“Can I show you intimacy with just light? Is it possible to hold concern for a device like it were a child? Can thoughtful programming lead to intimacy through interaction?”

Uppmärksamhetsrobot (“Attention Robot”) explores how the most basic of sensations, touch and sight, can be programmed by a designer to elicit feelings of intimacy, worry, and attention.

Meditation is a short motion piece: an attempt at capturing anticipation, mystery, and subversion. The setting is “an unusual space underneath a familiar place.”

It was not shown at or submitted to any film festival; it is a school submission.

A Map of Reality

A map of reality is revealed to me “through an angel.”

More info soon.

Identification with your mind creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgments, and definitions that blocks all true relationship. It comes between you and yourself, between you and your fellow human, between you and nature, between you and the Universe. It is this screen of thought that creates the illusion of separateness, the illusion that there is you and a totally separate "other."
