Thoughts for the moment/ orbs

But too busy to expand on them.... and this a part of the blog that is random. Not tying into anything related to anything really.

Conversations about orbs during the recession house party on friday... Note, I don't believe in orbs...but interesting neverless... a quote from a website:

Orbs are an exiting new area for amateur and scientific investigation. What are they? Could they be a form of angelic being - a material representation of an intelligent spiritual energy similar to the human form which is the representation of the real, spiritual individual. Could they be from The Great White Brotherhood or what the Bible calls the Principalities. Or maybe they are what is referred to in various cultures as brownies, elves, pixies, goblins, faeries, sylphs, sprites, undines, sylphids, salamandrines, sylphs, krolls, gnomes, kelps, kobolds, banshees, leprechauns, elementals, spirit guides or guardian angles?

There is this news story here.

Rube Goldberg inspired music video.

This video is inspired by Rube Goldberg. Uhhhhh, what can I say but well done. I guess it was funded by State Farm, which is kind of a bummer...

Who is my art hero at the moment?

The conceptual architect Wellington Reiter is my current art hero. He has been one of my faves for awhile and his work is helping me/ inspiring me through the pen and ink drawings I am working on in my studio (right now...), which is part of my MFA show. His book of drawings, sculpture, and writings have been one of my bibles I carry around with me for at least six years. His pen and ink drawings of structures that resemble cones, and exploded bridges, scribbled grid irons, and utopic recontextualized aircraft carriers, are mind blowing and full of creative genius. I can't help but hold this book dear to me. He is a precursor to another fave, the much more well know Julie Mehretu. But that is another blog. Here is a photo of one of his amazing drawings....

Friendtern

Another word for the new dictionary could be friendtern. It's when a friend becomes your intern, , or your intern becomes your friend. Both of these have happen to me.
