Long you both laid in the sun's yellow stare...

On the edge with eyes rolled back, the waves were calling him.

As he teetered on the edge, the waves were calling him.

He had seen it, felt its might, bent under...

(Washing away, he thinks of you. Everything slows, light's flashing through.

The water flies over his head. You are me now as you lay on my bed.)

This is what he'd always known:

The promise of something greater beyond the water's final horizon. ISIS

.

"No views can be the same - even though they decide on the exact time, purview and frame - they all will be different ...and together they create new views, new purviews and even trouble us on the reading of time...

Duration is freed in two simoultaneously shot views - that is the rule of the dooble-voodle ...and it's potential has yet to be discovered - the beginning and the end is just the start!"

.

A not too short experimental docu-voodle featuring two simultaneously shot videos; the worlds first screening of a dooble-voodle is showing in two frames two views taken out of a window of a hiper-speed train traveling through Tokyo - 2008.03.08.

Be aware that the dooble-voodle starts with just one single frame and no sound... 'The Beginning and The End' starts after approximately three minutes runtime and ends at the end right before the voodle ends... Tokyo on the other hand never ends and ends and ends...

.

Moi & b.k. are thrilled and extremely proud to introduce ISIS with their song 'The Beginning and The END' (from the 2002 album 'Oceanic') on LOMEG_ROM : voodles on CONTIGUITY. Thanks to the band for the permission to adapt their unbelievable persistent and insistant music for this world-premier of a dooble-voodle-video-work! Visit ISIS on their official site! and turn up the volume...

.

A Lumierevideo by bk one more time shot just outside a window in Oslo, Norway - 2008.06.21. This one is really trying to focus on the purview present... and thereby (surprisingly) is painting or creating it's very own and apparent horizon. Principles; fixed camera, secured in a flowerpot, no audio, no zoom, no effects and going on for exactly 60'' (65'' with credits).

"the worst that can happen is nothing ever happening

but usually, under normal conditions, this rarely happens

yet, if it would happen - would it really be such a happening?"

.

A short experimental lumiere-voodle by bk featuring it almost all together! bk uses some lumiere-footage of a distinct purview taken in Oslo, Norway - 2008.06.21, and voodles around apparent horizon, perturbative spaces, moving mass, the horizontal rule, figures on the ground/horizon/background/uncertain ground... you name it... and simply paints a video painting of and on contiguity... yet, at the end, he views his work and regrets all that happens. See almost nothing or far too much accompanied again by ccmixter's artemisstrong.

A Lumierevideo by bk again shot just outside a window in Switzerland - 2008.06.17. Like in "Arrangement I" the view is also here completely arranged... and they're still arranging it actually... 'cause the mass has to be moved... over and over again. Principles; fixed camera, mounted on a balcony, no audio, no zoom, no effects and goin' on for exactly 60'' (65'' with credits).

On No More Gloomy Nights

"Sometimes we do not hear what we see... other times we do not see what we hear... and there are times where we neither can hear nor see at all... Yet, as it is fortunately given to the many of us; most of the time we actually see and hear - but what we see and hear are pure purviews; representing (only) the range of interest or activity that can be anticipated; purviews being that what makes us see and hear...

Sam says that 'a voodle must be both abstract and figurative. Abstract as a wall, figurative as a representation of space.', and bk says that this is oh so true since the voodle either is about the inconspicuous or a simple case of serendipity.

While the inconspicuous also has to bee seen first, it might as well be a representation of purview. Yet the focus on the inconspicuous can also be regarded as the abstraction of the figurative since it by definition is fighting purview. Serendipity on the other hand is no method since it occurs only in the realm of the waiting (a particular way to see and view) and thus can not necessarily influence the chain of action (possible purviews) that might or might not occur.

The voodle, or voodling, must be the greatest tool for any visual and creative craftswoman to experiment with and sophisticate her way of hearing, seeing and viewing... she learning to open up herself... giving new views back to the many of us... new views for new purviews...!

That's the paradox of the voodle; the inconspicuous, serendipity and purviews all happily mingled and producing each other... producing views and insights, documenting the unseen and creating new ideas or just cases of contiguity. The paradox of the inconspicuous, serendipity and purview coexisting... the voodle.

So far that's what bk thinks about the voodle and the voodling while he walks home one early morning... tired and with blisters on his feet... viewing only what is there to be seen... of course... hearing only what is there to be heard... of course... and forgetting it all soon after... of course..."

.

A not too short experimental docu-road-voodle by bk featuring an unedited long take shot in Oslo, Norway - 2008.06.09 at 02:19 am. Two days ago did moi introduce ccmixter's artemisstrong to bk and thats how voodles happen; the oh-ah song made almost forgotten footage come alive again. See the norwegian midsummernight, some vertical lines, a not so gloomy horizon and a church wrapped ...all enthusiastically framed by ...oh-ah's.

"What is the sound of one hand clapping?"

"Wind, flag, mind moves.

The same understanding.

When the mouth opens

All are wrong."

A short experimental docu-voodle by moi capturing particular moments of reiterative but not redundant duration happening on the way in and out of one of Japans most known places of possible providers for direct intuitiv insights. Savings and rituals are well preserved in the land of the rising sun, yet, contrary to western civilisation, kept alive, build on and by no means conserved. See about four minutes of a total of 2 hours of footage (on the same issue) taken by moi and bk at the Ryoan-ji temple in Kyoto, Japan - 2008.03.11, and enjoy the zen-like sound-coulisse 'catch and release' (excerpt) by ccmixter artemisstrong.

An unexpected incident brought an unexpected trip and a strong confrontation with the very ground and soil of origin. A not too short docu-voodle by bk capturing nothing new but representing a rough-edit of pre-voodle-footage (Oslo, 2006.07.03.) featuring the beautiful Marta Ferreira Alemao Mella doing her essay on man - a free interpretation of some of Egon Schiele's portraits.

On Apparent Horizon and Purviews

click to play in Quicktime / or direct streaming at blip.tv

.

"His true heart is pounding for the heavy mass soundly moving under his feet and clearing his gaze, inviting him to mould, dig and shape between what is and what can be and what will again belong to the mass. He can understand the play and flirt with the horizon. He finds it dazzling and it amazes him. Yet, although slightly bewildered, he has to sympathise with his view who's kept on the line but longs for nothing then the mass again. This is his limitation, this is his source."

.

A short experimental docu-voodle by bk capturing lost thoughts on an apparently apparent horizon. While trying to follow the horizontal rule and searching for the apparent in a great flat ambit bk gets his spectre of both physical and mental representations of beauteous haunting purviews. See the dazzling struggle with and against the sensible horizon - all caught nearby Copenhagen, Denmark - 2008.06.03, and overlaied by duckett's likewise haunting 'lost thoughts' (ccmixter.org).

A short voodle-voodle by bk trying to capture the nordic light present (or not...) at the constitution of an inter-nordic and truly candescent, buoyant, ignite and airy body of light in Copenhagen, Denmark - 2008.06.02. Moi, btw, thinks that b.k.'s voodles are getting increasingly voodle-alike; full of imperefection and naive decision-makings... beautiful, she says.

Decisions (NPM re-vision 11/12)

.

The act of making up your mind about something – the burden of decision was his - he drew his conclusions quickly … The trait of resoluteness as evidenced by firmness of character or purpose - a man of unusual decisiveness … A position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration - a decision unfavourable to the opposition - his conclusion took the evidence into account - satisfied with the panel's determination … The outcome of a game or contest - the team dropped three decisions in a row … (Boxing) a victory won on points when no knockout has occurred - had little trouble in taking a unanimous decision over his opponent".
...conclusion, conclusion, decisiveness, determination, determination, appointment, assignment, call, casting lots, choice, designation, drawing lots, final result, firmness, judgement, judgment, mind, move, naming, option, outcome, pick, predetermination, resoluteness, resolution, resolution, resolve, result, resultant, selection, sortition, split decision, termination.
Cutting off - division - detachment of a part … The act of deciding - act of settling or terminating, as a controversy, by giving judgment on the matter at issue - determination, as of a question or doubt - settlement - conclusion – ‘The decision of some dispute.’ -- Atterbury. An account or report of a conclusion, especially of a legal adjudication or judicial determination of a question or cause; as, a decision of arbitrators; a decision of the Supreme Court. The quality of being decided; prompt and fixed determination; unwavering firmness; as, to manifest great decision.

Decision}, {Determination}, {Resolution}. Usage: Each of these words has two meanings, one implying the act of deciding, determining, or resolving; and the other a habit of mind as to doing. It is in the last sense that the words are here compared. Decision is a cutting short. It implies that several courses of action have been presented to the mind, and that the choice is now finally made. It supposes, therefore, a union of promptitude and energy. Determination is the natural consequence of decision. It is the settling of a thing with a fixed purpose to adhere. Resolution is the necessary result in a mind which is characterized by firmness. It is a spirit which scatters (resolves) all doubt, and is ready to face danger or suffering in carrying out one's determinations. Martin Luther was equally distinguished for his prompt decision, his steadfast determination, and his inflexible resolution.

Another short experimental associative-voodle by moi and bk. This one featuring several positions, opinions and judgments reached after very thorough considerations while standing on a terrasse in Oslo, Norway - 2008.02.17. Work commissioned by Nils Petter Molvær. Soundscape 'decisions' from the album 're-vison' (NIls Petter Molvær 2008).
