    lightness and darkness
    when the mind is asleep, but in dream, without the eyes to distract, you will be aware of more connections that symbolism and metaphor have.

    the creative pursuit is easier in these states - so capture your thoughts when in darkness.

    staring at a blank white piece of digital paper, on the screen vertically, is improper for fluid access to your uninhibited wonderings of your mind.

    best to capture while you are in bed - in the between realm of letting go, or on the impulse of becoming again.

    command + s can distract captures. don’t be distracted by the fear of non attachment.

    you are more productive when letting etiquette be on the outside, while your impression of good is fueling the drive. ++

    editing on the fly is another trait for loss of inspiration. mistakes and errors are best gained and examined on completion of your capture. distilling your unedited thoughts will allow you to pick up the meaning in between.

    once examined you may find the idea was not as powerful or thorough, as first thought.
    don’t be deterred, as reconstruction is needed for great ideas to become of use.

    perception of many ideas can be gathered into one stream, condensed and purified through your filter of hindsight and extrapolation.

    command + s, saved your thoughts. now action it tomorrow when your mind is fresh. time passing is patience being wise. filtering your impressions on thoughts compiled will let you define who you are and what you stand for.

    being satisfied on habit is static and necessary, while forcing pressure on the environment around you, to inspire your ethics is controversial … but necessary for awakening.

    team play is vital for compounded effort, doubling the factor of force by 2, but seeking comfort in it will decrease output by 2. remembering you are 1 left over, may keep you isolated for a while, but getting back on the throttle of enthusiasm with independent focus and drive, is the only true way forward.

    releasing cryptic seeds is meaning without form. allowing birth from unknowing recipients, is enlightenment waiting to happen. the power of potential will be realized by those that need it only.

    forcing compliance on the frame of the established is an unethical approach that is on the way out.

    letting go is the only way to really retrieve your passion before it’s lost.

    (from the depths of uncertain mumblings, do you uncover truth, waiting to be understood.)

    We are on both sides, feeling something powerful transcending the limits of time/space and the interfaced two dimensional world of being online.

    Our experiment is to experience the exact emotions, thoughts and sensations that are emerging within us as we tackle the confines of our own minds, while we interact with each other.

    Access will be denied over and over again, yet the reality of access being granted, is only in our persistence to unlock the powerful and hyperreal connections between us, where the existence of this obsession makes it physically real and tangible.




    Series and focus makes art.

    If you are at a certain stage of awareness and being, in this polytopian unfolding, the unbearable pace of physicality can be a bit painful (or maybe just different). Our minds may want to operate and solve ideas emerging before they even glimmer as raw data.

    Passion sets our bodies into autopilot, neglecting familiarities of a disconnected life, pushing our cohesive self further into a realm untouched, except for our own projections of it.

    At what stage do you fight to retain your fleeting self? You don't.
    Embrace this access to that which is further from tangibility, but more powerful than a bullet to the head. You are still alive ... even more so.

    Outside, we are here and you are there.
    It doesn't matter anymore. Let go and just be human.
    It's natural to contradict yourself. We always do and it's a good thing.
