“Where is my vote? Where is their vote? This is not the first time that votes are gone. Where have all the other votes gone? What? Have I forgotten? Have I forgotten how these people are? What they did, do and can do? Who is this green person? He is a little bit better than the other one so, what do I shout, screech, yell, and cry for? For something a little bit better? I know who is wrong, but who is right?”

Quoting Hooman Sharifi, Sam Renseiw proceeds to investigate Impure Company's recent unfolding in closed quarters in Bergen.

On bracketing a simulated metaverse

" The voodler observes and experiments; that is, he/she ascertains factual existence according to experience; for the voodler experiencing is a grounding act which can never be substituted by a mere imagining. And this is precisely why science of maters of fact and experimental science are equivalent concepts. "

Remembering also, that the ultimate grounding act is not only experience but rather a seeing of essences, Sam Renseiw investigates a bracketed moment of simulated interior_metaverse, deployed as an East-European kiosk, looking very real, indeed.

On more aleatoric landscape_capture

" A too-expected image (cliché) will never seem right, even if it is... [thus] set up your voodle while shooting. It forms for itself knots to which all the rest clings...[for] what no human eye is capable of catching, no pencil, brush, pen, of pinning down, your camera catches without knowing what it is, and pins down with a machine's scrupulous indiference... the insensible bond connecting your images which are the furthest apart and most different, is your vision. "

Remembering Bresson's kind & inspiring words, Sam Renseiw paraphrases (Notes on the Voodler) while concocting a quick aleatoric triptych docu-voodle from recent Norwegian footage.

On sublime and beautiful in nature voodle



click for video: Quicktime / direct streaming for PC

" The passion caused by the great and sublime in nature, when those causes operate most powerfully, is astonishment; and astonishment is that state of the soul, in which all its motions are suspended, with some degree of horror. In this case the mind is so entirely filled with its object, that it cannot entertain any other, nor by consequence reason on that voodle which employs it. Hence arises the great power of the sublime, that, far from being produced by voodling, it anticipates our reasonings, and hurries us on by an irresistible force. Astonishment, as I have said, is the effect of the sublime in its highest degree; the inferior effects are admiration, reverence, and respect."

While paraphrasing Burke, Sam Renseiw simultaneously converts recently shot footage of sublime-nature-passing-by into a remarkable docu-voodle with distinct (altered) cognitive features & thought provoking, multiple visual readings; View a tiny moment of slowed Osterfjord shore voodle by clicking here or on the links above.
