time
time reminds me of life. time is the most essential component of life. cinema is a language that captures time. cinema is also our mythology. it deals with lifes, people, emotions.
sickness
the day before yesterday I was with the flu. fever, tired body. slept bad, with alucinations. next day, after sleeping until 15:00, i was almost recovered. i felt as if resurfacing on the other side. the sickness was some kind of death sickness as the dark side (concept by Susan Sontag, ‘sickness as a metaphor’ […]
Cannibalism as a start
I started my research inspired by an early XX century brazilian artistic movement. It was called Anthropophagism (synonym for cannibalism). It is basis is the act of appropriation. The projects I envisioned were related to the use of computers to cannibalize current social, artistic and political issues. In other words, to automate the process of […]

Quotations | Ask MetaFilter
The first condition, therefore, that any mythology must fulfill if it is to render life to modern lives is that of cleansing the doors of perception to the wonder, at once terrible and fascinating, of ourselves and of the universe of which we are the ears and eyes and the mind. -Joseph Campbell, Myths to […]

science as excluding process
We can compare lock-in to scientific method. The philosopher Karl Popper was correct when he claimed that science is a process that disqualifies thoughts as it proceeds – one can, for example, no longer reasonably believe in a flat Earth that sprang into being some thousands years ago. Science removes ideas from play empirically, for […]
translation
the conversion of something from one form or medium into another : the translation of research findings into clinical practice. formal or technical the process of moving something from one place to another : the translation of the relics of St. Thomas of Canterbury. [from mac os dictionary] Translators always risk inappropriate spill-over of […]
david rokeby and computers and language
by David Rokeby In his diaries, Austrian writer Peter Handke at one points talks about “formulation” as the beginning of forgetting. This aligned very nicely with my experience of the tradeoffs that occur when language is applied to phenomena. What is gained is the ability to externalize the experience as a token that can be […]

father and son in the shark’s belly
– Oh, Father, dear Father! Have I found you at last? Now I shall never, never leave you again! – The sea was rough and the whitecaps overturned the boat. Then a Terrible Shark came up out of the sea and, as soon as he saw me in the water, swam quickly toward me, put […]

recursion
Recursion is the process of repeating items in a self-similar way. For instance, when the surfaces of two mirrors are exactly parallel with each other the nested images that occur are a form of infinite recursion. The term has a variety of meanings specific to a variety of disciplines ranging from linguistics to logic. The […]

John Cage : “Wherever we are, what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it, it disturbs us. When we listen to it, we find it fascinating.”
smart computers
if computers get as smart as brains, then they will make assumptions and stupid mistakes as humans do. poeme numerique, baltan laboratories, david rokeby
about tools
leap frog: stick to one tool or set of tools for 3 years. because now there are too much money and resources and these make you keep changing tools and therefore solving technical problems instead of creative ones. stick to tools, create your own libraries and keep using them, as a language or toolbox. tools […]
