In Studio with Shine.

Meet Wendel Mc shine. A brilliant young aritst from Mexico City, Mexico. He created this video above because he thinks "you should know where your art comes from." 3rd World is a new body of work that he created for Anno Domini's upcoming annual group exhibition, Fresh Produce. "This body of work is giving you... not just the surface of the art, it's a soul that I'm pouring into it that makes it special." 3rd World is also a component of larger project "La Puertas Abiertas" (The Open Doors) which is an exploration into opening one's consciousness to a different reality. So be sure to keep your eyes open for more from Wendell Mc shine.

"There's nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a flower. What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don't live up until their death. They don't honor their own lives, they piss on their lives. They shit them away. Dumb fuckers. They concentrate too much on fucking, movies, money, family, fucking. Their minds are full of cotton. They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them. Their brains are stuffed with cotton. They look ugly, they talk ugly, they walk ugly. Play them the great music of the centuries and they can't hear it. Most people's deaths are a sham. There's nothing left to die."

The EyeWriter project is an ongoing collaborative research effort to empower people, who are suffering from ALS, with creative technologies. It is a low-cost eye-tracking apparatus & custom software that allows graffiti writers and artists with paralysis resulting from Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to draw using only their eyes.
