Of macro distortion and didactic interior

"…In my Voodling I am acting as a map maker, an explorer of psychic areas, a cosmonaut of inner space, and I see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed…Thus, your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.."

Paraphrasing Burroughs (a few days after the centenary), Sam Renseiw concocted snippets of left-over interior footage from last summer into some cosmonauting spread of inner spaces… Enjoy meditating on the question(s). [Patafilm # 863, 02'59'', 58 MB, Quicktime/mov - other versions at Bliptv]

" A Gallery Portrait is not just the anecdotic depiction of a private collection, it is also, in its play of succeeding reflections and in the near-magical charm that these increasingly minuscule repetitions create, a work of art which tips us into its own oneiric universe where its power of seduction has been amplified to an infinite degree and where the agonizing precision of the medium, far from being an end in itself, suddenly opens out into the vertiginous spirituality of the Eternal Return."

Surprised by an esquisite succession of straight foreward facades bathed in a magic winter afternoon sun, Sam Renseiw proceeded to capture the reflections, further adding some interior spaces encompassing a performative ritual.

“ I slept very well indeed, and after seven and a half hours in bed had my first lucid dream in the lab. A moment before, I had been dreaming... but then I suddenly realised that I must be asleep because I couldn’t see, feel or hear anything. I recalled with delight that I was sleeping in the laboratory, in front of my Mac... and that all parts of the dream where simply bits of recorded reality.”

Speculating on the oneric nature of certain voodle processes, Sam Renseiw manufactured a short, visual dream like brew. View the sequence by clicking here or on the links above. (patafilm # 562, 01'43'' 10MB, Quicktime/mov - other versions at Blip.tv)
Note: As the patalab vlog project by now has attained absurd encyclopaedic dimensions, each new post will, in the future, also feature an older patafilm replay-supplement, acting as a visual note, complementing or even short-circuiting the posted voodle's apparent "meaning".

Today's Bonus Lumiere video features likewise a night scene this time in a modern urban setting. (Lum # 79 "copenhagen nighthawks " 00'51'', 5MB, Quicktime/mov)
