CHOLAFIED!
Meet Cholafied: the most weirdest yet strangely appealing site we’ve ever come across. Cholafied is the brain child of Michael Jason Enriquez, LA-raised and current advertising student at the Art Center college of Design in Pasadena.

“GOING OUT ON A LIMB” PERFORMANCE ART BY JASON FERGUSON
In “Going Out On a Limb,” FeCuOp constructed an environment entered into through a long, isolating, corridor; one which created both anticipation and mystery.
Once inside, the audience was confronted by a sterile room within which limbs hung, forcing viewers to explore their individual perceptions. These perceptions were influenced by the hidden dialogue happening above them among a diverse group of sitters. Such a simple but so intriguing piece of performance art.
