A Dangerous Method

2011-07-01T11:41:00.000+01:00

A Dangerous Method is an upcoming historical film, directed by David Cronenberg and starring Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender, Keira Knightley and Vincent Cassel. The screenplay was adapted by Academy Award-winning writer Christopher Hampton from his 2002 stage play The Talking Cure, itself based on the 1993 non-fiction book by John Kerr, A Most Dangerous Method.

Zoo, or Letters Not about Love

2011-06-25T00:15:00.004+01:00

"In one of the Bogomil’s legends, God
wants to get some sand from the bottom of
the sea.

But God is reluctant to get wet, so He
sends the devil and bids him say, when he
takes the sand, “It is not I who take, but
God.”

To the very bottom dived the devil, to the
bottom he whirled; he seized the sand and
he said, “It is not God who takes, but I.”

A proud devil.

The sand was not given. The devil
surfaced, blue.

Once again did God send him into the
water.

To the bottom swam the devil, and,
scraping the sand with his talons, he said:
“It is not God who takes, but I.”

The sand was not given. The devil
surfaced, gasping for breath. For the third
time did God send him into the water.

In a folk tale, everything is done three
times.

The devil saw that he was getting
nowhere.

He hated to spoil the plot. He began
weeping, I imagine, and he dived. He
swam to the bottom and said, “It is not I
who take, but God.” He took the sand and
he surfaced. And out of the sand taken
from the bottom by the devil, at God’s
behest, God created man."

~~__________________________________~~

"Often at night, in returning from your
place, I passed under the twelve iron
bridges.

(…)
I had far to go. Every night, on the corner
of Potsdamerstrasse, I always saw the
same prostitute in a red hat.

She hummed something when she saw me,
then spoke in a language
incomprehensible to me.

I kept walking; I had far to go.

What’s to be done, comrade in the red hat!

There are many different animals on this
earth and each of them praises and curses
God in his own way.

You who have no words, you dive to the
bottom of the sea and you bring from the
bottom of the sea only sand fluid as mud.

And I have many words and much
strength, but she to whom I speak all my
words is a foreigner."

"My work explores the relationship between emerging sexualities and midlife subcultures.
With influences as diverse as Wittgenstein and Francis Bacon, new synergies are crafted from both traditional and modern meanings.

Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated by the traditional understanding of the human condition. What starts out as hope soon becomes corroded into a cacophony of greed, leaving only a sense of what could have been and the prospect of a new reality.

As shifting impressions become clarified through diligent and personal practice, the viewer is left with an insight into the edges of our condition."

&amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;gt;De

"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!"
Rudyard Kipling (1895)

Take a baggie of a water-baking soda solution and seal it. (Make sure there is no air in it since the solution will form a gas and you don't want it to pop on you.) Then put it in a bigger plastic bag and fill it with vinegar and seal it. When thrown, the two substances will mix and cause a violently bubbling substance to go all over the victim.

Guggenheim Foundation for significant achievement in contemporary art, with an attached honorarium of $100,000. In a unique gesture to the museum Feldmann proposed the idea of creating an installation that would involve tacking 100,000 $1 bills to the walls of a large gallery off the Frank Lloyd Wright ramp. ~~Via NYT~~

A Plucky Steeplejack

2011-05-30T12:27:00.000+01:00

This is a photograph of a steeplejack named Will Ramsner, lying on the top of a sixty-foot flag-pole on the building known as the Boston Block. He used to climb up the staff with no aid except his hands and legs. When reaching the top he had to climb over the butt, which is almost the size of an ordinary barrel. Ramsner’s object in performing this feat, which attracted thousands of people, was to advertise his trade. While on his high perch he smoked cigarettes and read a newspaper, which he eventually threw down to the crowd below, who tore it into small pieces, keeping them as souvenirs.
– Strand, August 1906

"Yes, he was loved … beyond deceiving…
Or so at least with joy he thought.
Oh, blest is he who lives believing,
Who takes cold intellect for naught,
Who rests within the heart’s sweet places
As does a drunk in sleep’s embraces,
Or as, more tenderly I’d say,
A butterfly in blooms of May;
But wretched he who’s too far-sighted,
Whose head is never fancy-stirred,
Who hates all gestures, each warm word,
As sentiments to be derided,
Whose heart … experience has cooled
And barred from being loved … or fooled!"

— Alexander Pushkin, Eugene Onegin (1833)

Immersive Cocoon "2011"

Keir Dullea encounters a mysterious object, in a scenario reminiscent of the penultimate scene from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey that he appeared in over forty years ago.

This spec teaser was developed over a two year period on a shoestring budget. Live action was filmed multi-camera, against greenscreen atop a backlit plexi floor. Mr. Dullea was then integrated into an entirely digitally created CG set rendered at 1080HD.

Sea Watching

2011-05-16T20:08:00.001+01:00

Grey waters, vast
                        as an area of prayer
that one enters. Daily
                      over a period of years
I have let my eye rest on them.
Was I waiting for something?
                                          Nothing
but that continuous waving
                             that is without meaning
occurred.
              Ah, but a rare bird is
rare. It is when one is not looking
at times one is not there
                                  that it comes.
You must wear your eyes out
as others their knees.
               I became the hermit
of the rocks, habited with the wind
and the mist. There were days,
so beautiful the emptiness
it might have filled,
                          its absence
was as its presence; not to be told
any more, so single my mind
after its long fast,
                          my watching from praying.

The End of Science Fiction

2011-04-27T22:13:00.000+01:00

This is not fantasy, this is our life.
We are the characters
who have invaded the moon,
who cannot stop their computers.
We are the gods who can unmake
the world in seven days.

Both hands are stopped at noon.
We are beginning to live forever,
in lightweight, aluminum bodies
with numbers stamped on our backs.
We dial our words like Muzak.
We hear each other through water.

The genre is dead. Invent something new.
Invent a man and a woman
naked in a garden,
invent a child that will save the world,
a man who carries his father
out of a burning city.
Invent a spool of thread
that leads a hero to safety,
invent an island on which he abandons
the woman who saved his life
with no loss of sleep over his betrayal.

Invent us as we were
before our bodies glittered
and we stopped bleeding:
invent a shepherd who kills a giant,
a girl who grows into a tree,
a woman who refuses to turn
her back on the past and is changed to salt,
a boy who steals his brother’s birthright
and becomes the head of a nation.
Invent real tears, hard love,
slow-spoken, ancient words,
difficult as a child’s
first steps across a room.
