Nicolai/Peljhan, «polar», 2000
«We envisioned the 7mx7mx4m space as a complex tactile matrix interface, that enables the visitor to experience the flow of data in the global and local networks in a completely immersive, yet cognitive way. The work was inspired by the notion of the cognitive OCEAN as described in Stanislaw Lem's and Andrey Tarkovsky's SOLARIS. The intial conceptual equation was:
OCEAN = MATRIX.
The main outline of the work was based on the creation of two software and hardware «engines», the so called POLAR ENGINE (with adjacent POLS, POLAR DICTIONARY and KNOWLEDGE BASE) and the CHANGE ENGINE (with adjacent TRACEROUTE VISUALISER, which consisted of two separate displays). The first was envisioned as the INPUT-ANALYSIS and CONSTRUCTION zone, the second as the OUTPUT-SYNTHESIS-EXPERIENCE zone. [...]
Basically, we wanted to create an interface between the human body and senses and the matrix, which would, by the shere presence let alone the activities of this humans, already transform also the structure of the matrix that is being observed/experienced and of the physical space that is being inhabited during this process.»

A quoi pense-tu, Séverine?

segunda feira estava meia cidade na sala 4 do Monumental, a ver Match Point de Woody Allen. não tenho grande paixão por escrever dissertações sobre filmes (prefiro vê-los e pensá-los), mas leio-as pelas palavras da NOITE AMERICANA, que, curiosamente estava sentada na fila atrás de mim.
«Untitled Film Still #?» de Cindy Sherman

o motor do gira-discos deturpa as rotações das minhas canções preferidas do Júlio Iglesias em loop, e a minha avó continua deleitada a ler o jornal jornal de ontem e nem dá por nada.. muito relaxante, diz ela :)

hoje o dia é uma música de John Cage, «In a Landscape».
pelo fim da madrugada, alguém fugidio chama-me branca de neve em tom perene. no coração tenho um floco de espuma branca de aroma indefínivel, e espetados alfinetes asiáticos, como no livro do rapaz ostra do Tim Burton. Caminho para casa nas ruas já vazias e ainda com In a Landscape em loop, morro lentamente, não na floresta, mas a atravessar a passadeira, sob uma fria e distante meia lua de 5graus centígrados com um néon verde periclitante no fim da rua.
irónica maldição esta, de quem mal nos conhece e nos lê o pensamento no fim de um copo de vinho tinto.
vou acabar de comer a minha maçã bravo esmolfe, e adormecer mergulhada na manta vermelha.


não, não espero mais por ti.

esta quinta à noite na cinemateca..


..and just like that, she decided not to be lying down waiting for him.
as nonsense as it may seem, he's the one who drives himself mad as the dreadful hours of waiting pass by too slowly..
