"'Educational Complex' is a model of every school I ever went to, plus the home I grew up in, with all the parts I can’t remember left blank. They’re all combined into a new kind of structure that looks like a kind of modernist building. I started to think about this structure through the Gesamtenswerk, the ‘total artwork’, of Rudolf Steiner, where he tries to combine all the arts and develop a kind of rule system according to which every art form is related."

Eating in Public at the Creative Time Summit

A talk by Gaye Chan and Nandita Sharma.
Eating in Public has utilized guerilla Papaya gardening, an independent rhizomatic recycling program, and a chain of anti-capitalist free stores to challenge authoritarian power structures and the system of private property/public state. The collective embodies a D.I.Y. ethos, creating local mimetic project structures that encourage people to share, replicate, and expand the work. Building on the work of the 17th century Diggers, Eating in Public actively attempts to reclaim and expand the egalitarian commons in the middle of capitalist society. Most recently, Eating in Public has independently designed, installed, and documented easily replicable recycling bins throughout the island of O’ahu.

Wild Distortions of Space and Time

I'm now experimenting with the formal conventions of super 8mm film and its literal and figurative relationships with space and time. The flux of space and time through an individual's perception is particularly interesting to me, as is the 'self-ness' and physicality of celluloid to embody these fluctuations. Both the individual and the film stock bring idiosyncrasies to bear on perception that limit and define how they see (like, maybe, personal history is roughly equivalent to a film's ISO speed; or something like that; or, maybe, it's a stretch). To the end of building an idiosyncratic way for my super 8 to 'see', I've been shooting still frames with:

a: telephoto focal length
b: infinity focus distance
c: continuous f/stop of 4

Meaning, when projected, that each frame will be variously over or under exposed depending on the available light, and in or out of focus depending on the subjective distance of the camera to or from the subject. However, since each frame lasts for 1/18 of a second these fluctuations will hopefully blend into each other and transform themselves into some kind of other whole.

So, anyway, here are three works I've referenced among others, though I've been struggling to remember my lit theory days for help with some criticism:

Call for entries: ElectroSmog Festival-> Resisting Mobility

ElectroSmog is a new festival that explores the concept ‘Sustainable Immobility’ in theory and practice. Sustainable Immobility is first of all a critique of the growing global crisis of mobility. Current forms of hyper-mobility of people and products in travel and transport are ecologically increasingly unsustainable. The will to slow down, however, seems thoroughly absent. The economic crisis may have temporarily slowed matters down, long term projections still point towards exponential growth of worldwide mobility and exploding energy needs. Alternatives for the current state of hyper-mobility need to be designed urgently.

The exploration of Sustainable Immobility is a quest for a lifestyle less determined by speed and constant mobility. A lifestyle that celebrates stronger links to local cultures, while at the same time deepening our connections to others across any geographical divide by means of new communication technologies, instead of physical travel. More about the festival and how to enter work.
