in a beautifull place inside the country

it's in bucharest.
one of the places that you don't see from the street but still surprisingly beautifull and quiet.
it's on a hill, it has water, central.took some pics but they don't match.the video is so much better just for the sound.
reminds me of iasi and patterns

geniuses are dead

wired published something about creativity and geniality.about young and old geniuses.about creativity that might boost when you're young or later.a new theory suggests that creativity comes in two distinct types - quick and dramatic, or careful and quiet.
hmmm..I don't think geniuses exist anymore.There's nothing new.If you assume creativity as the capacity of bringing something absolutely new then there's no more creativity. But if you assume that creativity is also the capability of changing meanings by re-contextualising then we're saved.
nevertheless the old genius theory is not supposed to be "justification for laziness or procrastination or indifference. "

And then found this article about evolving creativity which makes more sense, because it also underlines the relevance of context and interdisciplinary practices.

"Are you a Planner who thinks about design? Maybe you are a designer who obsesses about the business impact of your designs. Or you might be an Information Architect who thinks about motion, transitions, multimedia, and uses tools like storyboarding and visual scenarios. Or how about a Developer who comes up with the ''big idea''?
If you haven't noticed, creativity is evolving."

patterns

found this article about loosing perspective, about the need to ride a motorcycle as a spiritual need, about no room for thinking about anything else, about not pulling over.
made me think about patterns, about seen this before.

makes me sick and i feel the need of attaching a track to it.

reminder

and here a track

2.wordcount

WordCount is an artistic experiment in the way we use language. It presents the 86,800 most frequently used English words, ranked in order of commonness. Each word is scaled to reflect its frequency relative to the words that precede and follow it, giving a visual barometer of relevance. The larger the word, the more we use it. The smaller the word, the more uncommon it is.

latest linklater

is called A Scanner's Darkly.

This comes from the maker of beautifull "waking life".
The reasons i really admire linklater are so many; amongst them is his coherence without being boring as a director, his relation with the actors that write lines dialogues of their own and such a beautifull example is before sunset-sunrise (for the reality human normal feeling that the films have)

This one is an adaptation of P.K.Dick' novel's ( the writer for total recall, blade runner and minority report ) and author of UBIK.


"PK Dick wrote this novel as a way of telling the story of how he and his friends in the early '70s damaged and destroyed themselves with drugs. He tells this story within the framework of a surreal science fiction thriller, but many of the scenes are straight from his own experiences with the unpleasant consequences of people using drugs and disintegrating mentally."

and here are the first 24 minutes of it.

""Cyberspace is a pale imitation of real life because it's such a limited interface. Text, voice, maybe cartoony graphics are no match for face to face. But that interface is going to get better every decade. A fully virtual lifestyle as rewarding as real contact is only a matter of time.David Bofinger, Sydney, Australia (but the whole point is it doesn't matter)
