we have all become avatars

inez van lamsweerde said in an interview with the gaurdian "it's much easier being the subject. you don't have to be polite with yourself. i always want to show other people at their most magnificent. but i can understand why cindy sherman photographs herself: because you can make yourself into anything, and not worry about ugliness. regarding retouching she goes on to say "i can't say that i like it when an image is retouched to death, or when the person doesn't look like themselves any more. when it comes to retouching wrinkles, we try to be as conservative as possible. but it is part of our culture now: we have all become avatars."

yekpare project

denis kader & candas sisman, two turkish visual artists created yekpare - an urbanscreening projection mapping - to celebrate their city and its history. they used an emblem of istanbul, the haydarpasa train station, as a screen for their video projection. through constant transformations, haydarpasa train station becomes a metaphoric map. yekpare was conceived as a storyteller who narrates the 8500 years chronicle of istanbul. the installation embraces symbols from pagans to the roman empire, from byzantine empire to latin empire, and finally from ottoman empire to istanbul at present. it is gorgeous and mesmerizing.
