Do you know who is Nikolai Berdyaev ?

Filed under: General

I had some spare time today, this gave me a chance to read some philosophy and tracked me back on this very interesting philosopher that was born 100 years before me and died on the year my mother was born. A couple of my friends in Serbia are big funs of his thoughts, esecially those about freedom. Bredjaev is getting more and more “attention” in Europe . His philosophy was controversial for his time and this kept him away from popular and not censored colleges.There is a whole array of reasons to “check him out” , I will quote only a few here:

In reality, freedom is aristocratic, not democratic. With sorrow we must recognize the fact that freedom is dear only to those men who think creatively. It is not very necessary to those who do not value thinking. In the so-called democracies, based on the principle of popular sovereignty, a considerable proportion of the people are those who have not yet become conscious of themselves as free beings, bearing within themselves the dignity of freedom. Education to freedom is something still ahead of us, and this will not be achieved in a hurry. (SC, 110)

The worth of man is the personality within him. Human worth consists solely in personality. (SF, 27)

Man is a slave because freedom is difficult, whereas slavery is easy. (SF, 66)

Mobile phone has taken its big role in the world as a communicating device, but what will happen when mobile phone turns into the television ?

MX News, Friday October 21, 2005, page 7

“The mobile phone market is expected to expand from today’s 700 million handsets to two billion by next year, and up to three billion by 2010.”
…”Recent forecasts from Jupiter Research suggest that 65 million people will subscribe to streaming or broadcast TV services by 2010.”

the first filming session on 05/10/2005

Filed under: General

Location - The Hanging Rock
(An hour drive from the City)
Equipment: 3 X PD 170 camera + tripod
Crew:
Myself - director & (2) camera
Nicholas Hansen – camera

Weather was not perfect (as it was a day before); still light was intense but without strong contrast.
Still, Nature gave us what we were looking for.


Water, from the rock above, is dropping in a pond. Every drop hits and moves a leaf in the pond. All three cameras are focused on the same event. Same event seen from the 3 different angles makes 3 different events.


Rocks configuration involves - camera setup is dependant on its spatial architecture.

Creative Research

Filed under: General

warning ! these are notes from the lecture

What Creative research might be and how do you do it
Creative – academic practice and research relation (difference)
- Same principles and parameters
- Research methodology

What is research?
( Now I am thinking about my research and What is perception?
Data – theory
Information – knowledge relation is parallel

Creativity = synthesis Einstein: combinatory play

Creative process involves:
Preparation
Incubation
Illumination
Verification / revision
Creativity is breaking one’s gestalt into another one
“The map is not the territory” The father of general semantics, Alford Korzybski

What is mapping? (Check ridings from sial)
A change /difference in space ?

Five optical by Lars von Triers

Advice for creativity:
Make new words and their meaning.
Rebuilt your gestalt in order to build new one.

Now I can’t tell what the metaphor is.

FUCK’N 30

Filed under: General

A MOVIE THAT MOVES

PRODUCTION TRUST 2004
Melbourne 2005
Sound by Hard-Ons

Lesley and Mikey Young, Christopher Hennessy, Daniel Hennessy & Klara Klaric for Sally Mc Phee

Fuck’n 30 is a movie that impressed the public on Saturday evening.
This movie has come out from the editing suite at 13 Balston st. just after 10 pm, to be screened at Sally’s party a couple hours later.

Good timing. Mickey and Lesley Young have arrived in glamorous fashion. Their involvement in the movie production was of essential importance.
Now we were waiting for Daniel Hennessy to appear and give a green light for the screening.
As a well respected movie star he comes a bit later, but in a great mood. Followed by his female inspiration, another movie star Georgia, he got again a lot of attention from both male and female guests.

So Chris Andrews had his lap top ready, Sally didn’t know what was just about to be presented and I decided to give a little introduction to the movie just to generate a complete professional pose.

There it was, two minutes of exceptional entertainment; very funky but still stylish, fast and funny, smart and stimulating.

About the movie and the cause for its production - Sally Mc Phee
This young woman is the genuine inspiration for her friends. She has that sort of personality that in one word shines. (Shiny Mc Phee). If anyone she is the person you want to know and be her friend.
She is the one that unconditionally gives love, she knows the secrets of ones heart and she is always rejuvenating for people around her.

This movie is dedicated to Sally’s and is a gift for her 30-th birthday.

Flip, flip, flip with my female friends

Filed under: General

Flip, flip, flip with my female friends…

Everything good starts in the kitchen, of course it would if it is where women belong.
A gathering; close friends, some essential ingredients, a room filled with a somewhat dreamy ambiance and STRICTLY no boys can only equal Pancake night!

Accompaniments are a necessity; fruit is diced, custard simmering, eyes gleaming…As I take a drag of my cigarette and pour the batter into the hot fry pan, I look around and see my friends eagerly await my perfectly shaped delights.

Flip, flip, flip and finally finished. Table is set, we’re ready to go, ready to enjoy these culinary delights… One mouthful, one thought, “Suffer boys!”

62,400 repetitions

Filed under: General

She blew like a north wind, through the sparse and cold Loop.

Bringing the warm glow of humanity to the stage, bathing Koshovko in images of nature and childlike wonder, she impressed us.

Alongside friends drinking and laughing with one another, the bleak “Yeah…… Maybe you don’t want to pursue this as a career?” Egg Nazi horror film struggles for ratings.

Did she mistake repetition for insight? And what about Frame Rate…?

And what is the meaning behind the Serbian Chinese takeout talk?

*sigh*
