Zen garden in an Altoid tin part 2

Not virtual this time, need to add the sound of a bubbling stream and aim to make it pseudo-holographic in the mode of Laurie Anderson's beguiling 'at the shrink' top, 1977, in which she used a Laurie Anderson lump of shaped clay, and , as we noticed on Sunday, a cut-out hole of herself over the projector screen so there wasn't an unwanted shape around it.
Said good-bye to my thesis today as it's now going to the Goldsmiths library. All over in a flash..

ithesis have done a great job

The ithesis people have done a great job on my thesis, with lovely colour pages exactly where I wanted them, http://www.ithesis.co.uk/ a cute CD pocket at the back and ten year guarantee on the binding,....really feels like it's over now, will hand it in on Monday.

Devoting next few weeks to the Cartesian Theatre. I'm going to write it up and perform it for the forthcoming Great Writing Conference in June, characters are matched to brain-states and situations linked to anxiety or calm etc. Ivan Dar gets to be the meta-protagonist. Went to see Wim Wenders' photographs at the Haunch of Venison but got distracted by Eve Sussman's msyterious Sci-fi film, whiteonwhite, 'six episodes of an algorithmic noir'. Ballardian is the word for it. Very engaging. http://www.canopycanopycanopy.com/10/whiteonwhite
Haunch of Venison is like a deserted Embassy, wondering down Burlington Arcade to get there is narcoma - it doesnt feel real on any level.

Media and the Senses today

hmmm...Funny I suppose - reading a paper abut anxiety, and feeling a bit panicy in the middle of it - hoist by my own petard, only just finished Siri Hustvedt's the Shaking Woman, as well, ha ha . but some positive comments and a chance of publication.... want to read Ian McGilchrist's book now - the Master and The Emissary. My pictures didn't look too wonky, spent the first part of the morning playing with Carol's fabulous and ingenious Bolt sculpture, I'd like one for my front room, possibly powered by the treadmill..

University of Haifa Curatorship Conference‏

Crashtastic Skype presentation yesterday at the University of Haifa Curatorship Conference‏, the signal worked for about 2 minutes before Lee threw in the towel with Skype and saved the day by reading my stuff out for me, as she is in actual real-world Haifa, unlike me in no-bandwidth-on-sea. What a shame, but she did a fabulous job by all accounts and we are invited to publish, hooray. Sicking up stuff with ISBN numbers on it is my goal this year (joke from Campus). We were presenting the VAINS project and particularly discussing embodiment in the online curatorial domain etc
