The Freshest Kids in China is a project focusing on Chinese urban culture, featuring art, song, and dance. They are cooler than you or I. Check out their latest work, a timelapse at the graffiti wall on Shanghai's Moganshan Road, featuring French artists JB, Ador, Storm, and Dezio.
The cool kids of Navator are back at it. This recently released video was shot last October in Xuzhou, directed by Navator. Music by Yppah (D. Song), written by Jose Corrales and Toby Campbell.
Disclaimer off the bat: this was uploaded back in February by YouTube user H3153mb3rg, so it is, in blog parlance, “old.” But I hadn’t seen it yet until today, and it deserves to be shared. Let me know if you’ve already watched this elsewhere. (Danwei folk, where are ya?) The same content creator made a pretty... Read more »
Global travelers Maxwell Swann and Todd Van Duzer “won a 30-day all-expense-paid trip to China,” according to the Vimeo description. “Armed with a couple cameras, they explored almost all China has to offer two 25-year old college grads.

Well they're at it again: George Zhi Zhao has filmed a time-lapse of graffiti artist MELS of BEASTMODE CREW doing his thing at Shanghai's Moganshan Road.

"That's the main idea behind the freshestkidschina project."
