thoughts:
1) i scanned through
the videos/films, i pick images according to personal taste...
2) i started my automatic writing... i recalled what i have seen, there are
certain parts/items that triggers...
3) how can automatic writing enhance my awareness? and lead to possible artistic
control??
4) i put some images together to make a sequence...selecting images from the
time span...collapsing with actions in time...
5) how dominant is my personal taste?
6) how can i give the audience a glimpse of the artists? is it important?
7) i re-scanned the videos/films, i did some counting...
8) maybe i can establish statements about the relativity of the "things"
collected in these artists...
9) how is it important? Sadie Benning got her face appeared in front of the
camera, she likes filming close-up of her eyes, is this her style? what do these
represent? is this a kind of textual poaching?
10) how does this "personal taste" of the artists reflect upon? how
does this "personal taste" related to my personal taste?
11) it's like giving more clues what i like them? it's like speaking for the
unconsciousness?? how could i possibly establish by position through them/their
qualities? by "things"?
12)
what is the flow of the process?
=== author/artist--> "i" as spectator --> "i" as artist/author
--> "spectators" as "interpreter" --> "spectators"
as "makers" --> "spectators" as "artists" ??
=== what responsibility does the "process" uphold?
13) how did the reproduction and transformation take place? a "performance"
of stages occurs?
=== how do the parts dissolve as the whole? how do the parts merge as the whole?
=== the whole is a part? the part is the whole?

a bit of counting:
SADIE BENNING,
i start to know her as someone, a girl probably.

equilateral hexagonal linkages_patterns between "X"_Sadie Benning+Su
Friedrich+Chantal Akerman+Yvonne Rainer+Roni Horn:
e.g.: animal category_the distribution of their images containing animals
mode 1 variables(animals) alternate--> same pattern, no change
mode
2 instances("X")
alternate--> same pattern (forms the radius), circulates along the circumference
.................................................................................................................
radar graphs --> i selected radar graphs to present the patterns to lead me to something else:
.................................................................................................................
"things"--> no one knows why i just simply like the "cups, teapots, sofa...", "things" just pops onto the screen and into my mind, "things" that belongs to "someone", but not "meanings":
bed, sofa, sugar mug, cup, bottle, sink, bathtub, tiles, window sill, cupboard, bookshelf, jar, TV, radio, chair, plate, smoking tray, glass, table, tap, mirror, gas stove, lamp, wardrobe, washing machine, saucepan, typewriter, phone...things i ONLY like when they appear in "X" ...

images collected earlier are extracted/defamiliarized to more basic graphic/visual
elements, waiting to become a visual landscape of wave forms:
nodes--dots--notes--waveform--soundwaves--
