Just a little something from India
Anita is writing from India since 2002 and tells about life and travel in this beautiful country. Definitely worth a look!
Faces of Tomorrow
The face of Tomorrow is a fascinating and original art project by Istanbul based photographer Mike Mike, attempting to address the effect of globalisation on identity. I quote below directly from the website because they explain it so much better than I can:
“The large metropolises of the world are magnets for migrants from all parts of the planet resulting in new mixtures of peoples. What might a typical inhabitant of this new metropolis look like in one or two hundred years if they were to become more integrated?
In Turkey and particularly in Istanbul, situated as it is at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, you can see how this process has been at work over the last thousand years as waves of humanity from Central Asia, Arabia, Greece and Rome have been absorbed. The resulting population is fairly uniform suggesting that if you could combine all the faces in a city right now you would be looking at the future face of that city.
The Face of Tomorrow attempts to find this face by taking photographs of the current inhabitants and compositing their faces to create a typical face. What we get is a new person – a mix of all the people in that city. A face that doesn’t exist right now, but a face, it seems, of someone quite real”
Overland from London to Sydney
The Ozbus left London last week on its inaugural overland trip from London to Sydney, which will pass through Turkey, Iran, Indonesia, India, China and Malaysia (probably not in that order) According to Ozbus, this trip has become possible only recently due to improved road conditions in Indonesia. It may be a bit slower than flying, but it is definitely more scenic!
