I find it cool when people use technology into their arts and performances because they bring their masterpieces to the next level by being able to incorporate and use present technologies to make a new kind of media. They wanted innovation and still keeps on doing it because they do not want their art to be stagnant. They are the kind of artists who are not afraid to try new things and improve their crafts.

He gave an audiovisual masterpiece by using some cutting edge technology and combines it with music to showcase what is the Beck’s Vier ‘Music Inspires Art’ Programme all about. What he did was give mixing to a new artistic horizon and innovation by using rigged beer taps that play samples and 600 LED lit bottles. [Read the rest of this entry...]

I used to play Mario games before on the Nintendo Entertainment System of famously known as NES and the Family Computer. I even finished playing Super Mario Brothers 1 and 2. By the time the 3rd game was release, I already busy doing other kiddo stuffs. I wonder if there are new games of Mario for new gaming consoles like PS3 and XBOX2.
I remembered this game because I was invited to an event, a wedding actually and the motif or theme of the event was blue. So to be different, I asked myself if I would wear a different color? Then it pop-out, the color red. But I came to my senses immediately and refrain the thought (hahaha). Yes, I am a shy person and I cannot do things differently but if I am not, I would certainly even wore Super Mario Brothers Costumes. Yup, the red one at a wedding day (hahahah). Hmm.. I am thinking what if I use a Dumb and Dumber Costumes.
According to study, shyness is actually only in the brain. The study says that 20% of people are born shy because they have a personality trait called sensory perception sensitivity.
