On momentary ethnological digress

click for video: Quicktime / .m4v for iPod-iPhone / direct streaming for Pc

"Ethnology is characterised by a focus on processes, but also by a holistic perspective in which sociality, subjectivity and materiality are inseparable dimensions. Ethnology views its own history and theory reflectively as an integrated part of the realities it seeks to grasp. At the core of the ethnological endeavour is the investigation of the diverse and shifting ways in which practises of cultural history interact with other forms of practice as well as the ways in which the fields of study, the terms and categories of ethnology itself are formed and transformed. An ethnological culture analysis is therefore inextricably bound up with self-reflection as to its own scholarly practice."

Continuously accumulating more daily footage than editable, Sam Renseiw rescued two panoramic takes from an afternoon ethnological academic visit.

"Modernity for Baudelaire is not simply a form of relationship to the present; it is also a mode of relationship that has to be established with oneself. The deliberate attitude of modernity is tied to an indispensable asceticism. To be modern is not to accept oneself as one is in the flux of the passing moments; it is to take oneself as object of a complex and difficult elaboration: what Baudelaire, in the vocabulary of his day, calls dandyism..."

Pondering -obliquely- once again, on the subject of enlightenment and post-post-post modernity, Sam Renseiw recently scrutinised the delicate, etheric and yet sharp photographic work(s) of Dorothee Smith.

"As we all know there’s scarcely a literate culture on earth that doesn’t have some translations of Japanese haiku in its poetry anthologies. From this, an international non-Japanese haiku movement has begun, which takes the idea of haiku hundreds of new directions. School teachers in Denmark, Italy, or California have no hesitation giving translations of Japanese haiku to their students, and then also reading locally-written brief poems to them, telling the children to look around, see what they see, have a thought, make an image, and write their own brief poem."

In under two minutes, the path is infinite, yet already clearly defined, as if bridged, ponders Sam Renseiw, shortly afterwards to be obliquely introduced to Snyder, just to have a recap on return.

On talent management and docu-voodling

click for video: Quicktime / .m4v for iPod/iPhone / direct streaming for PC

" A talent was the mass of a cubic foot of water. The exact value of the talent thus depended on what foot was in use in a specific part of the world at a certain period in history. The Roman talent was defined as 80 Roman pounds ("librae", plural of "libra"). The value of the libra, from the days of Charlemagne, makes the Roman talent equal to about 26.107 kg. Incidentally, this would imply a value of about 0.2969 m for the Roman foot; For some obscure reason, a foot whose length is derived backwards from a given value of the talent is called a geometric foot. Outside of Rome, the talent was normally divided into 60 minas; a mina (or maneh) was thus roughly equal to a modern avoirdupois pound... on the other hand, a talent show can also be a live performance spectacle (sometimes on television) where contestants perform acting, singing, dancing, acrobatics, and other art forms. Talent shows have been around since the beginning of time. Some very early known works include Shakespeare plays held in courtyards for the community to enjoy."

Sometimes, one single afternoon might encompass a large variety of didactic, performative happenings, opening quite charming and oblique re-views into aspects of talent. Sam Renseiw recently checked into Talenthotel, a well prepared mini-conference with a delightful display of dance flow and Beatnix.

"If Bergson believed anything," Hartshorne writes, "it was the asymmetry of time, the openness of the future and determinateness of the past." But Bergson, Hartshorne argues, too readily forgot that the denial of determinism, so central to his project, rests on the denial of the symmetry of time. Determinism, Hartshorne urges, following Peirce and Bergson himself, takes an essentially symmetrical view of time. That is why, on Laplace's model, one can as readily retrodict the past as predict the future, given an adequate knowledge of the present state of the world and its unchanging laws. The core of Bergson's message was that the determinism that negates human freedom and closes the open fu­ture arises in a false analogy between time and space: Space is an affair of mutual exclusion of elements, "whereas time is an affair of mutual inclusion." By preserving a certain symmetry in both space and time, Hartshorne argues, Bergson compromises the ultimate asymmetry of time and falls into "The most glaring confusion in Time and Free Will."

Voodling in an utterly condensed environment, Sam Renseiw lost track of linear space and time coordinates. View the unfolding of complex views, featuring a temple, a pond, a tea house, several meandering gardens, a veranda, a bridge, a side shrine, a walled dry -garden, a large covered porch , a daruma monk painting and a closing sign, all condensed in a simple travelling shot.

"The Master of Music, Gensho, who directed the music for festivals and ceremonies at Iwashimizu Shrine south of Kyoto, went to visit the shrine's holdings at Yoshikawa in Bitchu Province. On his return to the capital he stopped at Muro. While there he seemed about to die from a derangement of the spirit. Half the hair on his head turned as white as snow. Thinking this was something supernatural, he sought the help of a shaman. Speaking through this woman, the god of the Kibitsu Shrine said, "Although you frequently pass through this area, you never play your music for me. Therefore you are suffering in this way." Gensho quickly paid a visit to that shrine, and as he played the tunes secret to all but the emperor, his white hair returned to its normal color. One must say that he was a wonderful credit to his calling."

" The power of montage resides in that it includes in the creative process the emotions and mind of the spectator. The spectator is compelled to proceed along that same creative road that the author travelled in creating the image. The spectator not only sees the represented finished work, but also the experiences the dynamic process of the emergence and assembly of the image just as it was experienced by the author."

On Inari's collective forms and Kitsunes

click for video: Quicktime / .m4v for iPod/iPhone / direct streaming at Blip.tv for PC

" A kitsune may take on human form, an ability learned when it reaches a certain age — usually 100 years, although some tales say 50. As a common prerequisite for the transformation, the fox must place reeds, a broad leaf, or a skull over its head. Common forms assumed by kitsune include beautiful women, young girls, or elderly men. These shapes are not limited by the fox's age or gender, and a kitsune can duplicate the appearance of a specific person. Foxes are particularly renowned for impersonating beautiful women. Common belief in medieval Japan was that any woman encountered alone, especially at dusk or night, could be a fox."

"There is no desire more natural than that of knowledge. We try all ways that can lead us to it; where reason is wanting, we therein employ experience, which is a means much more weak and cheap; but truth is so great a thing that we ought not to disdain any mediation that will guide us to it. Reason has so many forms that we know not to which to take; experience has no fewer; the consequence we would draw from the comparison of events is unsure, by reason they are always unlike. There is no quality so universal in this image of things as diversity and variety."

"And there are some who scorn this poetry of departures/And say “Escape by staying where you are;/A man is what he thinks he is and can/Find happiness within.” How nice to be born a man./The tourist in space and time, emotion or sensation,/Meets many guides but none have the proper orientation./We are not changing ground to escape from facts/But rather to find them. This complex world exacts/Hard work of simplifying; to get its focus/You have to stand outside the crowd and causus."

On improvising qualities of conversations

click for video: Quicktime / .m4v for iPod / direct streaming for PC

"How does improvisation (musical, physical, conversational) underpin the development of artistry in musicians as performers and teachers? Artistry here is taken to mean what makes performance come alive- what enables performers to leave behind rehearsed skills and enter the realm of the unintended. Artistry undoubtedly demands technical facility, communicative skill and musical understanding; it however also requires improvisation that leads to unforeseen outcomes."

On the poetics of immersion

click for video: Quicktime / .m4v for iPod / direct streaming for Pc at Blip.tv

" Certain forms born of water have more attraction, more compelling force, more consistency. That is because more material and profound reveries intervene, because our inner being is more deeply engaged, and because our imagination dreams more specifically of creative acts. Then the poetic power, which was imperceptible in a poetry of reflections, appears suddenly. Water becomes matter. And it is then that materialising reverie, uniting dreams of water with less mobile, more sensual reveries, finally builds on water and develops a more profound and intense feeling for it."

Recently immersed in Sensuous Knowledge, Sam Renseiw pondered on the nature of voodling, naration and reverie: A narrative tells a story over time, a voodle, on the contrary, just reflects on a moment in time, leaving the train of imagery open and fragmented.

On sculpture and installation variance(s)

Click for video: Quicktime / .m4v for iPod / direct streaming for PC at Blip.tv

" There's an experiential distinction between walking round a sculpture and entering a built structure that encompasses you. You know logically that when you look at things they're fake, because you know the space is not what it's purporting to be. Yet to all intents and purposes your eye tells you that it's real, so you enter a pact with this space, as to whether to believe it or not. It's like when you read the first few pages of a book. You know it's not real, it's a fiction, but you agree somewhere along the line to go along with it and enter this fictive realm. You can almost start to read things subconsciously; you become interested in the spaces, doors and the objects within that space, as opposed to thinking constantly: 'I'm in a piece of art.' Your mind is allowed to wander a little more. "

" Andy was a hunter-gatherer. Edie was one of the things that he collected. He toyed with her, played with her, just like a child plays with a watch, destroys it and throws it aside. Everything became Andy's material. All the casualties that came around him... none of those people were really important to him. They each were searching for self importance, but never realised they were only raw material, that's what destroyed them."

"As soon as a person appears who has something primitive about him, so that he does not say " one must accept the world as it is [...] but says " However the world is, I shall retain an originality which I do not mean to alter in accordance with the world's wishes" : At the moment these words are heard, the whole of existence is transformed.

On transpositions and voodle lexemes

Click for video: Quicktime / .m4v for iPod / Direct streaming for Pc at Blip.tv

"The Transposition Hypothesis splits all derivation, lexical and inflectional alike, into three processes: lexical (L-) derivation, inflectional (I-) derivation, and morphological Voodle. Derivation involves operations on abstract lexical and inflectional category functions such as [+Plural, -Singular], [+Past, -Present], [+1st], and the like. Voodling is the purely visual realisation of the morphological categories of any Voodle base lexeme which has undergone such derivation. Its function is to distinguish Voodle stems which have undergone derivation from those which have not."

On the phenomenology of memory voodles

click for video: Quicktime / .m4v for iPod / streaming version for PC at Blip.tv

"The voodles magnified the idea that I formed of certain points on the earth’s surface, making them more special, and in consequence more real. I did not then represent to myself towns, landscapes, historic buildings, as pictures more or less attractive, cut out here and there of a substance that was common to them all, but looked on each of them as on an unknown thing, different from all the rest, a thing for which my soul was athirst, by the knowledge of which it would benefit. How much more individual still was the character that they assumed from being designated by names, names that were only for themselves, proper names such as people have."
