I am going to write down ideas\/things to do in real time here, as they come to me:
\nVideo: two people, interesting-looking, hand and body gestures, actions, obvious performing in front of camera. Slow mo for contemplative effect. Influences: new Cat Power video, Tokyo Olympiad, Aaron’s man in the bush video, Stan B. masterpiece man climbing mountain.
\nAre there certain human activities, generally mundane, but when observed such as in film, that are very interesting, contemplative, and reveal a lot about a character. I just thought of Egoyan’s film Krapp’s Last Tape.
\nWhat are the connotations of spandex clothing? Cyclists, 80s, fat people on the beach, personal trainers, Richard Simmons? Downhill skiers? Athletics \/ fashion \/ technology?
\nPros and cons behind the concept of mandatory uniforms among institutions. What does it mean if I wear the same clothes everyday during second year?
\nElaborate on my philosophy: Put yourself in situations you can’t get of. Needs new wording, further thinking.
\nGraham mentions he does a lot of thinking lately. All sorts of thinking, and I don’t think it’s just about girls and being lonely or what to do with your life like most of us do. Do you know any thinkers?
\nExplore more of the Noise and Drone music genres. Influences: sunn0))), Brian Eno.
\nExplore more analog audio\/video methods.
\nWhat are the creative possibilites of the resume\/cv? Search examples.
\nTransportation: what interests me about it? Video of transportation methods. Influences: Charles and Ray Eames film Tops, Jon’s Tunnels video.
\nTruly better to have loved and lost? Statistical diagrams, infographics. Weigh evidence. Tongue-in-cheek. Influences: personal experience, Tufte, Ross’s bathroom water graphic installation.
\nThe border between cinicism, pastiche, cliches, sarcasm and geniune care, attention, love. Straddling this border.
\nPhoto project: pics of each new place I couch surf to. Dylan’s idea. I think.
\nExamples of what I currently (as of five minutes ago) call gorgeous automation. ex. Transit GPS announcing stops.
\nAdolescent graffiti by middle class males: pros and cons of tagging. Cheap and immature attempt at attention and self worth via the easy act of spray paint, plain old vandalism, or valid expression and sense of place?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
