I finished the Witches book yesterday (thank you Nils). I've been reading two books about time, technology and the future: River of Shadows by Solnit (describing the development of the American railroad, westward expansion and the man who developed quick photography, leading to film) as well as After the Future by Biffo Berardi (theory book about the disintegration of the idea of the FUTURE, and the economic mythologies and realities that supported Futurism and then destroyed it). In relating to

Mica Quote of the day

Clarke, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." It is only becuase nature no longer seems so strong and immutable a force that changes no longer seem uncanny. In the beginning electricity seemed spiritual, a form of the life force...The changed brougth about by technology seemed supernatural at first, and photography was

Withches: Hunted, Appropriated, Queered ed. Anna Colin, The Rioter and the Witch by Olivier Marboeuf

Hello Other (X)Changers, I have a proposal for our process. I'm usually drawn to the obvious, or blatant. I am also fascinated by impersonation, doubling and repetition (not just as a compositional tool but also as a process). I propose that our exchange be direct, meaning each of us recreates a work by another in the group. This will provide us with a solid structure and process within to work (rehearsals, learning each others work), and coupled with group conversations

From Savage Beauty: pg 17 "As a human being, he was far more complex, elusive and indeed more magical than any reductive media incarnation." pg 18 "...Rather than waiting for someone to disappoint he provokes them into a hostile reaction which confirms his worst suspicions and justifies his own behavior." pg 19 "It had very little to do with the clothes and more to do with him as a person. And it's fundamentally true of anybody. Any interest in the
