Since am going to be skateboarding on Palestine[‘s roads, it seemed like an idea to try engaging people via peeping for a cause kind of request. Initially, I thought it will be an idea to use it also as a way to inform about the project via some web address which will be descriptive. eg […]

Here’s a bit of text from the Guardian’s g monbiot ramblings today regarding think tanks, “media” and tobacco corps: When the BBC was told that tobacco companies have admitted funding the IEA, the reasoning changed again. Now it argues that it would be wrong to assume “that an organisation adopts a particular position on an […]
Imagination technologies do not mean anything, in my mind. Nothing innate, nothing in them that isn’t violent by its nature. However, nothing in them that Is naturally violent. eg a firearm tech is by its nature to produce a violent event. Might not be an act, but even burning stuff is violent.. However, writing tech, […]
Sole to Soul – A Mosaic of pixels (a place holder page) Sole to Soul – A Mosaic of pixels Sole to Soul will produce a mosaic made of shoe-soles to explore migrating human-souls through treating each shoe-sole as a pixel within an evolving image. Sole to Soul is using the interface of shoe-soles between […]
not so much..? I find it very painful in my throat calling treblinka, for example, a “death camp”. Quotation marks make it easier.. Is it being selfish? Arbitrary? Ignorant? Surely, the personal sensations, whichever these might be, are not more than the usage value of the common term? However, there is a sense that perhaps […]
Many people tell me the idea of going around palestine seeking artists to exchange with is a bit dangerous. Why? The reply is always to do with the complex makeup of Palestinian society and politics, never the occupation’s power, abuse of energies, and of intelligence. Yesterday a jordanian judge was shot dead by the occupations’ […]
of having to have powers? SEQUENCES OF POWER * I really do not want this power burden. But hey look, no one else it taking responsibility to use power and fix the problem. Now if I have to fix the problem, I’ll need to do stuff, reluctantly of course, and only for your benefit, but […]
focused power play/dance? Lets see how this can be s/pan out.. I caught myself feeling/sensing something rather childish/infantile. With a new struggle between the russian federation and “the west”/usa, i sensed a with for “the West” to “win”. Why? When did this come about and How??!! Are they not all as anti free & fearless […]
Here’s the initial idea, and a quick recap bellow: Through various crossings, such as the occupation’s borders, networks localities, technological physicalities, exchange sequences of time, networking and timing, surfing surfaces materialities (skateboarding), spoken, imagined and art archiving languages, cultural interpretations (eg anonymity as a cultural question), and other elements – the project will facilitate artistic […]
I am feeling a bit uneasy about the curated archives in community boxes because it feels finite, unquestioning.. Sort of default and defaulting to a known, rather than pushing/exploring – I suppose.. It seems that since the process skates/transgress borders as well as notions of art, artists roles and how they might link over space […]
art? Was checking arts linked Occupy Museums acts, and asked myself why am not exactly taking part of such actions/activities.. There seems, for me, to be a fair few elements that seem to prevent me from taking part, however here & now I’d like try focusing on power. To do occupation, perhaps only in my […]
databases? err.. for its personnel.. Am pasting here a g-translated article, hebrew -to-english, because I could not find a related data in english and i think the publisher, haaretz newspaper, ( haaretz = “the land”, a tern used on its own Only in ref to palestine, btw) seems to take off or restricts periodically access […]
A few unrelated nor linked people told me that the idea of skateboarding, seeking artists and linking exchanges of community boxes in Palestine, might be a dangerous practice indeed. They said I should not ignore the possible dangers and try at least to resolve them. However, am increasingly become aware, or seemingly aware(?) of a […]
Art marketing, perhaps the idea of it, gets on my tits – though it could also be that said tits are a tad too sensitive.. Just bumped into this art marketing info.. Am just struck, I suppose, by the non questioning tone of communication and marketing in art.. With the idea that art does language, […]
As I noted, mainly to myself some time ago, face masks do not actually help keep you breathing significantly healthier than err, without them. However, people use them. I’d like to assume that perhaps users are as informed as me regarding the health failures of face masks.. Hence am wondering whether using them is just […]
it seems like calculation, unlike deceleration, requires legitimisation – yet the very act of calculation suggests a legitimate being, in our minds. where as to declare this text not english-only but having some links to ancient japanese, beyond just mentioning it in this line, might seem brutal and indeed require a brute act such as: […]
In this aljazeera show re capitalism recent performance, there is a guy from lse that basically says something like: The “financial crisis” couldn’t have been forecasted because “the economy” is so complicated – its very hard to tell. There are so many elements involved in economic exchanges and behaviours, that its simply impossible for us […]
