Cultural studies
Cultural studies is a field of theoretically, politically, and empirically engaged cultural analysis that was initially developed by British academics in the late 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, and has been subsequently taken up and transformed by scholars from many different disciplines around the world. Cultural studies is avowedly and even radically interdisciplinary and can sometimes be seen as antidisciplinary. As cultural studies scholar Toby Miller has written, "cultural studies is a tendency across disciplines, rather than a discipline itself." Although most practitioners of cultural studies are professional academics, Gilbert Rodman has argued in his 2015 book, Why Cultural Studies?, that the field must be understood to include some non-academic cultural analysts and practitioners as well as academic ones. A key concern for cultural studies practitioners is the examination of the forces within and through which socially organized people conduct and participate in the construction of their everyday lives.

Tamotsu Yatō
Tamotsu Yato (矢頭 保, Yatō Tamotsu, 1928(?) – May 1973) was a Japanese photographer and occasional actor responsible for pioneering Japanese homoerotic photography and creating iconic black-and-white images of the Japanese male. He was a friend and collaborator of the writer Yukio Mishima and the film critic Donald Richie, as well as a long-term romantic partner of Meredith Weatherby, an expatriate American publisher and translator of Mishima's works into English. Yato completed three volumes of photography.
Even though Yato's work received only a limited public distribution, it has attained a cult following and has been acknowledged as a major influence by a number of artists working with male erotica. Thus, Sadao Hasegawa remarks in his Paradise Visions: "Tamotsu Yato achieved fame by creating Otoko, a picture book. He photographed Yukio Mishima, nude. His subjects: traditional, muscular, unsophisticated countryside men, are mostly extinct today. Otoko was valuable because you could see these long-bodied, stout-legged, cropped hair, square-jawed men... Good-bye, men of Nippon!"

Yukio Mishima
Yukio Mishima (三島 由紀夫, Mishima Yukio) is the pen name of Kimitake Hiraoka (平岡 公威, Hiraoka Kimitake, January 14, 1925 – November 25, 1970), a Japanese author, poet, playwright, actor, and film director. Mishima is considered one of the most important Japanese authors of the 20th century; he was nominated three times for the Nobel Prize in Literature and was poised to win the prize in 1968 but lost the award to his fellow countryman Yasunari Kawabata. His avant-garde work displayed a blending of modern and traditional aesthetics that broke cultural boundaries, with a focus on sexuality, death, and political change. He is remembered for his ritual suicide by seppuku after a failed coup d'état attempt, known as the "Mishima Incident".
The Mishima Prize was established in 1988 to honor his life and works.
Life and work
Early life
Mishima was born in the Yotsuya district of Tokyo (now part of Shinjuku). His father was Azusa Hiraoka, a government official, and his mother, Shizue, was the daughter of the 5th principal of the Kaisei Academy. Shizue's father, Kenzō Hashi, was a scholar of Chinese classics, and the Hashi family had served the Maeda clan for generations in Kaga Domain. Mishima's paternal grandparents were Sadatarō Hiraoka and Natsuko (family register name: Natsu) Hiraoka. He had a younger sister, Mitsuko, who died of typhus in 1945 at the age of 17, and a younger brother, Chiyuki.

Los Angeles
Los Angeles (
i/lɒs ˈændʒəlᵻs/ loss AN-jə-ləs or loss AN-jə-liss) (Spanish for "The Angels"), officially the City of Los Angeles and often known by its initials L.A., is the second-largest city in the United States after New York City, the most populous city in the state of California, and the county seat of Los Angeles County.
Situated in Southern California, Los Angeles is known for its mediterranean climate, ethnic diversity, sprawling metropolis, and as a major center of the American entertainment industry. Los Angeles lies in a large coastal basin surrounded on three sides by mountains reaching up to and over 10,000 feet (3,000 m).
Historically home to the Chumash and Tongva, Los Angeles was claimed by Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo for Spain in 1542 along with the rest of what would become Alta California. The city was officially founded on September 4, 1781, by Spanish governor Felipe de Neve. It became a part of Mexico in 1821 following the Mexican War of Independence. In 1848, at the end of the Mexican–American War, Los Angeles and the rest of California were purchased as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, thereby becoming part of the United States. Los Angeles was incorporated as a municipality on April 4, 1850, five months before California achieved statehood. The city experienced rapid growth with the discovery of oil.

TAMOTSU YATO - OTOKO: Photo-Studies of the Young Japanese MaleTAMOTSU YATO - OTOKO: Photo-Studies of the Young Japanese Male
The beautiful photography of the Japanese homoerotic photographer Tamotsu Yato (originally Tamotsu Takada / (1924. 1928 (?) - 1973 Japan) includes three distinct bodies of work created across the span of less than a decade. These works were published in three books – “Young Samurai”, “Naked Festival” and “Otoko” – between 1966 and 1972. The photobooks of Tamotsu Yato received limited attention at the time. However, the influence this troubled photographer had on the nude male genre, particularly inside Japan, was profound. He pushed the boundaries of how Japanese men perceived their bodies and sexuality in a Japan that had no gay publications. Censorship laws forbade mentioning the genitals in print or photography. Tracing out the life of Tamotsu Yato is both interesting and tragic. Suicidal and with family conflict, friends say that his first visit to a gay bar in Osaka was in 1956. That night he met the publisher (promoter) Meredith Weatherby. Ten years senior to Tamotsu Yato, Meredith became lover, benefactor, mentor and promoter in an open relationship as they co-existed with filmmaker Donald Ritchie. It was in this early period where Weatherby encouraged Tamotsu Yato to make photographs. At this time Weatherby was translating the books of Yukio Mishima and their home with Ritchie became a focal centre for artists and intellectuals. Yukio Mishima and Tamotsu Yato became good friends, as evidenced in the introductions and several photographs from the first two photobooks. Before Yato started making waves as a photographer, he played bit parts in Nikkatsu Studio films, typecast as a gangster or a “streetwise tough.” These were the same type of rough-edged macho characters he was drawn to as a photographer. Yato found his subjects, many of them heterosexual, by approaching men on the street with his business card and asking, “Would you like to be my model?” Yato’s career in photography began in 1967 with the publication of "Young Samurai: Bodybuilders of Japan", an unprecedented ode to muscled Japanese men which boasted a glowing introduction from the novelist Yukio Mishima. Mishima was a close friend and mentor to Yato. He wrote introductions to Yato’s books, inspired Yato’s aesthetic and appeared as a model throughout Yato’s work. The photographer and the author found a lot of common ground, sharing a love for masculinity and a mutual nostalgia for the the Japanese past, rife with all-male environments and romantic notions of honor, violence, and loyalty. In Otoko, Yato uses traditional Japanese symbols to root male-male desire within a historical context. Hawkins sums it up succinctly: "Yato’s careful inclusion of historical props (swords, helmets, fans, Meiji-era furnishings) is overtly intended toward homosexualizing Japanese history and historicizing Japanese homosexuality." Just before Otoko’s originally intended release date in 1970, Yukio Mishima famously acted out ritual suicide (seppuku) in the midst of an attempted coup d’état. Yato dedicated Otoko to the memory of his departed friend. Without a major publisher or art gallery backing him up, Yato took an nontraditional approach to distributing the book. Richard Hawkins has written a fascinating, detailed history of Tamotsu Yato’s life, where he characterizes Otoko as “almost legendary: "When Otoko was published in 1972, Yato brought copies of the book around to Shinjuku and offered it for sale in the increasing number of gay bars that Tokyo offered at this time. It was apparently for sale behind the counter at least one bar, Paru (a bar which, as an aside, Roland Barthes frequented on his several trips to Tokyo in the late 60s). Yato charged two prices for the book; 1,500 yen for those who could afford it and 300 yen for students." Yato passed away suddenly in 1973 of an enlarged heart. "Otoko" went on to become a cult phenomenon and profoundly impacted a generation of gay erotic artists, including the hugely influential Sadao Hasegawa. In his 1996 book "Paradise Visions", Hasegawa explained the cultural significance of Otoko: "Tamotsu Yato achieved fame by creating "Otoko", a picture book. He photographed Yukio Mishima, nude. His subjects: traditional, muscular, unsophisticated countryside men, are mostly extinct today. Otoko was valuable because you could see these long-bodied, stout-legged, cropped hair, square-jawed men… Good-bye, men of Nippon!" Gengoroh Tagame acknowledges the importance of Yato’s work in the introduction to his book "Gay Erotic Art in Japan vol. 1", crediting Yato and photographer Haga Kuro with shaping the erotic aesthetic of a generation. He also laments the photographer’s fading legacy: "As for Yato Tamotsu, the existence of the artist is nearly forgotten, and original negatives are spread and gone, there is no movement to evaluate him once again. This is very unfortunate not only for gay erotic art, but also for the history of Japanese photography. His work is high -

Deconstructing A Case Study House: Los Angeles artist Fonda Xenophon spent months creating beautiful interpretations of Julius Shulman's award winning photographs of the famed Case Study Houses. The houses were built during the 1940s, 50s and 60s in and around Los Angeles and were highly regarded for their architectural achievements and their historical significance. Fonda shows us why these houses are truly considered timeless. This project features the Stahl House, otherwise known as Case Study House #22. The house was built in 1959 in Hollywood and was designed by architect Pierre Koenig. The Stahl House has since been listed as a Los Angeles Historical-Cultural Monument, has been featured in many films and has been honored by the American Institute of Archtects on their "America's Favorite Architecture" list. This piece, along with Fonda's other Case Study pieces, will be featured in his upcoming "A Whole New World" exhibit. This reverse time lapse covers a period of two weeks. Over 10,000 photos were captured over the duration of this project.

http://www.memo.tv/forms Forms is an ongoing collaboration between visuals artists Memo Akten and Quayola, a series of studies on human motion, and its reverberations through space and time. It is inspired by the works of Eadweard Muybridge, Harold Edgerton, Étienne-Jules Marey as well as similarly inspired modernist cubist works such as Marcel Duchamp’s “Nude Descending a Staircase No.2″. Rather than focusing on observable trajectories, it explores techniques of extrapolation to sculpt abstract forms, visualizing unseen relationships – power, balance, grace and conflict – between the body and its surroundings. The project investigates athletes; pushing their bodies to their extreme capabilities, their movements shaped by an evolutionary process targeting a winning performance. Tradition...

David Morley was a media researcher who specialised in audience theory, which is an element of thinking that developed within academic literary theory and cultural studies. His research has addressed questions in relation to media consumption and the effect that it has on viewers. He worked for the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) is a research centre in the University of Birmingham, primarily in the 1970's. Morley conducted The Nationwide Project in the late 1970's and early 1980's, along side Charlotte Brunsdon, which focused on media audiences.

Professor Benjamin Fraser of the College of Charleston spoke to a group of around 60 University of Kentucky faculty and students from a wide variety of disciplines on September 12 about his research.
His position was that given the increased dialogue across Geography and the Humanities, the work of Henri Lefebvre offers a way forward for interdisciplinary scholarship centered on the city. Taxi driver, intellectual godfather of 1968, urban revolutionary, Marxist philosopher, spatial theorist, critic of everyday life, cultural critic, and even pedagogue—Lefebvre articulates an urban thinking that changes how we approach cities and urbanized consciousness in (graphic) novels, films, music, videogames and more

The beautiful photography of the Japanese homoerotic photographer Tamotsu Yato (originally Tamotsu Takada / (1924. 1928 (?) - 1973 Japan) includes three distinct bodies of work created across the span of less than a decade. These works were published in three books – “Young Samurai”, “Naked Festival” and “Otoko” – between 1966 and 1972.
The photobooks of Tamotsu Yato received limited attention at the time. However, the influence this troubled photographer had on the nude male genre, particularly inside Japan, was profound. He pushed the boundaries of how Japanese men perceived their bodies and sexuality in a Japan that had no gay publications. Censorship laws forbade mentioning the genitals in print or photography.
Tracing out the life of Tamotsu Yato is both interesting and tragic. Suicidal and with family conflict, friends say that his first visit to a gay bar in Osaka was in 1956. That night he met the publisher (promoter) Meredith Weatherby. Ten years senior to Tamotsu Yato, Meredith became lover, benefactor, mentor and promoter in an open relationship as they co-existed with filmmaker Donald Ritchie. It was in this early period where Weatherby encouraged Tamotsu Yato to make photographs.
At this time Weatherby was translating the books of Yukio Mishima and their home with Ritchie became a focal centre for artists and intellectuals. Yukio Mishima and Tamotsu Yato became good friends, as evidenced in the introductions and several photographs from the first two photobooks.
Before Yato started making waves as a photographer, he played bit parts in Nikkatsu Studio films, typecast as a gangster or a “streetwise tough.” These were the same type of rough-edged macho characters he was drawn to as a photographer. Yato found his subjects, many of them heterosexual, by approaching men on the street with his business card and asking, “Would you like to be my model?”
Yato’s career in photography began in 1967 with the publication of "Young Samurai: Bodybuilders of Japan", an unprecedented ode to muscled Japanese men which boasted a glowing introduction from the novelist Yukio Mishima. Mishima was a close friend and mentor to Yato. He wrote introductions to Yato’s books, inspired Yato’s aesthetic and appeared as a model throughout Yato’s work. The photographer and the author found a lot of common ground, sharing a love for masculinity and a mutual nostalgia for the the Japanese past, rife with all-male environments and romantic notions of honor, violence, and loyalty. In Otoko, Yato uses traditional Japanese symbols to root male-male desire within a historical context. Hawkins sums it up succinctly:
"Yato’s careful inclusion of historical props (swords, helmets, fans, Meiji-era furnishings) is overtly intended toward homosexualizing Japanese history and historicizing Japanese homosexuality."
Just before Otoko’s originally intended release date in 1970, Yukio Mishima famously acted out ritual suicide (seppuku) in the midst of an attempted coup d’état. Yato dedicated Otoko to the memory of his departed friend. Without a major publisher or art gallery backing him up, Yato took an nontraditional approach to distributing the book. Richard Hawkins has written a fascinating, detailed history of Tamotsu Yato’s life, where he characterizes Otoko as “almost legendary:
"When Otoko was published in 1972, Yato brought copies of the book around to Shinjuku and offered it for sale in the increasing number of gay bars that Tokyo offered at this time. It was apparently for sale behind the counter at least one bar, Paru (a bar which, as an aside, Roland Barthes frequented on his several trips to Tokyo in the late 60s). Yato charged two prices for the book; 1,500 yen for those who could afford it and 300 yen for students."
Yato passed away suddenly in 1973 of an enlarged heart. "Otoko" went on to become a cult phenomenon and profoundly impacted a generation of gay erotic artists, including the hugely influential Sadao Hasegawa. In his 1996 book "Paradise Visions", Hasegawa explained the cultural significance of Otoko:
"Tamotsu Yato achieved fame by creating "Otoko", a picture book. He photographed Yukio Mishima, nude. His subjects: traditional, muscular, unsophisticated countryside men, are mostly extinct today. Otoko was valuable because you could see these long-bodied, stout-legged, cropped hair, square-jawed men… Good-bye, men of Nippon!"
Gengoroh Tagame acknowledges the importance of Yato’s work in the introduction to his book "Gay Erotic Art in Japan vol. 1", crediting Yato and photographer Haga Kuro with shaping the erotic aesthetic of a generation. He also laments the photographer’s fading legacy:
"As for Yato Tamotsu, the existence of the artist is nearly forgotten, and original negatives are spread and gone, there is no movement to evaluate him once again. This is very unfortunate not only for gay erotic art, but also for the history of Japanese photography. His work is high

Deconstructing A Case Study House:
Los Angeles artist Fonda Xenophon spent months creating beautiful interpretations of Julius Shulman's award winning photographs of the famed Case Study Houses. The houses were built during the 1940s, 50s and 60s in and around Los Angeles and were highly regarded for their architectural achievements and their historical significance. Fonda shows us why these houses are truly considered timeless.
This project features the Stahl House, otherwise known as Case Study House #22. The house was built in 1959 in Hollywood and was designed by architect Pierre Koenig. The Stahl House has since been listed as a Los Angeles Historical-Cultural Monument, has been featured in many films and has been honored by the American Institute of Archtects on their "America's Favorite Architecture" list.
This piece, along with Fonda's other Case Study pieces, will be featured in his upcoming "A Whole New World" exhibit.
This reverse time lapse covers a period of two weeks. Over 10,000 photos were captured over the duration of this project.

http://www.memo.tv/forms
Forms is an ongoing collaboration between visuals artists Memo Akten and Quayola, a series of studies on human motion, and its reverberations through space and time. It is inspired by the works of Eadweard Muybridge, Harold Edgerton, Étienne-Jules Marey as well as similarly inspired modernist cubist works such as Marcel Duchamp’s “Nude Descending a Staircase No.2″. Rather than focusing on observable trajectories, it explores techniques of extrapolation to sculpt abstract forms, visualizing unseen relationships – power, balance, grace and conflict – between the body and its surroundings.
The project investigates athletes; pushing their bodies to their extreme capabilities, their movements shaped by an evolutionary process targeting a winning performance. Traditionally a form of entertainment in todays society with an overpowering competitive edge, the disciplines are deconstructed and interrogated from an exclusively mechanical and aesthetic point of view; concentrating on the invisible forces generated by and influencing the movement.
The source for the study is footage from the Commonwealth Games. The process of transformation from live footage to abstract forms is exposed as part of the interactive multi-screen artwork, to provide insight into the evolution of the specially crafted world in which the athletes were placed.
The video installation is currently being exhibited at the National Media Museums ’In The Blink of an Eye’ Exhibition, 9th March – 2nd September, 2012, alongside classic images by photographers as diverse Harold Edgerton, Eadweard Muybridge, Roger Fenton, Richard Billingham and Oscar Rejlander as well as historic items of equipment, films and interactive displays.

His position was that given the increased dialogue across Geography and the Humanities, the work of Henri Lefebvre offers a way forward for interdisciplinary scholarship centered on the city. Taxi driver, intellectual godfather of 1968, urban revolutionary, Marxist philosopher, spatial theorist, critic of everyday life, cultural critic, and even pedagogue—Lefebvre articulates an urban thinking that changes how we approach cities and urbanized consciousness in (graphic) novels, films, music, videogames and more

TAMOTSU YATO - OTOKO: Photo-Studies of the Young Japanese Male
The beautiful photography of the Japanese homoerotic photographer Tamotsu Yato (originally Tamotsu Takada / (1924. 1928 (?) - 1973 Japan) includes three distinct bodies of work created across the span of less than a decade. These works were published in three books – “Young Samurai”, “Naked Festival” and “Otoko” – between 1966 and 1972. The photobooks of Tamotsu Yato received limited attention at the time. However, the influence this troubled photographer had on the nude male genre, particularly inside Japan, was profound. He pushed the boundaries of how Japanese men perceived their bodies and sexuality in a Japan that had no gay publications. Censorship laws forbade mentioning the genitals in print or photography. Tracing out the life of Tamotsu Yato is both interesting and tragic. Suicid...

Deconstructing A Case Study House: Los Angeles artist Fonda Xenophon spent months creating beautiful interpretations of Julius Shulman's award winning photographs of the famed Case Study Houses. The houses were built during the 1940s, 50s and 60s in and around Los Angeles and were highly regarded for their architectural achievements and their historical significance. Fonda shows us why these houses are truly considered timeless. This project features the Stahl House, otherwise known as Case Study House #22. The house was built in 1959 in Hollywood and was designed by architect Pierre Koenig. The Stahl House has since been listed as a Los Angeles Historical-Cultural Monument, has been featured in many films and has been honored by the American Institute of Archtects on their "America's Fa...

The beautiful photography of the Japanese homoerotic photographer Tamotsu Yato (originally Tamotsu Takada / (1924. 1928 (?) - 1973 Japan) includes three distinct bodies of work created across the span of less than a decade. These works were published in three books – “Young Samurai”, “Naked Festival” and “Otoko” – between 1966 and 1972.
The photobooks of Tamotsu Yato received limited attention at the time. However, the influence this troubled photographer had on the nude male genre, particularly inside Japan, was profound. He pushed the boundaries of how Japanese men perceived their bodies and sexuality in a Japan that had no gay publications. Censorship laws forbade mentioning the genitals in print or photography.
Tracing out the life of Tamotsu Yato is both interesting and tragic. Suicidal and with family conflict, friends say that his first visit to a gay bar in Osaka was in 1956. That night he met the publisher (promoter) Meredith Weatherby. Ten years senior to Tamotsu Yato, Meredith became lover, benefactor, mentor and promoter in an open relationship as they co-existed with filmmaker Donald Ritchie. It was in this early period where Weatherby encouraged Tamotsu Yato to make photographs.
At this time Weatherby was translating the books of Yukio Mishima and their home with Ritchie became a focal centre for artists and intellectuals. Yukio Mishima and Tamotsu Yato became good friends, as evidenced in the introductions and several photographs from the first two photobooks.
Before Yato started making waves as a photographer, he played bit parts in Nikkatsu Studio films, typecast as a gangster or a “streetwise tough.” These were the same type of rough-edged macho characters he was drawn to as a photographer. Yato found his subjects, many of them heterosexual, by approaching men on the street with his business card and asking, “Would you like to be my model?”
Yato’s career in photography began in 1967 with the publication of "Young Samurai: Bodybuilders of Japan", an unprecedented ode to muscled Japanese men which boasted a glowing introduction from the novelist Yukio Mishima. Mishima was a close friend and mentor to Yato. He wrote introductions to Yato’s books, inspired Yato’s aesthetic and appeared as a model throughout Yato’s work. The photographer and the author found a lot of common ground, sharing a love for masculinity and a mutual nostalgia for the the Japanese past, rife with all-male environments and romantic notions of honor, violence, and loyalty. In Otoko, Yato uses traditional Japanese symbols to root male-male desire within a historical context. Hawkins sums it up succinctly:
"Yato’s careful inclusion of historical props (swords, helmets, fans, Meiji-era furnishings) is overtly intended toward homosexualizing Japanese history and historicizing Japanese homosexuality."
Just before Otoko’s originally intended release date in 1970, Yukio Mishima famously acted out ritual suicide (seppuku) in the midst of an attempted coup d’état. Yato dedicated Otoko to the memory of his departed friend. Without a major publisher or art gallery backing him up, Yato took an nontraditional approach to distributing the book. Richard Hawkins has written a fascinating, detailed history of Tamotsu Yato’s life, where he characterizes Otoko as “almost legendary:
"When Otoko was published in 1972, Yato brought copies of the book around to Shinjuku and offered it for sale in the increasing number of gay bars that Tokyo offered at this time. It was apparently for sale behind the counter at least one bar, Paru (a bar which, as an aside, Roland Barthes frequented on his several trips to Tokyo in the late 60s). Yato charged two prices for the book; 1,500 yen for those who could afford it and 300 yen for students."
Yato passed away suddenly in 1973 of an enlarged heart. "Otoko" went on to become a cult phenomenon and profoundly impacted a generation of gay erotic artists, including the hugely influential Sadao Hasegawa. In his 1996 book "Paradise Visions", Hasegawa explained the cultural significance of Otoko:
"Tamotsu Yato achieved fame by creating "Otoko", a picture book. He photographed Yukio Mishima, nude. His subjects: traditional, muscular, unsophisticated countryside men, are mostly extinct today. Otoko was valuable because you could see these long-bodied, stout-legged, cropped hair, square-jawed men… Good-bye, men of Nippon!"
Gengoroh Tagame acknowledges the importance of Yato’s work in the introduction to his book "Gay Erotic Art in Japan vol. 1", crediting Yato and photographer Haga Kuro with shaping the erotic aesthetic of a generation. He also laments the photographer’s fading legacy:
"As for Yato Tamotsu, the existence of the artist is nearly forgotten, and original negatives are spread and gone, there is no movement to evaluate him once again. This is very unfortunate not only for gay erotic art, but also for the history of Japanese photography. His work is high

"Yato’s careful inclusion of historical props (swords, helmets, fans, Meiji-era furnishings) is overtly intended toward homosexualizing Japanese history and historicizing Japanese homosexuality."
Just before Otoko’s originally intended release date in 1970, Yukio Mishima famously acted out ritual suicide (seppuku) in the midst of an attempted coup d’état. Yato dedicated Otoko to the memory of his departed friend. Without a major publisher or art gallery backing him up, Yato took an nontraditional approach to distributing the book. Richard Hawkins has written a fascinating, detailed history of Tamotsu Yato’s life, where he characterizes Otoko as “almost legendary:
"When Otoko was published in 1972, Yato brought copies of the book around to Shinjuku and offered it for sale in the increasing number of gay bars that Tokyo offered at this time. It was apparently for sale behind the counter at least one bar, Paru (a bar which, as an aside, Roland Barthes frequented on his several trips to Tokyo in the late 60s). Yato charged two prices for the book; 1,500 yen for those who could afford it and 300 yen for students."
Yato passed away suddenly in 1973 of an enlarged heart. "Otoko" went on to become a cult phenomenon and profoundly impacted a generation of gay erotic artists, including the hugely influential Sadao Hasegawa. In his 1996 book "Paradise Visions", Hasegawa explained the cultural significance of Otoko:
"Tamotsu Yato achieved fame by creating "Otoko", a picture book. He photographed Yukio Mishima, nude. His subjects: traditional, muscular, unsophisticated countryside men, are mostly extinct today. Otoko was valuable because you could see these long-bodied, stout-legged, cropped hair, square-jawed men… Good-bye, men of Nippon!"
Gengoroh Tagame acknowledges the importance of Yato’s work in the introduction to his book "Gay Erotic Art in Japan vol. 1", crediting Yato and photographer Haga Kuro with shaping the erotic aesthetic of a generation. He also laments the photographer’s fading legacy:
"As for Yato Tamotsu, the existence of the artist is nearly forgotten, and original negatives are spread and gone, there is no movement to evaluate him once again. This is very unfortunate not only for gay erotic art, but also for the history of Japanese photography. His work is high

Deconstructing A Case Study House:
Los Angeles artist Fonda Xenophon spent months creating beautiful interpretations of Julius Shulman's award winning photographs of the famed Case Study Houses. The houses were built during the 1940s, 50s and 60s in and around Los Angeles and were highly regarded for their architectural achievements and their historical significance. Fonda shows us why these houses are truly considered timeless.
This project features the Stahl House, otherwise known as Case Study House #22. The house was built in 1959 in Hollywood and was designed by architect Pierre Koenig. The Stahl House has since been listed as a Los Angeles Historical-Cultural Monument, has been featured in many films and has been honored by the American Institute of Archtects on their "America's Favorite Architecture" list.
This piece, along with Fonda's other Case Study pieces, will be featured in his upcoming "A Whole New World" exhibit.
This reverse time lapse covers a period of two weeks. Over 10,000 photos were captured over the duration of this project.

The second episode in the series takes as its focus Gilles Deleuzes short essay Postscript on the Societies of Control. While this episode is being made available for the first time in an issue of Culture Machine: An Open-Access Journal of Culture and Theory http://www.culturemachine.net/index.php/cm/issue/view/22 which has the theme of creative media; and while Liquid Theory TV could be described as a creative project, to the extent it is concerned with producing alternative, rival, or counter-desires to those currently dominant within much of society (at its simplest, a desire for philosophy or more broadly theory, rather than for the creations of Richard Branson, Simon Cowell or Rupert Murdoch, say), this does not mean that either the series, or this particular episode, should be regarded simply as an attempt to perform Deleuzes philosophy. The critical and interpretive aspects of scholarly work remain important to us here, even if they are being undertaken in a medium very different to the traditional academic journal article or book.

http://www.memo.tv/forms
Forms is an ongoing collaboration between visuals artists Memo Akten and Quayola, a series of studies on human motion, and its reverberations through space and time. It is inspired by the works of Eadweard Muybridge, Harold Edgerton, Étienne-Jules Marey as well as similarly inspired modernist cubist works such as Marcel Duchamp’s “Nude Descending a Staircase No.2″. Rather than focusing on observable trajectories, it explores techniques of extrapolation to sculpt abstract forms, visualizing unseen relationships – power, balance, grace and conflict – between the body and its surroundings.
The project investigates athletes; pushing their bodies to their extreme capabilities, their movements shaped by an evolutionary process targeting a winning performance. Traditionally a form of entertainment in todays society with an overpowering competitive edge, the disciplines are deconstructed and interrogated from an exclusively mechanical and aesthetic point of view; concentrating on the invisible forces generated by and influencing the movement.
The source for the study is footage from the Commonwealth Games. The process of transformation from live footage to abstract forms is exposed as part of the interactive multi-screen artwork, to provide insight into the evolution of the specially crafted world in which the athletes were placed.
The video installation is currently being exhibited at the National Media Museums ’In The Blink of an Eye’ Exhibition, 9th March – 2nd September, 2012, alongside classic images by photographers as diverse Harold Edgerton, Eadweard Muybridge, Roger Fenton, Richard Billingham and Oscar Rejlander as well as historic items of equipment, films and interactive displays.
