Luminous Field - Luftwerk

This February I have the honor and pleasure of collaborating with both Luftwerk and Collaboraction on a light and sound installation titled "Luminous Field." It is commissioned by Chicago's office of Tourism and Culture, and runs until 20 Feb 2012 at Cloud Gate (aka "The Bean"). 

This video features clips of some of my improvography at the test run of "Luminous Field" at AV Chicago. The full performance features 9 Collaboraction dancers interacting with the projections, and can be seen live at Cloud Gate on Friday 17 Feb 2012, from 6pm to 10.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

For those of us who don't already set personal...


For those of us who don't already set personal goals on a regular basis - more regularly than once a year, anyway - Sancho and I wish you faith and fortitude in your resolutions on this rather superfluously symbolic occasion, the gregorian New Years Eve. May we all come together in warmth as friends and family to celebrate our selves and our relationships more than once in 2012. The illusions of time and money are powerless against what we truly wish and act to become. I make a resolution every time I wake up to love my foibles and challenge my talents; to make the best of every obstacle and share that success with at least one other human life by the time I return to sleep. I love each of you for the part you've played in my sliver of this weird, wild thing called "Life." We're all in this together. Cheers to us.


The Warmth

"I'd like to close my eyes and go numb but there's a cold wind coming from the top of the highest high-rise today.

It's not a breeze 'cause it blows hard Yes and it wants me to discard the humanity I know, watch the warmth blow away.

Do you think I should adhere to that pressing new frontier? and leave in my wake a trail of fear(?)

Or should I hold my head up high and throw a wrench in spokes by leaving the air behind me clear?

Don't let the world bring you down Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold.

Remember why you came and while you're alive experience the warmth before you grow old"

youtube.com - a breeze 'cause it blows hard. It said it wants me to discard the humanity, I now watch the warmth blow away. So don't let the world bring ...

Leg one of vacation December 2011 just about wrapped up. Manitou, Colorado was incredible-there's an abundance of love happening there. Now I'm awaiting my delayed flight out of Denver, off to leg 2 with the family in Kansas city!

Duality

"Duality" (the balance of Life) has been popping up in my Life's 'stream' quite a lot lately; and by no coincidence either, I feel. Is our world balancing itself, or is it the opposite: Is our world so far out of balance that it is a matter too impressing to ignore, forcing us to look for the rainbow through the rainfall? It's no secret that Duality exists universally - on the macro scale, micro scale and everywhere in between - but it's fascinating to me that we all realize this balancing force differently in our individual perspectives. This inspires me to ask:

What does "Duality" mean to you? Do you notice it often, and In what ways? How does it make you feel when you sense it?

To me, duality is motion. Perspective is dependent on duality. It is contrast, conflict, and conclusion. I see it on the train. I hear it on the street. I feel it as I drift to sleep.

Sure I've made treasure of another persons trash. I do frequently. I also judge a person through observing them, and then discover the other side in conversation with them. I shake off the bitter winter and thank it for giving me reason to love summer.

I close my eyes and feel as though I am stationary and everywhere at once. Duality gives me purpose.

I am curious about others though, I want to know how you feel about Duality. Is it woo-woo bullshit for new age hippies; or, is it the driving force in your life?

eh?

Never stop moving,
Nathanael
