Mixed Media Painting by Martine Vanderspuy

Based in Sydney, Martine Vanderspuy has had a lifetime love affair with the sea, this has led to her aerial inspired resin art. Through experimentation, she has mastered the difficult process of painting with resin, creating photorealistic work depicting the moods of the ocean. Martine’s paintings inspire the feeling of movement and open a visual window onto the sea. Her bold compositions use the fluidity and translucency of resin to capture the dazzling effects of light and water.

Metal Sculptures by Matt Wilson

Matt Wilson, an artist from South Carolina, welds found objects into whimsical creations.

Influenced by natural elements, my art is a reflection of the environment in which I live. Using organic and recycled materials- bone, driftwood, scrap metal, etc, my sculptures depict continuous life cycles that consciously and unconsciously permeate our awareness. The upcycled work I create is a testimony to the belief of conserving and appreciating our resources so that the environment in which we live will continue to be an environment in which we desire to live.

Hong Kong's #612strike protest movement: a million strong, leaderless, wireless and smart as hell

Hong Kong’s previous mass-protest uprisings – 2014’s Occupy Central, 2016’s Umbrella Revolution – were ultimately smashed by the state through a combination of violent suppression and electronic surveillance, greatly aided by the hierarchical structure of the protest movements (which made it possible to decapitate them by arresting their leaders) and their internal divisions and infighting.

But the latest eruption – more than a million strong and gaining – has learned from the mistakes of the past. The #612strike movement has a flat, self-organizing structure that emerges deputies who take on functional roles (like keeping lookouts for cops planning kettling operations, which surround protesters with fencing and keep them locked down while they are identified and/or identified), that is augmented by the use of encrypted Telegram chats (the Umbrella Revolution also made heavy use of encrypted chats, with some P2P mesh apps emerging as the Hong Kong government shut off the internet).

The cultural shift is also marked by a spirit of cooperation, which is making it easier to resolve tactical disagreements – where to put barriers, whether to risk storming key buildings – in a collegial fashion, despite the high tensions, physical risk and punishing physical conditions (being on the streets for hours in Hong Kong June weather presents real risks of heat exhaustion, to say nothing of regular soakings in the torrential rains).

This third wave of networked protests seem close to realizing the promise of Occupy: a collaborative, networked protest movement devoted to mutual aid, where a protester can call out a request for an asthma inhaler, have that call amplified through the crowd, and then get the inhaler they need, followed by a round of applause from the crowd, justifiably pleased with itself.

The Hong Kong authorities are pulling out all the stops to shut down the protests, including the indiscriminate use of pepper spray, rubber bullets, tear gas and smoke bombs. It’s a sure bet that they’re also using electronic countermeasures against the protesters, and the protesters have tightened up their operational security in response: the subway stations have long lines in front of the cash-for-ticket machines as protesters eschew the use of their electronic payment cards.

Telegram has been under sustained DDOS attack, and the company has officially attributed the attack to the Chinese state; given that the protesters are making extensive use of Telegram, the connection seems likely.

(I worry that using mobile phones at all makes the protesters vulnerable to Stingrays and other mobile surveillance tools)

(I’m also excited to see them using mobile devices to accomplish something similar to Sukey, which I’ve been fascinated by for years)

The protests are motivated by the latest move in China’s encroachment into Hong Kong’s cherished independence: after Beijing’s consolidation of control over the city council and kidnappings and forced televised confessions of pro-democracy booksellers, the council is now set to allow for extraditions to the mainland for people accused of political crimes.
