Voodle Promenade Videos

This is a history without historical clarity: cause and effect gives rise to illustration without reference. The footage ‘describe’ the journey, but in its description time has been flattened. The "event" is rendered as a single moment, the voodle existing as something between seismographic readings and the gestural...The camera moves across the floor: it no longer knows what will happen, and the hand that holds it has disappeared.” Walking the line, full corridor length, Sam Renseiw assembled a diptych of recorded footage obtained from two distinct places. The first one a haven of peace, the second one a kaleidoscopic fragment of a much larger entity, confined to a rolling, corridor-like setting, inserted in a modern nave.

Not that I pretend to have done so. It requires a great deal of fortitude to try to set up one's abode in these distant regions where everything seems at first to be so awkward and difficult, all the more so if one wants to try to take someone there. Besides, one is never sure of really being there. If one is going to all that trouble, one might as well stop off somewhere else. Be that as it may, the fact is that the way to these regions is clearly marked, and that to attain the true goal is now merely a matter of the travelers' ability to endure.." Just passing by, actually, while visiting an extensive and overwhelming display of Ernst and then: serendipitously stumbling upon parts of the garden not yet explored, kept Renseiw musing while capturing footage to be shared and analysed.

By the power of Voodling, the natural image of a world that we neither know nor can know, urbanity at last does more than imitate art: she imitates the Voodler." Endorsing Bazin's preferences for the authenticity of the long take, Sam Renseiw proceeded to walk the line in Oslo this Monday: While the actual purpose of the visit failed to come to terms, a fine moment of reality remains recorded from that day... Dean can, after all mean so many things...James Dean crashed straight on, while Sam keeps on Voodling without a cause, not taking charge of any administration.

click for video: Quicktime / .mp4 for iPod/iPhone / Direct streaming for PC " The general absence of characters in [Patalab's] Voodles reflects but one part of the ongoing research into a visual morphology of body and space. On one hand, the main concerns centre around efforts to depict more realistic points of views in the recording of movements through space(s); On the other, there are the continuous attempts to establish feeble visual languages devoid of the "talking-heads-in-frames" as conforming to TV and Hollywood standard scenario of story telling. The actual meaning in voodling remains in the factual flow of images, conveying a possible haptic massage with the overlay and inclusion of non-diegetic soundtracks. Basically, Voodles remain a poetics of spontaneously crafted visual antidotes, camouflaged as meaningless placebo video" Conscious of the apparent futility of the whole voodling endeavour in the midst of the flooding of moving imagery in the web, Sam Renseiw stubbornly maintains a level of consistent ongoing research with the regularity of the postings. After almost five years of activity, the endeavour nevertheless takes its toll in the midst of the present crisis.

The first, more descriptive in nature, has concerned certain ways of voodling that were selected according to their value for the strategy of the analysis, and with a view to obtaining fairly differentiated variants: 'pataphysical practices, practices related to urban spaces, utilizations of everyday rituals, re-uses and functions of the memory through the "medias" that make possible (or permit) everyday practices, etc. In addition, other investigations have tried to trace the intricate forms of the operations proper to the recompositon of spaces by familial practices, on the one hand, and on the other, to the tactics of the art of voodling, which simultaneously organizes a network of relations, poetic ways of "making do" (bricolage), and a re-use of everyday structures." Reflecting on the nature of fluid interfaces in everyday life, Sam Renseiw pondered on the question of the development of a sixth sense's in future voodling. Passing reflecting puddles, various navigation vehicles and even crossing a fluid gap, Sam captured formal structures the old fashioned way.

click for video: Quicktime / Flash / direct streaming for PC "If we could analyze impressions and images of voodle, or what voodling contributes to an image, we should soon enter into a region of the purest sort of phenomenology a phenomenology without phenomena; or, stated less paradoxically, one that, in order to know the productive flow of images, need not wait for the phenomena of the imagination to take form and become stabilized in completed images. In other words, since voodle is not an object, a phenomenology of voodling would refer us directly to our imagining consciousness. In analyzing images of voodles we should realize within ourselves the pure being of pure imagination. It then becomes clear that works of art are the byproducts of this existentialism of the imagining being. In this direction of daydreams in voodling, the real product is consciousness of enlargement." Daydreaming on a day-trip to Lund, Sam Renseiw nevertheless followed the train of thoughts into sketchy atempts at uplifting activities.

On his return to the capital he stopped at Muro. While there he seemed about to die from a derangement of the spirit. Half the hair on his head turned as white as snow. Thinking this was something supernatural, he sought the help of a shaman. Speaking through this woman, the god of the Kibitsu Shrine said, "Although you frequently pass through this area, you never play your music for me. Therefore you are suffering in this way." Gensho quickly paid a visit to that shrine, and as he played the tunes secret to all but the emperor, his white hair returned to its normal color. One must say that he was a wonderful credit to his calling." Flooded in footage, aware of kami and other influences, Sam Renseiw concocted a short tripthyc vodle from a visit to the Kiyomizu - dera Temple and adjacent shrines.

As a common prerequisite for the transformation, the fox must place reeds, a broad leaf, or a skull over its head. Common forms assumed by kitsune include beautiful women, young girls, or elderly men. These shapes are not limited by the fox's age or gender, and a kitsune can duplicate the appearance of a specific person. Foxes are particularly renowned for impersonating beautiful women. Common belief in medieval Japan was that any woman encountered alone, especially at dusk or night, could be a fox." Paying homage to the local Inari, Sam Renseiw visited some Kitsunes at Fujimi.

This complex world exacts/Hard work of simplifying; to get its focus/You have to stand outside the crowd and causus."

There is no such thing as observation of the inner world, as there is of the outer world...The experience of life consists of the experience which the spirit has of itself in matter and as matter, in mind and as mind, in emotion, as emotion,[in voodle and as voodle], etc." Not really the Castle, just a row of facades and fine spaces gliding by, muses Sam Renseiw, capturing footage on a casual urban walk.
