" If I could only describe this place - I who am so good at describing places! Walls, ceiling, floors, they are my speciality. Doors! Windows! What haven't I imagined in the way of windows in the course of my career! Some opened on the sea - all you could see was sea and sky. If I could put myself in a room, that would be the end of the voodly-gurdy. Even doorless, even windowless - nothing but the four surfaces (the six surfaces). I'd find a way to explore it: I'd listen to the echo. I'd get to know it, I'd get to remember it. I'd be home. I'd say what it's like, in my home, instead of any old thing. "

Still recording moves in space(s), Sam Renseiw, paraphrases Beckett (again) to fathom the depths of the possible nature of space vodoling. Patalab's 2009 activities (almost) conclude with two interior, investigative space-voodles (patafilm # 739, 02'467'', 38MB, Quicktime/mov // patafilm # 740, 02'52'', 37MB, Quicktime/mov - other versions at Blip.tv) and a fixed, enlightening planetary Bonus Lumiere Video (Lum # 243 " still moving", 00'48'', 11MB, Quicktime/mov). And: one more, happy-new post, tomorrow. ;-)

" Voodle is the flower. Life is the green leaf. Let every voodler strive to make his flower a beautiful living thing. You must offer real, living, beautifully coloured flowers that grow above the green leaf. How beautiful the green leaf. How beautiful life often is, but think of the stupendous possibilities of the flower thus offered - of voodle "

" Invention, strictly speaking, is little more than a new combination of images, that have been previously gathered and deposited in the memory ", stated Reynolds, yet, one has to capture some of them first, and then carefully re -insert them, best obliquely, as some places are more than well documented. View a crucial part of the Glaswegian heritage, recently captured, just in time for the centennial, by clicking here or on the links above.

Today's [Double] Bonus Lumiere Video features both a day and a night vision from almost the same famed spot on Renfrew Str/Scott Str. ( Lum # 242 & 242b, 01'00'', 12 MB , Quicktime/mov)
