Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence

 This film is the sequel to the ghost in the Shell movie. It was released 2004 in Japan , because the original GTS movie in Japan was not as well-received as it was in the West, the title was changed to innocence in that attempt to get more people in Japan to view the movie. Innocence had a huge budget for an anime of £10 million approximately ¥2 billion. Production I.G’s president asked studio Ghibli’s president to work on the project as co-producer in order to secure this amount of money. The anime was written and directed by Mamoru Oshii and is loosely connected to the manga which was taken from the story line Robot Rondo.

Innocence is set in 2032 after the 1st GTS movie when humans are dwindling. Most people are cyborgs like Batou but are vulnerable to ghost hacking (this was also the theme in the first GTS movie). As Major Kusanagi went into hiding Togasa is now the relucent partner to Batou. Section 9 is now investigation a cyborg corporation called Locus Solus. This is because the gynoid-androids they make (young female sex dolls) have killed 8 people. In the process of investigating these murders Batou and the Major are reunited albeit briefly to kick some ass. And before the Major leaves Batou again she tells him that “I’ll always be with you online”.

Now I have long been a fan of GTS but I did not much go for this anime at first. I am also not much of a fan of ‘pure’ CG animation (there are a few exceptions which I can count on one hand), but I can’t deny that the CG in this anime is superb and this one of the exceptions. But the story line was short and I felt that it could have been expanded on to make it better. So this GTS movie in my book is so-so and not the best out of the GTS collection.

A 21st Century Contemporary Art Gallery in Hong Kong....

In the 21st century, a new genre of art has developed and its rapid growth has been unprecedented. The way people view contemporary art nowadays has created a new and formidable player in the Art market and even national museums have had to sit up and pay attention to this burdgeoning phenomenon. The line between fine-art and street-art/graffiti is now blurred, with its acceptance and recognition by the art establishment also bringing with it criticism and dismissal.
Adapta is a satellite gallery that attempts to bridge the gap between the understanding of the European and Asian art markets, creating a dialogue which, until now, has been relatively unobserved. We believe that the talent-pool that “Urban Art” offers is extraordinary and hand-picking each artist specifically for each show will demonstrate, educate and provide a wealth of inspiration for the youth of today.
Our first project will be held in November 2008, in Hong Kong. We have curated an exhibition of 5 UK-based artists, including Cyclops, D*Face, David Bray, Word To Mother and Vesna Parchet. Although the variety of work can be considered eclectic, it is precisely this reason why we chose them in the first place. From the famous street-artist D*Face’s two-dimensional graphic art to the rich textures of Vesna Parchet’s styled character-based paintings, a plethora of mediums, emotions and messages are employed for the viewer to digest.
With two shows planned per year, Adapta will continue to be a cross-cultural pioneer and strive to bring the most sought-after and progressive artists to Hong Kong’s doorstep.
