spiritual protection method

At a pond where ice used in the Imperial court at Nara in Japan was made, a guardian deity of the hiike was enshrined in a structure that was built around the year 710, together with the himuro, a storeroom for the ice, in the Kasugano-Dield beside the Yoshikigawa River.

progression recognition

the future can influence the past - the length of a straight line directly between two points through three-dimensional space is called spatial distance - past events with no connection except the continent of appearance and a body present at both locations may still be connected - the specific moments in time are not relevant if time has no linear progression - interferences with people at one location will have direct influence on interferences with people at other locations - if we could view time in multiple directions we would be able to recognise how tomorrow created yesterday

roadies

fabulous road to nowhere
finding a new way of walking and a new way of working
nostalgic futurism, sentimental phantasies
finding a way across the sea, with no destination
torn and born by the winds of the wild
synchronised by the moon

deliberate

Anthropocentrism interprets or regards the world in terms of human values and experiences. Nudge is a concept in behavioural economics, political theory, and behavioural sciences which proposes positive reinforcement and indirect suggestions as ways to influence the behaviour and decision making of groups or individuals. The applications of subliminal stimuli are often based on the persuasiveness of a message. Visual stimuli are often masked by forward and backward masks so that they can be displayed for longer periods of time without the subject being able to recognise the priming stimuli. A forward mask is briefly displayed before the priming stimulus and a backward mask usually follows it to prevent the subject from recognising the stimulus. Auditory subliminal stimuli are shown to have some effect on the participant, but not a large one. Perception without awareness can be demonstrated through the comparison of direct and indirect measures of perception. Subliminal priming can direct people's actions even when they believe they are making free choices. Born John Milton Cage Jr. was born on September 5, 1912 in Los Angeles, California, and died August 12, 1992, at the age of 29196 days, in Manhattan, New York. Cage is perhaps best known for his 1952 composition 4′33″, which is performed in the absence of deliberate sound; musicians who present the work do nothing aside from being present for the duration specified by the title. In early 1951 he was presented a copy of a Chinese classic text which describes a symbol system used to identify order in chance events. All of his music since then was composed using chance procedures. Chance operations are methods of generating structures independent of the author’s will. Chance operations potentially do not constitute the suspension of structure but, instead, could opens up new non-anthropocentric perspectives, and may entail absolute commitment to the adherence towards rigorous processes. Non-anthropocentrism requires an extension and revision of standard ethical principles.

trustworthy

A core objective of a learner is to generalise from its experience. Algorithms are using historical information to make a prediction about the future. Machine learning is a scoring system that scores the probability of what you are about to do. Systems which are trained on datasets collected with biases may exhibit these biases upon use, thus digitising cultural prejudices. In linguistics, a corpus (plural corpora) or text corpus is a language resource consisting of a large and structured set of texts. Because human languages contain biases, machines trained on language corpora will necessarily also learn these biases. Responsible collection of data and documentation of algorithmic rules used by a system thus is a critical part of machine learning. Researchers’ sense of responsibility for accurately capturing information will support the development of trustworthy research. Normative ethics is the study of ethical action. The general field of ethics, along with aesthetics, concerns matters of value, and thus comprises the branch of philosophy called axiology, which is also closely related to value theory and meta-ethics. In the social sciences, value theory involves various approaches that examine how, why, and to what degree humans value things and whether the object or subject of valuing is a person, idea, object, or anything else.

#IV Reconstruction Specimen Trial - The Jolly Low Noise
FREIER EINTRITT, KUNST, FILM and DIGITALE KULTUR
Eröffnung: Mo 09.07., 19h

When you think about the current moment you think you experience it as the present time, while it is indeed already the recollection of something that just happened.
Like with all memories, the human mind reassembles past experiences from fractions and fragments that are constructed into echoes of the animated spirit.
Documents are traces that allow us to go on a quest, to engage in a search for what once happened while we participated in reality.
This quest is a journey, a hunt, an investigation, and a pursuit, whenever we try to examine what we think we remember.
Creating a patchwork of smithereens our imagination is permanently establishing new realities.
In synchronicity, the evidence of our existence is quietly intrinsic and boldly performed.

a spell to stay alive and connected
being alive is being connected
to what you love and what you loved before
loved before it drifted apart and you
try to find the spell that create the thread

how does it feel

Blue Monday is the name given to a day in January (typically the third Monday of the month), said by a UK travel company, Sky Travel, to be the most depressing day of the year. The concept was first published in a 2005 press release from the company, which claimed to have calculated the date using an "equation". It takes into account weather conditions and thus only applies to the Northern Hemisphere. Scientists have dismissed the idea as baseless pseudoscience, as mischief and shenanigans. How does it feel, when you treat me like you do @seksox.lynx? Saint Monday is the tradition of absenteeism on a Monday. The tradition of taking Monday off has been common among craft workers since at least the seventeenth century, when the workweek ran from Monday to Saturday as had been the custom and expectation for centuries. In his autobiography, Benjamin Franklin refers to the hidden, but not secret practice, saying of his youthful employment in a London printing house, "My constant attendance (I never making a St. Monday) recommended me to the master". Later writers often ascribed Saint Monday to the organisation and improvement of working class life which occurred with industrialisation. Pay day was typically Saturday, and therefore workers often had spare money on Monday. Business owners in some industries had become accustomed to workers not arriving on Monday, and were willing to tolerate it. Food would commonly be left over from the weekend, thus workers did not need to visit the works canteen, and since many workers were taking the day off, there was often company to be had. The tradition declined during the nineteenth century, but the provision of entertainments, such as railway excursions, was initially common on Saturday and Monday, and it was not until the middle of the century that workers were able to enjoy a weekend. In part, the decline can be attributed to the adoption of half-day working on Saturdays, which legitimated leisure time for workers. Saint Monday remained in place longest among the better-off workers, including the self-employed who retained some say in their hours and were not economically compelled to work long hours. An 18th-century folk song from Sheffield, England, "The Jovial Cutler", portrays a craftsman enjoying a lazy Saint Monday, much to the dismay of his wife.

Window gazer (Japan)- Non-terminable workers with no tasks. Window viewers ( Japanese 窓 際 族 madogiwa zoku ) are employees in Japanese working life who cannot be dismissed for life due to their contractual employment and for whom there is no longer any task. This can also affect employees who are not eligible for a promotion and for whom, for example, younger colleagues take on the previous tasks. [1] Window viewers are designed to spend their time at work by literally “looking out of the window”. Window-gazers are entrusted with pseudo-tasks, sent on vacation with a reduced salary, subcontracted or offered early retirement. Other expressions for this situation are “in-house unemployment” (企業 内 失業 kigyōnai shitsugyō ) [2] or “ghost workforce” (幽 霊 社員 yūrei shain).

bits and pieces

You will not find a coherent, meaningful, informative, profound, or significant collection of examples of my diverse and multilayered spectrum of artistic expression anywhere online. You will only find random samples from the past that remained public as they had coincidentally ended up somewhere on the internet and have not been removed since then. Most of the more recent work has never found its way online, so in case you are interested in what I have been engaged in lately - get in touch.
Until then - enjoy the bits and pieces, the fragments and remains of what I once dropped into the www.

Castle of Iznájar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_of_Iznájar
Castillo de Iznájar is an 8th-century castle in Iznájar, Province of Córdoba in Andalucia, southern Spain. The castle is perched on the high ridge. It has a triangular design, truncated on the northeast side, with its longest side facing south, and a large central space. It is surrounded by a stretch of wall with flanking towers at the southeast and southwest corners. The east side is closed by a rectangular building, which is attached to the west with a pentagonal tower at the bow, and another tower in the east. Early access to the castle is believed to have been from the east side through a building attached to the primitive rectangular tower. It was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural monument on June 22, 1993.

antisocial

now, that the former negasonic twitterhead slash president had been ejected from most of the social media posting machines there has been enough time passed, like about three months, to come back to a more reflective interaction with the medium

it did not matter that there had been a few artificial obstacles, like the limits to - how many - 44 characters, or 120, or 140, sometime maybe 160 or 280 or whatever, these numbers did not count because every chunk could be followed up by many more ....

this just cut a text into segments, like they do it in poetry, creating a rhythm and a timed sequence for reception and experience and the condensed way of a bit by bit publishing even allowed a new way to emphasise and enhance specific elements of a message

bless your heart, puddin - but - that's not what I wanted to write about, in more than 99 characters now, that the dominating monster has been sent to the penalty box I picked up the dropped ball of bouncing words and images

no, I am still not at ease with the dynamics and meanings of the medium and my struggle with the needs and requirements and conditions has not changed as this takes time and focus and resources that I take from other places while not swimming in an abundance of them

so what was the actual thought - ah, yes - the writing - that is unlike the way a book is written and then also read - - as I assume -
usually from the front to the end, which is - in many cases -
from the beginning of a story to its end - in a linear form -
a blog, or tweets, or social media, or stuff like that is most likely also written in a similar sequence, but consumed in various different ways

if visited and reviewed and revisited and viewed at later times the order of posts, the order of tweets, the order of statements is strangely reversed, mainly with the newest on the top and thus the beginning of a story at the end of the text, right?

an then there is - depending on the platform used - the additional level that can include links, and images and re-posts and comments and more and that makes everything really, really complicated, because its is all a big fat mixed up monster mash

so far I have no readers, no viewers, no followers or fans, and I like that because it keeps me free from any potentially annoying interactions that would suck up even more time, energy, focus and attention and it's for no good anyways

this is not oblivion

I am alive in shards of ego
adventurous in smithereens
smashed to chips and spalls and flakes and slivers
tumbling across a bridge of glass
to reach the glooming darkness within

ideas can only be acknowledged, never protected
ideas may be respected and honoured, but never copyrighted
because all ideas are always less than a tip of an iceberg
that does not let you see what it is actually building on
beyond the sea of green and blue and

- by the way - I am not alone in that
I still have not found what I am looking for,
but I guess, these days, it is the normal thing to experience
as there is nothing left to be found
so nothing left to be looking for

break yourself down in fragments, split up the core
so the winds can carry the ashes to all four corners of
the universe, the realms of relative eternity
and if the odds and gods are in your favour
some splinters of your soul will carry on a bit

and will you watch me sinking?

he: there is no reason
she: there is always a reason for everything, or at least a cause
he: that may be the case, but I don’t care about that
she: but I do, and I want to know why you put out this crap and not the important stuff?
he: that sounds condescending and degrading
she: because it is, in a way, not about you, but about the stuff that you publish
he: you call that publishing?
she: it is, and it can potentially be seen by many people!
he: see …
she: see what?
he: potentially, but not really, it’s hovering in insignificance, safely and sound
she: it could be seen by very many people, and then they would not get it …
he: - and that’s exactly the point!
she: what - that you are not seen and what you show is meaningless and absurd?
he: yeah, kind of -
she: that’s not a very reasonable and productive attitude!
he: and would you consider that a good thing, or a bad thing, or some other thing?
she: I just want to understand why …
he: why it doesn’t matter?
she: yeah, that too
he: there is nothing specific to understand
she: so why do it at all, what’s it for?
he: for nothing, or for eternity - or just for me - does it really matter?
she: yeah, it does, it can be good for you, or - it could - if you would use it properly
he: I guess I can’t
she: that’s what I see
he: so I just let it be …
she: hmmm, I know, I know, that’s also what I see
he: then it’s ok?
she: grumbles inarticulately

Barrenjoey Head Lighthouse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coordinates 33°34′49″S 151°19′47″E
Location Broken Bay, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Constructed 1881
First lit 1881
Automated 1932
>
The Barrenjoey Head Lighthouse is a heritage-listed lighthouse at Barrenjoey Headland, Palm Beach, Northern Beaches Council, New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by James Barnet, the New South Wales Colonial Architect and built by Isaac Banks. It is also known as Barrenjoey Head Lightstation. The property is owned by Office of Environment and Heritage, an agency of the Government of New South Wales. The lightstation was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. Completed in 1881, the current lighthouse is the third light constructed on the Barrenjoey headland in the Northern Beaches district of Sydney. The light is automated and operated by Roads and Maritime Services; while the buildings are managed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. There is a head keeper's cottage as well as two assistant keeper's cottages located on the headland. They are built from Hawkesbury sandstone quarried from the site, and have galvanized iron roofs.In 1932, the Barrenjoey Lighthouse was converted to automatic operation with the installation of an acetylene Dalén light of 6,000 candlepower. It was turned off and on by a Sun valve. Although the acetylene gas apparatus was efficient, access to the tower for re-supply presented problems, so in 1972 the lighthouse was converted to electric operation, with a new lamp capable of 75,000 candlepower. With automation, the lightkeepers were no longer needed and finally withdrawn.

Who wants to give an interview, a view between the lines?
Another month, another year, another person.
Fill your hours with excitement, but not just.
I sometimes don't know what to say, so I remain quiet.
Waker up every morning and make an important mark.
What stress must that be?
Just a look at a camera, pose, be happy.
I hope you are happy too.

Friday I'm In Love

The current pandemic had not only affected many poles lives in many different ways, it also kept me from following an idea that related to a project, connected to the work of a dead artist from France. Measuring time in years and weeks and days and hours is based on a system that people agreed upon. What we call a Friday or Sunday has a different name in other languages. The year 2020 has a different beginning and end in other cultural areas, and it also has different appellations.
So holding on to one established system is as relevant as holding on to any other, or to none. References and relations are, therefore, nothing else but conventions within an accepted operating system. Fine, I can live with that.
But I could not execute my own idea for a small, personal system of relations and operations. The pandemic prevented me from traveling to France and from there visiting a specific location at a specific time. That time passed, and I can never revisit my original idea, but I have not abandoned the initial desire to connect. Some of the ideas that I recognise in the other artist's life and work reverberated in my own work, so going to a specific location at a specific time and doing something there would have been a way to express this reverberation and to respond to it.
The journey to Paris had been planned for October 19th, 2020, but it could not take place, even a very, very brief visit would have been very, very difficult, based on the restrictions and limitations that we have to follow. As a second element of my original plan, I wanted to install the outcome of the trip at a gallery in Vienna.
The date for the opening had also been defined as November 27th, 2020, so I worked on an alternative solution for this enterprise. Circumstances got even more in the way, and on that specific day, no-one in Austria was allowed to do anything, or at least almost anything. From working on "Plan A" and switching to "Plan B", I had to consider "Plan C" and even "Plan D" - but it didn't end there. No possible audience and no material and no substance to present, all that was not a very encouraging situation. What I ended up doing was something near a "Plan Z", the last possible thing to come up with. And I did like that, ok, in the end. I gave the materialised alternative idea a title and information that goes like this:
"Friday I'm In Love"
performance - text - audio-visuals - installation
Opening: Friday, 27 November 2020
Due to the current lockdown visiting the exhibition is difficult
and complicated, and confusing, and rather strange
viewers discretion advised

How it works?
Find a wall with a minimum size of approx. 3 by 3 metersor approx. 10 by 10 feet. Allow a distance in front of the wall of at least 5 feet or at least 1,5 meters. Find a person who is willing to read and perform a text for a video recording. Write a text that will take about 2 to 3 minutes to read and perform. Mount the background posters in an irregular order on the wall. Explain to the performer that the text should be presented as if a large audience would listen. During the presentation, the performer (male or female) is marking elements on the posters, potentially writing on them, or making marks. Record the person reading and performing the text in front of the wall. Repeat the recording as often as you and the performer are willing to do and select the best parts from each recording, so one complete set of the compiled recording can be constructed. The recording can be made before the exhibition or at the opening. Find a way to make this recording play audio-visually during the exhibition near the wall.
--------------
So although I created something quite different to what my intention had been, I am pleased with the unexpected outcome.
And - it can now be repeated in a way that would allow it to grow and evolve, no matter if that would happen now, or in 60 years ...
Oh, well, I would probably not live as long, but that's a different story.

working at your home office

On March 18th, I emptied and cleaned up the gallery space that I had used for my most recent installation. Late at night on February 26th, I finished setting up the environment that I called "Home Office Heaven". It existed for 19 days only, but it could also have been only one day or only one hour; the duration did not matter to me. "Home Office Heaven" is a work that follows a series of spatial arrangements, spatial compositions of various things. Usually, these settings contain images, sounds, objects and projections, lights and shadows, but these elements may also vary. Lights play a role, and I define specific ways you can move within the space. There is a lot to see, but nothing is explained, and nothing seems to make any deeper sense. Memories and remains stand or hang or lay or hover next to randomly appearing elements and site-specific details. I take and borrow, I acquire and find, I collect and I construct, I create and I produce all the small pieces - then I place them in an unplanned and undersign order. This order of elements, of images, sounds, objects, projections, lights, and shadows, this order is always temporary, and nothing stays the way it appeared. Some elements may get used again in further future installations, but there is no recipe or intent in the back of my mind. These spaces are established very fluently, intuitively and following very sketchy ideas that come and go as I work on at the specific location. I do enter with some ideas and some material, but I am open to getting pushed and pulled into unexpected areas and undiscovered zones. A room, an area, a spot, a place is arranged and rearranged, furnished and equipped, filled and then emptied again. It is a temporary dwelling but nothing to really live in; it is a place of work that is also a habitat for connections, overlaps and interactions. As long as the unexpected and unforeseen that may appear within such spaced can still surprise or inspire me a bit - as long as I feel comfortable for a brief moment in the environment - as long as it satisfies me for a second - it is working for me. I build a space and share it if possible, but I am also happy with it on my own. Sharing can be important and may be required to gain recognition, it may be uplifting or exciting, but it may also be exhausting and demanding. So either way, for me alone or for a large audience, my temporary artistic cribs come and go, again and again. Here I had one that I called "Home Office Heaven" for less than 3 weeks.
That's fine too.

IN-SIDE-OUT in Graz dismantled

On March 20th, the public art-installation titled IN-SIDE-OUT was dismantled. This work had been created by Martina Tritthart and Holger Lang in Graz, Austria, in July 2020. We produced it for the exhibition event "Solaris" that happened at the tunnel under the "Schlossberg", the castle-rock or castle-hill at the capital city of the Austrian state Steiermark. In the "Schlossbergtunnel", this installation contained a dynamic light and sound environment that ran without problems for almost 9 months. In the 234 days of its existence, the only technical problem was once the death of the audio-player and the interruption of the programmed light sequence, both caused by an electrical problem that had affected all installations. We needed a whole day to take all elements apart and emptied this cave-like space for new projects to follow us.
Look for the words "IN-SIDE-OUT", our names (Martina Tritthart, Holger Lang) and our joint operational organisation, called "mutual loop", or "mutualloop" to find more information and audio-visual material about this project. As the tunnel is connecting the upper part of the castle hill with the lower street level near the Mur river, our work had been seen by many people passing through the rock.
It most likely had been a brief impression on many more people than I expect ever to see this post here.


Unrelated, but not less significant.
Or, related, but not significant.
A project that was on display for the most of the last year. For the most of the last year I avoided writing by hand. Writing by hand is very different to writing on a machine, like a computer, and even more different to writing online, like here and now.
About a year with only sporadic handwriting has passed by, and at the end of it I picked up the public typing again, after a very long break. I do not know if there is any connection, but I will try, from today on, to do both, as much as possible and fitting into my days. Does it matter?
Is this a rhetoric question?
Do you care?
Rambling flow of thoughts.

This is a blog that I started in March 2007, which was 14 years ago.
I entered information that had then been up to about 12 years old, starting in 1995.
At that time, it seemed relevant, and I had filled in more posts up to that year.
For about another year, I tried to add more information in parts also because it appeared necessary.
In 2007 a shift in my focus had increased my involvement in academic teaching, research and the communication of knowledge.
The use of social media on a broad scale had also increased around that time, so a blog appeared somewhat necessary.
It also appeared to be a reasonable useful tool to participate in a public discussion.
The big companies that now dominate the internet had not yet been too big, so it was all still volatile and unclear.
In 2008 and 2009, I tried to make sense of it all, tried to use the platform as good as possible.
But it didn't do the trick for me, so I somewhat abandoned it, left it hovering in disregard, neglect and oblivion.
Updates of the platform came, updates of the platform left, my posts did survive the erosion and deterioration.
Digitally it stayed as "fresh" and "pristine" as I had thrown it out onto the world.
In the meantime, a few other entities also collected and shared a bit of information about my doings - and shared them on the internet.
Nobody ever asked me if I wanted that, but I assume that on the internet, that is not a big issue, right?
There is an example at which, for unknown reasons, the focus had been on the year 2004,
with a bit about me before that too, and then some more during a time much later.
The images that I posted with this brief text here is showing a screenshot, taken now, in March 2021.
Kunst- und Forschungsdatenbank - basis Wien - how long will this entity exist on the internet?
This question brought me back here, although I have not much new to say.
Maybe the really big companies will be kind to me and will let my posts live longer.
Like this one here, who knows.
I also never really cultivate my own homepage, never kept it well-groomed, preserved and taken care of.
It doesn't look like I will change that approach in the near future, but who knows...
Chance and circumstance.

Consider this.
Grammar does not matter, style does not matter, topic and substance do not matter; the subject matter does not matter.
Whatever content it may be, it does not matter what it is, not at all, because any content is good content, just like the news.
Any news are good news because it is about the ripples on the surface, not about the depth of the waters.
Writing a stream of words may be good, may be bad, may be full of important subject matters, of just full of content.
It's all the same from the one, the here relevant perspective.
The internet.

What does make a difference is the number of responding people, unique people, not just bots, machines, hits or clicks.
Again, the type of response, the quality of response does not matter, as long as there is any kind of response.
Responses never have to go deep, as long as they continue to create ripples on the surface of the water.
The ocean of more or less individual expressions thrown into the internet is unimaginably vast.
Every single voice, each personal statement will vanish in the superabundance of statements, expressions, words and images.
One can still try to stick out, to be elevated, do be more recognised than others and thus be able to influence more of the others.
More viewers, more readers, more addressees, more recipients, more consumers, more more more.

At the same time, the internet is a system of commercial dependencies.
There are only companies who offer services, who offer commercial services, who offer services for their own benefits.
The internet is not a free system, it has barely ever been close to that, it was always closer to business.
Consumption, capitalisation, commercialisation, advertising, influencing, spreading, circulating, marketing, selling.
Always more, always wider, always faster, always the same.
Some few people gain huge benefits from this, some will do ok, but the majority will be the ones who eat and drink and swallow.
The internet is a tool for the few to keep the many busy, with bread and games, with what seems necessary and entertaining.

However, it's not just bad at its core, the internet, it's just extremely consuming - and as a noun that means - also means
- it is the act of consuming, as by use, decay, or destruction, the amount consumed, the high consumption of gasoline.
In economics - the using up of goods and services having an exchangeable value - like our time, energy, focus, life.
In pathology, an older of the word ... like tuberculosis of the lungs, progressive wasting of the body.
Consumption as progressive wasting of resources, the opening of time, burning through the years.
If it would all be about relevant information, it would be way too stressful, never ever enjoyable, relaxing, distracting.
