On the space of waiting

 " You have changed lately. You don’t know whom you can trust anymore. Nothing seems to be, as you know it. You are confused. You need help. Therefore you have been called for observation in the psychiatric waiting place, the Laguna, for a five hour psychological screening…. The Laguna, is a temporary residence where psychiatric patients can stay for up to a year. The institution houses approximately 25 non-violent patients primarily of Non Danish European descent…. During your stay you will participate in different tests and activities with your co-patients….Waiting time may occur..."

Embedded (once more) in a new, challenging performative setting, Sam Renseiw managed to capture some snippets of (under-cover) footage under the duress of a five hours, continuous psychological screening session.

" The subject matter of the present voodle is theatrical performance cloning, the (re)production of a human peformance by means of somatic festival transfer or similar cultural events. Just as fertilization, if successful, generates an urban performance, cloning produces the same result by combining what is normally combined and activated in fertilization, that is, the full performative code plus the theatrical cytoplasm.

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."

An untitled testimonial

“.... To me, the simple act of tying a knot is an adventure in unlimited space. A bit of string, affords dimensional latitude that is unique among the entities; for an uncomplicated strand is a palpable object that for all practical purposes posses one dimension only. If we move a single strand out of the plane, into lacing at will, actual objects of beauty result in as is practically two-dimensions….”

Ofelia's delicate line of balance

According to Ayurveda, being in balance means that we live in tune with our particular nature, which we are each born with. Being in balance means our body mobilizes its own perfectly attuned defense system to keep us well. It seems implicit in Ayurvedic tradition to treat not only physical inorganic level, but also non-physical biological, social and intellect levels as well. Mental stress, arising from our social interactions with others, become physical illnesses affecting biological level moral codes. Intellect level cannot treat biological level moral codes directly, but must first address social environment stress.

The delicate subject of everyday stress management. Enjoy a delicate moment of balance, caught by Renseiw in circus mood. Or enter by clicking on the red bat.

Subjectivity as focus

"...As to the interpretations of the quantum paradoxes, we emphatically endorse the discovery that consciousness creates reality, when it triggers the collapse of Schrödinger's function, turning actual (real) what was only a potential existence (imaginary). That process, countless repeated in all observational actions, turns actual worlds potentially hidden in quantum possibilities, as it builds his or her parallel universe around that observing subjectivity."

Thus, we link ourselves also to the interpretation of the multiple universes, of Hugh Everett III, as we acknowledge the universe as, actually, a multiverse: An inexhaustible unfolding of universes that can portray small - or much accentuated - differences among themselves. However, we distinguish our interpretation from Everett's. He admits that all countless versions of universes in some way would "exist", superposed in a hyper-space of endless simultaneous realities as we, collectively, would only have consciousness of one. In our view, conversely, each of these multiple versions can exist only when centralized around a subjectivity that functions as its existential nucleus: Each subjectivity is the center of his or her own parallel universe..."

basic semiotics for beginners

…”Most contemporary semioticians regard rhetoric (or at least aspects of it) as falling within the domain of semiotics. The study of what Saussure called 'the role of signs as part of social life' could not exclude the ancient art of persuasion. Whilst a general overview of rhetoric is beyond the scope of this film, a concern with certain key tropes (or figures of movement) is so prominent in semiotic theory that one cannot embark on an exploration of semiotics without some understanding of this topic…”
