Cat Boucher will be giving an exhibition of her work in Second Life some time in March. She showed me some of the pieces and I asked if it would be alright to post them. For this one it's ok since she has already posted it in Facebook.
I'm seeing a genie coming out of a bottle and beholding a world which makes no sense whatsoever. There's some force pushing her and she seems to make up her mind about what she will do.
Impressions, impressions.
I'll post again when I have details on the time / date for her exhibition. She's been a bit reticent about giving exhibitions, preferring to hold her focus on presenting music, so it's best to attend any exhibition she does give since it may be some while before she does it again.
Hang on as this next may seem convoluting at first.
The "Sphere" may be the most profound symbol of the World Trade Center buildings and it lives to this day. It was made by a German sculptor, Fritz Koenig, and the link will give some information about the sculpture but it's from 2012 and it's no longer true the Sphere is going away. (New York: Spherical Symbol of Resilience Is Going Away, but It’s Unclear Where)
The actual symbol was of peace and cooperation. While I have read that, I have further reason to know it as will become clear.
In turn, that led to a discussion of rubbish designs for skyscrapers and why not build them downward and safer since both were in solid agreement there's no way either of us would ever go inside a skyscraper in an earthquake zone. (Ithaka: The Next Step toward Making Skyscrapers Even Uglier)
Yeah, yeah, sure it's safe. Call me on my cell.
That next in turn was a discussion of man's, particularly American man's, will to force Nature to do whatever we want. I offered the crazy science about robo bees. (Ithaka: These Robos Aren't Coming ... the Robo Drone Bees)
That led to a discussion of how American horse breeders, at least some, use high-power field lights to illuminate the pastures with their Arabian mares because it, in effect, forces them into heat earlier which permits the breeder to sell the foals sooner. For this one, I offered how much climate change has affected the evolution of horses as I saw in a recent article. (Science Daily: Climate change responsible for the great diversity in horses)
Breeding Arabian horses is of great interest to Cat and doing it by natural means, just as with evolution, is important. Don't take that to mean she's some rich woman who sails around on her own private yacht. She's given enormously for her horses and her knowledge of them is spectacular.
And that's how she met Fritz Koenig ...
Ed: hold it just a minute! That doesn't tell me how she met him, only that she loves horses.
Fair enough, mate. It turns out Fritz Koenig loves Arabian horses as well and she met him at some type of horse show.
He's a cranky old geezer ... until you get to know him. He has some of his sculptures in a field on his farm and his horses run freely among them.
Hold onto to that image for just a minute and behold ... fark. Here's some of the most trippin' art and we don't get to see it.
Cat has been to his farm and she was visiting when an American was there who was drinking schnapps with Herr Koenig. Let me rephrase that, the wise guy American got himself into a schnapps drinking game with an old German.
Apparently Herr Koenig thought the situation was funny, sehr lustig, and he knew she could see he was playing but the American didn't and he wound up schnockered.
The Yank was so looped he couldn't drive his car so, guess what, Cat gets to drive him home and, all the while, he was wailing ..... oooohhh, I think I'm getting sick.
Tip: do not say that while riding in Cat's Porsche. Bad idea.
She did get him to wherever he was staying and with her car unscathed so that was how Cat got to know more of his art and learned of Herr Koenig's sense of humor.
It's an artist thing, man, tap, tap, tap.
Note: the weapon is loaded and cocked. The first one who says it's a small world takes a round.
Ed: you just did!
(Bang)
