Post 8: Flicker/Oscillate

This section will be used to record thoughts on the issue of Flickering and Oscillation in the project.

First thoughts:

There are a number of flickers/oscillations:

1: Slide projector.
2: Repeating echo.
3: Between nominee and recipient.
4: Between agent and attendant.
5: Presence/absence of attendants.
6: Presence absence of the Sponsors.

These constitute one of the rhythms of the piece that moves across the triptych, just as the Monstrous/Parasitic does.

Te following is a really lovely quote, however I do not accept its premise, at least not for our world, but maybe the world of the piece:


Being is not a steady state but an occulting one: we are all of us a succession of stillnesses blurring into motion on the wheel of action, and it is those spaces of black between the the pictures that we find the heart of the mystery in which we are never allowed to rest. (Fremder by Russell Hoban 8-9)
