Random Mirror making
Some work in progress shots from Kutomo, two nights till the opening *__*
Some neighbor has been listening to a really fat bass beats all night.
I've been listening to:
Elite Gymnastics mix with Korean Pop and Industrial and an annoying name which is actually super good
Begena-sele gena by Alemu Aga... an Ethiopian Arthur Russell, pure beauty
Claudine Chirac - Nautilus
annnndddd a lot of basic Clipse and Kanye to boost.
I was also super happy to notice my favorite Finnish poet Henriikka tavi has a new blog: http://henriikkatavi.wordpress.com/
When I read her debut Esim. Esa first time in winter 2009 I had to immediately read it again, literally, the same night, and now I picked it up again a good two years after. I still like it a lot. Of course it's never like the first time and her second collection was a bit hard to get into but I'm really looking forward to what she publishes next. Kind of pointless writing about Finnish poets in English, oh well, good poetry doesn't happen all the time so it's ohhh kay.

How do birds see?
Yesterday a bird flew into our studio through the door.
We opened the two windows that could be opened but it didn't know how to get out. Our space is very high, we couldn't reach the bird and hush it out (no tall lightweight objects around). the bird was sitting on lamp chords like they were reeds sticking out of water.
Getting it out back through the door was out of question: we could have got it back into the corridor but the corridor has no windows that can be opened. If we got it out through the door through which it had entered, we should've first chased it first into the corridor, make sure it doesn't turn left towards the light, but down the stairs and then make it sure it doesn't fly towards the light coming in through the window in the stairs as it can not be opened either, but make sure it flies down the stairs, and then out of the front door. I'm pretty sure birds don't get the concept of "going down the stairs".
Luckily just as I had googled "How do birds see?", and seen this potentially helpful image
the bird flew out the open window.

Colorscape
There was weird light at my studio today.
I turned the folder around.
The color of the light got dimmer.
I tried a piece of moss,
then coal.
Moss and coal are nice but they don't really work here. I grabbed a red pencil box for some contrast,
then a roll of tape.
.After playing I realized what the photos reminded me of. The colorscape that was installed in Turku for the past few weeks. Inflated rooms in cel-like constellations where you could wander and sometimes hear music. It sounded nice but I was unable to go. Some friends went but didn't take the time to wait, there was always a long queue. A Facebook friend had taken photos there. Families smiling, posing and goofing around in flowing capes, it looked like utopian imagery from the sixties. Everything bathed in RGBs.
