Hi Sergio, Ron, all,
Just back from staying on an island where I chanced to experience on a
very dark night a luminous world in an immense sea of coloured
phosphorescence, brilliantly coloured, electric blue, purple, glowing
green plowing the surface in waves across the dark seascape, the
horizon punctuated by hundreds of white flashes of light, the line of
foam of the breaking waves brilliant pale blue--the children were in
awe that they had glowing stardust at their feet and could hold
particles of it in their hands, flashing on impact with the ground.--or
as some of them said as they pounded across the beach ''like Michael
Jackson's latest film clip''... .....
this is so much like the cracks in mundane reality through
which i get the occasional glimpse --in this kind of phenomenal event
and in my self.
Sergio, I enjoyed Constance Classen's "Colour of Angels" and will look
out for her "Worlds of Sense"---I started being interested in feral
children through an exploration of illusions and the idea of creating
illusory data, anthropomorphism -- ambiguity in computer graphics and
in smell--and mysticism, other ways of knowing the world....and then
Millane, my 10 year old son told me his story about how he remembered
before he was born and how he was outside of himself, like a computer
game,' like Diablo --its a computer game that you can see yourself in'.
So many corresponding factors.
| | Discovering that connection between your story around feral children
and the one in Greek mythology leads me to thinking about themes and
variations and how the themes seem to be as old as our history and the
variations new with each successive generation. Sad that we're still
struggling with the same problems (feral children) after all these
years and happy that we're still struggling with the same problems
(feral children) after all these years. We may be a bit slow but at
least we don't give up easily.
|
I wonder Ron, if the themes and variations might be a prescribed human
path, inbuilt?
By the way my favourite book was Jonathon Ree's 'I See a Voice' and
reading Rumi's mystic poetry again, when it was mentioned on the list,
reminding me of beauty.
Looking forward to following up EDGE too!
cheerio

Ron, re the string theory and creating images that have a
correspondence to scientific imaging, although coming from a
completely different path. I spent the last couple of months creating
a story around feral children and then found an almost identical one
in Greek mythology....
best wishes

Lately PBS in the USA has broadcast some beautiful TV programs on
string theory featuring the thoughts of some heavy hitters like the
author of The Elegant Universe and others. Their mostly tentative
conclusions remind me of some of our discussions on the musical
nature of reality, physical and otherwise. Plus some of their
animated graphic illustrations look like they could have been lifted
from the music generated laser animations on my visual music DVDs.
About to end my surfing of the abyss as it looks like the next ledge
is North Dallas in the university town of Denton - sweet winter
sunny acre that includes a 1K sq ft in-house studio and a huge
backyard sloping down to a creek. Seems like the perfect setting
for work and reflection. Plus the Dallas/Fort Worth airport is only
40 minutes away so I think I'll be hitting the road again.
Regards,
Ron Pellegrino
