Surrey Gallery Review

Surrey Art Installation

ball’in…

Not too long ago I attended a gallery exhibit at the surrey art gallery. The exhibit that was being displayed was a sound installation. It was quite a errie and sensual experience. The layout of the exhibit was about 30 single speakers placed around in a large circle formation and the audience was to be in the center of the speakers. Each speaker had a voice of its own forming a simulation of 30 people with their own voice. Voices range from adults to children with highs and lows of a large diversity.

Overall it was a pretty eyeopening expereince, never have i had experience something that stimulate hearing.

There was another installation that fairly intreasting. It involves the audience as part of the installation. A video capturing device films your movements on camera and displays it over 100 little screens. Each screen has a split second delay.

Loved it and am anticipating where they will take this next.

Mr.Game(Murat/Patrick)

The Cell Game goes like this;

The player receives a location of a checkpoint, and in that checkpoints he finds these riddles. When he solves the riddles, he calls the answer in to the Administrator, and receives the next checkpoint if the answer is correct. Once he has solved all the riddles, he receives the location of Termination Point, where he must make a choice after the experiences he has had. Either way at the end of the game, he gets doughnuts, but at the end, will he choose to enter the room, which he was cautioned not to?

The concept of this game, is reminiscing childhood and childhood fears. Does man fear what he does not know, or is it the other way around? Who is more frightened of life, an adult or a child?

Better Luck next time. (A day in the life of Justin Yu)

“So I’m at the gas station at King Edward + Oak St. I get out of my car and proceed to the inside of the store to pay cash so I can pump my gas. Duh.

On my way there, theres this middle aged woman and her daughter in her Honda odyssey and they are backing into the gas pump station directly across from mine. I don’t pay much attention to them but I realize I am directly walking behind her car to get to the cashier as she shifts gears from drive to reverse.

Not wanting to get run over, I quickly walk past her and proceed to pay the cashier and walk back to my car.

On the way out, I notice the woman glaring at me. I glare back and make a funny face at her (sticking my tongue out and whatnot). Yes, I realize this is rather immature but hey life is about having fun.

She replies with

(please refer to the image at the bottom of the page, my lack of internet skillz is quite apparent)

I reply to her with a great big smile on my face and continue glaring into her beautiful eyes.

She rolls down her window and gives me a great big “Fuck you! Next time I’ll just run you over!”

I am rather intrigued at this point and tell her that it would be a stupid idea as I it would probably end up with a law suit and that she should invest in anger management courses.

She then yells at me “Blame it on my menopause asshole!”

I reply to her “OH great, another woman blaming her problems on her vagina”

At this point, she really is quite angry and swearing uncontrollably. I still have a great big smile on my face.

I finish pumping my gas and as I leave I give them a friendly wave.

I think it’s so incredibly absurd that people let something so small (such as my walking behind their car as they begin to reverse) accumulate into something that can irritate them so much.

Obviously she’s going to think about this for the remainder of the day (or maybe longer) and tell everyone how big of an asshole I am.

Whatever the case, this woman fails epically.

So the next time you know you are getting angry or are about to, make sure the thing that is working you over is worth it. *hint nothing is worth getting angry over.

Don’t meddle around with shit like this.”

What not to do?

Here is my first debut segment of “What Not To Do”.

What should you definitively not do? Have a wisdom teeth removal surgery without anesthetics. And on a side note try not to have four wisdom teeth removed in one procedure… it really isn’t all rainbows and sunshine.
While you ponder on what great big Idiot I am…remember if you have a choice always go with the anesthetic surgery. Unless that is you enjoy taking memoriable photos of the event like so.

Boy was that a fun day.

Cheers.

Patrick.
