brian,
you said so much of relevance with historical us un china and glomo issues, not incomprehensible, but a lot to absorb. the melding together of cultures is a certainty imo the only uncertainty is how long it will take and if the wireless and wires will accelerate inclusion to one and at what rate. nationalisms will fall away when people don't need them anymore and thats happening. however, in the real world in which i live, there is pervasive cultural ignorance, lots of rednecks in trucks (i don't fit in) with no sense of anything but the "me of me is all there is." appointed diplomats at the un cannot really represent them, nor can they represent the chinese peasant or the women in mali and guatemala. small groups of people run everything and do you think thats going to change in thousands of years? modern chinese artists have such vitality its a moment in history to treasure. found a site about a chinese artist that has an eastern approach with newly western visual expression. the work is very graphic and i hesitated to send this link but am sending it because the art is good and represents a new chinese artist grappling with western expression and vision. of the modern chinese art sites that popped up with google, this one has one of the most striking works.

natural fabrics and devices such as maya wraps for infants make western contraptions seem like manufactured formula, created by engineers who don't understand the Chinese concept of li. (got a book today that discusses li and the dynamic form in nature -organic patterns in everything, such as aggregation (the collocation of elements), anfractuous (winding and turning forms), angulated (formed with angles), brancha (branching patterns), brechia (breaking and separating), cellular (basic organic arrangements), concentra (propagation around centers), contornare (physiographical configurations), crackle (shrinkage patterns and crazing networks), filices (fernlike formations), fracture (cracks in elastic materials), labryinthine (natural maze patterns), licheniform (lichen and lichenlike growth), nubilous (cloud and cloudlike formations), phyllotaxy (dynamic spirality), polygonal (geometric quasi regularity), retiform (netlike formations), rivas (river drainage systems), ripples and dunes (wind and current patterns in sand), trigons (triangular formations), variegatus (spots, speckles and scrawls), vasculum (leaf vascular patterns), vermiculate (wormlike arrangements), viscous maculae (release patterns). an appendix to the book gives li examples of animal markings called gatta, reptilla, amphibia, pisces, concha, mollusca
steve's post about ancient romans and their discussions about christians willing to kill themselves aligns with brian's evaluation of whats happening with .us policing the world. architects and those who are aware of world architecture and have chosen to remain outside the bs starchitecture system may be able to rise to the cause, and should. the global organism of fiber digit machine brain china india and even corpus christi third world will eventually all want equal consumption which will catapult earth to choke and poison. maybe the performance youre thinking about , brian, should be on a (non-toxic) landfill the ruins of plastic flourescense mercury vapor brain shrinking waste left over after gorging to consume and consuming to gorge influence.
have listend to internet radio and found a livestream station in kuala lumpur maylasia
