Amon Tobin’s first release since 2007’s Foley Room, ISAM is more than a simple album. In collaboration with Saatchi artist Tessa Farmer it is an installation, audio/visual show, artbook, film and photography. Very excited for this.

words like foam on the waves: Sisyphus & Co. →
My eyes are closed against this little room so far from you, lips parted just slightly waiting for your marzipan kiss or some candyfloss word struggling through that slow caramel smile—but here, bitter almond in my mouth tastes like wet ashes left behind, remnants of my attempt to set in you any kind of fire. ~Grace O’Malley Note: It’s the final stanza that blows my mind. I...

ataxiwardance: wordpainting: 27. Harold Bloom on J.K. Rowling (2000) “How to read ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’? Why, very quickly, to begin with, and perhaps also to make an end. Why read it? Presumably, if you cannot be persuaded to read anything better, Rowling will have to do.” 26. Vladimir Nabokov on Fyodor Dostoevsky “Dostoevky’s lack of taste, his monotonous dealings...

l3fan-o-rama: Which is the whole idea: Subtle shortcuts are the very stuff of perceptual intuition. With practice, neurons in the visual cortex and elsewhere specialize to identify these signature patterns, and finding them frees up mental resources for deductive reasoning, to check answers or to move on to harder problems. Such perceptual intuition isn’t cheating — it’s what the big-shot...

Unfriended on last.fm! That’s never happened before. Why does this bother me? I don’t even know who that person could have been.  Thank you, social media, for these occasional school-ground rejection flares. ::sigh::

Misattribution of Arousal « You Are Not So Smart →
The Misconception: You always know why you feel the way you feel. The Truth: You can experience emotional states without knowing why, even if you believe you can pinpoint the source. Source: capbridge.com The bridge is still in British Columbia, still long and scary, still sagging across the Capilano Canyon daring people to traverse it. If you were to place the Statue of Liberty underneath...

forever insatiable: Hey, Milwaukee Female Tumblrs! →
forever-insatiable: I want to plan a girls-only meet-up this September to meet some fellow Milwaukee Tumblrs IRL. No offense to the guys in MKE, but I’m kind of over that whole gender for a while. Milwaukee has received some new people in the past year, and I know that two more great females will be joining us in… You can add metaconscious ashe Anybody I forgot?
