In my view, it’s always important to consider matters from the vantage point of a bit of time and distance. Consequently, I tend to view life from the sidelines, deliberately maintaining some distance from the mainstream, seemingly “drifting away” from the main currents of every day life.

Jacob van Loon interviews James Chororos
-
James Chororos has a diverse background in the arts. Between Rutgers and New Jersey Institute of Technology, Chororos studied Fine Art, Graphic Design, Art History, and Engineering before acquiring a degree in Architecture. After beginning his position as a designer at Studio Daniel Libeskind in Manhattan in 2010, Chororos spent the next three years working on projects all over the world. Part of his multi-faceted education led him to gain experience with photography during his Graduate studies. From there, he never put the camera down, shooting freelance on the side while at Studio Libeskind. He went on to pursue a full-time career as an architectural and lifestyle photographer in 2012.
James’ meticulous visual sensibility has propelled his work forward over the past two years. Living in Brooklyn, he’s also had the opportunity to travel and explore a range of locations and subjects. Photography fits well with his background as an architect. He is cognizant of change, and pays close attention to how people interact with their surroundings. James also understands the latent paradox of disruption and harmony, in how constructed forms impose or function with nature. I was able to talk to James about the fluid but rapid progression in his body of work.

Fan Shi San is a Shanghai based photographer who visited the village of Wu Ken in Southeast China in the spring of 2012, just 4 months after a year-long siege had ended.
In December 2011 the village revolted against the Communist Party’s local government. Thousands of riot police rushed Wukan, and seen as a ‘rebel village’, its 20,000 people were sieged and starved the entry of food and goods into the village.
So after an unplanned hiatus, I’m bringing back the monthly mixes. The first will (hopefully) be out early June, and most of the tracks will have been released in May. If I can keep it up, I’d like to make it so each mix contains music released in the month before, but we’ll see.
This time around, I’d like to get you all involved. So if you’re an illustrator/designer/whatever who is interested in doing something for the cover art, let me know. I have someone tentatively lined up for the upcoming mix, but future months are wide open.
