Narkomtiazhporn: The pornographic proto-Stalinism of the Commissariat of Heavy Industry

Heavy industry is always sexy: scorched, hardened bodies covered in sweat, filth, and grime. Sparks spew all about, illuminating in flashes the piping and steel grating that surrounds. There’s no orgasm quite like the panting, hyperventilating surge toward climax one experiences while suffering from black lung. No sex like pneumoconiosic sex.

“I cannot read a book on Kindle. I have to own a book, I have to write in the book. When I read I take notes, I go back over it. You can see my books are full of notes in different pens and colours and times because when I read a book today that I may have read 10 years ago, I read it differently: because I’m different. I have to take notes over time in books, so I own books.”

Located in the commune of Recoleta (Chile), the Children’s Bicentenary Park by Elemental is a wide public space, which answers to the social need of green areas and is tailored to its little users, with wooden slides, tree houses, water playscapes and the former grillwork turned into a red labyrinth.

Llevó consigo un proyector a base de luz solar y siguió la zona de subducción geológica mexicana. “Trabajo de campo. Atlas marginal de geología” es una investigación marginal: un atlas geológico inconcluso que busca establecer relaciones entre el tiempo de la tierra y el tiempo de la ruina.

Theatrics of Psychiatry by Danielle Berwick

Combining a destabilized economic site with the uncomfortableness of psychiatry, this narrative is an experiment in juxtaposing the delicacy of brain health with the architectural invasion of single room occupancies. Through the use of renovated construction equipment, a traveling road show of mental health workers navigates and infiltrates the windows of historic hotels in the fragile downtown eastside of Vancouver.

The invasiveness of psychiatric construction equipment rolling out onto the street provides a daily performance. For ease of steering into the berths, the buildings are retrofitted with ledges and bumpers indicating docking locations. The display of the scissor lift takes on the role of misfit, inhabiting and creating scenes, begging an audience to stare at and criticize psychiatry.

“A few members of the Berkman Youth and Media team also put together a visual map of some of the difficult questions and challenges associated with speakers’ provocations:

The Hyper-Public symposium might best be described as an unconventional amalgamation, disciplines traditionally divergent brought together to discuss the emerging phenomenon of hyper-public space. Each session featured interesting speakers and incited many comments, the engagement from the audience significant and nearly without end. That said, I found myself wondering at the symposium’s conclusion exactly how each speaker connected to the others. Yes, I recognized that each spoke in some way about the concepts of private and public, that many touched upon architectural history and the dangers of extreme publicity. However, the overall arch of the symposium was unclear to me and, as a result, I found myself visually mapping out its contents.”
