'Wikipedia Sky', a quick sketch
I 'ordered' a future dream (which usually doesn't work well), here is
the dream of 8/8/08:
I'm standing in a landscape. The day is overcast and grey. I look up and
see multiple ufos flying across the sky. Some move fast, some move slow
and all move completely silently. Some appear like hollow oval shapes,
they remind me of bacteria. Some take on the shape of continents, filled
with texts from Wikipedia. Some texts are plain square, and some overlap
like on a poorly made website. They slowly move until they come to a
standstill. Critical spots and knots are marked by special letters and
numbers. I see the shape of Africa. The only thing I can decipher is
'fire'. I am aware that the Wikipedia ufos will stay on the sky for one
hour so that everybody gets a chance to read the information. After one
hour, they will fade away.
Comment: I was wondering what this was about. The next day, during a
surf session in the Internet, I came across random pictures of Darfur.
It often appears to me that synchronicity shows in small, random things.
'Awake In A Dream', pencil on paper
The sketch is not based on a certain dream. It is about waking inside
the dream and the floating changes of awareness.
So, even as the dreamer opens her eyes, she becomes the bird, the moon,
the stars, the sea and everything else that waits to enter her
awareness, while the curtains of time gently are drawn aside. The future
is already here. I also wanted to outline in the sketch that everything
comes (and goes) in waves - including those ramifications of life that
make us feel like we walk in deep sleep.
My own (day)dream for the future would be to empower the potential of
global dreaming and the connections of dreamtime.
Landscape With Flowers, Clock, & Dreamer (acrylics on canvas)
This is the painting I also showed at last year's psibergallery. Yet,
as time went by, I continued to work on it (trying to not wake the girl
dreaming in the corner).
The image is not based on a certain dream as well. During work I try to
go with a kind of dreamlike state, not analyzing whatever flows out of
the brush. Eventually the shapes became bananas, monkeys, bicycles, dogs
or just debris circling round. The clock is a red flower with sort of
organic arms - not by far as alarming as the brave alarm clocks of
physical life we are used to get woken by. The clock doesn't measure a
future or past time line, it doesn't measure anything. It indicates
myriad multiple layers of what is Now (if this makes sense). I thought
this is where the future lays hidden. It (hopefully) includes, in some
way, those moments that you spend right here in front of your screen on
your cyber gallery round.
