    Video poam stanza of the longer video study "Heat Dozens with Lightning Wings," with sound by Strexx of http://www.strexx.com who wrangled the sound produced by an Empire toy stove and used it to form the basis of damage control audio for the soundtrack. This poam explores a system trying to organize itself, seeking a point of unification for its population, a theme that will have some joyousness tethered to it, too, for emerging, for existing, and for functioning as connective tissue so while there may be multiple forms of elements of damage, the system functions and as a (newly) functioning system perhaps is headed toward refined function, toward further blossoming of increasingly illuminating ways to map the possible configurations of the members tethered to this system on multiple scales to varying degrees. This is the situation in which the elements seek and locate connection points (that can also become, may have already been, may concurrently behave as bifurcation points --a network of activity that also establishes itself as a neural network and so is capable of acquiring forms of meanings. Multiple forms of damage on multiple scales; the connection points themselves may be damaged, supporting configurations of a community functioning within compromise, which can be a generous habitat. This video stanza is also a map. There are locations of beautiful elements and location of beautiful damage.

    A video poam exploring the mapping of neural networks in the mind through the linking of memory, a toy stove, the body's physiological responses to neurological temporary neurological damage, and imagination. Ideas about heat from one hub of this network, a hub which allows this hub to connect with other idea hubs in the mind. Anyone watching "Heat Dozens" has an opportunity to form a memory of the video poam and to form a network of associations formed by elements in the video poam linking with experiences already mapped in the mind and with environmental experiences occurring while watching the poam. The non-human produced sounds in the music track were produced by manipulating the oven door and heating elements switches of the Empire toy stove; these sounds were recorded by Ansted Moss and are the only sounds used in the instrumental portion of the soundtrack. Made in conjunction with the November 2007 University of Michigan "Arts and Minds""learning studio" event in which leading international artists, scientists, scholars, activists, and students explored the interactions of art and mind. The actual Empire toy stove was part of the "Heat Dozens" presentation, the oven filled with a small format booklet (soon to be available in this podcast in psd format) featuring video poam stills pulled from moments of video frame interface. The keepsake memory booklet was available to any participant who opened the oven and removed a booklet from it.

    This video poam is an unintended collaboration that in the lack of intention becomes a lattice itself, a community of interactions from multiple locations intersecting on a number of levels (or lattices). The compatibility of KC's video, and the spoken language with Ansted's images seems designed rather than incidental, yet it wasn't until I had these separate components for the Gallery exhibit component of "Pleasurable Complexity" Limited Fork poetry event that I realized the benefit of seeing the separate pieces together, allowing them to speak a shared language in addition to the multiple levels of saying in their separate languages. Two themes of the "Pleasurable Complexity" Limited Fork poetry event were "place value" and "implications of the lattice," with "implications of the lattice" contained in notions of "place value," and notions of "place value" contained in "implications of the lattice."

    This movie poam explores what led me to write the narrative in verse SLAVE MOTH when my son, the composer of the soundtrack for this short movie poam, was in sixth grade at a grade-six-through-twelve school. During a meeting, some parents wanted to ban a required ninth-grade ancestry assignment that was embarrassing, humiliating, and demeaning for disclosing that their sons could trace their ancestry no further than slavery. Right away, I realized the need for other models of slavery so that the shame being experienced could be attached to a broader, and I felt, likely more accurate context, one more able to embrace the range of possibilities of circumstances during slavery which, even if owners were benevolent, was unacceptable because ownership of human beings was unacceptable. Part of the horror of slavery is that benign gestures might make the peculiar institution seem acceptable, a good indignity. Imagination can make an incredible difference, and in fact made an incredibly negative difference for those mothers who in 2002 were unable to imagine a plausible, less obvious layer of the history so embarrassing for their sons that they would prefer not to explore the rich offerings of a past that their ancestors obviously survived no matter what horrors were encountered. How awful that they were so willing to deny the testimony that survival can be. How awful that they could construct for themselves only constricted, generic, and simplified images of slaves. I remain impressed and inspired by survival. There are layers of experience in SLAVE MOTH, and the Perry household is a complex and dynamic system of existence, relationships stabilizing and destabilizing as alliances shift and as feelings are poorly suppressed; there are conflicting understandings of responsibilities to self and others, and power shifts according to what is stabilizing and what is destabilizing at any given moment. The fact that power shifts makes it difficult for any one person to wield it well or consistently. SLAVE MOTH offers access to more of the layers of humanity that some mothers in 2002 were unable to allocate to enslaved persons. I too spoke at the meeting; just before I left to start writing immediately I informed the group advocating abolition of the genealogy assignment that my son, only in sixth grade that year, had had no trouble completing his assignment to write an ancestry poem. I commented that Ansted had traced his ancestry all the way back to the big bang, and considered himself a descendant of stardust. The text of his poem is part of "Project Genealogy," and is also offered here: Ancestry Poem We all came from a single cell a vast time ago specks coming to life in the oceans of the planets and in space everyone of us evolved from star dust into the form we take on now looking at space through telescopes at the next generation of star dust that will breathe --Ansted Moss, 22 October 2002.

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 21, 2006 30:23


    DOD is a theory piece of Limited Fork Poetics, an experimental film that celebrates how text, sound, and both moving and static images can form sensory communities of varying densities while explaining some of what necessitates such explorations. The sensory paths are not duplicates; the sonic is not trying to say what the visual image is saying or the visual text, but they are all commenting on shared existence, so there are moments of convergence, and moments that contemplate, even if they do not complete, exchange. The death of depth in part suggests that a notion of distance may not belong in LFP, for in Limited Fork Poetics, there are means of instantaneous travel, to any location including the infinitely small and the infinitely large. Once arriving at these locations, surface is encountered. To cut into something, to identify a slice is to expose an interior surface. LFP understands fracture and rupture as an opportunity to build again, and an interest in building again, even while knowing the structures that form are temporary according to varying time scales. An instrumental version of the soundtrack is available from the Limited Fork Music podcast.
