what i'v been thinking about

i think maybe the film over bridge idea is a good one, i was thinking i could suspend sheets in the water at various depths and still allow movement of them that may distort the image. in the film memories of geisha there is this really beautiful scene of them washing sheets and the cloth is very long and sort of 'dances' in the stream.

so about habbitats. i should probably get on with the designs for the laser cutter and go find some moss. i really like the connection between incorrect designs and then the perfection of nature and how precise it is. the designs i have done remind me slightly of hybrids between insect and robot. reminds me or h.r.geiger.

humans perception of perfection. that view of 'what you must have' you must be a certain way to be at the top of the heirachy. which heir-achy i'm not sure, but there is a certain pressure to be a certain way and dress a certain way and buy a certain way, to have a certain type of home. where are these pressures coming form. 

traditional bad things: farting. swearing. debt. spitting. prostitution.

traditional good things: furniture. money. boyfriends. kids. home. holidays. 

i am just giving myself a list of unanswered questions. 

otherwise i have been thinking about having a collaboration with insects ha. this sounds crazy. maybe getting in contact with a course at leeds university that have labs and insects that could direct me on information and living conditions.

at the moment i think there is a large correlation between insects and the human race. we all busy around on the same paths and routines, but i think its just a complicated version of say the ants... collect the food, put the food back at home, feed the kids, repeat. we as a race have the same routine. i seem to be generalising alot. because there are alternative ways of living. 

we are already born into a life set out for us... if we are satisfied and ignorant enough we will go about our existence unchanged. 

Look!

Actually. don't bother. 

initial ideas:

• wear an ant mask and do daily domestic routines. 
• start an ant walk. advertising alternate ways of living. 

We are puppets
