When the walls of Falcon’s Maze have been mapped with cynicism.

Sort of an Alchemist Code of Paintings and Ideas:
this is an interesting interoduction to the codes often passed in artistic expression.. or, an appreciation of sheer imagination.
The Art of Motion: Motion as Artistic Expression is much more than simply how you walk into a room.
The art of motion is a concept many don’t think of.. For me, motion is a high construct of art. When I practice Taijiquan, I am honoring that art as well as the ancestors of internal martial arts. As I link that to my physical location, it is almost as the way of an omnyoji communing with the ancinets of the land… There is also a science to movement… even in physical therapy there is a branch of medicine called kenestesiology… it is the science of motion and health… Quite a ride on the slipstreams if one dares to ride it.
Digital Art Tours for those who may never walk the streets of European Cities or Cities of Other Countries may be a worthwhile.. I’d say they are worth the time.
The visual arts have something to them that every other art misses…
For those who know and to inform those who don’t: Classic American Western Movies and even Spaghetti Western Movies, often used the Relationship of; Form, Individual, and Scene That were created and established By Directors of The Samurai Movie Genre… Even some scripts were Direct re-writings of Samurai Dramas Filmed 1-2 decades before. Interesting, Yes?
I have watched Samurai and Kung Fu movies often. The cinematography alone is worth it. Once one really watches, its easy to see that american film is whitted, but often times artless.
Such a Beautiful Art Form and Method. Well worth viewing.
I like ancient arts from other countries. To me its much like fairytale and beauty except having the complete magic and mystery that only the foreign can supply. I am a multiculturalist to the very core of my being. Sometimes I think the only resentment that I have for my home land, is due only because I have not yet been able to leave that land and because they never seem to have people as interested in the arts as me… its always some sort of reality show drama to them. Cheers to the Ancient Arts of China.
I like to look at the mudane in art.. not the supersitions or the myths…
They cover a lot of good ground in why we should study past art… how about past systems? artifacts, iconographies, even opinions and religions can be found in past arts… we can also study the who owned and who contracted the artist and the work being viewed.. a little twitr joke would be what artist could have a “State affiliated media” tag on them… reliable? codes? reward and punishment even technologies and innovations and forgotten methods… they are all found in past arts.
Museum of the Future.. Epcott Center in the U.S. was once such a place..
The place looks incredible.. a very calming space.
The physical arts, the perfoming arts, the con…
Nominated for the Academy Award.. however it did not win.. A clssic movie; Pitt, Norton, Meatloaf.. and Bonham-Carter
This looks really interesting.
This is interesting, its sort of a spot devoted to the Mechanical Arts and the Art of the Engineer… and yet something else to others.
Idk.. same as all the other ethnographies that I publish on this site.. sort of a trashy, yet inquisitive moment of zen mood here for all the NASA citing environmentalists.. in my opinion anyway.. “why solve, when you can get paid to study postulate and invent crazy technologies with big prices tags to that will help you to study and postulate…and offer tours and souvenirs.. right?”
Taoism and Shinto, in themselves, are like Arts of Living and Movement…
Low tech often means lowest impact.. and yet low tech also often means obsolete and often un-refined.. These buildings, and Shrines.. they have a refined character we never really get to see in the Western World.. not in our best Malls, or Cities, do we find such art. although, sure… a museum or two may have a couple of rooms devoted to a visiting exhibition.
An intersting Movie I have recently seen was called Bunraku.. The film used such methodology and scenic impressions. I’d encourage watching the movie..
I remember seeing this sort of thing a few times, during every decade of life.. maybe worth seeing.. remembering the minds eye of our youth.. a time thats the unseen often lay concealed in silouette.. in mystical guessing.. Let’s broaden our perspectives..
An art of Sound and Style… as out of date as it was.. in some ways the sound is almost refreshing…. depending on the mood.
The soft yet rebellious sounds.. In a way that is the exact truth of this.. Think about it in another way, It’s like the exotics of global culture.. Even though the video has a sort of classism about it, exotics and foreign sense-abilities are simmering with all the appeal of maybe a seafood dish with simmered butter..
On the Other Side of Sound… and the Other Side of Style… and the complete understanding of, well… the air kind of stinks, and it isn’t quite due to us smokers.. it’s more due to the “Family Fresh” folks.. the “Owners, the Bosses, and the Middle Managers” beleive it or not, we can smell your cities and your farms hundreds of miles away.
When we talk about who’s shit don’t stink.. I used to say, “Oh, you think my cigarettes smell bad.. Shit, you should smell all the toxic shit you non smokers buy and build. All that chemical Flushes, all that chemical cologne and pharomones, and your V8 engines and shit… I don’t buy any of that stuff, your stuff is far worse than a pack a day habit. We have wars for oil, yet no wars for tobacco.. what can I say, that was a long time ago to some. “
My understanding of Political Post Modernism is something like… Just because its the way today doesn’t mean its correct… Some people don’t like that.. they say, “Don’t judge the past by today’s values…” Idk, I think that slaves knew slavery wasn’t correct… so why not judge the slave masters of yesterday? anyway, whatever.. my first understandings of post modernism were really based in Art and Music… so what was Post Modernism There?
Post Modern Art… I went to the university from 2012-2015, I was studying art, but mostly social sciences, Urban Development, Societal Issues and those sorts of class of thought classes, as well as advanced Environmental Studies that I was linking to Urban Development.. The Ethics of the University was that Post Modernism was a lie, was quite a shit show in my mind.. Anyway, this is post modernism in art.. why not catch a glimpse.. No-one follows Post Modern Art now. Why was it swept under?
Digital History While it Lasts… rumor is they started gathering and preserving as far back as 1984… you know back when telenet was real young… don’t beleive me about there being an early internet? Keep looking, I know I’ve made posts about it somewhere here at PompPress..
The Gathering and Preserving of Internet Data Bases.. In some ways this could be considered a scary venture.. In other ways, how interesting it would be to view old pages from the 1990s. Angelfire, Geocities, the old days of America on Line and the Excite web servers.. How interesting.
Very Strange and Bizarre Movie… where’s an Onmyoji when you need one?
Very Interesting Movie.. I think it was based on an old Manga or Anime movie.. although those could have been based on this film. Strange, Exotic, Elements of Shinto and Omyoji. I encourage you to watch.
Glass Arts have come a long way…
A look at Glass Making. Imagine all of the Glass Makers before the day of Plastics. Of course there were also industrial manufacturing glass plants too. The tools were primitive, so it would seem much more polluting, However, the “Clean” glass plants now, how much machine and energy to create the tools of the “clean” glass of today?
I’d really like to travel to China, Japan, and Korea to view their libraries and their ancient places of learning.. maybe even a Manga Bar.
Take a look at this…
And the Americans think the U.S. is advanced.
Japan and China seem like the kind of places that can hold pilgrimage routes for tourist using foot paths and bike trails… It would be rather neat and maybe quite a thing… if Europe maintained or created something similar. So many Cathedrals and Wineries…
As the Western World has to realize.. many of the global issues we face are of their own creation. It may well be time to look at the Vaults or the Documents of the countries that were destroyed or subjugated by the west. Countries who were carved up into “Spheres of Influence”. The answers will often be found in their societies.
