“All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust.” J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
{this is not a post} One day I and two friends exchanged a conversation where we discussed the “probability” that we, humans, are a kind of immortal souls that can return to physicality and, as such, our age could be different from the bodies that host us. So, some could be “old” souls that are already around for sometime.
{a posteriori: Brain: the ultimate enactive interface?} Eshofuni@TheAbyss is a multidisciplinary project/performance embracing art, communication design and programming, that proposes an approach towards real-time representation of brain phenomena in performative art contexts using brain-computer interface. The Abyss is an ecologic system inhabited by entities and constituents with graphic and sonic forms — inspired by creatures that form the plankton phenomenon (e.g., zoids) — that interact between themselves and with Eshofuni qua performer ́s avatar.

{a priori: Eshō-funi} is a japanese Buddhist term: esho is a compound of shoho, meaning life or a living being, and eho, its environment. Funi, meaning “not two,” indicates oneness or non-duality.

At the most fundamental level of life itself, there is no separation between ourselves and the environment.

{this is not a post} In the last creative summer illustration workshop — Experimental Illustration — at Faculty of Engineering of Porto, an workshop by Jeanne Stern, one of the students group have directed and produced a very creative and successful stereo animation based on chromatic occlusion (anaglyph) through which they explored a kind of power-of-thinks and persons that could disappear…
Are the Glyphs meaningless?

Welcome to my insights on human phenomena… be them rational, emotional, visual, verbal, sonorous, explicit or implicit!
On this (re)new pages I will write —and I will transcribe texts I have been writing on the last 30 years— about how human species challenges my intelligence, definitely!
