Objects of Transience: the Broom and feet

 






I was looking at my collection of work that exists in my sketchbook. Many of these works have never been produced; they only have existed in the book as sketches and writing. 


One such object is a foot/shoe sweeper. This item protects you from marriage/commitment. It's a riff of of the common Cuban myth: Sweeping one's own feet can lead to a life of solitude.

 I believe it reinforces a sticky notion that you are not good a chores like sweeping the house and therefore you will be an unfit partner. Maybe it is something else having to do with bad luck. It is met with almost the same energy as seeing someone walk under a ladder.

The tension that gets built up as you witness someone acquiring bad luck is like seeing someone about to get knocked over by a football player or a huge snowball. Oddly enough, if someone sweeps your feet, there is equal panic. This effect can be a mutation of the original myth but regardless it carries the same weight.

The motion of this object should not follow a direct axis, but can use a gearing that can cause it to turn and move along an angle or a perpendicular axis. Ultimately, it should resemble a human movement.

Skydancers promise of surplus income

~The song says it all~
How can Skydancers promise of increase revenue and foot traffic be utilized to promote the well being of the Blue Hole? Can Skydancers be resurrected to remind us of unfulfillment, of the objet a. Is the Skydancer a totem, like vaporwave, regurgitating capital promises of the early 90s.

Electrate re-animation of defunct tools


I really should create a list of 21st century Electrate tools that re-animate existing technologies.

Ok, here is begins then. I will keep updating this list. Feel free to add via comments and I will include them to the list:

EXPERIMENT

The experiment displays the efficacious propensity of my investigations; a punctum displayed in meditative nature, the montage of the drive, the death drive, tracked and surveilled, chopped and slowed to find clues, to analyze.

After completing the Mystory, reading the books while taking notes and page number annotations, and noting any instances of epiphany/sting/punctum, I developed this work in order to study the Gaze, mimicry, process and access to the unconscious.


can be combined with this(wear headphones):
