404 Not Uncovered
Seperti saya telah tulis sebelumnya, atas undangan British Council saat ini saya tengah mengikuti Cooler Lumpur Pageant, di Kuala Lumpur. Karena sedikit kecerobohan, saya hampir melewatkan satu software di mana saya mestinya membacakan sebuah karya. Untunglah saya menemukan satu terjemahan "Kutukan Dapur" (festival ini hampir seluruhnya dalam Bahasa Inggris) di web site dan bisa membacanya melalu telepon genggam. Setelah itu, bersama Miguel Syjuco (jika ada yang masih ingat, tahun lalu saya menulis tentang novelnya, Ilustrado, ) dan Adam Foulds bicara mengenai identitas di satu panel. Saya ingin sedikit membagi pandangan saya mengenai hal itu di sini, beberapa saya tulis ulang dari apa yang saya bicarakan di acara tersebut, dan sebagian saya tambahkan di sini. Kita sadar dalam banyak hal, dengan dunia yang semakin terbuka dan jejaring (terutama world wide web) menghubungkan komunitas budaya satu dan yang lainnya, dalam banyak hal kita merupakan konsumen budaya. Ini tentu saja pada akhirnya membentuk apa yang barangkali bisa disebut sebagai identitas budaya. Tapi saya rasa itu tak hanya terjadi di kita (Indonesia), tapi juga terjadi di mana-mana. Saya ingin memberi dua contoh yang tak ada hubungannya dengan sastra (minat utama saya): di dunia yang terhubung satu sama lain, dengan klub maupun tim nasionalnya masing-masing, orang di seluruh dunia menonton liga sepakbola Eropa. Kita semua merupakan konsumen liga-liga Eropa. Bahkan bisa dikatakan, admirers liga Eropa sebagian besar berada di luar Eropa sendiri. Sebagai contoh: Liga Spanyol, menurut laman supporters klub Barcelona di Facebook, penggemar Barcelona terbesar berada di Indonesia. Contoh lain, tengok musik apa yang didengar para remaja di Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Singapura, bahkan Tokyo dan Shanghai? Saya hampir yakin generasi belia ini sama mendengarkan musik yang kita sebut sebagai K-Pop, dengan nama-nama seperti Tremendous Junior dan Girls' Technology. Menurut saya, sepakbola Spanyol dan musik pop Korea telah menjelma menjadi sejenis "bahasa" yang dimengerti banyak orang. Mereka sadar, "identitas" yang mereka ciptakan ini bisa mereka jual, bisa menjadi semacam "brand". Jadi apa itu identitas? Saya sebenarnya lebih membayangkannya sebagai sebuah piksel dari gambar raksasa. Titik piksel ini tentu saja kecil saja, tapi karena kita tak akan pernah mampu mengenali gambar raksasa, kita lebih banyak mengenali sesuatu melalui piksel-piksel ini. Seperti kita hanya mengingat seorang teman karena potongan rambutnya, atau aksen bicaranya. Identitas merupakan cara kita mengenali yang lain, dan bagaimana yang lain mengenali kita. Dengan kesadaran semacam itu, identitas bisa diciptakan, dan di sisi lain dipertahankan bahkan seringkali dengan cara brutal seolah tanpa itu kita kehilangan diri kita. Kita bisa mengambil sesuatu dari yang lain, mengakuinya sebagai milik sendiri dan menjadi sejenis identitas, sebelum kehilangan. Lihat sepakbola Spanyol (atau Barcelona) yang dikenal sebagai tiki-taka. Semua penggemar sepakbola tahu mereka mengambilnya dari sepakbola Belanda. Selama beberapa tahun terakhir, mereka memeliharanya dan menjadikannya sejenis identitas sepakbola mereka, dan beberapa malam lalu, Belanda kembali merampasnya seolah berkata, "Sepakbola seperti itu milik kami!" Dan apa yang kita kenal sebagai musik pop Korea pada dasarnya merupakan industri musik worldwide: lagu diciptakan seniman dari satu negara Skandinavia, dinyanyikan penyanyi Korea, dan ketika tampil di panggung, kareografi dirancang oleh seniman Jepang. Tapi kita dengan sederhana menyebutnya sebagai "musik pop Korea". Jika ada yang bertanya kepada saya apa yang saya ketahui tentang Spanyol, barangkali saya akan mengingat Cervantes, atau novel-novel Javier Marias dan Enrique Vila-Matas. Tapi penggemar sepakbola barangkali akan mengingat Spanyol dengan nama-nama seperti Andres Iniesta, atau Xavi. Atau penggemar balap akan mengingat Marc Marquez, manusia tercepat yang menunggangi motor Honda. Apa yang saya ingat dengan Korea? Karena saya tak banyak mengenal kesusastraan mereka, apa boleh buat, identitas Korea di benak saya dibangun oleh gadis-gadis cantik anggota Girls' Technology. Sekali lagi, mereka sadar "identitas" budaya tersebut bisa dijual, dan kita di mana-mana menjadi konsumen kebudayaan ini. Salahkah menjadi konsumen? Apakah menjadi konsumen kebudayaan bisa mengikis identitas kebudayaan sendiri? Menurut saya, identitas bisa muncul dari mana saja, diciptakan maupun tidak. Tapi jika kita berharap memiliki identitas budaya yang baik, tak ada hal lain yang bisa kita lakukan kecuali menjadi produktif. Menjadi pencipta yang aktif. Bukan hal memalukan menjadi konsumen, yang memalukan adalah jika kita tidak memproduksi apa pun. Seperti kata para leluhur kita di tahun 45-an, "Kita ahli waris kebudayaan dunia", tapi sekali lagi, jangan lupa untuk mewariskan sesuatu juga kepada dunia.

Here we are, a couple of days following the 1st pictorial section of your just completed seventeenth Rally Monte-Carlo Historique and now we have some far more horology-related images for you:)
1st up, let's just say it truly is rather really hard acquiring 3 replica watches along with you for the 7 days if you find yourself touring continuously and still have to shoot cars with hundreds of kit all by yourself, which is what exactly our photographer Alex ( Markovsky) went as a result of in this year's historic Rally in Monaco, but on the other facet who would not choose to travel with the Armin Strom, an HYT along with a Louis Moinet? :)
Just before we get started talking about the replica watches that our photographer took with him let's rapidly choose a glance at a quite exciting piece, produced from the organisers on the rally - a completely hand engraved dial right here exhibiting the vehicle (and identify) of Ilya Kashin, amongst the pilots symbolizing the Russian Racing Group (who ended up one of the first cars with the finish). The observe could not certainly be a very talked-about brand or possibly a really technically advanced timepiece but it surely undoubtedly is a thing to maintain as being a memory, especially if you were being collaborating during the function.
Now to your huge guns sent by us into the Rally - first we've the Armin Strom ten Days Tourbillon H2o. As you could have realised through the title it has a ten working day energy reserve as well as a tourbillon :) 'Water' is represented with the blue color of your strap along with the colour combo in the dial. Inside the dial other than the tourbillon at nine o'clock you may also see two skeletonized barrels and naturally the hrs and minutes displayed by 2 quite massive fingers. One distinct issue concerning this piece would be the definitely loud seem it will make when it's ticking, so examine it out whenever you receive a possibility!
Future up can be a piece that in my mind warrants a tiny bit much more recognition from your audience, and that is the Louis Moinet Mecanograph in Titanium Grade five casing. The observe provides a two-faced dial, with one particular aspect showing the Cote Du Jura decoration within the correct plus the Cote Du Geneve to the remaining, in addition to a partly opened motion and a harmony wheel just beside the seconds indicator. The enjoy is a confined edition of 365 numbered items and it retails for around 12'000CHF.
Ultimately, last but truly not minimum - that's the HYT H1 in Black DLC Titanium with a very good diamond decoration for the six hour marker. If you're not informed about the idea from the HYT replica watches I recommend you go through our manufacturing unit and lab visits after which you can complete this publish, for the reason that it really is a thing from this earth! The liquid time exhibiting the hrs as well as the minute hand at 12 o'clock really go extremely nicely with the automotive thematic as among the liquids is 'essentially' oil ;)

Suitably decorated, the Roger Dubuis stand at SIHH showcased life-size watchmakers, each individual keeping a bell jar that contains a replica watch through the Hommage Collection. These represented watchmakers within the previous who, in big and compact means, have contributed on the development of the mechanical watch. On this, you could possibly remember a earlier write-up I did, inquiring just what the Roger Dubuis stand would glimpse like supplied the intriguing Youtube video clip sequence that showcased the imaginative destruction of Cuckoo clocks. (See write-up listed here. ) Absolutely a head-scratcher at times, the clues did level to at least one issue: this year's theme was firmly rooted in the brand looking within the past, and thinking about techniques wherein it might be utilized for a springboard to your revitalized upcoming. The Hommage range following all was initially released in 1995 when Roger Dubuis, master watchmaker and founder of his namesake manufacturer, regarded as in the time from the firm's inception that any replica watch in his production had to be made underneath the stringent requirements of your Geneva Seal, (Poin? on de Geneve). Utterly special within the replica watch market for the self-imposition of the prerequisite, the brand name has developed far and above it truly is humble beginnings, turning out to be a revered whole fledged brand name using a various number of breathtaking offerings. At this year's SIHH, I'd the chance to meet and job interview Mr Roger Dubuis himself. The online video previously mentioned is? a interesting portrait of the guy who suitable through the beginning, had insisted on remarkable expectations of good quality to become borne by his replica watches , considering such criteria an obligation to what he considered important and correct. Afterwards after i questioned to find out the replica watch he was putting on, I discovered it for being and it for being the Hommage Traveling Tourbillon Tribute to Roger Dubuis. Driven by the? RD540 calibre with a tourbillon, there may be also a sizable day and power-reserve show around the dial, all framed by a pink gold circumstance and highlighted by delicate layout particulars that reinterpret classical design and style codes. Developed to be a tribute to your grasp himself, it absolutely was solely fitting that this might be the replica watch that i would uncover on his wrist. What improved way for him to begin a vocation to be a watchmaker, also to be capable of close to it's conclusion, dress in a replica watch with his name over the dial and his signature about the scenario back again. To be a image of his toughness of vision and tireless commitment, there could be no far better testomony to what he has attained, than a little something as extraordinary as that!Also, be sure to abide by us on Fb, Youtube,Flickr and Twitter
