re:turning the call

appropriation - To take possession of another's imagery, often without permission, reusing it in a context which differs from its original context, most often in order to examine issues concerning originality or to reveal meaning not previously seen in the original. This is far more aggressive than allusion or quotation, it is not the same as plagiarism however.

re:turning the all

2008-08-08T15:43:00.008+02:00

Contemporary Art often takes the form of cultural commentary, criticism, parody. Art using appropriation is no exception. The subject of this artistic commentary ranges widely, but often involves the examination of the cultural products of others. Aspects of these are often reproduced as part of the work of art, but in such a way that the subject is transformed and offers the world something new. The new works that are produced comment on the world in which we live and reflect the nature of creativity itself.

In 1970 Irma ( a danish supermarked ) for the first time made an Irma-art-bag, the regulare plasticbag with a true piece of art printet on. The idea was to inspire reuse of the bag. Many established artists has since decorated an Irma-art-bag.

Under the name "Irma moving Arts", a competition to choose the next artist is launched.
A jury ( counting the big danish artist John Kørner and the fine danish gallerist Nicolai Wallner ) will select the winner, and in addition to this, the audience can also vote for for a winner.

So, everyone, please go to the website, and vote for one of zoe tati's three contributions. Write the name zoe tati, in the "søg" box to see all three images - number 3647, 3646, 3645 - new SUBSCENES with a twist of Irma. Pataphysic obstructions, objects of everyday, but maby not at all that ordinary ?
One vote - one click - PLEASE VOTE FOR ZOE TATI, thank you.

A team of about 10 "flame attendants" is responsible for the 24-hour, safe passage of the flame, which has been ignited by the sun's rays on the ancient site of Olympia in Greece. But there are several lanterns which are lit from the same source and they keep the flame alive at night or on aircraft when the torch is extinguished. The torch, the lanterns and the team of attendants, plus other security, fly in a specially-chartered Air China plane bearing an Olympic flame design. The lanterns spend each night in a single hotel room with three guards - one of which must be awake at any time.

It is not uncommon for the Olympic flame to be accidentally or deliberately extinguished during the course of the relay, and on at least one occasion the cauldron itself has gone out during the Games. To guard against this eventuality, multiple "versions" of the flame are transported with the relay or maintained in backup locations. When a torch goes out, it is re-lit (or another torch is lit) from one of the backup sources. The cauldron and the pedestal it sits on are always the subject of unique and often dramatic design.

with an overload of images in the world it is easy to become indifferent !
but, how does one remain loyal to abstract concepts which defy rationality...

kuleshov - take one

2008-03-29T21:11:00.005+01:00

the Kuleshov effect; famous experiments in montage carried out by the Russian filmmaker Lev Kuleshov. Kuleshov intercut shots of the expressionless face of an actor with various other shots such as soup, a coffin, and a pretty girl. He discovered that the film audience interpreted the actor's single expression as hungry, sad, happy, etc., according to the images with which it was associated. This became known as the "Kuleshov effect," an important contribution to montage theory.

procrastination vs. flow

2008-03-10T09:21:00.007+01:00

flow: overcoming duality of self and object. Again the web offers lots of advice how to get into flow - when writing, or by daydreaming.
Much of the metaphysics of quality has to do with a non-conceptualizing, zen-like direct viewing of the universe.

note by Mr. Pong

procrastination vs. manual

2008-03-06T11:55:00.009+01:00

the web offers so many manuals, operation manuals, user's manuals etc. from navigating a submarine to making coffey the Napolitana way. Plenty of procrastination in useful photography from sales catalogues, packaging, brochures and videos-like this !.

procrastination vs. enlightenment

2008-03-01T09:42:00.006+01:00

in order to bring a spiritual dimension into life, regular actions are crucial, because such actions become habits, and habits change the quality of one's life.

No. Seventy-five -- seventy-five.
