Interview: Fin DAC

Sami Wakim Sami Wakim January 20, 2017

In a relatively short urban art career, Fin DAC has defined and perfected an atypical paint/stencil style that ignores the accepted visual language of street art almost completely – he calls it Urban Aesthetics (a modern-day take on a 19th century art movement). Hailing from Cork (Eire), Fin Dac lived the majority of his life in …

The American Dream By Jofre Oliveras

Vittoria Benzine Vittoria Benzine December 23, 2019

One’s relationship to the place where they live largely depends upon their privilege, stemming either from the environment they were born into or the circumstances affecting their life. Either way, the experience of any one place is different for every person inhabiting that place. Rankings like those provided by US News incorporate metrics considering cost …

Stabat mater
———

As nerdy as it may sound, Terminator 2: the judgement day has always been one of my favourite movies.
When the robot first asks John Connor “Why you humans cry?”, he, a badass kid who always has the right answer, replies “I don’t know. We just cry. You know, when it hurts”.
It’s actually pretty hard to explain the reasons we cry. Yet, at the end of the movie, after a long series of crazy things happened and a deep bond has grown between the robot and the kid, in the most poignant scene, when the Terminator has to terminate itself, at the sight of John sobbing, the machine says “I know now why you cry, but it’s something I can never do”.
It made me cry the first time I watched it as a kid, same effect today as a grown man.
The difference is the world we live in. When the movie was released, it was just super cool action sci-fi entertainment. Today, only three decades later, no laser guns, no spaceships yet, but we’re getting used to have conversations with machines in our everyday life, with AI softwares that are pretty helpful and somehow seem very good at understanding the depth of human emotions. Yet they can’t cry.
Tears are humans’ most primordial language, they go beyond our full understanding and our full control. Sometimes we can try to force ourselves from crying, yet tears just happen, just like life happens, out of our control. 
We just cry, you know, when it hurts, and no matter how deep is our suffering, those tears, heavy as rocks, show that we’re broken, but still surviving, we’re still alive, no matter how thick the darkness around us. 
And sometimes we cry when that weight is lifted, when light comes back, when something that was taken returns, when something we fought for is eventually conquered.
We can cry tears of sorrow on Friday, and tears of joy on Sunday.
Something dies, something is born again.
We are vulnerable beings, living a continuous cycle of endings and beginnings. 
That’s something the most powerful quantum AI whatever processor will never be able to fully understand. It’s something it can never do, at least I hope so

FREE MARWAN BARGHOUTI ✌️

As the Knesset passed a death penalty law that would apply only to Palestinians, artists in Bethlehem painted a 15 by 6 metre mural across Israel’s apartheid separation wall to mark 24 years since Marwan Barghouti’s imprisonment.

This April, we ask people of conscience everywhere to raise their voices, take action, and demand the release of Marwan.

A call to free Marwan Barghouti is a call to free all Palestinian political prisoners, and a call to free Marwan Barghouti is a call to Free Palestine.

“… Love Can Change With The Seasons.”

Come back on La Faïencerie street, in Bordeaux, on a little wall waiting for me since last year.
A pleasure to paint close to home and to share with the neighbourhood.
Thanks to the inhabitants for sharing and welcoming, and to Babeth for allowing me to use this beautiful picture.
Pictures soon !
