What more do I do? ART? ART PROJECTS?
 
During my time in Sweden, I did a hell of a lot of different types of art projects. I did photography, film, Painting, clothing designes and i cant stop think about what happened between the time i was the most creative until today. When i came to china, I of course brought my camera, but not many pictures has been taken. Not many videos has been editied, and not many paintings has been painted. How come? 
 
I guess there are times in life, when everyone feel creativity helps out to feel calm and relaxed. During my time in sweden, when i was super creative, i didnt have any job and i was doing creative things to ease my mind about my shitty life. But then i took the desicion to move abroad, and spontaniously ended up in china on an impulsive matter. When i arrived in beijing, i was applying for an internship at a company to be a model and product photographer, but i didnt get far, because i was young, and visas did not play out as they should.
 
So i put the photography on the shelf for some time and started with video logs, highly, professional, editied video logs, but that did not go far either, so i put that on the shelf also. after som time, i started with sketching and writing articles online, but then i got stressed and then depressed and i put that on the shelf also. After that i started with music again, and i was holding tight to it, for about two weeks, and then that was gone also. A few years without creativity and i started painting again, i was doing it for quite som time, but then i moved away from Beijing and it all stoped again. Sad. 
 
I guess the conclusion i can come to at this point is: I give up to easily, or... i just cant commit to something during a long period of time without becoming tired of it. So we will see how long time, I will actually be wrtiting things here? 
 
But in all this sadness, I need to say, that its always been one art project which ive been working on for quite some time, and i would like to share it with you. 
 
"Special Narratives - Documentation, Production, Art"
There are a few videos which has been published, but more is on its way. At the moment, its secret projects which will make people start thinking. There are about 15 super short edited clips which will be intergrated to longer short films later on, and so far, 5 short clips are out. 
 
The whole art project has different levels:
  • Level 1, #CALCIC_101 which is the introduction in 15-20 second videos of what the government do to our minds and society to gain full control.

  • Level 2, which is #CALCIC_102 pressent the characters which will be followed, in short films between 3-10 minutes long.

  • Level 3, #CALCIC_1.0 is the deep going concept of what CALCIC stand for and the psychological manipulation they do to our society though media, film, photography, art, news and comercials.

  • Level 4, #CALCIC_2.0 which is based of short film series from the governmental persepctive, and not the main characters from #CALCIC_102. 

  • Level 5 , #CALCIC_D.o.D, has an other short cut which spells D.o.D. This stands for Department of Defens, and Level 5 will be longer films between 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, which go both though the victims and governmental perspective as psychological art films. 
 
WARNING!  Before you watch the videos, I strongly reccomend you to rethink your choises of film, if you have psychological issues with yourself and low frequency sounds of manipulation.
