It’s been a while since the last update! I’ve been in Tokyo shooting a music video (updates soon), before passing through Shanghai on my return journey. It was my plan in Shanghai to give my blog/social network a lot of love and attention, but amazingly, tumblr, facebook, youtube, vimeo, wikipedia and google docs were all blocked by the great firewall of China!! I’d heard about this censorship before, but experiencing it first-hand was quite surprising. These are all services that I use every day, and that form the basis of my research into the cybernetic occupation of the city.. to be in a major global city without these felt like I was living in 2004. It showed me how far we’ve come in the last decade. Long story short, sorry for the lack of love, more love coming soon. xxxxx
