“Sinister Resonance begins with the premise that sound is haunting, a ghost, a presence whose location in space is ambiguous and whose existence in time is transitory. The intangibility of sound is uncanny–a phenomenal presence both in the head, at its point of source and all around–so never entirely distinct from auditory hallucinations. The close listener is like a medium who draws out substance from that which is not entirely there. Listening, after all, is always a form of eavesdropping.” Book review coming soon. Stay tuned.

In your opinion what effects can films have on society? What can a filmmaker do for society? He can do a lot. Entertain. Tell stories in such a way that the moviegoer is entertained and afterwards is no stupider; he can make various things clear to him or make him want to get various things straight for himself, he can express fears. For others. If no one does that we’d withdraw into the kind of silence in which sooner or later you become a moron. Film can give the moviegoer the courage to continue expressing things, taking a position on them, and making it known. I do feel that film as a medium can be effective in all sorts of ways. And it’s always…

All images in this post by Tracee Worley On Monday November 8, 2010, I did a series of tarot readings at Bar Olivino in Brooklyn. Here is how I advertised the event: Hello Friend, I’m doing some research for my project (http://archivingthecity.com/about) tonight, Monday Nov. 8 (7ish-11ish PM), at Olivino, a wine bar in Brooklyn. You are invited to participate, or just get a glass of wine, if you’re free. Here is the description of what I am doing: Tarot readings by Adeola Adeola, an artist, writer, and researcher, reads tarot cards for seekers who are after new ‘visionings.’ ’Visionings’ happen when the seeker and the reader focus together for a short time, and often yield stories and images that can work in a creative and healing…

This event took place last May, but there is a podcast which might be of interest to some of you researchers interested in thinking of alternative ways to present your work, and to think through the research process itself. There seems to be funding in Britain available from AHRC and the ESRC for research that takes creative forms, and that overlaps with curatorial and artistic practice. Some of the speakers on the panels have quite practical advice about how to go about getting such funding, and thinking through creative research practice.

Lev Manovich writes: People talk about “writing an article” or “working on the article.” (I hate the latter expression – why is playing with ideas referred to [as] “work”?) I am now using “rendering articles” instead. The analogy works well. Just as with 3D modeling, it can take a while to create the objects (ideas) and position them in a scene correctly (structure of a paper). But once this is done, the rest is just rendering. To make a wireframe (a summary of the ideas) is quick. But to develop these ideas in such a way that a reader can get them, add examples, refine the language etc can take a long time. FYI, when they were making the latest Toy Story…
