Re: Reviews of Technologies and Books I like

2006-01-09 Thread phanero

The only thing I've read by brilliakooky klaus is his essay
Circles, Lines and Bits which I thought was marvelously eccentric..
His discussion of busby berkely and the rosettes of consciousness
the flowering drainpipes of ornamental symmetries as models
for an architectural harmonia or some such.. its excellent wiggy stuff.
rich scholarship..

i'll pick up the male fantasies book..
btw which Lingis text should I get.. there's a bunch of them
is Excesses the best place to start.. there's another one called
Abuses which sounds sort of like an updating of Levi-Strauss'
Tristes Tropiques in a way

Here's the Grotesque Studies Bibliography I am going to try and work from as 
well:

This is a great list, Lanny -

Have you read Theweleit's Male Fantasies? I'm assuming you have - it fits
well in the list you've presented. I love Berrigan btw - met him once
through Aram Saroyan. I think Alice Notley is still far more interesting -
they were married. You've read Paul Blackburn? Another terrific -

Re: two films for large projection

2006-01-09 Thread phanero

la poupee parergon... virtual automata ala Hans Bellmer..
these have always reminded me of Bellmer's work
especially the etchings.. he used a cross-hatching technique
which is very wire-frame like..

i would happy as well with some larger still jpgs say 2M of some of the more
gorgeous frames.. like the final frame on the first piece..
of course this is my rather ancient predjudice against the moving
automata.. I broke out Christopher A. Faraone's Talismans and Trojan Horses:
Guardian Statues in Ancient Greek Myth and Ritual.
while watching these which has possibly one of the more easily accessible 
discussions
of binding statues and the strange ancient discourse about 'sacred bondage' w/ 
reference
to statues.. I've told you about the apotropaic foot-twisting before, but
I think you might enjoy this material.. There's another important discussion 
about
the implications of the kinetic vs static sculptural  image in Indra Kagis 
McEwen's
Socrate's Ancestor..

If I get inspired I'll type in the wonderous table A4-1 called

The Incarceration of Dangerous Statues

Alan, youre probably one of the only artists I've seen whose work
even comes close to resonating with this fascinating material.
Even Daniel Tiffany completely skips over the whole range
of classical automata which was a HUGE disappointment
for me, choosing to focus on the later demonstrably 'historical'
material.. There is a whole swath of ancient mythology which
is basically dealing with ROBOTS.. Even Plato and Aristophanes
make jokes about peripatetic daidala whose flight is equated
with that of a fugitive slave.. if one was to see the statue of Lygodesma
one would go insane, or there would be civil discord, or plague..
this is weirdo magico-aesthetic imbroglio at its finest..\

statue bondage, foot twisting, chimeras.. you've got it all baby
I LOVE IT!!!

so anyway slip that Kagis McEwen and Faraone in there
and throw out some big giant stills of those monsters
PLEASE!!!

there's one frame where the female torso is curling around
with a kind of shroud like mine.. the way the eyes look is exquisitely
uncanny.. can you imagine those things as real mobiles
with some kind of smart metal fabric for skin with inflatable bladders
inside controlled remotely.. we could build some kinetic humanoid
topos like that somehow it seems, a fibreglass frame some servos
a plastic mesh body covered in latex and hooked up to a nitrogen
feed.. something..

these should be in the tate

two films for large projection

yes, yes, yes, the film was found in a ceiling.
honestly, sealed up in the boards. brian gave it to me.
8mm which originated in 1932 but the images are much older.
i'd say from 1920 or so perhaps 1915 perhaps 1905.
even this version chattered in the projector
broke five times in the projector.
now there's this image on top of it.
two versions of the image melded unmelded.
then what's what.
now the image melded unmelded projected ten fifteen feet up there.
dancers are below. oh they want to jump on the bodies.
they want the bodies to jump on them.

Listening to Marty Robbins .. :)

Can anyone please Help ME!
I met this artist in Tokyo a few years ago, and had one of the strongest 
reactions to his work ever..
this guy was a genuine master, and his hungry ghost paintings were so 
incredibly beautiful
they brought tears to my eyes.. You have to realize I was in this very shishi 
ginza district gallery
ooh and aahing and asking to buy a catalogue.. and the receptionist was like.. 
You meet
the artist? I was like Yes.. She took me upstairs, and this small incredibly 
elegant older man in a
leather jacket was standing around with some younger looking artist types.. all 
smoking of course..
very japanese, but extremely cool.. I gushed something about hungry ghosts' 
beautiful monsters
etc.. he smiled.. and had one of his assistants bring me a catalogue which he 
signed.. We spent a good
hour or more looking at all the work. it was like a retrospective, the whole 
gallery was full of his stuff,
and of course we got served tea in the gallery which I thought was nice. Anyway 
can anyone
tell me this guy's name. I think I found it out once, but I've forgotten and 
I'd like to know.
I may scan in some of the paintings from the catalogue if I can get his name.

I practiced these sands, the freshest crowns

2006-01-09 Thread Harrison Jeff

I've sleeping for a book, —  serenely desert, and
I'm, with the sands, in sleep, and in sleep I'm sand

how could anyone be ready for that verse tablet
when sands and maids readily amaze, and on which side
glint my Virginia triggers? the verse or the sands?
do the sands — wait —

160,000 maidens in this desert pour their water-vases into
the sands, saying Appius Claudius, under your tutelage shine, this
night, only these waters,  their abashed coolness, far beneath earth

do the sands favor the maidens, or the water far beneath their toes?

were it daytime, would the maidens shine with the sands?

with the sands piled upon my breast, I'll be repeated with each wave —
with each long-lulled read through the verse tablet 160,000 maids water

Alan - Re: Whose irreverent angles

2006-01-09 Thread Peter Ciccariello

Alan,

Thinking today, I realized that a great deal of what you refer to as 
womb-like space, is actually a function of where I like to place the 
camera in the virtual landscape. In radically close field of view 
perspectives, that function as wide-angle zooms, the landscape 
distorts, like a fish-eye lens. The sky, mountains, and terrain 
disfigure and focus around the central object, in this case, a cairn 
of balanced rocks. I am most comfortable in these types of tactile, 
illusory spaces. I like the implication of 
speed/searching/recognition/focus/acuity. My thought is that given the 
ambiguous text of the poem, text that is hidden/obscured/secreted, the 
reader must rely on visual clues in the image and title for meaning and 
context. The title is a line from the starting poem; the poem contents 
are mapped into the forms of the landscape, instilling language with 
plasticity points to the soundlessness of the spoken word. The visual 
then becomes the spoken poem.
