Geeked Out

Ok. So James Powderly one of the founders of GRL just got jailed in China. Not good.
On the other hand, not sure it was the wisest move as the Olympics are coming to a close soon and the Chinese government is probably less worried saving face than they had been before.
So searching GRL for news, I come across photos from them on FuckFlickr which is pretty interesting in concept and purpose. Then I am digging around and I come across White Glove Tracking. It has made me want to dabble in programming again and video work.

This piece is loosely based on the play The Maids by the French writer Jean Genet. I am also wrestling with issues of patriotism as a guise for aggression.
Genet loosely based his play on the infamous Papin sisters, Lea and Christine, who brutally murdered their employer and her daughter in Le Mans, France, in 1933, although the play is not the story of the Papin sisters as such. Solange and Claire are two housemaids who construct elaborate sadomasochistic rituals when their mistress (Madame) is away. The focus of their theatrical playing is the murder of Madame, and they take turns portraying either side of the power divide. The deliberate pace and devotion to detail guarantees that they always fail to actualize their fantasies by ceremoniously "killing" Madame at the ritual's denouement
