DO ONE THING AT A TIME - will this ever be possible - if i lessen the time; then it is possible. with shifts between projects; next, next; back; revolve, evolve, around and round (again i am looking for a word... let me see... oscillations - thanks to suzana milevska - in her presentation at vienna technical university, she named things so well. and she stressed upon this word: OSCILLATIONS

Oscillation is the repetitive variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of equilibrium) or between two or more different states. Familiar examples include a swinging pendulum and AC power. The term vibration is sometimes used more narrowly to mean a mechanical oscillation but sometimes is used to be synonymous with "oscillation". Oscillations occur not only in physical systems but also in biological systems and in humansociety.)

Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss on “How to Work Better:

1. Do one thing at a time

2. Know the problem

3. Learn to listen

4. Learn to ask questions

5. Distinguish sense from nonsense

6. Accept change as inevitable

7. Admit mistakes

8. Say it simple

9. Be calm

so now i listen to her program online:)

she is a photographer and also a Dj. So, as soon as she tells me this İ think of Ayşe, the beautiful person. A Dj, A photographer, a human human, with irony and peace. I wanted to get some music from Ayse before coming here, but could not meet. So I tell this to Chilo and she tells me that I can listen to this play.fm. And she also tells me about femalepower...

so i need to email her about our performance evening...

and also i meet 2 writers. one from vienna. and the other from L.A. (she is jetlag of course.) and has a residency comin up now at new hampshire. and so chilo has won tickets to Mumok! which one is better tickets to mumok or a residency in new hampshire. well i guess i would not prefer the jetlag, right:))

anyways, so the writer is very nice. so apparently his book is in german, but there is a short story i can read... and then there is an architect - and he really builds houses by coopearting with the people, listeing to their needs. he syas that everybody wants something. maybe they are not aware but they want something... and while i am explaninhg my project, he really listens and tries to understand. (and as the way he understands it he links it with some form of anarchy... the misfit situations - uncontrolled - escaping the control or viewed as unimportant so goes by unnoticed.)

so the performance part is now under way , and the animation too. so i also want sound recordings and maybe video recordings... so, (kolları sıvadık yine:))

Dani also introduces me to a good pal from Georgia. and we end up talking about genocide issues. we conclude that we read more history and talk more... so these days are all about looking at issues on a universal scale - and on a local scale.... OSCILLATIONS as Suzanna Milevska beautifully puts it into words...

I am so grateful that we met with Dani and Eni. With Dani, and some of her friends, the feeling of the real is so high. As if there is an ancestorial kinship going on... or spomething like that. better not to spoil it by naming things...
