On problem(s) of empathy in voodle space

"The point of the local epoché can perhaps best be brought out if we follow the voodle in applying it to the case of perceptual experience. The voodler is supposed to perform his descriptions from a first-person point of view, so as to ensure that the respective item is described exactly as it is experienced. Now in the case of perceptual experience one cannot, of course, both fall victim to and at the same time discover a particular perceptual error; it is always possible that one is subject to an illusion or even a hallucination, so that one's perceptual experience is not veridical. If one is hallucinating, there is really no object of perception. However, phenomenologically the experience one undergoes is exactly the same as if one were successfully perceiving an external object."

Still pondering on the nature of experiences in the quotidian, Sam Renseiw collaged footage from recent in-door activities.

Today's Bonus Lumiere Video is a clear & phenomenological simple, interpretative -descriptive still-voodle, open to experience analysis. And also: a seemingly much larger space, denied. (Lum # 206, 01'00'' " horizon fence ", 6MB, Quicktime/mov)

On place & memory in a moving image

" I travelled for four more hours to Belo Horizonte this Sunday morning. The heat & humidity were tropical, while it was freezing cold on my balcony. I stayed indoors, having a long and warm conversation with E. She also showed me her dog, barking in the garden, from the balcony. The fleeting image of the dog kept on lingering in my mind & blended with memory snippets of E. entering the the air-conditioned room & closing the door. "

In the attempt to gather some contours of space and movement, Sam Renseiw, stretched a snippet of skyped Brazilian time and re-framed it.

On memory and body


click for: Quicktime version / Flash version

"Stuck, then, with the transition from image to memory, the same past seized as an object now emerges without the visual glare, now decomposed as a scene comprised from the kinesthetic remnants of a blurred image.The touch replaces the eye. I do not remember, but my body does.(1) With that shift, a horizon of undiscovered experience is undiscovered."

Side Effects can take various shapes. Generous and concisely written observations, out there, in the vast blogmaze, for one; Not as linguistically and scholarly eloquent, Sam Renseiw rescued a short part of the documentation of The Invisible Reality Show, to crudely illustrate a relationship of body and memory.
