A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Augmented Reality: AntiVJ in Oaxaca By Bruce SterlingEmail AuthorFebruary 6, 2014

Augmented Reality: AntiVJ in Oaxaca

*Check out that projection-mapping in a Mexican cactus garden. AntiVJ is second to none.

“The Ark
“A site specific installation by Romain Tardy & Squeaky Lobster
“Proyecta Oaxaca, festival Internacional de diseño y artes digitales
“Ethnobotanical garden of Oaxaca, Mexico
“April 19th & 21st 2013
“The Ark is an ephemeral, site specific installation built around the cacti that line the Aljibe, at the heart of the Ethnobotanical Garden of Oaxaca.
“Adopting a poetic approach, The Ark gives voice to the garden’s plants, participants in the work, the beating heart of the space and an unpredictable choir.
“Telling their story, revealing their fantasised and fantastical nature, The Ark is a mise-en-abîme of the trail. Loosely inspired by the myth of the Great flood, this audio-visual installation in three parts unfolds like a movie project into space, in which the wandering spectator plays the role of the camera.
“Concept & Visual design by Romain Tardy
“Music composed by Squeaky Lobster
“Project Management by Nicolas Boritch
AntiVJ
“On the invitation of Proyecta Oaxaca, several artists from the Antivj visual label have devised four visual and sonic works to be installed at the heart of the Ethnobotanical Garden in Oaxaca. Conceived of as a trail of light, these in-situ works offered the chance to (re)discover a singular and magical location in a particularly unique way – by opening the garden to the public at night.
“A trail of the senses, in several variations, it also presents spectators the perspective of four artists on this atypical space, in which ancient nature and new technology come face to face, like a distant echo of the ancestral techniques that have allowed for its conservation.
“The trail consisted of the following four works:
Onion Skin, by Olivier Ratsi
The Ark, by Romain Tardy

Réplica, by Laurent Delforge & Thomas Vaquié
“A project commissioned by Proyecta Oaxaca.

“Video filmed by Xavier Chassaing & Romain Tardy.”
