Ibitsu said...: Glad you like this video too! She's amazing. I saw her in my home town last year, she was on with JoJo so it was pretty much like seeing Hijokaidan live. After them I saw Kan Mikami, who is another illusive artist and extraordinary. The night was ended by an exquisite performance by Diamanda Galas! I am not lying, that was all in one day! Can you believe it?!; 2:23 am
majena mafe said...: wowie zowie, shes great...thanks for introducing her to us on your site, what a day you had, seeing so much and in one day, you must have been buzzzing! I am now looking up these other gems you keep offering up...thank you, I've thought allot about your Heidegger post today, I posted a comment on it, I'm really coming from a practitioners place (playground) so I hope I did not offend...what would I know. I'm still trying to sort so much out...i guess the closed loops of the theory frames annoy me at times, make me feel theres not much room and i know there actually is ...'more than we are all thinking'. Thats a famous quote from my partners grandfather; 3:39 am
Ibitsu said...: Yeah, it was quite a night. No, didn't offend at all, thought your comment was great and right on the mark! Just because your from a practitioners background doesn't mean you can't get it, in fact it can work to your advantage.

With regards the theory, I guess it's only as closed as you make it. There are some great theories out there which if taken to literally are too restrictive but approach them with a bit of felixibility and they really open up. It's just a case of sharing and mixing ideas. I guess that's what I am doing on my blog. One just has to be willing to fall flat on your face.; 2:01 pm
majena mafe said...: yes i agree that opening of theories and disciplines is a rich way to make the new...getting bit fed up with critical theory in terms of practice, am finding crossing frames between, visual art, text/poetry, l=a=n=g=a=u=g=e etc, sound and theory is proving richer for me...still very interested in a collaboration one day though, so don't forget, maybe when you get quieter...are you on the writing up stage?? I'm sorry i cant remember. what do you think of my two latest film pieces? go well.; 12:35 am
Ibitsu said...: Yeah, would love to collaborate with you anytime! Your work is very exciting and would love to be a part of it in some way. Would be happy to try whatever you have in mind anytime soon, but I may only be able to do certain things due to work commitments. I am not quite at the stage of typing up but I have done a lot of research. In many ways though lots of it is already typed, as I am drawing together lots of ideas from my studies and essays from last year. So I won't be typing for a while yet but I have done a lot of the work. My thesis is due on the last day of August. So any ideas you have for collaborations let me know and I will see if I could give you the time you deserve.

As far as the videos I think they are great, I was just about to leave a comment on them. I particularly like 'how are you'! I saw that you mentioned you were thinking of projecting them on a huge screen, I think that would be very effective. Maybe consider, if you were to ever do an installation with them, projecting a bunch of them all at the same time. I think a room full of these images and sounds would be a great experience and quite disorientating. Just a thought though. Great work!; 1:34 am
majena mafe said...: 'mr ibitsu', thats a brilliant idea...! I'll credit you on the catalogue...(there you go, our first collaboration)

I'm off to bed to dream of it and plot further collaborative projects- across the ocean.; 3:25 am
Ibitsu said...: That's very kind of you! Our first collaboration, that's great! Although I feel you give me too much credit.

Anyway, look forward to more of your work and any chance of working on some ideas. I have a few myself and will try and email soon when I have them more formed.; 5:17 am
