Philip K Dick on How To Tell Who’s Insane
“One of the things I have always noticed is that many people equate insanity with extravagant behavior…that is where someone is shouting or being very violent, ya know very impassioned but when something is done very calmly and dispassionately that this is rational, that rational and dispassionate are somehow synonymous… and that a person who speaks in a modulated voice, and a calm voice is the ipso facto; a rational person….not someone who screams, shouts, cries, you know rants and stuff….this is a typical anglo-saxon fallacy…you know you won’t find this in Greece, you wont find this in Italy…this is beautifully illustrated by the Gestapo, by the SS, Hitler gave a very important speech, one of his major policy speeches to the Gestapo… was that they must never enjoy the death of the Jews in the camps…they must never get emotionally excited by it, they must view it calmly and without feeling…” -Philip K. Dick

I woke up one morning in November
And I realized I love you
It’s not your headlights in front
Your tailpipe, or the skylight above you
It’s the way you cling to the road
When the wind tries to shove you
I’d never go riding away
And come back home without you -Phish
we are not (moving) objects
It is often the case that only a few parameters of an object’s motion are known, while the rest are unknown.
But I am not an object and neither are you and still your movements perplex.
paved screen
getting it juuuuuuuussst right
Michael Sinopoli of Greylock Productions and I have been in the editing studio working on the details of the first projected physical scene poem from auto mobile body works. I notice that the screen becomes a source for paving moving images and consistently giving me the opportunity to empty my eyes and view freshly something I’ve been seeing since birth– myself. 60 frames per second. 3 big beats to the bar. Plie, arms drop, white noise. Line up. Stretch. Dissolve. Follow the last note. See that phrase.
Where did it go?
