In this technicoloured social experiment, director Alli Coates films performance artist Signe Pierce parading in stripper garb and wearing a mask along the popular ocean-side street in Myrtle Beach. The pair agreed not to communicate until the experiment was finished, but never expected the horror that would unfold in under an hour. ‘Whether it’s race or gender, or class or anything like that, we just had no intention going into this video about any of those things… It just inherently happened because that’s how real society works.'(Coates)

Some of the comments from the public in the video:

Will you do me in that later?

That’s a man

What is she doing? What’s up with that?

Here are some of the comments on YouTube, leave us your own at the bottom of the post

One thing is for certain, this short film made me feel. It made me feel angry, sad, disgusted, terrified, ashamed, helpless. The shot of her on the ground as a hoard of degenerates collectively cheer on and perpetuate her abuse by sharing to social media, was probably the most powerful thing I’ve seen in an incredibly long time. BRAVO!

This made me feel nauseous, and scared. People are terrifying. Reminds me of one time two guys followed me home from a liquor store, shouting homophobic things all the way. Then they knocked the phone out of my hands when I was trying to call the police and knocked me to the ground. It’s not safe out there. People are disgusting.

30 is a big number. Most of us actually feel grown up for the first time at 30. The age where you finally understand who you are and what you want in life. Hence the content choice for this issue titled “Originality Through Details”.

The world is turning fast and often we ask ourselves, ‘how much must we follow technology or how far must we remain true to our heart and our passion(s). In this edition, we made a great selection of highly talented people from Modena, New York and Berlin to Hong Kong and back who, in our view, are individuals mastering the balance of craftsmenship, detail, passion and an occasional touch of technology, in a perfect manner. ‘It’s not about the amount of tools you have, but how you use them […] how you create with your heart,’ says Riccardo Moretti from LegoLoop. Indeed. If we look at Paolo Nutini, who has millions of views on YouTube and played with the Rolling Stones, but does not even know his password for his Twitter account. In our interview, Nutini tells us: ‘It’s all about the music, man.’ And he is right.

Then we found you a little gem francais, who, and believe me on this one, will go places as a street artist. Levalet, who brings the streets of Paris alive, also strongly believes that people should be able to create with their hands. In 1962, a new literary art magazine was published by poet and activist Ed Sanders in the Lower East Side of New York. Andy Warhol (full pdf can be downloaded on the inside), and lots of other iconic names, was a guest contributor for this ‘zine called “Fuck You” / A Magazine of the Arts.
