HRAFNSGALDRAR:
A RAVEN-SONG OF THE TRIPLE AETTS,
THE SECRET NAMES OF THE ELDER RUNES

Beneath a raven banner
Weaving in wild winds
I find victory’s spear
In the flow of song
Runes from the mouth
Of the one-eyed god.

On the gallows-tree
I hang nine days
Made mad with mead
Of the eagle’s flight
I drink in turn
From Mimir’s well.




















plus many more amazing collages here

From Fake for Real - Essay:

In summer we ski indoors; in winter we spray snow on
the slopes. Plastic surgeons sculpt flesh to match retouched
photographs in glossy magazines. People drink sports drinks
with nonexistent flavours like “wild ice zest berry”. We wage
war on video screens. Birds mimic mobile–phone ringtones.

MP3: Maurice Gibb - Adam's Dream


FLYING THRU VIRTUAL SPACE
VIRTUAL SIDE OF LIFE
LIFE'S VIRTUAL TWISTS AND TURNS
VIRTUAL EMOTIONS AS OPPOSED TO ______ EMOTIONS
VIRTUAL SHAME
INTERNET SHAME

When we talk negatively about computers, like when we
praise "getting away from the computer", how much we
hate myspace, etc, are we really just scared and ashamed
at what computers/the internet/technology enables us to
do? Are we scared of exploring dark secrets/weird
fetishes/sleepless nights/our "weird sides" that the internet
may, for whatever reason, help bring to the surface?

via SHRINES:

LSD: The Dream Emulator was a Sony Playstation game released in 1998 only in
Japan. The game is a series of dreams, based to some degree on someone's dream
journal. As you wander through different settings, pushing on anything transports
you to another scene. Some actions end a dream early, such as jumping off a cliff.
And that's about all the interaction there is in the game.

Unfortunately, I had an overwhelmingly negative experience at the artist
residency program Central Trak in Dallas and have decided to cancel my
artist talk (that would've happened on Dec 4) and residency there.

However, the collaborative installation I worked on with my good buddy
Dylan Reece, Beyond the Palaestra: 2127, looks great and will be on view
in Central Trak's outdoor window space through January 20, 2009.
Central Trak, 800 Exposition, Dallas, TX 75226.
