Silence the Negative Voices in Your Head

– månedens bedste video, december 2020

 

My 2 bits:

Adding the elusiveness of LOVE to the equation: The inner critics are all PART of you, and as such not whole in themselves.

All of us know people, who are hard to love, because they are (all of the dis-qualities shown in the video) annoying as hell, when they let loose. But all life wants to live – strangely enough even abstract, inner thoughts of seemingly independant character chattering away…! Why not IN THE ONSET respect that desire to LIVE by looking at THAT as something needing YOUR help, rather than the other way round?

Head space – Jake Fried’s “The Deep End”

Animators, I salute you!

 

The Deep End from Jake Fried on Vimeo.
Materials: Ink, white-out and coffee on paper.

I had to watch it several times, one frame advanced at a time to properly see the iterations, & to avoid a beginning seasickness due to the slightly jarring images. Total effect is as Analog as it gets. I love it.

Watch more at his homebase, inkwood.net. But man, he is only just getting started! 😀

POEM: The Art Thing

the world ought to be / a safe place / the world / is never safe if / this is where this art thing / comes in / you have to make it safe / nobody cares how you do it / you just have to make it safe

THE ART THING

I never understood
what this art thing was about
having been raised among books
two three four decades old
written for children I thought
the world ought to be
a safe place
and then I realised the world
is never safe if you think it is
this is where this art thing
comes in
you see
you have to make it safe
nobody cares how you do it
you just have to make it safe
and it seems
art is a bit like a lottery
there is a prize
and you go for the prize
and if you win
people listen to you
and you make the world
a little bit safer
because they trust you
not because of what you say
but because they trust you
you won this prize you see?
its an okay system
except when
the prize is not really a prize
but a wall
to prevent you
from seeing the real prize
you and everyone else
which wont be about money
but something else
something everyone needs to see
but somebody wont let you
so you have to climb the wall
while pretending
to streeeeetch on tiptoes
to reach the prize
and quite possibly
you cannot win the prize
when you have told
what is on the other side of the wall
at least not for a while
as everyone gets used to
what is on the other side
and then
for a while you can relax
if you want
and stay on the ground
and just pick at the prize
like your neighbour’s apples
hanging over the fence
and its okay
for a while
and then they become boring
and all the same
this is where art begins
I now realise
you don’t actually have to
eat all the apples
if you don’t like apples
its just an example
