Chapter Thirteen: The Blue Spirit

When Sokka and Katara fall ill, Aang goes in search of an herbalist institute in order to find a cure.  There, he finds an eccentric old herbalist who tells him that his friends need to suck on frozen frogs that can be found in the nearby swamp.  But on the way to the swamp, a group of highly skilled Yuyan archers ambush Aang and capture him.  The archers bring Aang to a heavily fortified Fire Nation stronghold where he faces the newly promoted Admiral Zhao and learns of his fate -- the Fire Nation will imprison the young Avatar for the rest of his life, keeping him just barely alive so that he cannot reincarnate.  Just as all hope seems lost, a mysterious warrior, wearing a blue spirit mask, infiltrates the stronghold and cuts Aang free from his chains.   Together, the Blue Spirit and Aang make an incredibly daring escape, fighting past hundreds of Fire Nation soldiers and over the stronghold’s three walls.  Who is the Blue Spirit?  What are his true intentions?  And will Aang make it back in time to give his friends their cure?

Just being silly, I created this simple video of YouTube’s ‘missing video’ image.

“We need to talk…” is in part, a manifesto, adopting missing image icons all over the web as protest mark. The aim is to re-think how we engage with online art and design content, using the internet as a resource rather than a means to an end.

Before the online phenomenon of blogging took off, a similar activity took place in a different environment, one that still takes place today. Magazines, postcards and other gathered material are cut or torn out and stuck onto walls of bedrooms alongside personal drawings, quotes and notes. A truly personal collection; a curated space. John Berger cited that these spaces were a logical replacement for museums, however something was lost when this idea was transferred to the world wide web. The exciting part, is the spontaneous interaction and therefore genuine dialogue that occurs in that space. Something that does not exist online. Nicolas Bourriaud suggests in his book ‘Relational Aesthetics’ that we are loosing any areas of genuine social interactions that are not based on commerce.

“We need to talk…” proposes a re-introduction of such interaction, not by condemning the online world but by creating new ways to use this gathered content.
