说，我们的时间感被热力学第二定律“捕获”。根据这一定律，包括从一个被隔绝的盒子内的粒子到整个宇宙的任何封闭系统，都只会朝着更为混乱的局面发展。代表混乱程度的状态量——熵只会呈上升趋势。 Continue reading »
I was Trevor Brown when I was a child.
I had Barbie dolls, jointed arms and thousand-yard come-hither stares, plastic legs that were easily broken and discarded amongst crayons and rubber Princess jewelry at the bottom of my toybox. Barbie now with a new haircut, shorn with red safety scissors and her tiny doll head exposed, black magic marker painting her lips and electrical tape tightly wound around her curvy synthetic body. I think, as a rule,most forms of doll extreme makeovers performed by little girls are done to Barbie and her counterparts , we are more careful with our babydolls, we tend to nurture them and adore them until we get our first Barbie, and then they are thrown into a pile to be forgotten, they have no pink Trans Am, no townhouse with working elevator, no breasts to be at once fascinated by and terrified of.
But Trevor plays with babydolls too.
I had seen his work in Answer Me! in 1994 and was reintroduced to his work when he illustrated the cover of a book I was in that was published in 2000. Pigtailed nurses crouching in corners surrounded by shiny medical implements, amputee latex-clad fetish doll parts piled in a corner, tiny, gossamer winged fairies impaled on metal spikes with blood gushing from their chest cavities. Bruised and bandaged with braces and cervical collars, black-eyed dolls squint at the viewer, a necklace of barbed wire and sharp razor blades encircling their tiny throats.
“Pornographic”, “Disturbing”, “Exploitative”, “Offensive”..
I don’t feel it. Maybe because I’m a japanophile and have a penchant for anything girly. I am also quite fond of medical art, and medical equipment as fashion accessories. Trevor’s art is all of this, cute and shocking and humourous and … I think his art is for girls. Girls get it. Girls who mutilated our Barbies and ourselves, girls who carved the names of teenage boyfriends into our forearms with dime store razorblades, girls who pierced our own noses while sitting on the bathroom counter, sucking on a cherry blowpop to distract us from the pain.
Girls who wear legbraces and are always on the lookout for the perfect bloody skin. Girls who swoon over Blythe dolls and have Tokyo dreams.
We are honoured that Trevor has allowed us to showcase his work at The Hotel Dare. All images are copyright Trevor Brown. For more of his amazing art, please visit
This room was made possible by Gattina Dumpling, Daniel Luchador, Katat0nik Pidgeon, Marie Lauridsen, Allegory Malaprop and Helianthus Mesmer.

艺术玩具，玩具中的奢侈品，在欧美已形成一股蔚为壮观的潮流。不少世界闻名的当代艺术家纷纷投身其中，乐此不疲。在国内，艺术玩具也开始受到艺术界的关注，民间收藏热方兴未艾。 Continue reading »
手机电影节是个好消息对我们来说。我也以搜集了下这样的资料。日本举办首届手机电影节是在2007年12月7日——9日。
日本举办首届手机电影节由东京艺术大学主办。据组委会一名负责人介绍，电影节上将放映来自１８个国家和地区的１５０多部手机电影，最长作品片长４５分钟，最短的不到１分钟。这名负责人说，大部分作品来自亚洲。作品主题包罗万象，其中一部参选作品由一群学生把手机放在一个冰箱内拍摄完成。用手机拍摄影像轻而易举，但把它们制成一部连贯的电影可没那么容易。 Continue reading »
今天读了史密斯的时间的由来，我突然对时间有了一个新的幻想。
时间是做什么的呢？我用有无神论的方法来阐述下，时间是个与宇宙同时被创造出来的东西，是一次偶然的缘分成就了时间和宇宙的出现。他们从此就客观存在了，他俩像兄弟，不离不弃。宇宙是空间上的，时间就是时间上的。
那时间和宇宙又是谁创造出来的呢？别逼我！再逼我，我就只能有神论啦。
空间提供给了我们地方和生存的可能性，我们出生到死都在苦苦回忆着自己将要到来到世间做些什么事情，似乎有点感觉但又模糊不清，当然很多多是完全丧失记忆啦，忘记了自己来到世间是要做什么的，毫无目的的跟着风… Continue reading »
