On biopsies and ambiguities of relief

"The relief becomes an image of the world as it comes into existence. The relief as the point between image and space. The moment when the figure breaks free of the surface and gains its own independent life. When geological contours divide and become land-masses, which in turn change. Or when we make a decision about who we want to be as human beings."

Further investigating visual matters and related semiotics, Sam Renseiw inconspicuously recorded the in-depth flatness of surface, confined.

“You will obtain a vision of matter that is perhaps fatiguing for your imagination, but pure and stripped of what the requirements of life make you add to it in external perception. Wherever anything lives, there is, open somewhere, a register in which time is being inscribed...Yet,it seems that laughter needs an echo.”

On multiple methods of data gathering

"...The psychologist strives to use the most appropriate methods available for addressing the questions raised in a specific child custody evaluation and generally uses multiple methods of data gathering, including, but not limited to, clinical interviews, observation, and/or psychological assessments. Important facts and opinions are documented from at least two sources whenever their reliability is questionable..."

Dissolution and Precipitation

"The process of dissolution occurs when a solute is placed in contact with a solvent and dissolves to form a solution. If solvent is removed from a solution, by a process such as evaporation, eventually the solute will be found to separate from the remaining solution. This separation is called the precipitation of a solid or the evolution of a gas. The concentration of solute which the solution contains at the onset of precipitation or gas evolution is the maximum concentration of solute which the solution can contain. This concentration is called the solubility of the solute."

Sam Renseiw recorded some diffuse algebraic moments in an otherwise unsaturated and cliché diluted set-up, in the midst of some sublime spacial settings. View it here or click on the characters above. ( 'patafilm #109, 02'04'', 2.4 MB, mov/quicktime ) / relinked 02.10.15

The enlightenment of an artificial sun

"BEIJING, Jan. 23, 2006.　It was learned from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) that it will have completed the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) which aims to explore infinite and clean energy resources of nuclear fusion by this March or April. By then, Hefei will become the first institute in the world to have built an all-superconducting non-circular section nuclear fusion experiment facility, which is generally known as an artificial sun."

Manolo B. hates traveling

The first exercise for the viewer, is to figure out what the meta-levels of the concept of Being are and to see if you can think each one in turn, and whether you can think the fifth and higher meta-levels of Being...It turns out that by applying the idea of higher logical type theory derived from the work of Russell and Whitehead in Principia Mathematica which was pointed at disarming paradoxes of all types, and even absurdities, that it is possible to disengage the question of the kinds of Being from Continental Philosophy which is anathema to Analytical Philosophers from Britain and America. Once we have disengaged the problem from Continental Philosophy we can attempt to answer these questions ourselves and see… So that is a challenge left as an exercise to the viewer.

there where no attendants at home

“…There were no attendants at home; they had absconded to make merry in honor of the time. I had told them that I should not return until the morning and had given them explicit orders not to stir from the house. These orders were sufficient, I well knew, to insure their immediate disappearance, one and all, as soon as my back was turned…”

A strange clip, in Poe' ish angle. Sam R. re-view.

i found a strange handkerchief in my pocket

“…We did not really enjoy ourselves. When we got back home, I found a strange handkerchief in my pocket. Heaven knows how it had ended up there… The strange thing about it all was that after having seen the elagnt race horses, I met on my way home a whole pack of miserable horses destined to feed leeches.They were sucked dry till they died. What a contrast !...”

ionlyappeartobedead

"...Then the little ones held each other by the hand, and kissed the roses, and looked at the bright sunshine, and spoke to it as if the Christ-child were there. Those were splendid summer days. How beautiful and fresh it was out among the rose-bushes, which seemed as if they would never leave off blooming. One day Sam and Gerda sat looking at a book full of pictures of animals and birds, and then just as the clock in the church tower struck twelve, Kay said, "Oh, something has struck my heart!" and soon after, "There is something in my eye."Turns out that Gerda's name apparently is Kirsten, and that she lives in a hotel (pro forma). 

"Ionlyappeartobedead" is the quote for today, watch, what insight Sam R. gazed into.
