The Artist Process #3 At The 5Points NYC!

” THE ARTIST PROCESS “

a documentary and a public family event

Throughout the summer of 2013, cameras followed four New York City artists as they joined others at 5 Pointz, a well-known quarter in Queens, NY, where artists from all over come out to create art and celebrate freedom of expression by showcasing their art across building walls. The artists took to the famed brick canvas to paint the phrase “The Artist Process” captured it all on film. Acclaimed New York City “live art performer”

“We all live in NYC, so we all have a rhythm…These are just
layers, you can say, of all the art that has been expressed here…
I hope this event can show and tell people there is a lot of love
for the creating and hopefully this love can equal positive energy.”
The Artist Process,
*The mission for this documentary, is to help non visual artist and artist alike to share their skills to the public.
*The mission of the mural is to work collectively with others, with the sounds provided by the musical performers and poets, as the b-boys and b-girls dance to the rhythm of both the spoken and harmony of the sounds/beats.
Hopefully the public can witness the love we have for what we do, and in return appreciate the struggles of the artist to help understand our need to keep the arts thriving and living, if not for our life time, but for our children’s life time.
“The Artist Process”is a documentary in the lives of New York City artist. The purpose of creating these documentaries or such event is to educate those that are un aware and unfamiliar to the many artist that we have present in our life time, that are utilizing their talents for the betterment of today’s youth. Those that participated in the 2009 summer “T.A.P.”that was held in 5 POINTZ, Queens, can tell you how of a great impact it was for them and others to unite together and perform to the public.This time around, a new twist and idea came about to better help bring a closer view to how the artist see themselves and their art.Meet the ARTIST for the 2013 visual Showcase BY: 1.

THE NEW OFFICIAL SARGONITES VIDEO THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE!!!

This is the official first single and video off our new album, "BLACK FLAG - [The Sargon Chronicles]". 

PRODUCED BY Kwervo Instrumadness and live guitars by Patrick Dunn.

The song reflects the voice of truth trying to be restrained from the people who have the capabilities to spread valuable information. The video becomes a metaphoric perspective equivalent to Harriet Tubman's Underground Railroad mission, but in attempt to free the people, The Sargonites are out to free minds.

      

Is Facebook Making You Feel Bad About Yourself?

According to new research, it turns out that pouring over friends' vacation photos, gushing status updates, and career successes is making people miserable.

In a study conducted by Humboldt University in Berlin and Technical University in Darmstadt, German researchers asked 600 Facebook users how they felt while navigating the social networking platform. More than a third of the respondents reported feeling negative, but it had nothing to do with Facebook's ever-changing privacy policies and advertisements—most of those bad vibes were rooted in jealousy. 

 "We were surprised by how many people have a negative experience from Facebook, with envy leaving them feeling lonely, frustrated or angry," Hanna Krasnova of the Institute of Information Systems at Humboldt University told Reuters. (She was the project manager for the report, "Envy on Facebook: A Hidden Threat to Users' Life Satisfaction?" which was released on Tuesday and will be presented at a conference in Germany in February.) 

Passive Facebook users—people who read their news feeds, peeked at photos, and browsed their friends pages but didn't share much themselves—were the ones most likely to feel bad, the researchers discovered.

"Access to copious positive news and the profiles of seemingly successful 'friends' fosters social comparison that can readily provoke envy," Krasnova explained in her report. "By and large, online social networks allow users unprecedented access to information on relevant others—insights that would be much more difficult to obtain offline."

We look for affirmations from others to feel good about ourselves when we fail to see our own self worth.

IS OUR SOCIETY BECOMING LIKE THE WILD, WILD WEST?? WE WOULD HOPE SO!

The Wild, Wild West a time when everyone owned a firearm... That's why so many people died, right? Wrong... Most deaths were the result of disease and poor diet, as well as birth related deaths.

Now, what got us to write about violence in The Wild West? The Gun Control issues that has come up again due to the horrific school killing this pass week in Connecticut. Adding to number of times already this year someone has walked into a public space and murdered innocent people. I was having a discussion and the gentlemen i was talking too, stated that "it's beginning to look like the wild west" and "We need more gun laws". I thought to myself is that really true, so after a little research this is what i came up with..

 

America's love affair with the violence and lawlessness of the old west is mis-guided, and ironic when you begin to compare the most common crimes of today—robbery, burglar, theft, and rape—which in our society is out of control and in the old west it was of no great significance and, in the case of rape, seemingly nonexistent. Compared too today, the wild west was safer contrary to what you might believe. 

From the book -"The Not So Wild, Wild, West" by Terry L. Anderson and P.J. Hill
 
"that the Western frontier was a far more civilized, more peaceful, and safer place than American society is today." The legend of the "wild, wild West" lives on despite Robert Dykstra's finding that in five of the major cattle towns (Abilene, Ellsworth, Wichita, Dodge City and Caldwell) for the years from 1870 to 1885 only 45 homicides were reported- an average of 1.5 per cattle-trading season. In Abilene, supposedly on of the wildest of the cattle towns, nobody was killed until the advent of officers of the law, employed to prevent killings" Only two towns, Ells in 1873 and Dodge City in 1876, ever had five killings in any one year." 

And when there was a killing, 99.99% of the time it was between two willing combatants. And people will say there is more people now than back then... that's right. But its the RATE not the total amount of people living now.

 Need an example...?

In his book, Frontier Violence: Another Look, author W. Eugene Hollon, provides us with these astonishing facts:

• In Abilene, Ellsworth, Wichita, Dodge City, and

  Caldwell, for the years from 1870 to 1885, there were only 45 total homicides.  This equates to a rate of approximately 1 murder per 100,000 residents per year.

• In

  Abilene, supposedly one of the wildest of the cow towns, not a single person was killed in 1869 or 1870.

Zooming forward over a century to 2007, a quick look at Uniform Crime Report statistics shows us the following regarding the aforementioned gun control “paradise” cities of the east:

• DC – 183 Murders (31 per 100,000 residents)

• 
  New York – 494 Murders (6 per 100,000 residents)

• 
  Baltimore – 281 Murders (45 per 100,000 residents)

• 
  Newark – 104 Murders (37 per 100,000 residents)

 

It doesn’t take an advanced degree in statistics to see that a return to “wild west” levels of violent crime would be a huge improvement for the residents of these cities.

Look at Japan.. It has one of the highest population densities in the world, and one of the lowest murder rates. We are not advocating for everyone to walk around with a gun only because that wont work in every situation in a society so co-dependent and so far removed from reality, and removing all guns is next to impossible. But what we are saying is "Control" is not the solution, tougher gun laws will only create more violence. 

De-program, Re-educate... A start to A solution.

Peace.
