‘’My work aims to express one key concept :

EQUALISATION[ FLAT]=NOTHING =PICTURISATION

TITLE : << DIFFERANCE >>

Title: differance

Video

act in video : Typing My name on Plaster

11:58 seconds

typing sounds

I use language as a symbol and starting point to build my work. I then  remove  the  context of this language , flattening it’s meaning[equalization].Once the meaning and context have been removed [nothing] I develop a new visual language  reappropriating it’s meaning[picturisation].These works reference autopoiesis , a representation of self renewal and regeneration. This is the key process for my work .

Yasunori Kawamatsu keep becoming Yasunori Kawamatsu.

What’s the beautiful things?

If Beautiful-things happened in my perceive, I can say that my mind have Beautiful-things.

If subject have Beautiful origin, What’s the [subject]? and what’s [not subject]?

in this case, Subject is myself. What’s the relation of me to me? This make relation is get perceive to me by myself.

Being myself,,, keep certain and make relation of me to me.

I guess,,, Beautiful be happening by being myself .

DRIFTERS PROJECT KEFALONIA/PLASTIC FREE ISLAND.

In 2014, Kefalonia takes the first steps toward becoming a Plastic Free Island

We begin on one island:  removing plastic pollution, making art, identifying solutions and alternatives and engaging the local community. Help us create the template for a sustainable future, one island at a time.

 

Support Drifters Project Kefalonia Phase 4:  Plastic Free Island!

Background:  In an ongoing collaboration with the Ionion Center for Art and Culture, Drifters Project cleans beaches and sea caves all around the incredible island of Kefalonia for its 4^th year. In 2011, we collaborated with a sea turtle rescue project; in 2012, we cleaned a giant sea cave and made a short film, and 2013 saw collaboration between Drifters, Greek archaeological project A.Sho.Re, and Plastic Pollution Coalition and production of 2 more short films. In 2014, the project expands to 40+ participants.

Expansion:  Announcing the collaboration of Drifters Project Kefalonia and Plastic Pollution Coalition!!  For Plastic Free Island, we will be creating a template of social & artistic engagement. In 2014, we have created an international team of 40 students from Greece, Australia(University of Technology Sydney) and the U.S.  Utilizing Drifters Project art /investigation methodology along with Plastic Pollution Coalition’s proven methods of social engagement, we now incorporate local citizens, businesses and children with workshops and beach remediation sessions to remove vagrant plastic and address sustainable alternatives to disposable and single-use plastic. Plastic objects are the cultural archeology of our time. They are a portrait of global late-capitalist consumer society, mirroring our desires, wishes, hubris and ingenuity. These are objects with unintended consequences. Drifter’s Project methodology is to approach the sites as a forensic scientist, examining and documenting the deposition as it lay, collecting and identifying evidence of the crime.  Plastic Pollution Coalition engages all aspects of direct intrapersonal messaging and social media outreach.
