Who's in Charge Here?
==================

It happened
and happens now as before
and will keep happening
if nothing happens against it

The innocents know nothing
because they're too innocent
and the guilty ones know nothing
because they're too guilty

The poor don't notice
because they're too poor
and the rich don't notice it
because they're too rich

The stupid ones shrug their shoulders
because they're too stupid
and the smart ones shrug their shoulders
because they're too smart

To young ones it doesn't matter
because they're too young
and to old ones it doesn't matter
because they're too old

This is why nothing happens against it
and this is why it happened
and happens as before
and will always keep happening

Eric Fried




It Is What It Is
============

It is madness
says reason
It is what it is
says love

It is unhappiness
says caution
It is nothing but pain
says fear
It has no future
says insight
It is what it is
says love

It is ridiculous
says pride
It is foolish
says caution
It is impossible
says experience
It is what it is
says love.

Wolpertinger

The Wolpertinger (Crisensus bavaricus) is a fictional animal said to inhabit the alpine forests of Bavaria in Germany. It has body parts of various animals — generally wings, antlers, and fangs, all attached to the body of a small mammal. The most widespread description is that of a horned rabbit or a horned squirrel. It is similar to the Rasselbock of the Thuringian Forest, the Elwedritsche of the Palatinate region, which is described as a chicken-like creature with antlers, and to the American invention of the jackalope, as well as to the Swedish Skvader.

The Wolpertinger is not a typical cryptid, as local people probably never believed in its existence.

Mysteries Art Quotes

We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through fabric of illusion. Many refuse to admit it: I feel a mystery exists. There are certain times, when, as on the whisper of the wind, there comes a clear and quiet realization that there is indeed a presence in the world, a nonhuman entity that is not necessarily inhuman. (Ansel Adams)

Le krach actuel représente l'accident intégral par excellence

Paul Virilo interviewed by Gerard Courtois and Michel Guerrin.

original article (in French) in le Monde at: http://tinyurl.com/57a3hb

For thirty years now, the philospher Paul Virilio analyses the
catastrophe as the unavoidable consequence of technological progress.
He sees in the current financial crisis the most accomplished example
of his theory, a catastrophe where the victims do not actually die,
but lose the roof above their heads by the thousands.

Gerard Courtois/Michel Guerrin: In 2002 you have produced an
exhibition at the Maison Cartier under the title "Ce qui
arrive" ('that what occurs' ['Unknown quantity', in its official
english title]); It was about the accident in contemporary history:
Tchernobyl, 9-11, the Tsunami... A statement by Hannah Arendt was the
marker of your demonstration: "progress and catastrophe are the two
faces of the same coin". Is this where we have come to with the
'crash of the stock exchange'?

Paul Virilio: Well, of course. In 1979, at the time of the mishap at
the Three Mile Island nuclear plant in the U.S., I did mention the
occurrence of an "original accident" - the kind of accident we bring
forth ourselves. I said that our technical prowess was pregnant of
catastrophic promises. In the past, accidents were local affairs.
With Tchernobyl, we have entered the era of global accidents, whose
consequences are in the realm of the long term. The current crash
represents the perfect 'integral accident'.
Its effect ripple far and wide, and it incorporates the
representation of all other accidents. For thirty years now, the
phenomenon of History accelerating has been negated, together with
the fact that this acceleration has been the prime mover of the
proliferation of major accidents. Freud said it, speaking of death:
"accumulation snuffs out the perception of contingency". Contingency
is the key word here. These accidents are not contigent occurences.
For the time being, the prevalent opinion is that researching the
crash of the stock exchange as a political and economic issue and in
terms of its social consequences is adequate enough. But it is
impossible to understand what is going on if one does not implement a
(policy based on the) political economy of speed, the speed that
technological progress engenders, and if one does not link (this
policy) to the 'accidental' character of History. Let's take just one
example: the dictum "time is money". I add to this, and the stock
exchange testify to it: "speed is power". We have moved from the
stage of the acceleration of History to that of the acceleration of
the Real. This is what 'the progress' is: a consensual sacrifice.

GC/MG: So accidents are too little researched?

PV: The dominant form of writing about History limits itself to the
study of facts as seen in the light of the long term. Contrarywise, I
advocate a study of History based exlusively on ruptures. (French)
Historian Francois Hartog calls the dominant paradigm "presentism".
We must go further. Our paradigm should be "instantaneism". In order
to study accidents, one of course must research them, but also
'expose' them. The accident is 'invented', it a work of creation. Who
could be more apt than artists to make feel the tragic dimention of
human development (progress)? That was the intent behind the "ce qui
arrive" exhibition - where, by the way, I did mention a stock
exchange crash. It stood for the museum, or the observatory, of major
accidents that I'd like to see coming about some day. Not in order to
instill fear, but to make us face up.

GC/MG: But then, how would you define the crash of the stock
exchange, over and beyond its surprise element?

PV: Like with any contemporary event, it is essential to take into
account the integration in synchronous time of various issues at the
world-level. A synchronisation has taken place of customs, habits,
mores, ways to react to things, and also, of emotions. We have left
the era of class-based communitarism for that of instant and
simultaneous globalisation of affects and fears - but not longer of
opinions. It was already the case with the attacks on the World Trade
Center and with the Tsunami. The same happens now with the financial
crash. After a short 'technical' phase - bank collapses, shares fall-
out - kicks in a phase of 'hystery-isation' of responses. There is
talk of "markets going mad", of "irrational" reactions, you'd almost
call it 'end of the world craze'. Terrorists have very well
understood this mechanism, and they make use of it.

GC/MG Do you, like some people do, believe that capitalism is nearing
its end?

PV: I rather believe that the end is nearing capitalism. My field is
urban studies. This crisis shows that the Earth is not large enough
for progress, for the speed of History (as we have it). Hence
repetitive accidents. We were living in the belief that we had both a
past and a future. But 'the past does not pass', it has become a
monster, so much so that we do not mention it anymore. And as far as
the future is concerned, it is severely questioned by the issue of
the environment, and the end of natural resources like oil. So the
only place left for us to inhabit is the present. But the writer
Octavio Paz said it before: "you cannot live in the present moment,
just as you cannot live in the future". It is exactly what all of us
are now going through, and that includes the bankers.

GC/MG: But did not the financial world bring about (invent) a virtual
world?

PV: Since speed earns money, the financial sphere has attempted to
enforce the value of time above the value of space. But the virtual
is also part and parcel of reality. And to be frank with you, this so-
called virtual world, in which one can also include tax-heavens, is a
form of exotism, which I tend to equate with colonialism. It is the
(recurrent) myth of another livable planet.

GC/MG: As opposed to other accidents, the crash of the stock exchange
remains something of an enigma to the public at large. Is this bad?

PV: Well, one does not understand the fine points, but one can guess,
and that is enough. One must guess (about) what occurs. Not being
able to understand naturally reinforces fear. But, at the same time,
we do not longer have the time left to experience fear. What is
really disturbing is the rise of a 'civil deterrence' of sorts, which
is individual and intimate, and which permeates all aspects of life.
We are being deterred to do this or that as individuals. Ever since
9-11 we have been affected by a 'civil fear', and the
industrialisation of the accident is its root cause. So, in order to
study the impact of collisions, car makers stage 'test crashes'. The
crash of the stock exchange is such a test crash - but at the real
level. Even the break-up of relationships has been industrialised.
One could even introduce some mechanism of quotes for divorces,
risking hereby to show that the traditional couple and family has
become an illusion.

GC/MG: Could one also speak of a morality of the stock exchange
crash, in the sence that also those who were making fortunes get
blasted?

PV: I am not a vigilante. I do empathise with critics who say that
some people have made obscene profits. I do not deny the damage
caused by the accumulation of riches in a few hands. But to merely
criticise this acceleration of profits and History, this "galloping
avarice", as Eugene Sue called it, while remaining in the materialist
framework of profit, is a deficient, reductionist analysis. What is
happening is much more complex, and profoundly disturbing. We have
gone into someting of a different nature. This economy of wealth has
become an economy of speed. By the way, this is the problem the Left
is currently facing. The Left is stuck in its old framework, states
that capitalism is dead, and now thinks that more social justice is
to come about. This is a bit hasty a deduction. We do really have a
major problem on our plates... If the state does not take stock of
this 'futurism of the moment', we might well see instead a capitalism
running riot without bounds whatsoever.

GC/MG: You wrote once "By designing a 800 passengers plane, the firm
Airbus has simultaneously created 800 potential casualties". But till
now, the crash of the stock exchange did not kill anyone...

PV: The crash is not the Black Death, there haven't been millions of
victims, and it's not the 11th of September either. We are not
talking death here, save maybe a few suicides. The victims are
somewhere else to be found. Where did the current crisis stem from?
the answer is: subprime mortgages; housing credit that proved
unsustainable; land. The victims are the hundred of thousands of
people who are going to lose their homes. The whole concept of
sedentarism had already been challenged by immigrants, exiles,
deportations, refugees - and the delocalisation of economic
activities. This phenomenon is bound to increase. Till 2040, one
billion people will have to move out from their residence. Those are
the victims. We are in the realm of "stop/eject". People are
arrested, get expelled.

GC/MG: You believe in chaos?

PV: Having destabilized the financial system, the stock exchange
crash might well destabilise the state, which is the guarantor of
last resort of collective life. For the time being, the state tries
te be reassuring. But if the bourses keep on heading south, it will
be state itself that will go in receivership, and that will plunge
nations into chaos. This is not me embracing catastrophism. I do not
believe in the unavoidability of the worst possible, I do not believe
in chaos, that is an untenable position, intellectual arrogance. But
that does not mean that one should be prevented from thinking about
it. Faced with absolute fear, I counter with hope absolute. Churchill
said once that an optimist is somebody who sees opportunity hiding
behind every calamity.

Crossroads

(Tom Waits/William Burroughs)

Now, George was a good straight boy to begin with, but there was bad blood
In him; someway he got into the magic bullets and that leads straight to
Devil's work, just like marijuana leads to heroin; you think you can take
Them bullets or leave 'em, do you?
Just save a few for your bad days

Well, now, we all have those bad days when you can't shoot for shit.

The more of them magics you use, the more bad days you have without them
So it comes down finally to all your days being bad without the bullets
It's magics or nothing
Time to stop chippying around and kidding yourself,
Kid, you're hooked, heavy as lead

And that's where old George found himself
Out there at the crossroads
Molding the Devil's bullets
Now a man figures it's his bullets, so it will
Hit what he wants to hit
But it don't always work that way

You see, some bullets is special for a single aim
A certain stag, or a certain person
And no matter where you are, that's where the bullet will end up
And in the moment of aiming, the gun turns into a dowser's wand
And point where the bullet wants to go

(George Schmid was moving in a series of convulsive spasms, like someone
with an epileptic fit, with his face distorted and his eyes wild like a
lassoed horse bracing his legs. But something kept pulling him on. And now
he is picking up the skulls and making the circle.)

I guess old George didn't rightly know what he's getting himself into
The fit was on him and it carried him right to the crossroads

Nue Propriété

She falls in love with a local chef who lives next door. Maybe more accurately, she falls in love with the world the chef creates with her when they are in each other’s company. When we stay in a love relationship with someone, the love is not simply about how we interact and are drawn to the other person. Over time, the love thrives because we fall in love with the environments we create in each other’s homes, activities, and social circles. We don’t just fall in love with the person, we fall in love with the world they’ve created around them in the company of their familiars.

The movie suggests how we treat our “enemies,” the people with whom we have strong conflicts of interest, probably says as much or more about us as how we treat the people we care about and with whom we are not in conflict. If you want to know someone more fully, investigate how they have treated their enemies and the people from their previous relationships.

We thought people would like them.

About Laurie Anderson - The End of the Moon:
Near the beginning of her show, she described a conversation with the NASA official who chose the pink-and-blue color scheme for the Hubble photographs of the universe. (Some of the tints picked up by instruments could not be seen by the human eye.)
When she asked him how he had chosen those colors, he innocently said, "We thought people would like them."

Robby Müller

The problem is, there are many films made today where the colour is not really necessary, but you don't have a choice because the distributor wants colour so he can sell it. But I always have a kind of "thinking exercise" with the director, "Why not in B&W?" or "Why not in colour?" So if we explain it to ourselves we know where we have to pay attention because if you make the kind of films I generally make colour could give you too much information.

I heard somebody say, 'Where's Mandela?'

In a speech defending his administration's Iraq policy, Mr Bush said former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's brutality had made it impossible to find a leader who could unite the country.

"I heard somebody say, 'Where's Mandela?'," he said.

"Well, Mandela's dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas."

The bizarre gaffe was made in a press conference in Washington yesterday.

"Video games are the first stage in a plan for machines to help the human race, the only plan that offers a future for intelligence. For the moment, the inseparable philosophy of our time is contained in the Pac-Man... Perhaps because he is the most perfect graphic metaphor of man's fate, he puts into true perspective the balance of power between theindividual and the environment. And he tells us soberly that though there may be honour in carrying out the greatestnumber of victorious attacks, it always comes a cropper." - Chris Marker, Sans Soleil

He became internationally known for the short film La Jetée (1962). It tells the story of a post-nuclear war experiment in time travel by using a series of filmed photographs developed as a photomontage of varying pace with limited narration and sound effects.

In the 2007 Criterion Collection release of La Jetée and Sans Soleil, marker included a short essay entitiled "Working on a shoestring budget". He confessed to shooting all of Sans Soleil with a silent film camera and recording all the audio on a primitive audio cassette recorder. Marker also reminds the reader that only one short scene in La Jette is of a moving image, only being able to borrow a movie camera for one afternoon while working on the film.

Chris Marker lives in Paris and does not grant interviews. When asked for a picture of himself, he usually offers a photograph of a cat instead. His cat is named Guillaume-en-egypte.
