Shooting Pain In Upper Thigh



I arrived in Paris this morning. Tomorrow night, we (me and Thomas) plays Tvestroy in a large cinema. We could make an installation our material. I am a zombie today. I had a little shock on arrival. I had forgotten that Paris was so huge and there were so many people. I do not like how this shock occurs, I felt bad nervousness, one that reminds me of the depression. When I'm tired, I often fear that a relapse but I think I did a bit too much for nothing, because this is all behind. Must say that I drank a little on the plane. Furthermore I still have that damn nervous before shows, I guess he must learn to live with that. We are housed in the 1st district. I am lucky to be here. I feel not realize what happens to me too. It appears to me to be abstract here, while I'm at the end of academic session in Montreal (on strike!). In fact I do not really remember what will happen to the session because of the strike that has lasted a month. For this reason, I decided to extend the trip a few jours.Donc I'll be there for ten days, I have eyes and ears wide open and I will share my discoveries. Tomorrow I experimented jogging along the Seine, wow!

The Paris show as anxiolitic? Portrait Portrait

Lacan makes an interesting suggestion of what anguish. "Anxiety occurs when lack is lacking.

anxiety would not be that the presence of a "missing" in the psyche but the presence of the object "missing" in the immediate reality of the subject. Trying to understand Lacanian position, I found the text " Beyond anguish" of Pierre Arel which questions the social definitions and current clinical anxiety, while addressing the proposal of Lacan.

Interesting : he makes a link between anxiety and performance anxiolitic.


Excerpt from the text " Beyond anguish" of Pierre Arel :

" It must be said that attempts to fill many are not so much by what we call objects consumption than the relationship we have established with the various instinctual objects that psychoanalysts have identified failures in the delivery and manifestations of anxiety that accompany them.

A more illustrative example of this type of report to be is to find reality in the show, whether television, theater or events in which we see that many of the limits of repression, moral rules that govern our social life are taken, whether by word or presentification scopic objects of various dirty, disgusting, frightening, exciting, or invitation, the temptation to break a pact, of betraying a promise, or in many other ways that inevitably arouse the appetite and the enjoyment of many, and invariably generate anxiety. So that whoever gets in front of his TV reality show with his beer or joint, is a tight circuit excited by being calmed by anxiety and the anxiolytic
.

Without taking into account the drive circuit, any intervention at this level may participate in its vicious circle, or even worse.
"

The show is seen by the way Debord:

" The alienation of the viewer the benefit of the contemplated object (which is the result of his own unconscious activity) is expressed as follows: the more he contemplates , unless he lives the more he accepts recognizing himself in the dominant images of need, the less he understands his own existence and his own desire. exteriority of the spectacle from acting man appears in his own gestures are no longer his, but at another that he represents. That is why the spectator feels at home nowhere, because the spectacle is everywhere "

How To Do Oovoo Effects

automatic

So here's what it gave. Finally the images are not "mapped" across the faces of the cubes, it will be the end of the session. So this portrait / landscape buffer memory is saturated with my activities the last month. A simple process: taking pictures spontaneously, automated assembly. A phenomenological reduction squared * 3. In the studio very chic mastery "Research / Creation in Media Experimental. "

Shortening Butter Equivalence Baking



I am making a portrait work for the seminar course on the image. We must create a self portrait, which does not last more than a minute in which we n'apparaissons not. Starting from relatively simple constraints, I embarked in an experiment of some complexity (without really wanting it). It must be said that the video Conference of Martin Ouellet greatly inspired me to work the matter out of the computer!

This week I worked with my friend Marie-Chantale in the manufacture of a showcase for Festival of Films on Art. The poster festival resumes work of artist George Rousse. George Rousse uses the technique "of anamorphosis" in most of his works. The showcase is a reproduction of creative poster, itself a reproduction of a work by George Rousse.



This is a game of perspective in which an image can only be seen in its entirety from a specific point of view. In other view, the image is segmented and distorted. This made me want to work with 3d anamorphic projection (3D geometry). This showcase project fell simultaneously with a presentation on the projection geometry 3d given during the Seminar on interactivity.






I do not know if I'll make cons for Monday ... Must contruire cubes projected to coincides virtual world and real world content and programming to project. We'll see. In terms of content, we'll talk ;-).
