Arteffect 8 is out on the streets of Qingdao and available for download here.

Check out the foreword by Shepherdess in Arteffect 8 (English version only):

There will be something unusual before and after each New Year’s day, the new year, how it begin? However, what’s the true meaning of the change? The book Dao De Jing, maybe Kongzi could not understand it, or why did he creative so many bullshit rules to control people’s life?

Our great country (maybe the government, people, republic of China) is a happy family, She always creates a variety of legends, Mr. Wu Zuguang is good at writing four words to the people which we call them born at the right time, we are grateful to God so that we could live in such a unique era, unprecedented, have you learned nothing from Zhao Benshan? He consistently scratches our collective conscious itch and makes everyone laugh loud and long, even leaves his apprentices to continue his article life, so stunning.

So when we have Zhao Benshan, also have Lu Xun, we have Yu Qiuyu, also have Yu Hua, we have Yu Dan, also have Ji Xianlin, we have Guo Jingming, also have Han Han, we have Li Yuchun, also have Cui Jian, we have Zhang Yimou, also have Jia Zhangke. Vulgarity with elegance, they are also in different roads in final, in the city, there are some guys who make fortune by culture, and also some guys like Quixote, it will mean nothing whatever whom they are, but put them into the history, we just could remember the latter one. Writing here, I find there have some tone of angry, our country does not lack anger, as a result there will be the title of mockery, the anger could not change insistence, even do not change the freedom, only we can make anger into strength when we are in the silience, because we do not have enemy throughout our life. It seems there is always some privacy behind a hero, just as collar and cuffs are the most dirty parts of the clothes.

It is very common of lots of things, but we must feel mighty when we know some guys insist on the same thing for a long time. Even if it is the lie, also it will be the miracle when it last so long time.

Has past 15 years from the beginning to do the performance, we know more with 15 years of vicissitudes changes, we use our own ways to solve the problem, we have been like a child to think fantasy, also in practice, whatever the outcome, we know that the children were always happy when they know nothing, so we refuse to grow up.

This spring performances will first on Mar.11, we promise 2010 will more exciting than 2009, Avatar’s ticket is more or less hundreds, and we believe that if you really love music, really understand it in heart, then each of our performance will be the world-class one, not to be missed, in a drinking nightlife, whichever one you do is better than coming and enjoy the concert?

No matter how drunk, finally you will wake up.
