Inspiration Comes from Notes

the lcock is ticking death is coming
sounds of my hand clapping, feet, stomping, 
marching to death
using the fan to fan myself because I’m heating up close to death

inspiration comes from water shower, floating, in the wter,  
watertickling down my face, warm heat, the view of the ocean
music listening
reading
looking at magazines

my audience
early in the morning or late at night when I’m tired or delirious
drinking wine and dancing
i’m always open to inspiration
being overly tired

sources of inspiration come from feelings inside us the worldview we might have
external political situation science

mistake the feminine romance for the feminine pipilotti rist yearning and despair


his internal is about imagineation coming up with your own imagination of how the body might be it’s your imaginative take the ideas  come from our creative mind.

you are not limited biography you can invent your own. kim loses his own personal identity and becomes more of a concept by wearing his mask. he is his own means of his production. he is surrounded by his concepts literally.

book cover project idea possibility

What if I cut out the center of the books and placed objects inside them like some dirty cigarette butts and a small liquot bottle along with some shake your booty music to detox?
I could do this for all the books.
Right now I only still have about 5 book covers I'm happy with. But that might be enough to put stuff inside and make them a bit sculptural?
Or there could be mini video players inside the book.


Thoughts on I could have been a contender

I am planning to take my advanced students to 2 different nursing homes in the area. One is a VA home and the other one is just a general nursing home. I want them to do either photography or illustration along with audio and writing to create portraits from stories they have been told.
Thinking further on this idea, I thought I might ask some of the residents about what they had thought of becoming at one point in their life and never happened.
So far when I talk to anyone about my project I could have been a contender I find people have stories to tell me about how they thought about doing something else with their life and couldn't make it happen for a variety of reasons sometimes outside of their control and sometimes out of fear, circumstance, oppression, marriage, children, other responsibilities, lack of funds, resources, and courage.
Then I thought about all the aged women in the homes and wondered what they think about the rights and privileges women have now, as opposed to when they were young. So much has changed in fifty years that it makes me think some of these women in the homes might have unfulfilled dreams just because of the time they were born in. I thought wouldn't it be interesting to try and capture these women on camera showing me the contender they could have been or the story behind why it never happened. Somehow I am sad thinking about it. Perhaps my thoughts go back as always to my mother and how she was short changed.

Projection mapping problems

Spoke with Gene about my idea of projecting images onto my dress as I dance or pose and he said it would be quite difficult.I would probably need someone to man my computer working live with millumen or modulate to sync the masking and mapping to my outfit while I move so that the image doesn't show up somewhere else. I did mention that I wanted to have background projection simultaneously and he thought that should work to cover up the possible bleeds.
Just have to try it and see. When, is the question, as I still haven't done the videos. Have only been researching.
Thinking I will have images go to black so I can change my position and then they appear again.

Thoughts
Images projected on dress would be ageing, death, religion, war, and lots of black and white and pop color geometric shapes in between.
I bought some fake flowers today and ripped them apart to glue on a barrette for my hair.
The past fiew days I've been recording myself singing only the babeos of flamenco songs and I pretty much suck. I'm only really good when I'm in the shower or after I've had a few glasses of wine and I'm loose in the throat and my thoughts become more fluid, less erratic.
Not sure of sound for piece. Maybe it will only be percussion like a metronome

where I will make different flamenco poses while images rapid fire project onto my outfit.
