Time Lag

"Sometimes a man rises from the supper table
and goes outside. And keeps on going
because somewhere to the east there’s a church.
His children bless his name as if he were dead.

Another man stays at home until he dies,
stays with plates and glasses.
So then it is his children who go out
into the world, seeking the church that he forgot."
.
A not too short experimental docu-voodle by bk featuring an incredible beauteous moment of time lag captured in peaceful summer Oslo, Norway - 2008.07.23 at 19:05 hours. View three zoomed in glances at a fine young Norwegian woman (and thus time) standing still but not. It's neither Garbo nor 'filmkunst' but a docu-voodle with a very pleasant soundtrack by zikweb.
.
The space Rainer Maria Rilke talks about is neither the space of the wanderer nor is it the space of hereditary but it is the potential of time lag - an interstitial space or state constantly between the lines, full of longings and regrets, but for those who know it it's the space that moves mass.

Dwell, Longings and Liquids

"As soon as you acknowledge the possibility of a certain type of being or a certain type of environment, you create that environment, because you tend to select and nourish those facets of that environment … With human beings, what patterns our world is our perception of it. I had a very clear instance of this. I’d always had a problem with New York because it’s such a menagerie of craziness. My answer to that has been a tendency to retreat into high places – most of my apartments were at the top of buildings …"
.
A not too short experimental docu-voodle by bk featuring a dwell about, and longing for, the cool refreshment he talks about in 'star diving and space travels'. Back in the city of Oslo and suddenly surrounded by 'tropical heat', bk recalls a quote by the famous video-painter Brian Eno and thus voodles about his desire for a certain environment... View the dwell on a slow-moving liquified pixelation of a cool but nevertheless completely dispensable habitual method of procedure - all accompanied by artemisstrong ambient soundscape 'tiger by the tail'.

On Star Diving and Space Travels

.
A short experimental docu-voodle by bk featuring a beautiful young lady at her preparations for a dive into the cold unknown sea of sparkling stars - documented in Risør, South Norway, 2008.07.10, at 10:26 am. This captured incident of beauteous duration may not provide humanity with a great deal of new knowledge, yet it is nevertheless delightful to view - over and over again - and btw; sometimes it takes a great deal of courage and personal strength to dive into 18 degrees Celsius of wet and gloomy Northern Sea (Skagerrak), trying to navigate around the lots of jelly fish with their burning threats...
.
For those of the viewers curious about star diving and space travels; listen carefully to the very pleasant ambient soundtrack by ccmixter's teru featuring a lecture by Professor Stephen Hawking honouring NASA's 50th anniversary - it might tell you 'what we will find when we go into space'.

A Lumierevideo by bk capturing the man in the moon while he's viewing a very similar happening as the one posted above.

Principles; fixed camera (what moves is the lens trying to focus), tripod, no audio, no zoom (although the view has been zoomed in to), no effects and going on for exactly 60'' (65'' with credits).

A short docu-voodle by moi featuring ... a transcript of architecture? a transcripted tree? View the dazzling documentation that questions the very idea of nature_culture_architecture shot at Sognsvann in Oslo, Norway - 2008.06.08.

On Headspace and the Tectonics of Views

"Sometimes all that is needed is a little bit of magic. It doesn't need much talent, developed skills nor a genius view... only presence and waiting ...serendipity.
On the other hand it is possible to witness this magic occurring over and over again - it exists and it can be found as a real trouvé - yet it is in no sense the result of chance and portion but rather the outcome of one of internet's most fruitful and skilled collaborations; the titans of voodling with sound."
.
A short experimental mirror-voodle by bk featuring an extension of earlier presented footage juxtaposed as it is. View the deep and sound space perturbed only by a placing - or by being placed - in nearness or contiguity. Even though Juxtaposition might be a very unsafe criterion of continuity... don't be afraid, gurdonark's sound meditation, alt. mediation, provides us with plenty of headspace, clear tectonic views and - although many voices - one mass. Looking for contiguity, perturbative spaces, moving mass and the sorts; what more can you ask for, b.k.?! Gurdonark's really sound collocation 'one mass, many voices' and many many of his other nice appositions and tuned tessellations can be found at ccmixetr.org.

A not too short experimental docu-voodle by moi on body and space morphologies - witnessed in Vigelandsparken, Oslo, Norway - 2008.05.25 at exactly 1500 hours (as every Sunday). View the fit, diplomatic, fluent, repand and almost ceraceous bodies - together with a forth and backwards rocking 'pella called 'ginga' - creating assorted parallel spaces in a mesmerizing, never ending monotonous act of friendly but nevertheless martial arts. Capoeira, a bland of play, dance and fighting, has it's origin in Brazil but seems to flourish quite well in northern climate too... Don't miss the final view accompanied by fuzette's 'la lai' (ccmixter.org).
