The death of a reality show

Television is a mass distraction’s weapon.
The world is a company maintained by many “white-collars”, separated by role and power; it’s an ocean of sharks!
From the gutter of this “winning class”, emerge lords of Television; chairmen, shareholders, leaders and showmen.
The weaker protected by the strong.
Television must be clear not dirty, must have above all a positive content; not only give financial gain by audience.
Many people argue that in Italy there isn’t freedom of information, there will be a reason…
Maybe they refer to Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, owner of the main 3 Italian TV networks; he uses them to control the thoughts and minds of Italian people.
He filtering and if necessary censoring; pictures and words that come from other political faction…
Also torpedoing serious and honest reporters, whose only fault is to do their job.
Today, the Television gravitating around reality shows, the striking example of “TV trash”.
What have this programs? Insanity!
BORING, BORING, BORING.
The Big Brother 10th Italian edition, begins in a few hours…
Can we keep or break down this Babel’s tower?
You can make a difference!
Television tomorrow could be a great free communication mean…
With documentaries, educational programs, of true culture, innovative but current.
What we pass on to our children?

The Woosters

the woosters 2

On January 2000 began adventure of Wooster Collective (www.woostercollective.com)…

This website concepted by Marc Schiller and her wife Sara from Soho NYC, it’s not only a blog where posting graffiti pictures; it’s more!

Wooster Collective is for us countless artists; a second home, a community, a place to work in synergy. Personally i like consider it a virtual art gallery too, where the criticism doesn’t exist except by the visitor.

Sara and Marc are wonder people, humans like professionals… I don’t think about it, because they are young and open minded; but  they are a great support  for all artists that discovering world!

I believe about the birth year isn’t a case, in 3rd Millennium rise; writing like 1 of 4 elements by Hip Hop gets a surge on the evolutionary ladder of modern art and become street art. No more segregation inside a crew!

Everyone by different race, culture and artistic background can make art and street art too; testing and assembling different techniques and materials to get the perfect masterpiece.

Today this is Wooster Collective’s traffic rank by Alexa; www.alexa.com/siteinfo/woostercollective.com.

Well…

In the end, this is my personal tribute to Sammy (Samantha’s nickname; the daughter of  Sara and Marc), Sara and Marc Schiller.

Thanks so much!

Always & Anywhere

In the last August, during my Spanish tour…

I’m stopped in Madrid for 5 days.

I returned back to Madrid for the 2nd time, 2 days were devoted to revisit the art temples. A day I went at Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, I carried a bag with a surprise inside to be extracted at the opportunity time.

Crossing the enter, I felt very small to front giant artists like Salvador Dalì, Juan Mirò, Pablo Picasso etc. On the walls. I weren’t worthy to stay inside musem, thinking about what I would done!

Gravitating from hall to hall, I remembered Banksy’s action photograms in 2005 at Metropolitan Museum of New York, when he installed with intrusiveness a canvas on wall, Banksy’s canvas represented a noble of 1700 with in hand a spraycan, and Peace symbol with phrase “NO WAR” on the background.

I was attempted and curious too about Banksy tried adrenalin when make her action…

I didn’t want a glory moment, because I was and I’m nothing!

But…

To communicate a message.

I went to goal in the hall of most famous canvas; “Guernica” by Pablo Picasso. The masterpiece; oil on canvas 3.54 x 7.82 metres and in collective imagination is considered a riot painting against war. It was commissioned by Spanish Republican Government in 1937 for exibition in Paris. Picasso inspired to violent raid on the basque city of Gernika-Lumo, by German pilots during the Civil War.

I trowed up from bag my tribute to Master Picasso; an acrylic, paint marker and spray on canvas 0.25 x 0.35 metres entitled “Always & Anywhere”. Taking opportunity time I left it down wall on the right!

My action like Banksy was targeted…

If in 1937 Pablo Picasso painted a great canvas against war, then in 2009 John J. Mahyo paints a small canvas to support universal love.

Always & Anywhere

Zaragoza, new city of lovers!

lovers

Hi,

Now I stay in Logrono (connected with a Wi-Fi network cracked called “cibertecajvigon” in Avenida de Jorge Vigon), Spain…

In the last week  I was in Zaragoza about an art work project, and I’m discovered all downtown!

I have tell that city is more wonder after restyling work of the Expo 2008, so…

After crossing Puente de Santiago on the Ebro river, I’m stopped in Plaza Cesar Augusto, I saw a guy kissing her girlfriend under a water jet on top trowed up by mouth of a iron frog settled on a bench at the foot of the statue of Cesar Augusto (founder of Zaragoza).

I think that a new love ritual?

I don’t know, but I believe that Zaragoza is new city after Paris, Venice for…

Dream, live and love.

I have a dream…

“This time we want to talk about the men and women of every color and creed who serve together, and fight together, and bleed together under the same proud flag. We want to talk about how to bring them home from a war that never should’ve been authorized and never should’ve been waged, and we want to talk about how we’ll show our patriotism by caring for them, and their families, and giving them the benefits they have earned.”

(From “A More Perfect Union” by Barack Obama. Philadelphia, PA / March 18, 2008.)

To who hung to a world without races, to a multicultural society, to an evolution concepted in right manner, it chooses Barack Obama…

Young and charismatic embodiment of the American dream had from Martin Luther King on 28th August 1963 in Lincoln Memorial to Washington D. C., under a sky without clouds.

Barack Obama is an emerging leader of large change, to Chicago where arrived from the Columbia University of New York, had opportunity of to work the social projects in the poor districts of the South Side. He has in turn the conviction of to be able really to become the first president multiethnic in the story of the United States and like example for other countries of the world that hide their weaknesses and show themselves stronger of how much is not, but not Obama.

He is humble, accepts his vulnerability and this quality allows to enter him in contact with the people, above all with the new generations.

Obama supports that the belief doesn’t be able more to be confined from the State in the private sphere and instead should have straight of word in the public decision. In foreign subject of politics he is self capable show in the analyze, to include and in the case give the solution to a problem.

He isn’t favorable to the construction of a barrier of 700 miles that it divides the Mexico from the United States but, would build it alone in points of boundary at risk in which die 400 persons to the year. Obama doesn’t want certain to repeat the American version of the Israeli West Bank barrier, but to safeguard the life of the persons above all. And he is against the catches and the deportations carried out against the lacking immigrants documents.

Obama says; “I don’t think that the American method is that of to rip a mother from the son and to repatriate it without gets the results”.

Obama besides affirms that there is a natural connection between United States and Latin America. After the Mexican matter, he would begin negotiations with Cuba and Venezuela, wants to unite to countries like the Brazil to work with the clean energy.

He is favorable for the gradual withdrawal of the USA soldiers from the Iraq, is arranged to treat with Iran and Russia for the reorganization of the nuclear weapons.

This because Barack Obama knows well that the war is daughter of the evil, and says that build a wall would carry marginalization.

He wants to stretch out the hand, to have a clear diplomacy with the other everything countries of the world.
