will i die tomorrow? perhaps later today?

I keep feeling that tomorrow I might die. tomorrow, the always kind of tomorrow, the one with morrow and a movement towards. a To from a now and into unknown. Unknown? Into tomorrow, an unknown might well be the most known of all – death? I might die tomorrow – so from that might I […]

basic income for all?

Today in Swiszerland – referendum about a universal basic income (ubi). UBI? yes, check http://www.basicincome2016.org I think its an inevitable way to keep being occupied by capitalism. huh? yes, it keeps monetary – numerical – means as the way to make exchanges. It allows keeping the reliance on numerical accounts of exchange as a form […]

Muhammad Ali – reactions i really don’t understand

Muhammad Ali, unfortunately in my view, sadly and I think tragically, died yesterday. There are many reactions to the event which I do not understand let alone comprehend. Here’s a list: “Muhammad Ali was the greatest“: Sure, he was a very interesting character. He was a boxing champ, a cultural icon and a social role […]

Naughtycon, noticon, n.icon, noci, n0c1, 0ycon, 0—>?

Am trying to rethink http://itchy.5p.lt/tag/naughtycon/ Perhaps with 0’ks and -s as sequences to linked images that can be negotiated..

how to make a line out of time?

Lets say i fancy making a stretch of seemingly continuous colour that evidently begins and end in 2 different places? Something like: _______________ What exactly has that process involved? There are many “exacts”, each of which might be very interesting and relevant. However, here am trying to focus on time. Could a line such as: […]

A view regarding dynamics in art?

This is in relation with the post regarding if xyz.xyz and th idea of dynamics that’s at the background. It seems to me that apart from the example of sounds composition in the post, it can be argued that alterations in practices we tend to link with art, seem to have something to do with […]

studies in meaning free – or abstracts?

Apparently, meanings come from context. ie the red of an apple can be different from the same red shade as blood. The difference is via meanings assigned to blood and apples which provide variations in meanings. Colours however, are made from absence (as in the object does not have a colour), a reflection (of the […]

wtf ifxyz.xyz?

attempting to comprehend if xyz.xyz ? A bit of background thoughts I think it will be worth while to consider the approach as Dynamic. huh? Am not linking up with some dynamism here. However pointing out that the approach has to do with dynamics rather than objects as static elements. I think bearing this point […]

china and boycotts?

Sometimes it is tempting to boycott china’s products. The chinese state is authoritarian, capitalist, exploitative, and enslaving. The chinese regime is, in my opinion, an expression of how fascism is alive today. (together with the russian state..) Am using the term fascism in the sense that these regimes unify senses of nationalism, authoritarianism, and capitalist […]

dave cam as a cultural critic in-spite of his best efforts?

OK.. I don’t like the personal oriented heading for this post. (alternative suggestions are welcome!) According to http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/dec/24/prime-ministers-christmas-message-applauds-armed-forces the guardian’s heading, a focus on prime-ministerial xmass message is the outrage of reminding us that in a defunct UK democracy, when inclusiveness is being forgotten in the burning altar of periodically convenient majoritarian approach, david’s focus […]

mines of occupation?

A last coal mine was shut in Britain today. Why people got upset? Why people try to keep working in mines, developing a culture of such activities, and are sad when its gone? Mines killed and are killing people. They kill people via work conditions, and pay that can never compensate for the loss of […]

Goals as metrification of desires?

Occupied by capitalism? I think I am. For a while, I have been occupied by the idea of money’s exchange-ability. The numericality of currency, in various forms, which seems to make everything conform to its values, processes, practices, mechanisms, politics and culture. ie, from the question of people’s choice of university courses based on hoped […]

philosophy and mathematics in a historical sporting arena?

A note re http://www.newstatesman.com/culture/books/2015/12/true-scientific-revolution-triumph-mathematicians-over-philosophers – The book is too expensive, and the review mentions philosophers in general – ones that are out to reconfirm aristotle. If reconfirming aristotle – then perhaps the very philosophy talked about as losing in some historical game – is not entirely the kind we recognise contemporarily? Perhaps my personal interest […]

zizek and violence of bone breaking?

Last night on the move, I noticed an article by zizek regarding war, turkey, isis and europe. While I agree the eu deal to pay turkey is both a sad true and shamefull beyond words, was surprised to hear the authoritarian and despicable islamist regime of turkey was supposedly calling for an isis embassy in […]
