Urban Desires Feature: Breakdancing
Back from the depths of '80s kitch and catastrophe, the art of
breakdancing makes a leap back into '90s coolness with the help of
AGENCY.COM local yokel, Khoi Uong. This flash animation takes us through
breakdancing's history, while giving step by step illustrated
instructions on how to become a bonafide freakazoid. Re-live the
excitement and pass me a Shasta: break is back!
After you muse the relics and revitalization of breakdance culture,
cruise through the first incarnation of Urban Desires, a zine dedicated
to culture high and low, art, and technology. To explore the original
e-zine core, in it's original format, please follow this link. Enter Urban Desires.
Keep an eye out for new pieces in the weeks to come in the current phase
of our evolution: UD98. Among other tasty treats, we'll be uncovering
the perverse stick figure animation of Canadian, James Paterson, and
taking a peek at New York's religious fanaticism in Richard Sandler's
documentary, The God's of Times Square. Is Mickey Mouse really the
anti-Christ? The flock will have to wait for that answer. The easiest
way to tune in to the latest UD releases is to follow this link. Sign up for email updates.
