dorkbot tokyo was held in a strict security office building at front of Tokyo station. Many of people must think that it should suits on junky yard rather than clean Tokyo night sight. Ironically it means that it's more difficult to procure a poor place rather than looks-executive-place, in Tokyo?

I'm interested in human power recently. It's so elegant.


I saw the art work by Dinh Q. Le at Dojima River Biennale on Sunday of this week. The work is consist of two parts, a DIY helicopter inspired by two farmers who keen to have their own helicopter and videos of the interviews of the farmers and the victims of the Vietnam War and the scenes of wars with helicopters. It was so impressed to show longing and fear for technology. How we are strange creature.

Accidentally I'm reading The Sorrow of War by Bao Ninh. The story is very dark, chaotic, and full of sorrow literally. But it draws me powerfully. The author illustrates obstinate memory, obsession and loss which came from the Vietnam War.


I met Clarence from Singapore in Shinjuku the day before yesterday. A dinner with him was enjoyable. We told about how important to have experience to live as a foreigner is. We took a walk in the town, in the bright and the dark. He got back to his country next day.

I find the interesting topics in BBC news today.

"Each of us has at least 100 new mutations in our DNA, according to research published in the journal Current Biology."

Last Wednesday, I met my old colleague. We have met a lot of restaurants and bars in the world in several years. But we haven't been at a table of work since 2002, I think. We could discuss about the issue of Image. We can still share what we are interested in now, as well as before, or more before. We could meet again after going through different ways. I was very happy.

Today, when I've researched by google, I found my feeling in the website by novelist Natsuki Ikezawa, which I wrote in 2003 by chance. I'm surprised that I forget about this completely. Recently I took a book edited by him from my ex-colleague. I'm impressed that the respectable novelist has picked up my small voice.

It was so nice to talk to Hung Keung in Singapore. We've visited the city for participating ISEA 2008. After we escaped from the crowded opening party, we went to a food court. I took an interview for my video project, where is your favorite place?
