………to cleansing your mind. Password: hello I actually have some more footage (at different places, not just at Chinatown), but because I left it in Gary’s CF card I can only show you what I had initially…… Also the voiceover is probably really bad – this is just a temporary test run since my footage isn’t complete.

Dipping my bunch of brushes in diluted acrylic paint, I placed it in front of my mobile canvas and let the fan do its thing. It felt like the laziest art creation ever.
