Photographic FluxVisions in time
Usually photos are good at recording space, while video is required to capture time as well. However, in this collection I try to include both time and space in a single photograph. Things disappearing silently in the backgroundAbsent motives and things no more
One day I was walking, on the main street, when I suddenly sensed a difference. I turned my head and found myself looking at nothing.
Or more precisely, I was looking at something that was no longer there. The old gasstation had been abandoned overnight, only empty frames left.
I mentioned it to my brother, who added that several other stations had closed, all somewhere between city and suburb. Maybe a new trend..? Light ShowFire in the Dark

TUESDAY 15: I have always been wondering, if this old Socrates-quote was more than an unintended absurdity. But today I discovered its match:

What is a super-cycle? Two or more circles combined. This may sound esoteric, but here's a really simple example:
Imagine the Moon circling Earth, or imagine Earth circling Sun. These are examples of simple circle-systems.
Then imagine standing on the sun, and following the orbit of the Moon; here we have two circles combined.
We also look at a strange orbit, regarding the Moons velocity; Sometimes it seems to speed up, or slow down.
Sometimes even stopping. Or even weirder, moving backwards?

If you see a pattern moving right or left, up or down - it's an illusion.
If you see a pattern starting ordered and gradually becoming chaotic,
this is also an illusion. In fact, the pattern itself is an illusion... More video

Optical illusionsYour eyes adjustable like television?![]()
There are many possible optical illusions. Some are just a trick to fool the eye, or a gimmick in the filmindustry. But art has also found them usefull sometimes, fx Escher, Magritte, Dali.
However, all illusions I've seen did have one irritating drawback. Each time I was left with the impression that the illusion was an effect of the picture, not the eye. Thats actually an extra illusion by itself. The optical illusion is caused by the optics itself (=eye+brain), no picture is required. In other words, you may create an optical illusion merely by manipulating your own eyes.
Here are some simple experiments that anyone may try... EonWorlds largest number![]()
Some entities are small but numerous.
Some incredibly high but only rarely used.
However, both ends are necessary, and we need the full spectrum.
Is it possible to touch the sky, while keeping your feet firmly grounded?
At least one may try, here's my suggestion... |
The 4 ElementsAre there more than four..?
The idea of 4 elements are usually seen as obsolete metaphysics, that finally collapsed centuries ago.
However, this is only partly true. The original theory made physical sense, but creates nonsense when applied chemically.
Above Fire was supposed to exist a mysterious substance phlogiston, with a negative weight to balance equations.

The Woman who Turned into an Oak
One day Sylvia discovered that a small leaf had sprouted from her left elbow.
Next day she found another on her right arm; she began suspecting a change.
The rest of the week she increasingly found herself in the garden, branching out in silence, Panorama!
Doing nothing at all, standing still, admiring the suns speeding arc,
yet yearning for rain to fall; I'm leaving, she thought...
When her friends asked if she didn't find this difficult,
she answered: No, not at all.
It's as easy as one, two, tree... All immortals will be |
