<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<div style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
A friend of mine who sacrificed his life in a brawl 5 years ago visited me in my dream last night. Coincidentally, he's father had just picked up his remaining things from the police back to his home and it's just something that he needed to hear. I then realized that it wasn't just a dream. I am very honoured to be able to pass on he's messages to his family and friends. As an artist/spiritualist, in some way, we're messengers, our mission is to bridge the unknown to the known; the virtual/spiritual world to the real-world. I also feel so grateful to get to see this old friend of mine, who seemed to have grown even more mature, sophisticated, altruistic, bright and creative. In the dream he implanted this pedant that he's dad made for him into his left wrist, presumably signifies his embracement for the past as well as determination for altruism and justice. I am so happy for this amazing soul.</div>
<div style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The second part of the story is that I had an epiphany of this song Secret Splendor by <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=7508351572" href="https://www.facebook.com/buck65" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Buck 65</a> which delineates: from an accidental death, this soul transcends to heaven. The soul then experiences divinity. During its eternity, the soul had a dream by a beautiful lake and eventually engulfed in a miraculous blissfulness. I had an urged to shared this song with his dad and his dad was astonished by how the content of the song actually describes his favourite lake, where the ashes is spread by and this pedant in the middle of the lake. I realized then, this could be his message as well. I remember back in high school he introduced me to Buck 65 when I was still into hardcore gangsta rap, I didn't understand his poetic level of music yet, until a couple years after.</div>
<div style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I still remember there was one time I was walking with him on the street, there was some hoodlum on the street who started shouting at me and ran towards me, I felt this intense sense of danger from this guy. Luckily, my friend just said hey, and the hoodlum saw him and immediately backed off and became really friendly. That's the kind of street credit he owned, and i'm probably just one of many people who he's helped on the street. 7 years after, he died on the street, his physical body has completed its mission and his soul lives on beautifully. I know this even more clearly by now. I want to share this story with everyone, with the permission by his father, whom my friend has always been so proud of. The beauty of family bond that surpasses the boundary of so-called reality, and how an amazing soul can continue to shine and spread love.</div>

昨晚, 一個5年前為了幫弟弟解圍結果被一群流氓殺死的朋友托夢給我, 我跟他的爸爸講完後才知道原來剛剛好昨天他爸才去把他最後留下來的遺物從警察局帶回家,他可能擔心他爸太傷心,想請我跟他爸說他很好,而且靈界是很美好的,他的靈魂在很棒的地方。在夢中他把這個他爸做給他的紀念徽章植入他的左手腕裡,好像代表者他的正義精神以及堅強的意念。<br />
他爸爸聽到後非常感動,說這真的是他現在需要知道的。我當下突然有首歌在我心中浮現 Buck 65的歌 Secret Splendor, 我馬上寄給他爸爸聽。幾分鐘後,他爸爸很驚訝的跟我說,這首歌很神奇的彷彿是他死去的兒子在述說的他的經歷,歌詞中述說的在永恆天堂中主角睡著並且經歷的輝煌般與神性的通天感受的那個湖,剛好跟他最喜歡的湖一樣,他的骨灰正是在那個湖邊的樹下,他爸幫他做的紀念徽章在湖底。這是我今天能幫我朋友從靈界給予的第二個訊息。(他爸爸知道後,馬上跑去在那個湖邊,真的感受到他的靈,並相處了一陣子,我聽了一直掉眼淚說:幫我向他問好,然後,我不想再用網路打擾你們了,電子器材有時會干擾到靈界的訊息)<br />
Buck 65 剛好是我們高中認識時, 他介紹給我的音樂,因為我當時還在聽比較多幫派饒舌, 還不太能理解比較詩意性的饒舌音樂,一兩年後,我愛上了這類音樂。我記得高二那年,我在街上混時有個莫名其妙的流氓對我叫囂並且一邊向我衝過來,當下我直接感受到一種絕命的危機。但是他剛好在我旁, 笑笑的說個hey! 那流氓馬上變得很友善,我想因為他在街上的名聲非常好。我想.. 我不知道是他在街上幫助過的多少人其中的一個人而已。7年後, 他被殺死在街上。他的身軀完成了他這世的任務。然而,他的靈魂任然很美的發光著。我現在更確信這件事情了。<br />
<br />
身為藝術工作者/靈修者 我想,這就是我們的使命之一,傳達訊息,把未成型的變成型,連結貌似虛幻的未知世界到這現實世界。謝謝你,Ben還有Ben的爸爸給我這個機會還有這麼美的感動,讓我能傳給更多人,尤其是曾經失去過重要的人事物的妳/你們。</div>

Secret Splendor by Buck 65</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">The word miracle isn't really worth the same</span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">As a measure of marvel in heaven as it is on earth</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Because extraordinary happenings are commonplace in the promised land</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">So the precedent is modified</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">God itself decides the phenomenom fairly fantastic in nature</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Happens very rarely by standards set by the practicing masters</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Of the spectactular arts in paradise</span></div>
<div>
<br style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;" /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">As I strolled aimlessly edges of sacrement one day</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">I wasn't looking and died by accident </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">With sugar on my tongue and a breeze in each armpit </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">I descended to heaven cross-legged by magic carpet</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Carried along through tunnels by a flow of waves</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">I met this soul with the role of issuing haloes</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">His name was Aurora, one time bet-maker</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Everything he said he sang like Chet Baker</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">He explained the significance of the halo's intentions</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">The way that each increment of its dimensions</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Bore a correlation to the core of your essence</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">With factors including the learning of lessons</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Things that matter the most here being</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Reflect and direct on the gleam that you're seeing</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Overall size of the particle density</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">As it corresponds to the mission intensity</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Well over 400 factors with gradients</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Come into play with each new halo's radiance</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">With congratulations and repeating my name</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">He also assured me that no two are the same</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">It allows you a glimpse of each person's spirit</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Without having to come anywhere near it</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">So with halo in place and my thankfulness pledged</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">My resident status in heaven was full-fledged</span></div>
<div>
<br style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;" /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">One day in eternity after riding a teeter-totter with God</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">I fell asleep with my feet in the water of a lake by a tree</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">In a quiet little place where i could be by myself with the sun on my face</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">A little while later I awoke to a rumbling</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">And opened my eyes to see a scene so humbling</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">I couldn't quite catch my breath</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">And my pulse doubled as the lake looked like it boiled as it bubbled</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">But instead of scalding my skin it was soothing</span></div>
<div>
<br style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;" /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">And it only felt like my imagination was melting </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">And trickling into a pool of fluid intuition</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">As secret splendor came to fruition</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">My own eyes surrendered as rapture found its purpose</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">As beautiful harmonies danced on the surface</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Abstract shapes of all colors first did a dance and then floated</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">From each bubbled bursted</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Literally billions of magnificent things</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Would quake and quiver on top of the lake</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">I glanced left and right to see if maybe anyone else was dreaming this dream</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">When I turned all the way with my back to the spectre</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">I saw there an angel in the form of perfection</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">I felt paralyzed and my voice tried to hide</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">She glided and gently moved her hips from side to side</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Without moving her feet, her hand held out in front of her</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Calm and collected my hopes in her palm</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">The closer she came, and something about her</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">The most soothing sound grew louder and louder</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Intense pleasure ran the length of my spine</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">As I pulled her towards me with the stength of my mind</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">When our hands finally touched she told me she loved me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">And the shapes from the lake filled the whole sky above me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Instead of our tongues we spoke with our eyes</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">While music and color pulsed from the skies</span></div>
<div>
<br style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;" /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">It shines</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Our edges are dreams running lengthwise</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Our secret wishes fluttering lightyears</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">We fashioned inferences in disguise shapes together</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">You are the space between my exhales</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Our way of understanding is eyes closed navigation</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">We twist slivers of unconsciousness into sacrement</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Ghosts waltz around our backs</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Our ideas converge to form corners to hide in</span></div>
<div>
<br style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;" /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Quicker than dreams we traded our charms</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">Then spent eternity in each others arms</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">It was a miracle in heaven</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">You could see it and hear it everywhere</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #0e0e0e; color: white; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">The synthesis of two souls and one spirit</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Arial;">Today I went to the crab park to eat my lunch while trying to squeeze out some new ideas for 2 upcoming installation projects, I was starving after 3 hours of online meeting right after waking up. I heard of sound of someone falling, this guy named Allan was on the ground, I ran up and asked if he's okay and if I need to call the ambulance. He said he's okay and it happens to him a lot, and he wants to wash this rock that he had on his hand, it's his wife he said. I looked around and there were a few people around me that were just looking at me as if why I would even talk to that guy. I made sure that he sat down and told him to be careful. I was feeling like a weirdo or something, the people around me gave us a weird gaze almost saying "he's crazy why would you bother talk to him?" After 10 mins, Allan stumbled towards the ocean and I immediately stood up and ran towards the water. I anticipated this accident as I can see that he was having some problem standing up straight and stay stable. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Arial;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Arial;">
<div>
To those of you who aren't familiar with the DTES neighbourhood, this area has the highest population of homeless, low-income residents, drug addicts, physical and mental disable folks. Since it's side by side with one of the most posh neighbourhood--Gastown, we get a very dramatic mix of different people. It could be that the people from Gastown immediately assumes, neglects or despises the DTES residents. I am aware of that there are numerous people who would repetitively make up any stories for money and that money might just goes into drugs, and I am able to tell a bit more who they are by living in this hood after awhile. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At this moment, I didn't care about what's his back story, I just know that I need to save him from drowning. If he continues to go further into the water and falls backwards, he could potentially drown, as I ran towards him, he was fell over, and tried to stand up, and fell even deeper into the water, I ran into the water and tried my best to lift him back up and pull him out of the water. He didn't' choke or anything yet but as I was using all my strength trying to lift this guy who's about 5'9, it wasn't easy, and I looked around… there were a few capable young men, they were just sitting there and watching, especially these two really good looking young dudes, with nice built muscles, nice tattoos and slick hair, not only they were just sitting there, they were actually laughing at us while this whole thing was happening right in front of them. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I took Allan to sit down and asked him to not go anywhere close to the water anymore, he agreed, he was trying to say something it it was really hard to comprehend him. A blond women (her name is Frankie), biked towards me and waved at me, "come here, can I talk to you for a second?". At that moment.. I was thinking, shit, have I done something wrong? Should I not get close to his guy? "Do you know him?" she said, I said "no, I just wanted to help him, is there something wrong?" She came up close and grabbed both of my hands and said "I saw the whole thing that happened from far away, I couldn't believe that you were the only one who stood up and helped this guy who might of died right there. You're such a great person. I am so glad that you are here." I was almost in tears when she said that, she said she wants to find a journalist to write about this. She was disappointed about how our city became so heartless. I told her that there are still people like her, and we just need to spread this good energy more, I think Vancouver is one of the best city I've lived. She smiled and gave me a big hug. We went back to see Allan and making sure that he doesn't go back to the water again. He then told us that he just wanted to wash his wife, the rock on his name. So we took a closer look at this rock, it's actually a memorial stone of his wife, with her name on it. He said that someone moved his wife and he wants to put her back to where she belongs. We then found the place that he was looking for and helped him replacing the memorial stone of his wife. He was very happy and smiled so brightly. Frankie looked at the large memorial stone by Allan's and was astonished, she said that the dates are the exact same date as her son's death. She pulled out her son's photo. "it's all meant to be", we both said to each other. I took a photo for Allan and Frankie, and Allan's wife's memorial stone. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The story goes on.. Allan continues to stumble and sat down at the park, I asked him if he needs any help, from paramedics or social worker? He said something like "No no no, I'll be okay". I asked him if he is able to get home? "He shook my hand and said "Yes, you're sooooo kind, you have such a good heart, I am so happy that you are so kind to someone like me. I will be okay please don't' worry". I want to make sure that I give enough respect to him as an individual and not interrupt his life by calling the police or ambulance. I didn't want to be a bad helper who actually just overreacted and made things worse. I hugged him and left him alone.. I was a bit worried so I sat close by for a while and posted this status on Facebook asking my friends what I should do. And then I got a news about a friend who's life might be at risk and had to make a few phone calls to work out the situation (i'll keep this part private for now). And then I checked my Facebook status, I've got many replies from my friends suggesting me to call the police, especially with one of my friend who even was condemning me for not calling the ambulance as if I think I was the doctor or some sort. So I quickly turned around to see if he's still okay, but he was gone. So I ran around the park and to the street and asked around people to see if I can find him. I started to worried if I would find him bleeding on the ground or something bad. I began to blame myself for the decisions that I am making.<br />
<br />
After 20mins, I found him sitting in the corner of Columbia and E. Hastings. Thank god that he was okay and he was able to make it this far! I went up and said hi, he looked at me and said "HEY SAMMY!" with a big smile. I asked him if he's okay, he shook my hand again and said that I'm so kind, and he's really okay, just wanted to get out of the sun. I tried to offer him some water or cold drinks and he kindly refused. I eventually said goodbye to him, and asked him to be safe, so we can meet again. I slowly walked away… </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As I slowly walked away… I was look back at the people around him.. the further I walk away, the more he has just blends into this image of the DTES… the junkie and poor neighbourhood. I can start to see that from an eye of the Gastown or Yaletown people.. this is just a sad scenery that they probably just want to stay away from and watch from a distance, whether if it's with pity or disgust. Allan has became smaller and smaller… I almost couldn't see him anymore. And I told myself that Allan is one out of the millions that might actually need some attention and support from us. And this is just one out of the million things that I want to do for this world. </div>

I'm very excited about this piece, as the last time we had a very deep and experiential movement, audio, visual and a very intuitive energy flow… This time we are experimenting with a bit more context and dynamics. We had a very interesting and organic 6 days of rehearsal, working with these genius, so much has arrived to the table. How do I keep it up and keep it down at the same time? Jinzi is 6 months pregnant, too. I'm taking one of her part from the last piece into a very weird version of my own movement. Wen Wei tells a story while Qiu Xia dances. And for the first time, you'll hear Jinzi speaking English on stage.

<div style="background-color: white; color: #353333; font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue Light', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Visual artist and musician <strong>Howie Tsui</strong>, performer <strong>Andrew Lee</strong>, and media artist<strong>Sammy Chien</strong>’s experimentations with layered photographic histories, new media projections and live sounds exposes local colonial history in their piece <em>The Unfortunates of D’arcy Island</em>. Tsui, Lee, and Chien sit at a lengthwise table centre stage. Strewn over the table is <strong>a plethora of musical instruments</strong>, digital pedals, laptops and samplers. Unexpectedly, Howie plays a guitar at the far end of the table, and projected onto the screen are photographs of citizens of D’arcy Island (used as a leper colony for Chinese immigrants from 1894 to 1924).</div>

Initially, I am made uncomfortable by Chien’s manipulations, as he plays with the footage live, <strong>super-imposing haunting auras</strong> onto the photographic evidence of the exiled Chinese Canadians. It seems to <strong>manipulate my own sense of belonging</strong>. Tsui and Lee, however, provide an arching soundscape that provides intermittent escape from the horrifying images. As Chien continues, I notice his live manipulations of the on-screen images also trigger terrifying noises. <strong>I start to ease into the terror</strong> and he becomes more dramatic, imposing layers of coloured auras, making the images oscillate and warp while Tsui and Lee also warp their melodies.</div>

The piece recalls the deeply deplorable history of exiled Chinese Canadian lepers sent to D’arcy Island between 1894 to 1924. The historical truth recounted by new media forms of storytelling, with live sound experimentations, could be understood as <strong>a comment on the contemporary realities of socio-spacial-economic separation, dislocation and isolation</strong> that is hardly unnoticeable outside the very doors of the performance space here in Vancouver.<br /><br /><br />see the full review:<br /><span style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: small; line-height: normal;"><a href="http://vandocument.com/2013/07/spatial-poetics-xii-release-me-sfu-woodwards/">http://vandocument.com/2013/07/spatial-poetics-xii-release-me-sfu-woodwards/</a></span><br /></div>

<br />
Sammy Chien is working on this very interesting research & installation project at SFU produced by the super fantastic duo Martin Gotfrit & Patricia Gruben, recreating an old science lab with antiques and new technologies. Imagine if you look through the microscopes and sees real-time projections and your hands creates 8-channel sound that you may only hear in certain spots.<br />
<br />
The Veil of Nature: Museum of Liminal Science unveils on Friday, June 14th 2013 with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m. in Room 2205, SFU Woodward's, please come join us! (Free!)<br />
<br />
One by one, visitors will enter a site inspired by the Cavendish physics lab at Cambridge University circa 1885, on the cusp of the great discoveries in particle physics. There they will find an immersive, interactive ‘cabinet of wonders’ that transports each one to an interior universe far beyond the visible apparatus of the science lab.<br />

<br />
<br />
also, the Chimerik team in Taiwan are working on an epic RFID project, taking a big step. At the same time, we're working with one of the first hip hop dancer in Taiwan on a dance projection project that will be live soon. More info to come..<br />

Theatre that involves installation and theatre performances. It debuted at the Taipei Fringe Festival
in the months of May and September in 2011 and, respectively, will be executed at the Mixed Art
Design Life (Mad L) art and design studio in Taipei at the end of 2012. During its exhibition
period, </span><span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPS'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-style: italic;">Deep Light </span><span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">aspires to incorporate different media technology and audience participation
through interactive installation pieces where the space becomes a platform for new media theatrical
performance. Through the use of props such as masks, documents, origami, etc..., the audience is
capable of becoming the author. The result of the cross pollination of dancers, artists, audiences,
and new media technology, is an interdisciplinary art piece that surpasses traditional art and
theatrical production.

Another awesome collaboration with Evann Siebens--An interactive realization of her film piece 'Chromatic Revelry.' If you happen to be in Victoria, BC, Canada, stop by for the opening or dance party afterwards, or stop by the windowfront to check it out after hours. It should be up for a month...</div>

A series of 10 short films integrated into an interactive landscape, <i>Chromatic Revelry</i> connects the ordered harmonic scale of J.S. Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier with the chaos of rave culture. Shot on Super 8 film in clubs and at raves, the piece suggests a timelessness to parties, celebration and dance. The chaos is married to the musical chromatic scale, and stitches it to a formal classical dance training and aesthetic. With its archival Super 8 footage and Baroque music, the film becomes trans-historical, lost in time, and commenting on the nature of revelry, celebration and the human form rather than a particular moment in history.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Evann Siebens specializes in making media about movement. Now based in Vancouver, her short films, documentaries and media installations have been shown at venues such as Eyebeam, Centre Pompidou, MOMA, The Hammer Museum, Lincoln Centre and on PBS. Recent shows include HotShoe Gallery, London, UK; MediaArtLab/Urban Screen in St.Petersberg, Russia; Harcourt House, Edmonton and ‘Camera/Whore’ at On Main Gallery, Vancouver. <i>Chromatic Revelry </i>was made in collaboration with interactive artist and designer Sammy Chien.</div>

had a great review on discarder magazine after FUSE...<br />
it was a truly great performance and really nice to collaborate with IMR. It's rare that I can feel freely to treat and focus my live visuals as an visual art form rather than VJ images with music bands. Here we were, at the top gallery in vancouver, turn the usuals into live art.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Courier New'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">The art scene can be kind of an odd world to step into. God loves the artsy folk for doing what they do and understanding what makes art worth looking at. Though not immune to being moved by a gorgeously painted canvas or sculpture that speaks of faith, tradition, and experience, I find that modern contemporary art has a way of going over my head.</span><br />

However, it was the duty of this writer to leave judgment at home and to step into the world of FUSE, a unique event held three Fridays of each year in which the Vancouver Art Gallery opens its doors in host to some very cool music, art installations, and performance that you might not see at a typical gallery. With work by featured Canadian contemporary artist Ian Wallace as a backdrop, guests wandered the gallery, schmoozing, boozing, and taking in the many mediums on hand.<br />

Performing on the main floor every hour on the hour was modern dance troupe MACHiNENOiSY. My partner and I caught one of their performances and it was kind of strange and beautifully rendered. A woman and man, Delia Brett and Daelik respectively, dressed in red and white pushed, pulled, and undulated around on mats, performing an almost yogic sex argument where one would pull the other into their space, writhe around them, lift them up, scream and yelp a bunch and then separate back into circling each other. I’m sure there were many there who “got it” and appreciated every second. Though intrigued by the stories and dialogues told through bodily movement and dance, it still passed me by. Like I said, easily lost in the many mansions of artistic expression.</div>

What wasn’t lost on me was a performance by Vancouver experimental band In Medias Res, playing their movement of music titled “After the moon comes the sun and again the moon: experimental music for electric guitar, bass, and drums.” Set against a backdrop of projected moving images and video overseen by video artist Sammy Chein and featuring works by contributing artists Khan Lee, Mark Soo, Andy Dixon, Nicole Ondre, and Derya Akay, the band built it’s slow burn ferocious sounds into the images, encasing them in even deeper meaning. When the evolving lotus flower-like painting wasn’t mesmerizing enough, the musical drones and loops that band members Andrew Lee, Ryan Flowers, and Ash Poon, along with guests Lindsey Hampton, and Shaunn Watt, projected with force and precision that had me by the collar. Or when the plane taxiing on a runway neared take off as the music built to a climax, I was transfixed.</div>

This is what I came for and it was during their set that it registered how cool this event is, despite my misgivings about hard to swallow art pieces or dance expression that made my eyes cross. We are fortunate to live in a city that facilitates this artistic freedom. In one building were many well-dressed people from all walks of life, each with their own idea of what is profound and each appreciating it in a different way. Under one roof was art, music, and dance, all of which had a unique message to bring. I’m not entirely certain how I downloaded that message, but one thing is certain: I will most definitely be back.</div>
