The technology

I will tell you about two types of technology that I think change my mind. First the domectic technology, the piece that I use every day, and second, the technology I have seen in arts (is a work from a friend).
The technology is a amazing instrument that the human created. But, I must to admit that I don't use very technology, and I'm not a "technology person". Because of that my piece favorite is my mp3. I know that isn't the most advanced instrument in the market for listen to music, but I love my mp3. Few years ago I have a other mp3, I like this pieces because are small and easy for connected with all computer, and it broke. And the last year my mother give me a new one, and the design that she chose were the right one.
Is a Phillip's nice mp3, is a very small, white, and the keys to used are easy for me. I heard music with it all day, all year, is my best partner for travel in the city or out of Santiago. I try support the mp3 in the best condition that I could.

The others example I must show, is a piece of art of a friend me, Maria Jesus Schultz. She did a performace with a tongue of cow, and she make a system with the tongue are painting over the piece of paper. Is amazing because the tongue always paint different things. With the technology she give life (I talk about the ability of "do something"), she make the technology's legs and a system with that tongue throw ink. For me, she is a genious, and the technology that she have been worked in the piece of art, is interesting.

With two examples I want show you types of technologys importants in my life.

The best page on internet for learn english

I don't know english very well, for that I must learn so much, and the books of language isn't easy. On internet the most of page you can read in english or spanish (maybe in portuguese, that is very similar with our language). For that I need a page where I can practice my english, and the "BBC Learning English" is the most cool internet's page that I have seen.
The page of BBC we can find applications very distints, but stay more inclined to listening's part. I think that is because is a British's page. The British's people are famous because their right pronunciation, comparative with the Americans or the Australian (they were a British's colony, because of that their langeauge is most mixed). Independent of that, the British's english is most easy to understand. 
But we go back to the BBC's page. In this website we have found videos about comical's situations, that the same time we listen to, also read to. Is like we get better the pronunciation. Also we have found with many games, like: quiznet, crossword and wordmaster. In this last game (very similar with the chilean's game "el colgao' "), we must to make the word with the letter that the game show us. When the game is most complicated, we can push the word "definition", this help us but we have lost points.

Well, it like invited you to visite the website "BBC Learning English". 
I want for your comment.

San Marcos Sierra

When I lived in Argentina a couple a years ago, I tripped for this country. One of the place that most like me was San Marcos Sierra. This place is in the north of Cordoba, in the heart of Argentina, is nearest to Chile, inclusive that Buenos Aires (from the capital to St. Marcos, is a 19 hours).
My trip was in March of 2009, with a friends "porteños", just like now in Easter. The group was very variety, all we worked or study in things different. Some (like me) study in the UBA (University of Buenos Aires), others works in the same university, and the rest was designer, teachers or delivery boy.
In San Marcos I did many things, but I enjoyed a lot went to the river Quilpo. Is a river with warm water and a few beachs. The Quilpo have a giant rocks, is very entertaining jump from the height, and to fall in the river (that is very deep).
In the night we rest and dinner in a restorant from of the house, we ate pizza and drank beer until a midnight. We talked a lot of time, and they tried to teach me the "truco", that is a tipical game in the Argentina, is very difficult because have a many rules and the game is with spanish's pack of cards.

Was a very amazing trip, and I recommend to all is near, cheap, and the people is a very nice (they are a real hippies). Is a place for go again, and I hope that.

My name is Matias Allende. I'm studing Teory and History of Arts, in the School of Arts in the University of Chile. My studys are specially in Chilean contemporany arts and Modern Architecture. Now, I work on investigation's project of Chilean art (between the years 60's and 70's), and a show of young art in the MACCHINA's gallery.
Now i learn to use the audio-visual medias for do investigations, because is a media more massive.
