I am completely tired of people complaining. The infrastructure of our conditional realities are becoming more and more transparent yet we insist on pretending that we don’t understand how things work, so we can continue to complain and brood over trivial matters as to assign some twisted form of responsibility to our otherwise gradually deflating egos. Even more dangerous, is when we apply the same paradigm to more than trivial matters, and pretend to ignore the larger machines behind the curtains…which aren’t really there at all. Our ambitions become stunted as we continue to cultivate fear and insignificance in a world regulated by vapid and elusive standards, stilted merely by the arbitrary mechanics of commerce and power.

We are fucking magicians. Sorcerers. God damn wizards and warriors…Yet we continue to self-loathe and bang our heads against the fabric of time. We have to realize that its not about “figuring it out.” Nothing is finite. It may be entirely possible that we are beginning to evolve beyond our binary architecture…all we have to do is acknowledge it. We have the ability to believe ANYTHING we want. it only begins there…

So we make art. We conjure up noises and arrange light in space. Somehow we feel okay when see something new…

...and on these blogs, dubious statistics are cited, sometimes even in the title.

Like, for example, every ten minutes, the world community of live visualists, VJ's, create 159 new klips for use in their sets.

22% percent of these klips are found to kinda suck, and so are never played out, but between 5 and 9% have something about them that makes them versatile and strong, and they always get dropped.

So, thanks for checking out my very first musings on the state of performance visuals.

Let me tell you, it will get better from here, it has to. Because all the statistics above, I completely made up.

But I've been making and playing live visuals for a while now, and future posts from me will bear the stamp of some Deep Thought, allright?

Thanks in advance, as they say.

modern language, as it lay, has given us the power to override the the mental tyranny of idolatry and its "idols" therein. however, the cyclical nature of our evolution has folded time in on itself once again, as the "idol" gains popularity within the superstructure of the once, enlightening and revolutionary, now prevalent and familiar modern language.

the ancient ideals of love, respect, gods and hierarchy have been tabled as just that; "ancient." through the "great divide" of communications after the fall of polytheism, we had hoped to gain a more practical understanding of our reality and the origin of our being. while accelerating at almost uncomfortable speeds to a seemingly hastily "enlightened" state, we suddenly look back at the ancient ideals and relearn the languages as if we had landed here from another planet, poking and prodding at our history as a foreign entity, catergorizing our discoveries, writing essays, expediting our efforts into foreign lands, smoking the leaves of the ancients, hoping to catch a glimpse of their prophecy. what was once commonplace, has become the infatuation and fantasy of a world cloaked in a kind of front end, humanized "GUI," allowing us to stay disconnected from the ACTUAL, therefore experiencing the PERPETUAL VIRTUAL.

while we have developed and possessed a great and beautiful power to use this kind of interface to vicariously re-experience our history, we have often mistaken this vicarious (virtual) experience to be the actual. "if we have learned it, we must BE it." what ancient languages and communication as a whole had achieved, was a kind of presence that was undeniable, as if to say, "this is the way it is, because this is the way we understand it NOW." the grandiose idea of the future was perhaps more a simple mathematical function, rather than the prophetic END OF LINE that has plagued the modern perception of our role in time and space, henceforth driving us to near madness trying to "understand" as much as we possibly can, before its too late.

The dreaming life is the only one.

I as the whale, dream of a careless flood.

Let me stand beside you. And relish in your abundance.

An artist's power comes from only one strict adherence.

A philosophy.

Moving... The art of centralized living defragmentation and consolidation. What do you really need? What memories can you part with?

If anything can shed light on something else, what kind of light are you emitting?

"all information wants to be free."

in our life time we will see that all art, music, writing and software will be free. personal expression will be freed from the corporate chains of money making that have compromised our mainstream culture. the target marketing that has gutted individual thought will be rendered ineffective. everybody is the creator and consumer.
