Agatha Macbeth: I just cammed up and clicked Sit

Wol Euler: he's four years old, he'll figure it out

Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): Teleo is also down...maybe wants to come up

Eden Haiku: Oh and Xirana, your ice pyramids are sooo beautiful!

Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): ty Eden :)

Eden Haiku: Another balancing act :)

Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): yes:)

Agatha Macbeth: It's all beautiful

Wol Euler: Wol Euler nods.

Eden Haiku: And Santoshima's undermarine quatum computer. Is it a quantum computer by the way?

Bleu (bleu.oleander): would anyone like to tell us a bit about their sculpture?

Bleu (bleu.oleander): or any thoughts on the theme?

 Eden Haiku: Everybody froze...

Bleu (bleu.oleander): ha ha!

 Zen (zen.arado): ha ha

San (santoshima): cold bum, frozen brain

Yaku (yakuzza.lethecus): *brrrrr*

Bleu (bleu.oleander): :)

Wol Euler: reminds me of something Churchill once said

Eden Haiku: I find the ice textures amazingly beautiful, all of them!

Bleu (bleu.oleander): yes

Zen (zen.arado): yes

Eden Haiku: Churchill?

Wol Euler: yes, very beautiful

Wol Euler: if there are no volunteers, perhaps we can just pick a volunteer :) Bleu, would you like to go first?

 

Storm Nordwind: I started with a poem from the Kuan Yin Oracle about ice. It made me think about we think about ice encapsulating but it can actually be quite freeing, if it encapsulates the baggage we often carry around. So I built an ice shower for people to reflect on that in, and helped them drop all appearance in it.

 

Bleu (bleu.oleander): ha ha Wol

Bleu (bleu.oleander): ok

Eden Haiku: The theme was meant on a physical level and a mental level right...?

Wol Euler: (storm, sorry, pls continue)

Zen (zen.arado): freeing by freezing?

Storm Nordwind: yes

Zen (zen.arado): nicde idea

San (santoshima): :)

Bleu (bleu.oleander): lovely

Bleu (bleu.oleander): so reflection more as inner thought?

 

Storm Nordwind: The poem is 

 "First a crystal, cold and brilliant.

 Then a sheet, thin and brittle.

 Ice forms - releasing your burden, unfreezing your simplicity."

 

Storm Nordwind: yes Bleu

Zen (zen.arado): Buddhsttemples areoften built in high mountains with freezing weather

Bleu (bleu.oleander): interesting

San (santoshima): very good

Agatha Macbeth: Sounds nice

San (santoshima): the shower crystals were so unexpected

San (santoshima): and startle in a way

Zen (zen.arado): purification of ice

Storm Nordwind: Yes. An unexpected cleansing :)

Eden Haiku: Oh byes Storm did love the "unfreezing your sinmplicity" while under the shower :)

Agatha Macbeth: Agatha Macbeth ponders sinmplicity

Bleu (bleu.oleander): in my piece with the water I played with two meanings of "reflection"

Bleu (bleu.oleander): the physical reflection in the water

Eden Haiku: Sinmplicity is for catholic girls only Agaathita :)

Storm Nordwind: There's not more i can say about it except please try it - it's interactive art - and make sure you look at yourself at the end!

Bleu (bleu.oleander): and a pausing by the water to "reflect" upon my inner thoughts

Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear, I should know that

Bleu (bleu.oleander): my other piece ... I played with the PaB logo

 

Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): the two inverted pyramids are meant to show the two sides of ourselves... the one we show outside and the one that lies under the skin and that’s always asking questions about everything... we sit and watch out thoughts come from inside and looking for answers we can get our ‘back’ really cold :))

 

Eden Haiku: ;)

Bleu (bleu.oleander): nice Xirana!

Zen (zen.arado): nice Bleu

Zen (zen.arado): and Xirana

Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): :)

Bleu (bleu.oleander): :)

Bleu (bleu.oleander): Zen, tell us about yours

Zen (zen.arado): can I postit first?

 Bleu (bleu.oleander): sure

Zen (zen.arado): itlooks a bit long

Zen (zen.arado): :(

Agatha Macbeth: They all say that

 

 

Zen (zen.arado): Reflections

 

 Faint reflections gathered and focused

 Narrow bandwiths of unintelligible noise

 A tiny one arc minute glimpse of indescribability

 Sagittarian signals signalling what?

 Only humankind's insatiable curiosity?

 

 It couldn't be that impersonal and lonely

 There must be more life out there

 Or are we left to our own projections?

 Our fantasisizing mythologies?

 

 But myths disperse like magellanic hydrogen clouds

 A cold scientific formulaic description

 Descralised space

 Inhuman impersonality

 Neutral neutron stars pulsing metranomically

 

 If reality is so inexplicable, indefinable

 Linear or cyclic - who knows?

 Can we add a transcendant reality?

 A warm human dreamtime?

 A different time/space dimension?

 

 We with our reciprocal narrow arc of comprehension

 With only rearrangements of 26 letters and a little mathematics

 And a desperate thirst for meaning

 

Zen (zen.arado): So...

Agatha Macbeth: Wow, shame Pema's not here

Bleu (bleu.oleander): great interpretation of the theme Zen

Zen (zen.arado): I thought of how a radio telescope picks up faint reflections and reflects them from space to us

 Zen (zen.arado): and hwy we do that

Zen (zen.arado): our search for meaning

Zen (zen.arado): our curiousity

Eden Haiku: Loves "A warm human dreamtime?

Zen (zen.arado): out overlaying Gods and demons

Wol Euler: Wol Euler nods.

Bleu (bleu.oleander): reflection is a kinda search for meaning?

Zen (zen.arado): inecting our humanness onto an impersonal world

boxy's nose: Yaku licks boxy's nose

boxy (alfred.kelberry): hi :)

Yaku (yakuzza.lethecus): up here boxy

Agatha Macbeth: Aha, an Alf is near

Bleu (bleu.oleander): hiya boxy

boxy (alfred.kelberry): can't see you yet

Zen (zen.arado): it was inspired a bit by Xirana's Eternal cycle

Eden Haiku: It's beautiful Zen. Haven't seen all the sculptures yet...

Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): hi boxy!! :)

Agatha Macbeth: We're using the Romulan cloaking device

boxy (alfred.kelberry): aha, the upper deck

Zen (zen.arado): and ties in ith a Ted vido that mentins patternicity and agebticitry

Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): ahhh the Eternal return :)

 boxy (alfred.kelberry): hi :)

Wol Euler: nice, zen, thank you

Agatha Macbeth: So become human...

boxy's nose: Agatha Macbeth licks boxy's nose

San (santoshima): ok, not prepared ...

San (santoshima): uhm, it's not a computer

boxy's nose: Storm Nordwind pokes boxy's nose

boxy (alfred.kelberry): i might. i think i have a good pair of skates stashed somewhere

 

San (santoshima): although does have a scripted projector

San (santoshima): the beginning is from a song" You live in the eye

  of those that pass by

  united in dream . . . "

  — Ferron, excerpt from lyrics, Light of My Light

San (santoshima): thinking about how

San (santoshima): one learns about oneself through reflection through meeting others

San (santoshima): how one comes to full humaness

San (santoshima): through that engagment
