Respond to charlie’s “travelling without moving”, yes we really almost can do everything in front of the computer screen now. In Johny Depp’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, people able to teleport things through tv, dissolved – transport – resembled. Do you think it will happened? When the time coming, people will not only embark the “journey” on a virtual level anymoreand then only that time government should really be worry isn’t it?

And then about the “second life”, there’s another movie talking about it which I watched it very long time ago(maybe when I was in primary time?), people in the future can sort of inject their soul into internet and wherever the internet can reach, they can access to. All people digitalise their soul and life into the digital world to persuit everlasting life? But in “Matrix”, the government is the main power to control everything and then the whole world living in the ‘not-really-exist’ world. There got no everlasting long life, but human spend whole life time in dream... 'digital restrict' and 'internet control the masse' mentioned by charlie, are those actually the foreseen that we all heading to it?

to lee, yes i think it would be a great idea if we all can watch together. (=

and so sorry that i was sick these few days so that now only got to read the blog.

This video i thought shows what i am getting at; This is how we exist in the world as individuals, suspended in fictionalisations or territories. what is interesting (i think) is what happens when we begin to remove (de-territorialise) each feather one at a time? where does this leave us with eugenics? after all it is strictly speaking re-territorialisation could we begin to mutate?

VIDEO

The first video could be taken loads of ways and isn’t intended as a profound statement; rather it is based around a particular thought and as something i could come back to and develop and direct my understanding of where i am going with this....

The idea behind this was the concept of ‘Transcendence’ hence the title and has two sides of it for me... the first is about transcending normal reality. In the case of this video juxtaposing sounds and images to create something new i.e. by placing something virtual into an objective reality. The sound on the video wasn’t recorded on the same day or at the same time as the video so at time of recording the video it didn’t exist; in this sense the sound is virtual.

The next idea was about temporal experience and how from a western perspective things develop over time in anticipation of a destination. Once you get there you wonder what it was that made you begin the journey in the first place. It is the same as most prominent religions in this country today; slightly nihilistic. Rejecting the present in favour of some promised destination (or salvation) at the end of a journey.
