oscillating strategies of war- pulse jet

Technology of Well-Being

Launch seeds into the air to germinate the ground below

The shift in power from war to research existed because of the instilled desire that American's possessed for human advancement, space travel and research in the sciences. Contemporary American society possesses a different kind of desire, that exists particularly due to American media's metaphysical shift towards a desire for objects of distraction. Contemporary Objet a's cause us to physically react, activating the drive; that which propels oneself forward. We interpret "up" as "forward", in constant motion in order to attain a certain goal, an idealized goal. The line blurs as the drive begins to wind down. This is due to the various moments where one thought the goal had been reached, but the desire was not satiated. The goal was passed as if by rocket, the data was recorded and interpellated. We move forward, UP. Actually, we don't realize it, but we begin from the ground again most of the time in states of negotiation.  

Let us develop the desire for Well-Being. Honolulu, Waikiki area, although at a higher cost of living, offers $11hr minimum wage. Also, prime real estate all over is allocated to public parks that are geared towards neighborhood enrichment. Supermarkets in Maui do not use plastic bags anymore. People are in a constantly developing metaphysics of well-being. Solar energy and wind power is harvested all over the islands. With all this said, the locals in Maui do love Wal-Mart. It is said that the islands receive music and products later than the mainland but I believe that what they receive later than the mainland is the activation of its gaze. Hmmm...

advancement and movement of SHI

Another instance of film capturing the vibrant nature of the dragon in development. 

Monster

MONSTER

Family man, NASCAR, Fifth Estate

Do we know when we are being targeted? Also, when a product is made for us, how much of it is for the benefit of the consumer? the reseller? the larger corporation? According to this product re-seller video for the Wrangler Authority tire; I am a family man who watches NASCAR and likes recreational activities, is free spirited, etc....

 Ulmer, the Fifth Estate:

Taken from the source Walmart

The inner, the self and the first encounter = SHI spokesperson

This man was found in a body recovery effort after a ship had sunk 3 days before. After being exposed to the origins of Electracy and entered back into the interpellated self, you emerge more aware. 

I think he should be my spokesperson for SHI products

This would be the amount of SHI potential built into all of us

SHI thru timbales = film < ~lamella~

It's hard to see, but check out the cat on her shirt

I relate to the timbales very well, particularly due to the continuous rhythm and flow of the person in charge of activating the them. The person playing, the Timbalero, is like the brush wet with Sumi ink, marking the surface of the real that she is in, the gaze is upon her, she performs, mimics, adds her own in short instances.

6 minute point marks his fully developed libido

The film itself as a material, coiled up and restricted in its reel, comes to life as an endless stream of the unconscious into the real. The video above is a boy that gets interpellated on television, with a gaze imposed upon him that he is reflects through his adulthood. The boy is given the lamella that was on Tito Puentes. He utilizes it through the years on stage on the famous TV show: Sabado Gigante. 

Repetition and pattern

Kusama

How do marks follow each other, almost as if under a gravitational pull, a safety net, a way to conquer the subject by a strength in numbers?

SHOP KUSAMA

Pure optical situations reveal connections of a new type which are no longer sensory-motor and which bring the emancipated senses into direct relation with time and thought. This is the very special extension of the Pure Optical image: to make time and thought perceptible, to make them visible and of sound.p.65

Yayoi Kusama produces work that relies heavily on pattern and repetition. Her own issues with mental illness feed this repetition. She attributes the repetition to her problems at home when she was a child.
Remember Jullien stating that everyone has a mental illness.

In film, the still image is in vain, like the foreboding of a car breakdown, like watching out for death.p.63

 In slowing down this pattern, one can see that within such a long structure there sit thousands of individual frames, instances of death. I believe that Kusama, just like many scientists who have a high powered microscope, overlay the pattern of living organisms that cover everything.

There is an interesting play that occurs between a pattern's gaze and the subject's. It is difficult to focus on a complex pattern so the gaze upon a pattern such as Kusama's is one that is diffused upon contact. The gaze will run more complex algorithms in order to narrow the gaze.

Electrate Long Shot- corpse of the Dragon

When people think they've seen enough of something, but there's more, and no change of shot, then they react in a curiously vivid way.p.11

The Long Shot

Movement of frames in a film, when slowed down, reveal many instances of the decayed essence of the subject. Film becomes a series of photographs that

Film reanimates the coordinates of time, of representing movement as flows and patterns of time by expressing them as energy rather than as the effects of energy given in the transition from one frozen instant to another.p.96

The Vaporwave genre of music and video combinations, that was not mentioned in the Cinematics book, works very well within the poetics section of our process in this class. This video is called Saint Pepsi. The artist uses footage and samples of early 90's media. In slowing and chopping the sound and video as well as encouraging the analog glitch that arises through VHS playback on Cathode tubes,

$% the assumption of a future-virtual technology consumer corporate saving us all %$

is the rotten corpse of the dragon, re-animated and brought into the Fifth Estate to serve as a puppet that represents the Other (as we knew the Other). This video is like the last photograph ever taken of Bigfoot. He/She has been re-classified as the Other.

It is also like the sound of mice laughing. We can only hear them if we record the laughter and then process the audio to a lower frequency:
                                    
Vaporwave art-making is built in an Electrate Metaphysics, and forms critique through looking at its own history. The artist states via media "This is the Other, slowed down.-Here, look at this pattern (     ) Listen to the repetition of sound. What are the lyrics? Were any elements of this action invisible until you slowed down to feel how it is stained on you?

Now that we have seen the dragon corpse, let's set out to create a more beautiful one.

Surveillance-tracking

When under surveillance, under the constant gaze of the Other, the oscillating force of the subject's drive reacts and acts, performs, puts on the mask. The subject becomes the hunter, the model, the posh socialite, the tree hugger.

It is in the space of the other that he sees himself and the point in which he looks at himself. p.144

Trackers

What is involved in the drive is making oneself seen. The activity of the drive is in this making oneself and by relating it to the field of the other drives that we throw light on it. In this process of motion tracking with Syntheyes, I had come to the conclusion that this video would not work correctly, and I would just have to re-shoot. I have always been enamored by the process of things, and being able to track an object by looking at its representative pixels gave me many ideas to go by. The man that looks back at me sees himself, and looks over to his friend to convey the information. I can sense his friend's gaze upon him, as well as my own. I want to investigate this more.

Dejate LLevar y Consientete (let yourself be taken... and indulge)

Consentir: to allow, to agree, to spoil

to break, to give, to split, to crack

This image is a great example of the gaze, of the objet a, placement in the most odd of places, yet, is it really that odd? This is taken in Teotihuacan, an ancient site in Mexico that contains the large temples of the Sun and Moon. Most of what can be seen in the reflections of the Nestle advertisement are the reconstructed villages of Teotihuacan. Were objects similar to this thousands of years ago? If you go down the bases of the pyramids, in the shadows, you see paintings of jaguars, people, and rules. 

In this instance, I was searching for images which contain a reflection, in order to witness the subject/object in the container of a photograph. Also, I was looking for SHI in particular, which often times is well hidden, just like this ad (twin oscillating dragons). Yet, looking at the top left of the ads, one can witness the remnants of a sticker artist who, in witnessing the Lexis, chose to take advantage of it by attaching his/her own mark.
