Perspectivism

In so far as the word “knowledge” has any meaning, the world is knowable; but it is interpretable otherwise, it has no meaning behind it, but countless meanings — “Perspectivism.” It is our needs that interpret the world; our drives and their For and Against. Every drive is a kind of lust to rule; each one has its perspective that it would like to compel all the other drives to accept as a norm.[1]

My Brain

I've been taking part in some psychology studies for students at UCL and I had an MRI scan of my brain taken.

Visited: Bruce Lacey Experience @ Camden Arts Centre

Lots of crazy contraptions. 

And dressing up.

I really liked this homemade sunshine recording device.

And the posters.

We held a pinhole photography workshop by Stephanie Rose Wood at a local holiday club.

We had a drop-in workshop day at the West Library for people to stop by and create decorations for the festival. (Photos by Nadine Harbarth)

And currently we are having a mural of some parrots painted by Louis on Tilloch Street

The Cally Festival is this Sunday, 16th, Caledonian Road, N1, 12-6pm.

John Cage

'The highest purpose is to have no purpose at all. This puts one in accord with nature, in her manner of operation'.

'One must be disinterested, give up illusions about ideas of order, expressions of sentiment and all the rest of our inherited claptrap'.

'Theatre takes place all the time, wherever one is. And it simply facilitates persuading one this is the case'.

(From the medium is the message)

Seen: The Adjustment Bureau

Too much of Hollywood's influence but now I want to read the book it's based on 'The Adjustment Team' by Phillip K. Dick 

Guy Debord

"Man is more and more, and ever more powerfully the producer of every detail of him own world. The closer his life comes to being his own creation the more drastically he is he cut off from that life"
