Respectively, José became known for his calligraphic and palimpsestic coded paintings while his brother Rey is best known for his experimental films and camera-less non-photo works he calls Scratch Graphs. José having studied painting and Rey filmmaking the Picasso and Braque like duo are a Ying and Yang that create enigmatic works of art that are unique in their conversations.

The Parlá Brothers' work has been exhibited at the Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery in NYC, OHWOW Gallery in Miami, Paris Photo, and The Miami International Film Festival: The Avant-Garde Returns. A limited edition book will accompany the brothers' colette show.

La galerie colette est heureuse de vous présenter les Parlá Frères et leur nouvelle exposition commune, intitulée: U.T.O.P.I.A. Les deux frères, basés à Brooklyn, n'ont cessé de collaborer depuis leur enfance, en 1983. José dessine et peint tandis que Rey prend des photos de son frère et de leurs amis dans la ville.José est devenu connu pour son travail calligraphique et ses peintures aux codes palimpseste alors que son frère est réputé pour son travail de films expérimentaux qu'il nomme "Scratch I Graphs". José a étudié la peinture et Rey la réalisation et ils conversent tel le duo Picasso et Braque, un Ying & Yang qui crée un travail énigmatique et unique.

Le travail des Frères Parlá a été exposé à la galerie Bryce Wolkowitz de NYC, à la galerie OHWOW de Miami, Paris Photo et au Festival International du Film de Miami: Le Retour del'avant-garde. Un livre en édition limitée sera proposé chez colette lors de l'exposition.

Surveillance: How Big Brother is watching you - and things to do about it


Watch this Anonymous explainer on Trapwire, the artificial intelligence system peering at you through CC TV cameras, which are installed almost everywhere that Wikileaks uncovered and published info on this week.

It will be most dangerous to young, minority youth, for example graffiti writers, who will be more "suspicious" naturally than others, but it threatens us all. Anonymous will soon publish a how-to guide on taking out the cameras, but you probably already know how. Pro Tip: wear masks.


Anonymous Releases Video On How To Defeat Facial Recognition [these techniques will not last forever, however]

More Trapwire info. Note that the secret system is so heinous that officials deny using it, but it's already been deployed in Seattle and Washington DC. It uses cameras that are already in place, owned by various companies and governments.

CryptoParty, an event taking place worldwide where geeks explain the tools you need to be safer and how to use them. This movement is a response to Australia's (and other countries') new laws that mandate companies retain all your internet data to use against you whenever it's convenient.

http://www.cryptoparty.org/wiki/Berlin
Berlin CryptoParty will soon publish a software guide to help people inform their own CryptoParties, so watch this space.

Tip: iMessage isn't one of the tools you should use.

A mathematician who said no to the NSA explains some of the dangers we all face in the totalitarian surveillance state that's forming. Some good links are there too. All the social media are monitored, especially FaceBook.

Please spread this information widely. Preserving liberty will take all of us working together, and the first step is to inform people of the threat. This is science, not science fiction. The second step is to object loudly to your government representatives while those who can work to disable the systems.
