7月13號 Day 2: A Little bit of everything

Today we were able to experience taiwanese art, nature, a temple and a market. Our first stop today was the traditional dongsanshui/xinfu wet market. It was really cool to see all of the different shops and the food they sold. I saw everything from chicken feet to cow tongue! I have never seen or even thought about eating cow tongue. I don't even know how you would cook it! But is is so awesome. There was also a lot of seafood there.

Then we walked through an older part of the Wanhua district. It had dutch, chinese, and japanese influence. The different building types were made by the different cultures when they settled in taiwan years ago. Brick was actually introduced by the Dutch and became a popular building material after they arrived. Here is a picture of a brick art piece that has all the names of the stores that were down the alley way we walked through.

Then we made our way to LungShan temple. It was very pretty and was flanked by a waterfall and a koi pond on either side.

I am always amazed at the detail that goes into each one of these traditional buildings. At this temple specifically, in the front it is a buddhist place of worship and in the back it is a daoist place of worship. We learned that people will pray and ask questions and to get an answer you would throw moon rock on the ground. depending on how they landed is what the answer to the question is. One side of the moon rock is flat and the other one is not. So if the flat sides land facing upward then it is a no. If it is the rounded sides facing upwards, it is a maybe, and if it is one flat and one rounded, it is yes. Also you have to place an offering on the table before you do that. It is said that the soul/identity of the fruit is taken up by the god, so after you offer it you take it home and eat it since the offering was already taken up by the god. While we were there they also were doing a ceremony and parading the idols around for a parade. They were playing the drums and everything.

Then we walked through the botanical gardens and saw a lotus pond!

We also went to the National Museum of history, specifically the yuyu yang exhibit. It was really cool to see all of the art he has created in his lifettime. You could see as time changed, how his artwork changed with it. I found it so cool that he did so many different types of art. He did not stick with only one genre. He created more than 2500 art peices in his lifetime such as sculptures, landscape art,self potraits, laser art, modern art, art with mirrors, and my favorite comics. I found the comics to be so funny. they tell such simple stories in only 4 slides. So cool. Here are a few examples

Then to end our day we had lunch at a hotpot place. It was so cool and we got to order so many different types of food. different types of beef, pork, lobster, shrimp, chicken, fish, chicken testicles, icecream, and veggies.

Untill next time, 再見！

Intangible sensations are difficult to verify - perhaps it's just being oversensitive to sound. Due to space management, the artist spent time residing in the underground mall of Longshan, Taiwan. The echoes characteristics of the underground space amplified the sensitivity to and impact of sounds. Analyzing and deconstructing these ambient noises into readable content transformed individual sounds into narratives waiting to be identified. This led to curiosity about where these sounds came from, where they were going, and what made them unique. The exploration extended from the underground space to the aboveground living areas, drawing attention to the sonic landscape and daily life around Taiwan's Wanhua district and Longshan Temple.

Sound often serves as a manifestation of power, yet the power dynamics within it are difficult to identify and recognize. These power struggles are subtly marked by the sensations and impressions they leave behind. The artist wears self-handmade devices to detect environmental sounds, displaying different hierarchical colors - from the quietest blue, green, yellow, orange, and red, to the loudest purple - attempting to distinguish these invisible power relationships.

Various sounds mark the domains of deities and worshippers. Religious processions unsurprisingly registered the highest volume readings, maintaining this level throughout participation. However, being immersed in it didn't feel as noisy as one might expect. Even at the same volume, preferences for certain sounds result in different levels of tolerance and engagement with different melodies, revealing how our perception of what constitutes noise versus quietness is deeply influenced by our sensory biases.

無形感受難被驗證，說不定只是對聲音太敏感。

由於空間經營，有部分時間在龍山文創基地的地下空間常駐，地下空間回音特性擴大了對聲音的敏銳度與影響。從這些雜音中分析拆解可以閱聽的內容，反而各個聲音成為待辨認的敘事。從而好奇這些聲音的來處、去向哪裡、當中的特殊性。從地下空間延伸到地上生活圈，進而留意到臺灣萬華與龍山寺週邊的聲音樣貌與日常。

聲音經常作為權力展現，當中權力角力卻難以識別辨認，隱隱以感受標示角力後的結果與印記。藝術家穿戴自製裝置偵測環境聲音，並顯示不同階層的顏色。從最安靜的藍、綠、黃、橙、紅，到最大聲的紫，嘗試辨別這種無形的權力關係。

各式聲響標記著神明與信眾的領域，繞境活動不意外的顯示偵測到最大音量，並且在參與途中一直停留在這個顏色，只是當自己身在其中其實沒想像中的吵雜。對聲音的偏好即使同樣音量，對於偏愛旋律的音量容忍度、參與度不同而有感受上差異，認知到平常認為吵雜跟安靜的分野深受感知的誤導。

On Sunday I was supposed to meet again the friend I’d just met Thursday, but we mutually cancelled as he was tired and I thought it was going to be too cold. It turned out to not be cold. In fact, the weather was downright delightful, and I decided it was time to finally get in some of the bike riding that had been postponed on account of my being a decrepit invalid for most of the holiday break. What I had in mind was to complete the segment of the riverside bike path that runs along the Xindian River 新店河 from Bitan 碧潭 to Wanhua 萬華 (about 17 km). Easier said than done because the wind tends to blow upriver, meaning if I wanted to not pedal angrily into it for an hour I needed to go down to Xindian and start from there, and it takes me forever to get out of the house. (I took the train to Xingtian Gong 行天宮 and then the bus so I could at least look out the window on the way.)

Little did I suspect (all of my brain cells are currently committed to Mandarin, remember) that a Sunday afternoon with nice weather was NOT the time to go bicycling by the river. Everyone and their extended family and their dog (or several) were out there, committing various bicycle crimes like riding five abreast, pedaling so slowly that walking might be faster, or meandering back and forth across the center line. To make things worse there were walkers, runners, and various other electric-powered contraptions at large. I discovered if one rings a bike bell at a small child in an attempt to give warning while passing on the left, they will inevitably turn to look and in doing so swerve directly in front of you. At one point I saw a young guy on a racey-looking bike weaving in and out at a brisk pace and felt very envious of the ground he was covering, until I came upon him later, stalled after having crashed simultaneously into two rental-bicyclists who seemed unhurt but were glaring ferociously.

An unexpected benefit of the masses was that eventually the bike path turned into a road and crossed a bridge, a point where I might have been confused if I were alone but everyone else seemed to know where they were going so I tagged along with great results.

This general situation meant, however, that I didn’t dare take my eyes off the chaos and thus endanger my life, so there was no stopping for any pictures until I absolutely had to sit down for some water and a snack around Guting 古亭, having pedaled at top speed the whole way, trying in vain to escape the crowd. (My top speed anyways, which isn’t necessarily very fast, especially on a three-gear Ubike, but I think I passed more people than passed me, at any rate.)

Once I got further along into Wanhua things thinned out, although that may just have been because it was getting to be dinnertime. By the time I made it to my end destination (linking up with where I’d done that bike ride from Wanhua around Shezi 社子 back in September) my legs refused to go on and it was time to go home. At this point things turned up, because the Ubike station was a few streets down, and Wanhua is an interesting place at night, so I had a good wander about taking pictures and inevitably ended up at Longshan Temple 龍山寺, which always has a fancy lantern display for Chinese New Year. This ending more than made up for all the struggling along the way.

To be honest, the Xindian River path is actually a very nice ride, from what I managed to see while also trying my damndest not to collide with anything or anyone. I would try it again... possibly on a cloudy weekday.

Vencorex : le scandale d'un capitalisme mondialisé avec des groupes français historiques partis à l'étranger : il est désormais question d'un groupe hongrois Borsodchem reprenant seulement 25 salariés et injectant un million d’euros. Ce groupe hongrois est une filiale d'un groupe chinois Wanhua. Si on dressait la liste des entreprises historiquement fleurons d'un métier passées ces dernières années dans le giron de fonds d'investissements étrangers, on s'apercevrait que la tradition industrielle française a fondu comme neige au soleil. Si l'Etat consacrait moins d'argent à

perfuser un secteur public hyper dépensier pour mieux défendre son secteur productif national (industrie comme agriculture), tout irait mieux. Regardons les aides publiques aux Etats-Unis et au Canada, et on constaterait que comparativement l'Etat n'aide pas assez son secteur productif privé.
