Failed Dwarf Paint


"There is a danger that the art, like other aspects of control technology, will only serve to dull our senses and dampen our indignation"






Fabricate life as imitating art. An embodiment of eros and loss.

Life as control technology:

film walking styles
slang
laughing
violence patterns

create transfers of each pattern and style and cut out to imitate dress form.







BBC's " Warching Art Imitate Life":

StethoPoem: a bretonian accessory (for Kuya on his way to medskool)



Stethoscope that plays poetry.

called:1(800)988-1088 to see if the probe or digital control system could be replaced by a digital audio device that would play poetry or a recording of Hair's heartbeat or both her poem & heartbeat at the same time.

without getting into too much detail

if anyone could display their heartrate on a t.v., it'd be interesting to see it superimposed over an ongoing weather channel or tvshow.

I don't want to but,
I'm beginning to see my cat
as a kind of textile, changing
what it means to be a cat and
the way she's been perceived as
'a cat'. She begins and ends
somewhere, though not sure where,
walking throughout the room,
a clause between exterior-fur
and how far one could go
looking into her eyes; green,
another field I am afraid there is
nothing inside her, but a personality
I'm not even sure is relevant
to an interior sentence.

Thread of Forgetting



Edited in a way to
assist the viewer to forget
entirely through speed acceleration,
movement & lack of footage.

Materials:
spool of metallic thread
video-camera

Process:
Left-hand screen:
single long shot of
metallic thread unravelling
until it ends.
Right-hand screen:
images from someone's life
flashing until the thread ends.

Sound options/al: debussy,poem recitation, rain.

Continuity of Metallic Thread--->Memory--->Interrupted frames= narrative of forgetfulness

check out: "Moments in Time: One Narration & Slowness", by Susanne Gaensheimer Leubachhaus/Munchen.

"snapshots from the passing reality & string them on a becoming.." h.bergson.

The speed of representing speed; thread as a line of forgetting while in attempt to preserve and embroider itself.

soon, this will be forgotten.
