La guerre des masques/ Mask Wars
#masks #covid19 #pandemic
Masking is ubiquitous in Asia. No, it’s not a perfect protection against Covid-19, but it does keep numbers down, and it’s a very safe technology that, theoretically, should not be controversial. Yet in Western countries it often is … so much so that masking has now become a flash point of the culture wars.

Toujours et partout en Asie, les gens portent les masques. Mais pas au Occident. Une erreur?
The War on Smog, XI
The four opening photos in this clip here were all shot in the past week. They capture the eerie warmth South Korea is experiencing this fall; spring flowers blooming in late November because of global warming. Moreover, military activity significantly increases carbon emissions. Is there a connection between these two phenomena? Full video at YouTube: youtu.be/Mj1lJfbNJtU

Family Maps/ Cartes de famille
Ten years ago, almost to the day, a medical team at Montreal General contacted me and told me if I wanted to see my brother one more time, I should come to Canada within the next week. So I booked a ticket…

거리의 마술사/ Street magician/ Magicien de rue/
Street Magician: PicGall 12. Full video: youtu.be/8M9AxkoDbxU via @YouTube. #streetphotography #a7iv #a6400 #sonylenses #sonycamera #photography #photooftheday #seoul #urbanliving
A minute-short taken in Seoul. Camera: Sony a6400. Lens 18-105 f4 PZ.
There was some discussion recently on the strengths and weaknesses of the 18 105 for video.
The following was shot on November 6/22 when we chanced upon a street magician in downtown Seoul. I wasn’t expecting this, and shot the video with the focal length at around 105mm. I didn’t have a gimbal, so the quality is due to the lens’s OSS.

THE HIGHLY ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY NARRATIVE
Baram Writer 1
This is part one of an early attempt at (filmic)-image-and-text narrative.
I’d been very interested in underground comics before; what people now term graphic fiction. But I wanted this project to have a cinematic feel to it.
Getting it published was an ordeal. Getting published is usually an ordeal, of course. But I was surprised by how much resistance there was at lit mags (including lit mags that published visual art) to this kind of narrative strategy.
Ultimately, it was published in a fine American lit magazine called Dark Sky. This was in the mid-aughts, when there were still high hopes for an online literary culture that could — in terms of cultural prestige and capital — equal print literary culture. But the online magazines were largely ignored by critics, arts journalists and academics. Dark Sky finally folded. In order not to lose the work, I put up a version at one of my own sites.
There are also a couple of moviepoem versions of this project.

LE RÉCIT DE SCÉNARIO TRÈS ILLUSTRÉ
Baram Écrivain 1
Il s'agit de la première partie d'une première tentative de narration (filmique) d'images et de textes.
J'avais été très intéressé par les bandes dessinées underground auparavant ; ce que les gens appellent maintenant la fiction graphique. Mais je voulais que ce projet ait une sensation cinématographique.
Le faire publier était un ordre. Être publié est généralement une commande, bien sûr. Mais j'ai été surpris par la résistance des magazines éclairés (y compris les magazines éclairés qui publiaient de l'art visuel) à ce type de stratégie narrative.
En fin de compte, il a été publié dans un excellent magazine américain appelé Dark Sky. C'était au milieu des années 2000, alors qu'il y avait encore de grands espoirs pour une culture littéraire en ligne qui pourrait - en termes de prestige culturel et de capital - égaler la culture littéraire imprimée. Mais les magazines en ligne ont été largement ignorés par les critiques, les journalistes artistiques et les universitaires. Dark Sky a finalement plié. Afin de ne pas perdre le travail, j'ai mis en place une version sur l'un de mes propres sites.
Il existe également quelques versions de films de ce projet.
Le narrative à scénario très illustré/ The highly illustrated screenplay narrative
#novel #publishing #literature. 2/The recent PRH merger trial underlines publishing is going through turmoil; the result in no small measure of declining fiction sales. My idea is a new form of graphic fiction should be established: the highly illustrated screenplay narrative.
#roman #édition #littérature. 2/ Le récent procès de fusion PRH souligne que l'édition est en pleine tourmente ; le résultat dans une large mesure de la baisse des ventes de fiction. Mon idée est qu'une nouvelle forme de fiction graphique devrait être établie : le scénario narratif très illustré.
