" Finally: a mesmerising magic blind oneiric voodle of the second kind for The Spaceship Earth Salon, an initiative started by an Oslo-based group with the intention to hijack the phenomenon of Scandinavian Design, rid it of retro-aestheticism, moralism and celebritism and forge a new current - embracing science, technology, magic and a radical paradigm of sustainable design."

Entering The Space Ship yesterday, blindfolded and lucidly dreaming away in visual languish, Sam Renseiw focused on magic pataphysical distortion clearances while simultaneously being guided through by a beautiful woman at the furniture fair.

"As we all know there’s scarcely a literate culture on earth that doesn’t have some translations of Japanese haiku in its poetry anthologies. From this, an international non-Japanese haiku movement has begun, which takes the idea of haiku hundreds of new directions. School teachers in Denmark, Italy, or California have no hesitation giving translations of Japanese haiku to their students, and then also reading locally-written brief poems to them, telling the children to look around, see what they see, have a thought, make an image, and write their own brief poem."

In under two minutes, the path is infinite, yet already clearly defined, as if bridged, ponders Sam Renseiw, shortly afterwards to be obliquely introduced to Snyder, just to have a recap on return.

"If Bergson believed anything," Hartshorne writes, "it was the asymmetry of time, the openness of the future and determinateness of the past." But Bergson, Hartshorne argues, too readily forgot that the denial of determinism, so central to his project, rests on the denial of the symmetry of time. Determinism, Hartshorne urges, following Peirce and Bergson himself, takes an essentially symmetrical view of time. That is why, on Laplace's model, one can as readily retrodict the past as predict the future, given an adequate knowledge of the present state of the world and its unchanging laws. The core of Bergson's message was that the determinism that negates human freedom and closes the open fu­ture arises in a false analogy between time and space: Space is an affair of mutual exclusion of elements, "whereas time is an affair of mutual inclusion." By preserving a certain symmetry in both space and time, Hartshorne argues, Bergson compromises the ultimate asymmetry of time and falls into "The most glaring confusion in Time and Free Will."

Voodling in an utterly condensed environment, Sam Renseiw lost track of linear space and time coordinates. View the unfolding of complex views, featuring a temple, a pond, a tea house, several meandering gardens, a veranda, a bridge, a side shrine, a walled dry -garden, a large covered porch , a daruma monk painting and a closing sign, all condensed in a simple travelling shot.

On Inari's collective forms and Kitsunes

" A kitsune may take on human form, an ability learned when it reaches a certain age — usually 100 years, although some tales say 50. As a common prerequisite for the transformation, the fox must place reeds, a broad leaf, or a skull over its head. Common forms assumed by kitsune include beautiful women, young girls, or elderly men. These shapes are not limited by the fox's age or gender, and a kitsune can duplicate the appearance of a specific person. Foxes are particularly renowned for impersonating beautiful women. Common belief in medieval Japan was that any woman encountered alone, especially at dusk or night, could be a fox."

Paying homage to the local Inari, Sam Renseiw visited some Kitsunes at Fujimi. View the architectural "promenade-renard" by clicking here or on the links above, and enjoy the almost hypnotic travelling. (patafilm # 636, 04'37'', 24.5 MB, Quicktime/mov - other versions at Blip.tv)
