jotta / intel project 01 - the persistence of memory

2010-11-01T18:35:00.004Z

beginning a high-definition video triptych based around dali's 'the persistence of memory'.

drawing on the ephemeral and enigmatic qualities in dreaming that dali was inspired by, digital 'paint' will descend, curl into forms, settle into semi-recognisable arrangements before slowly melting offscreen. the effect of watching the three portrait-oriented videos together may be that forms naturally coincide or appear to make sense fleetingly, approximating the brain's own impressive application of logic and authenticity to its own twitching electrical impulses while in a dream-state.

aerial view of woman lying face down on a rural hill at twilight. lying inside a huge fabric bag, holding onto the rim with the main body extending above her head, almost like lying on the pillow of a huge sleeping bag. then see her speeding across the ground on it, down rocky escarpments and across valleys. wonder why she isn't getting hurt. keep seeing passenger planes in the distance. then she stops at a certain point and a plane arcs towards her, getting very close to the ground. realise she is purposely in the flightpath. when the plane passes just over her the engine suddenly pumps the balloon of her device with hot air and sends her hurtling high up into the air at hundreds of miles per hour. she manages to hold on just with her hands and swoops and flies around.

in a city. strange things happening, lots of altercations with people, huge tension in the air. one boy with powers says he wants to try to help, so we go with a woman to a field and he crouches down. the strange fuzzy dislocated look to the world disappeared and we were happy it was normal again for now

on the surface of solaris

2010-09-20T05:12:00.000+01:00

It was like looking at the ruins of an ancient town, a Moroccan city tens of centuries old, convulsed by an earthquake or some other disaster. I made out a tangled web of winding sidestreets choked with debris, and alleyways which fell abruptly towards the oily foam that floated close to the shore. In the middle distance, great battlements stood intact, sustained by ossified buttresses. There were dark openings in the swollen, sunken walls — traces of windows or loop-holes. The whole of this floating town canted to one side or another like a foundering ship, pitched and turned slowly, and the sun cast continually moving shadows, which crept among the ruined alleys. Now and again a polished surface caught and reflected the light.

dream 6

2010-06-09T00:11:00.001+01:00

new york city, an aerial view of a fairly narrow totally straight man-made river chute which started at one point in a sort of jungle, went through the city and came out in the harbour far away on the horizon. athletes started jumping into the empty chute and running a sort of marathon down towards the far end, some of them pole-vaulting in and others hurdling and hop skip and jumping in. there must have been thousands of runners after a while. then water started pouring in from holes in the sides until everyone was floating out to sea.

everyone was hanging out on the riversides. these brightly coloured chalk-dusted stencils of the queen and prince phillip kept floating downstream. i jumped in and grabbed a part of the queen's face with my hand and it skewed nicely across the water. monkeys and weird animals kept crossing the river with dead prey and climbing the trees.

had to go to a friend's wedding. my parents were homebound for some reason. kept going between the wedding and the house because it was boring. the bride kept talking to me and my girlfriend about how pretty one of the bridesmaids was and i was trying to deflect it and disagreeing. she thought i was rude. she was a bit drunk. i left to go back to the house. inside there was a security guy who was quietly bragging about his past job as a burglar who used to torture people in their own homes. there was also a special guest, jim davidson. as i came into the front room i had a chocolate in my mouth and told everyone something about the wedding which set davidson off talking to my dad about some joke he used to do with john virgo.

on a similar topic, the deaths of civilizations etc, currently reading this book:

"(the cover) drawing was made in the temple. could primitive imagination have produced anything so remarkably similar to a modern astronaut in his rocket? those strange markings at the foot of the drawing can only be an indication of the flames and gases coming from the propulsion unit."

me and friend in a field, with a farmer and his huge dog. had to stay there overnight. had a suitcase with all my stuff in it, open on the floor, the og kept coming and pulling socks from it, at first i managed to make it drop them and take an old one i threw to it but then kept coming back to it. the farmer decided to construct the fences in such a way to protect us at night. it was going to be like a sort of hexagon (huge hexagon) with segments, with him and the dog in one and us in an opposite one. the fences had a sort of mezzanine level you could walk about on, a sort of netting, bouncy level. we started jumping around, i was over at the far side near the road. i was really thirsty so the farmer offered me the very end of his drink in a polystyrene cup, was meant to be like coke but made from golden syrup. was warm and tasted like regurgitated spit, with that same consistency. think i went to get a real coke from a vendor that pulled up in a truck.

preparing for an installation with lucy at off modern on the 29th

*************************

Memento Mori - Scene V
a collaboration between Daniel Swan and Lucy Stockton
Hovering somewhere between unused science fiction film-set and immersive walk-in installation, MEMENTO MORI allows visitors to partake in the hazy funeral ceremony of a human being that will not exist for fifty generations.
Taking cues from folk tradition, dreams, popular culture and films both real and imagined, a stark vision of a ceremony mutated yet preserved by time and events is presented using our primitive technology. Data projection, sculpture, light, fog and sound combine to produce the immersive and intoxicating environment of a distant future strongly influenced by its past, with dim fluorescents, distant clouds and potted plants reflecting in the elevated black coffin that presides over the scene.

doing jackass stunt kinda show with some filipinos on a beach. was there all day. one guy kept doing all the stunts towards me, first with ninja wheels he threw which skimmed me and made my back bleed, him holding me down for other stuff. at one point him and some people blindfolded me and bundled me on a motorbike which sped down the beach. the big stunt he wanted to do was something with throwing knives. knew it was going to involve me and i was worried. at first he was just going to throw them as far as he could and i would film it (throw them towards me). but then he wanted to do a weird random release thing with the knives on some sort of spinning rotator, and also had a sort of frame which he wanted me and his colleagues to put our heads in. said no. told him a good stunt to do would be to skydive and drop a target board too and throw the knives into it while falling. told him he would probably set a new world record too.
then there was some stuff where an old indian man was pulling a broken down lorry with ropes through a busy market street.
then it was my first day at a new class at school (had missed a lot of days due to the stunts). chris was there and karl. tutor was a lot like a filipino johnny depp willy wonka and was sat on a really tall pedestal desk thing. i said my name and went to sit down at the back w chris and karl, also anne was sat next to me. at one point had to rule a line with some huge floppy bits of wood-hessian i had left over from the stunt thing. let anne and chris borrow it, but chris and karl never seemed to quite understand me, like they were in a bubble. prospective students and their parents (i think that was who they were) came outside of the class watching the teacher as he played with his weird glasses which he pullled a tab and they grew or something. he sort of performed for them. (also there was another teacher waiting inside the door to speak to ours but he didnt answer him,i even thought he might be too embarrassed if another teacher saw his act but he seemed not at all). then some women came round with huge plates of food, eclairs, donuts, cakes. i wanted a profiterole. they almost gave me it but then took it away when they knew it was my first day and i hadnt had one before. i thought that was really stupid and i was angry. then i was walking on a sunny pavement with cars on one side and a beautiful coast on another, towards a blue shining city

went to visit some science place where there was a largeish donut-shaped glass tank thing in a big room with an open or glass roof. the glass thing was almost more like a snail's shell, with the walkway descending to an opening. a guy showed me how a strange pulley system could slow him down as he went down the ramp and enter the donut at a constant speed. then he showed me, or i saw through his eyes, how four large robotic arms attached to a glass suit could let him simulate weightlessness, and he floated around the tank with the robot arms acting out the inertia and stuff as he banked and rolled around. he mustve been taking video using the suit cos he then showed me the room in the middle which was a video edit room so you could watch it back w/o having to get out the suit, but it was actually a really tiny door you crawled half through and put your tape in a tv. people worked in there but for the most part ignored him/me.

navifating beauty king and beauty queen from paris to their hotel way far away on along the coast. each had supercars.
saw things like huge floating circles of canvas with small chamber orchesteas floating above the sea, the fastest boat ive ever seen going the wrong way along the sea and making all these other amphibious vehicles swerve and crash, going maybe 300 mph
beauty queen got to the hotel first, i had a giant map which was expensive but i thought was worth it. went in. gradually others started arriving, felt like i had met them before, we were all friends. some didnt like being frisked. one had the biggest gun i had ever seen with buttons all over it lie a synthesizer or something. they were pushed by the staff or something and let bullets out. then we all had to behave, i held the gun and put its double triggers on safety to show the staff. then we arranged a party in our room that started at 7.30. it was already 6
