On day 22 after our little Zoo adventure we jumped on the train and took a ride over to Nanjing Road, one of the busiest shopping districts in the world. It’s commonly referred to Shanghai Times Square.

Day 21 in China was mostly a long academic day. I am working on editing the academic stuff into a piece, but that will take a little time, so until that gets finished, I figured I would share with you a little bit of the Shanghai nightlife.

Day 20, we went back to the Shanghai World Expo, determined to get into more than one pavilion. We got into Brazil, UK, the City of Being, New Zealand, Australia, Portugal, Finland, and the USA pavilions, but I shot the external facades of a ton more pavilions. Enjoy.

Day 19 was a pretty interesting day, I was finally able to track down the students and faculty that went on the Gobi desert trip so that I could get them to tell you what there experiences were like. You met them all previously, where they discussed what they thought the desert would be like. Now a couple of days after their return, they have had time to reflect on the experience:

The reason I was able to get all the Gobi desert students in one place at the same time was because their group the Sight=Site group was having an exhibition of their latest work. After I finished with the Gobi interviews, Brendan McCarthy was kind enough to give us a tour of the show, enjoy:

The electronic markets in China are a force to be reckoned with, apparently electronic enthusiasts are so prevalent there, they create the need for HUGE mall sized electronic markets. To me they seemed like a bloated over-sized Radio Shack on crack, but to electronic nuts, they are heavenly. I went to one in Shanghai with some fellow Parsons students and here is what I discovered:

On day 17, one of the New Media groups decided to go get some inspiration from the Shanghai World Expo. They asked me to come along and shoot some video. Here is the result.

The main song through out the video is Ghosts #8 composed by NIN. The rest of the music was either captured on site or stock music.

Also note, this entire video was shot with a flip camera.

Day 16 was the first official work day in Shanghai. It was a really long day full of introductions and presentations. I boiled it down to two bite sized episodes for you to enjoy. The first episode is a bit from the faculty summarizing what the students have been up to and what everyone will continue to work on and the second is three little interviews I pieced together that have students from the New Media group discussing in a bit more depth about the ideas they came up with to explore while in China.

Just before traveling to Shanghai, we checked out the Silk Market. I wanted to see if I could get either a musical instrument or a clown suit. After hearing a few horror stories about how aggressive the sales people were at the Silk Market, I was ready, unfortunately, they were not on their game the day I went.
