1 | Puerto Rico: It's a Bird… It's a Plane… It's Aslan! | Poerto Riko: Vorona io… Fiaramanidina io… Aslan io! |
2 | Enrique “Kike” Arce is known online and on walls as Aslan, one of the most innovative street artists working in Puerto Rico. | Malaza amin'ny aterineto sy eny amin'ny rindrina amin'ny anarana hoe Aslan i Enrique “Kike” Arce, iray amin'ireo mpanankanto an-dalambe mitondra zava-baovao ao Poerto Riko. |
3 | His online presence has developed into a key instrument for promoting his work while actively engaging with his followers and fans. | Nanjary fitaovana lehibe amin'ny fampandrosoana ny asany ny fahitana azy ao amin'ny aterineto, indrindra amin'ny firesahana amin'ireo mpanaraka sy mpankafy azy . |
4 | Aslan's projects mix the more traditional art tools - pencils, ink, paper, acrylics on canvas - with cutting edge social tools like Instagram, blogger platforms, as well as more playful components like toys, t-shirts, vinyl records, and tiles. | Mampiaraka ny fitaovana ilaina nenti-paharazana pensilihazo, ranomainty, taratasy fandokoana hafa sy ireo fitaovana avo lenta fampiasa tambazotra sosialy toy ny Instagram, ny sehatry ny bilaogy, ary koa ireo singa mahafinaritra tahaka ny kilalao , t-shirt, kapila mangilatra, ary ny bakoly (carrelage) ny tetikasan'i Aslan. |
5 | Aslan's blog is a virtual gallery of his works and ideas, which reveal a joyful, highly stylized and colorful world filled with wonder and nostalgia, and influenced in large part by American and Japanese popular culture. | Ny bilaogin' i Aslan no toera-pampirantiana zavakanto virtoaly ahitana ny asany sy ny heviny, izay mampiseho tontolo falifaly, voakaly tsara ary voaravaka loko feno hery sy hanina (tsy sakafo fa nostalgie), ary niainga avy amin'ny kolontsaina Amerikana sy Japoney mlaza. |
6 | Enrique recognizes his art as fun for both him and his audience - and it is precisely that preoccupation which brings cohesion to his various projects. | Soritan'I Enrique ho toy ny fanalan'andro ho azy sy ny mpijery azy ny asa-tanàny - ary izany mampiavaka azy izany indrindra no mampirindra ireo tetikasany isan-karazany. |
7 | His series of airplane photographs, #parriba [es] (upwards), is perhaps Aslan's most ambitious and engaging project yet. | Ireo andian-tsary fiaramanidina nalainy, #parraba (eo ambony), angamba no tetikasan'I Islan tena mamerovero sy manintona indrindra. |
8 | Using his iPhone and the popular photo application Instagram, Enrique documents airplanes flying high above - collecting hundreds of samples in the process. | Nampiasainy tamin'izany ny iPhone sy ny fitaovana fakan-tsary malaza Instagram, Fiaramanidina misidina ambony eny amin'ny habakabaka no nasehon'I Enrique -manana sary an-jatony amin'izany izy. |
9 | A selection of photographs is then printed and pasted unto tiles which are scattered throughout San Juan's buildings, walls, and streets. | Antonta printy ireo sary voafantina ary avy eo apetaka aminà bakoly, izay miparitaka eny amin'ny tranobe, rindrina sy ny araben'i San Juan. |
10 | People are invited through his blog and Instagram to participate on a “Scavenger Hunt” [es]: the first person to find each tile and take a picture of its location wins his own copy. | Asaina amin'ny alalan'ny bilaoginy sy ny Instagram avokoa ny olona handray anjara amin'ny “Scavenger Hunt” (fihazana harembe na chasse aux trésors): mahazo dika mitovy ny olona voalohany mahita bakoly iray ary maka sary ny toerana misy izany. |
11 | Selections from the #parriba series. | Andiana #parriba nofantenana. |
12 | The #parriba series is a powerful example of the interactions possible between artists and the public at large online. | Ny andiana-#parriba no ohatra tsara indrindra amin'ny fiasa mifamaly eo amin'ny mpanakanto sy ny mpijery amin'ny alalan'ny aterineto. |
13 | By blending technology, exploratory elements, and serialization, Aslan has arrived at something that is both rigorous and accessible, art that can be enjoyed far from the galleries that often alienate artists from potential followers - and clients. | Tamin'ny fampifangaroana ny teknolojia, ny fizahana sy ny fanakambanana, vitan'I Aslan ny nanatontosa zavatra matanjaka nefa mora takatra, zava-kanto azo ankafizina eny amin'ny toera-mpampirantiana sary matetika manalavitra ny mpanakanto amin'ireo izay tokony hanaraka azy- sy ny mpankafy azy |
14 | Global Voices (GV): How would you describe your work? | Global Voices (GV): Ahoana no hamaritanao ny asanao? |
15 | What do you think are its most distinctive features? | Inona avy ny toetra mampiavaka ilaina? |
16 | Aslan (A): My work demonstrates the passion I felt as a kid towards japanese Otaku culture and the Pop Culture of the 80's. | Aslan (A): Mampiseho fitiavana mahery vaika ny asako, izay ahatsapako toy ny ankizy amin'ny kolontsaina japoney Otaku sy ny kolontsaina malaza tamin'ny taona 80. |
17 | In a very spontaneous way, I've decided to illustrate these fantastic themes that congregate in my mind, creating characters or creatures from how I see the surreal world. | Tampotampoka, nanapa-kevitra ny hampiasa ireo lohahevitra mahaliana nandalo tato an-tsaiko aho, amin'ny alalan'ny famoronana olona na zavatra efa hitako amin'izao tontolo. |
18 | GV: Do you feel as part of a wider artistic movement? | GV: Anisan'ireo anatin'ny hetsika ara-javakanto midadasika ve ianao? |
19 | A: I think that my work has made me part of a group of emergent artists in Puerto Rico. | A: Mino aho fa nanome sehatra ahy ho ao anatin'ny vondrona mpanakanto miroborobo ao Poerto Riko ny asako. |
20 | Puerto Ricans are known around the world for being helpful, for extending a helping hand to neighbors, friends, co-workers - and that is not an exception in the art world. | Fantatra manerana izao tontolo izao amin'ny fitiavana manampy olona koa ny Poerto Rikana, sy amin'ny fanampiana ireo mpifanolo-bodirindrina, namana, mpiara-miasa - fa tsy amin'ny tontolon'ny zava-kanto ihany. |
21 | The support that each of my projects receives is grand, it transcends barriers and turns into friendships. | Mahafo-po avokoa ny fanohanana azo amin'ireo tetikasako tsirairay avy, izay mandrava ny elanelana no sady mitarika amin'ny finamanana. |
22 | Criticism is constructive and helps us to improve. | Hoentina hanatsarana zavatra kosa ny tsikera ary manampy handroso lalandava. |
23 | GV: Why Instagram? | GV : Inona no antony nampiasana ny Instagram ? |
24 | A: I decided to use the medium as a means of expression towards an artistic goal. | A: Nanapa-kevitra ny hampiasa Instagram aho ho fomba iray hanehoana ny tanjona ara-javakanto. |
25 | I'm an impulsive and hyperactive person that always needs to find something to do and I found the perfect medium - social networks, which have so much happening that they are a perfect match. | Olona mahatarika sy mavitrika be aho izay mitady zavatra atao lalandava ka hitako tamin'izany ny fomba tsara ampiasaina - ny tambazotra sosialy, maro ny zavatra miseho ao ka fitaovana lafatra azo ampiasaina tsara izy. |
26 | They represent a new lifestyle where we acquire tons of information. | Anisan'ny modely vaovao izy , izay ahazoana vaovao aman-taoniny. |
27 | I decided to show my work through them in order to help in educating Puerto Ricans to appreciate art. | Nisafidy ny hamoaka ny asako amin'izany aho mba hanentanana ny Portorikana hankafy ny zavakanto |
28 | GV: How did you arrive at the concept for #parriba and why your fascination with airplanes? | GV: Ahoana ny nahatongavanao tamin'ny famoronana ny #parriba sy ny antony nahasarika anao nisafidy ny fiaramanidina? |
29 | A: If you only knew - I have no fascination with planes. | A: Raha mba fantatrao - Tsy nisy nanintona ahy manokana ny amin'ny fiaramanidina. |
30 | It's more like an obsession with posting (photos). | Fa ny fitiavana diso tafahoatra mamoaka sy mizara sary no tato amiko. |
31 | When I first decided to think about what to do with Instagram that was different to how it is normally used for - photos from daily life - I found planes interesting because of their abundance and the monothematic capacity that proved to be a perfect fit with my vision. | Raha nieritreritra ny sary alefako amin'ny Instagram aho izay tsy mitovy amin'ny fampiasana azy mahazatra -fakàna sary ny andavan'andro - hitako fa nahafinaritra ahy ny fiaramanidina noho ny fahamaroany sy ny “monotematika” aminy izay mifandraika tanteraka tamin'ny fijeriko. |
32 | I started collecting them at first without a clear motive. | Nanomboka nanangona sarinà fiaramanidina tsy amin'ny antony aho. |
33 | It wasn't until I decided to work on the series that I realized that this exploration could lend itself to a different type of artistic creation that would attract attention. | Tamin'ny fotoana nanapahako hevitra hirotsaka eo amin'ny sehatry ny zavakanto no nahatsapako fa afaka hampiasaina tsara aminà karazana famoronana zavakanto mety hanintona kokoa ilay fijery. |
34 | Its interesting to see how simple ideas such as looking up (or “p'arriba”) and photographing an airplane are the ones that attract more people. | Mahafinaritra tokoa ny mahita hoe fa hevitra tsotra indrindra , tahaka ny mijery eny amin'ny habakabaka (na “p'arriba”) sy maka sary fiaramanidina no manintona olona maro. |
35 | GV: How many pictures of airplanes do you currently have? | GV: Firy ny sarinà fiaramanidina anananao ankehitriny? |
36 | How many do you need? | Firy no tena ilaina? |
37 | A: Over the past six months - or more - I've been taking more and more pictures. | A: Tao anatin'izay enim-bolana mahery izay -farafahakeliny - naka sary betsaka aho. |
38 | It has become part of me, to the point I've collected over 600 photos. | Nanjary tato anatiko izany, ka nahatonga ahy nahangona sary hatramin'ny 600. |
39 | I think for a project like this to take flight you need at least 200 photographs or more. | Inoako fa mba hampandroso ny karazana tetikasa tahaka izao, mila sary 200 ianao na maherin'izany farafahakeliny. |
40 | Although it is never enough - I've thought about expanding the project to the whole island and I would need more than a thousand photos. | Kanefa tena mbola tsy ampy aza izany -Nieritreritra ny hanaparitaka ny tetikasa manerana ny nosy rehetra aho, arak'izany, mila sary an'arivony mahery. |
41 | It's something I have been thinking about and will decide sometime. | Zavatra efa noeritreretiko izany, ka tsy maintsy hotanterahiko any aoriana any. |
42 | For the time being I keep preparing myself by taking photos each time I can. | Eo am-piandrasana ny fanatanterahina izany, miezaka maka sary foana isaky ny manana fahafahana amin'izany aho. |
