Nightvision in broad daylight





Visited Moca Nightvision. The whole shindig starts at 6pm on Saturdays this summer until August 11. Got there at around 6:30 because I wanted to make it to Siel's book exhange party afterwards. I suppose it would've been better to actually go to the damn thing at night, being that it was nightvision and all, but there are no rules. It's Moca, after all. There were a few people. I can imagine conceptually that after I had left at 8 a shitload of people probably piled in. Maybe.



There was some notable works at the Moca, but this being my first post, I'm entirely unprepared to supply any of the names of the works. Next time I'll be on the ball. There was one series done in spanish and english, handwritten on parchment. One article in particular in the series caught my eye...it was about progress.


Found some interesting reads at the Moca gift/bookstore, including this one on the left. Not sure if it qualifies as a 'read' but its good for coming up with alternative uses for a paper bag. In case you have alot of paper bags lying around and want to connect with your inner child. Or you want your child to connect with their inner child. Fun stuff. Probably loads better than playing with Barbies. Unless they prefer Barbies over cutting up paper bags and making hats out of them.




Couldn't resist the urge to take a picture of this. Again, I didn't write down the name but I'll call it.....aluminum foil. Hopefully that gets it sort of right. It's always interesting to see everyday and ordinary objects presented in this manner- under glass or plastic and made to look at, instead of just an object to be used for something else. I got in trouble for taking this picture, and was promptly told, rather sternly, to put my camera away or face the wrath that is Moca. I put my camera away. I was tempted, for a second, to take a picture of the security guard. And then label that picture "Security Guard: Wrath", and then proceed to do a whole series covering the seven sins. I'll put that on my to do list.
