Not an emulated brush

“Cool Channels”

This brush stroke, there are a few apps that do it, is wonderfully sketchy, not at all computery, and like nothing in rl. That’s what fascinates me with it. Note Nothing like it in real life, you can’t buy a paint brush to do this, it is not an emulation. The apps it comes with are primitive, but that is ok.

Manifestos

This websites is full of manifestos punk cyber anachist.

Collecting manifestos, better than stamps!

A bit from Hakim Bey

Manifesto of Poetic Terrorism:

Poetic Terrorism is an act in a Theater of Cruelty which has no stage, no rows of seats, no tickets & no walls. In order to work at all, Poetic Terrorism must categorically be divorced from all conventional structures for art consumption (galleries, publications, media). Even the guerrilla Situationist tactics of street theater are perhaps too well-known & expected now.

Seizing the moment or seizing the media

I looked again at a post from 2002, on the Immediast approach.

https://psyberspace.walterlogeman.com/2002/immediast/

It must be an obscure thing, there is not much on it that I can find, yet it is alive and well! In the search I came across Hakim Bey again, who was on the horizon in the Psyber-l days. I quoted him in my research on the archetypes of cyberspace.

He comes in with the word Immediatism. Related?

I think the first is about the media and the second about the here & now, but they are both political arty philosophies. I am making the note because I might want to get back to it.

I came across them again because the protests in the middle East are on my mind, and also how people power is needed to recover from this earthquake.

Role

Richard Bolstad & Annie Currie quote Antony Williams (Williams, A. The Passionate Technique Tavistock/Routledge, London, 1989) on role.  I have usually simply said thinking. feeling & action. 

NLP in Action – Transformations NLP:

In Psychodrama, a role is said to have five components: context, behaviour, belief, feeling, and consequences (Williams, 1989, p 58)

I still like the word thinking here, “the story I tell myself”

Context is needed, it gives the sense of a flow.

Consequences gives a sense of the role in flow. Reminds me of Marshall Rosenberg and deciding if a request was really a request or a demand. it depends on what happens when the request is refused, if threats follow etc then it was not really a request in the first place.

On the basis of that how about:

Components of a Role

  • Context
  • Action
  • Thinking (Belief)
  • Feeling
  • Consequences
