Dave Brubeck’s “Unsquare Dance”
Is it only me, or does the backdrop and female costume feel very Dr Seuss-inspired?

“The world that inspires me to move my thoughts is the world inside me. The body becomes like a home which functions as container of memories and the living organism. The system inside the psychological body that changes all the time has enriched my idea to develop new structures of attitude and thoughts. I try to perceive my surroundings as the fact of the real presence of now, but considering the path of its history.
I try to understand the language that are not spoken, and opens the door of perceptions. I respect the freedom in our minds to perceive things coming through our individual sensory register system.
Crossing the boundaries of cultural and political encounters has been a challenge that stimulates me discovering new identification. An effort to find identity is yet a dangerous act of losing the ground of origin. For me, the process of making artwork is a life long research that never stops me to put myself inside the metamorphic constellation.I intend to touch the fluid border between the body and its environment through my art works. I aim to create a concentrated level of intensity without the use of narrative structures. Talking about politics, society or psychology makes no sense to me if the nerves are not able to digest the information. I love it when a performance reaches a level of factual absurdity.”

“Astronaut asking for wishes from a horse genie” - The finest stock photograph in the world.
The photographer must have had such high hopes of making his million when he set this up. I was actually searching for “astronaut with horse dressed as a genie in an alleyway” but I can’t possibly use this image - the dumpster is the wrong shade of green.
“Years”. A record player that plays slices of wood. Year ring data is translated into music, 2011.
A tree’s year rings are analysed for their strength, thickness and rate of growth. This data serves as basis for a generative process that outputs piano music based on the year ring data. Those are analyzed for their thickness and growth rate and are then mapped to a scale which is again defined by the overall appeareance of the wood (ranging from dark to light and from strong texture to light texture).
