Walking through

Here we are, in the eyed of the hurricane, with streaks at every corner. The actual daylive it’s resistance with the police, arrested people, hunger strikes and talking about it. Chilean education it’s the most expensive in the whole world and it isn’t the best. With a government who don’t care about illiteracy and a parliament which most of their integrants own university business. The requests from the students are that the state take care of the responsibility of the Chilean education and don’t leave it at the mercy of the neoliberal system. Here in our faculty we want to cancelled the debt than many students have for been studding, it’s not fear that a young person, who doesn’t have money, have to purchase a large debt with a bank (whom doesn’t care), and then pay it back until pay the amount of a department. We want to end up with the tax to the books not just for be able to buy theme, also for publish them in a more independent and cheap way. Of curse, either the president or the minister of education, want the state to take that responsibility, they don’t want that university education would be free (not even for a few percent of the population). And all we got it’s ephemeral money (a number not substantial changes), repression and antiterrorist laws, that’s how a conservator business man deal with a problem. In my opinion this government must be taken of it’s post, or at least be cuestioned (like happen in Argentina during the economical crisis). Piñera has a percent of approval of a 20% an a 66% of rejection and it must been replace by someone who win a new election process.

TECNOLOGY

Hi, again fellows, today i'm going to write about my favorite piece of technology. It's the blender (look at the photograph below if you have doubts of what it is); for me it's a very important artefact in my live. In my family we got it sice I was a child and I'ts very old and very used. I used a lot for make mixes of stange food and create brew for friends who loose bets. Also it´s an industralized object that make more "easy" the human life, contaminate and is disposable, and these characteristics is important in the history of humanity and make this "thing" very atractive to think about it.
The blender gives you a bunch of posibilities, you know, like when you put your entire brain into the mixer, turn it on and then you suck the liquid into your nose and then you got it again but now all the ideas can't get hold of. The blender is great, without it, collage wouldn't exist, we couldn´t mix thing that are even contradictory; and is an important tool for this times of globalization when all kind of cultures and times are connected,  and this interaction make no right or wrong, no black or white, just a crisis of trues and (of course) a mix
So, this is the blender, or the mixer (how it really should be call).    bye!

Hi, fellows. This time, as you already know, I'm going to talk about a movie that I like so much. The name of it is THE HOURS, it was a 2002 American film that was inspired on the novel of Virginia Woolf "Mrs. Dalloway". The movie is about three different women of three different contexts that are connected by the book, one of them is Virginia Woolf herself. I have seen this movie about eight times, I love it because of the acting, it was brilliant, and because the film has a great sense of the time (that is not lineal but chaotic) and the editing work is wonderful; I also like that my two favorites actresses (Toni Collete and Meryl Streep) kiss another women, those scenes are very beautiful. So, this is it, it's a good movie, if you haven't seen it, do it!
      bye, friends, see you at the U.

DAVID HOCKNEY

He is an english artist that I like so much. He started working with expresionist painting but later he became one of the best british pop artist of the twentieth century. He used to work with painting and words but later , and the years of his work that I like most, he started to work with phtography. He taked his pictures with a polaroide camera and he practiced photocollage, creating an atmosphere that he called "joiners", where he played with the diferents angles an the natural movement of the scene he was taken, making this montage very cinematographic. Later he left photography for the painting because he get bored of the restrictions that he see in photography. I like so much this especific work because, at the begining of this year I was working with something that is alike, and then when I see all his experiment with his tiny photographies I could strengthen my own work. You know!, culture it's a net where we influence each other and we, the artist, don't have to rivalize, just work together and don't let the egos, killed or output.
see you guys!

Hi, nice to be here in this medial plataform!. I'm going to be in this english's class for these months, because I want to learn how to understand and comunicate in english. I'm an artist, or I hope being it, so my expectations about this class are than at the end I can have a conversation about art, with anybody, in english without the wall of the language. Also than we can read any text about art or other subject. So, this is it. Ihope we can learn all together
