Neocha.com in English on TwitterPosted by Adam J. Schokora on Wednesday, July 30, 2008 at 7:28 PM
Neocha.com, a social networking site for Chinese musicians, designers, filmmakers, photographers, animators and those interested in Chinese creative communities, has an English language Twitter page. As Neocha's Web site is almost entirely in Chinese, its Twitter page helps non-Chinese language readers sample the site's content without the hassle of reading Chinese. Neocha's "tweets" are simply short descriptions of original Chinese creative content with direct links to the Neocha page housing that content. Some samples: Instrumental track from "A Hidden Trace" and Popil called "百了滋": link Great graphic design by CD designer Will_D: link Summertime illustration from "karenloves": link Clay figurine art & illustrations from Qiuyu (who also is an electronic musician): link Great animation video called "红糖葫芦" from Beijing Film Academy students: link Featured slideshow from photographer Lakita: link For those interested in the latest from the creative space in China, check it out: Neocha's Twitter page. Also, for English language access to Neocha's online database of original Chinese indie music, see this earlier Danwei post. (Full disclosure: Your correspondent is a partner at Neocha.com) |

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
