SHAKESPEARE

But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou her maid art far more fair than she.
Be not her maid, since she is envious.
Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off.
It is my lady! O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!
She speaks, yet she says nothing.
What of that? Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold; 'tis not to me she speaks.
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!

DADA

Dada was an artistic movement that began in Europe around the time of the first world war. A number of mainly french and german artists relocated to Zurich due to the refuge it was offering at the time. Although these artists had escaped the horrors of the war they were irritated that the war had been allowed to happen in a modern European society, so they began to protest through their art.

They began a tight group and used any public way they could to promote their work, and metaphorically spat on all nationalism, rationalism and materialism as well as anything else that they believe contributed to the First World War. They decided to have no part in the traditions, particularly artistic traditions, of the time. They were non artists, who created non art, since art and everything else in the world had no meaning. They desired to shock the public and they used mild obscenities and scatological humor and everyday objects which they renamed art. Marcel Duchamp is known as one of the artists which created some of the most notable outrages, for example, painting a mustache onto a copy of the mona lisa. The public were repulsed by this which just encouraged the dadaists more. However the art movement became popular and spread to other parts of Europe as well as New York, and in the early 1920s dadaism ceased to exist, when it it was in danger of becoming acceptable.

The key elements in Dada was chance and nonsensical. Dada expressed a new awareness of the role of the unconscious in everyday life and constituted of refusal to develop an understandable theory of art.

FOOTBALL - Notes

• After every near goal or goal attempt a Fulham chant follows.
• Football provokes emotion
• Crowd mentality
• How can you predict what someone's going to say or do?
• Gesturing - arms outstretched, welcoming, arm in air to get attention from fellow player?
• Negative body language - almost fight. Could not hear words but could tell what was happening through body language. Aston Villa player fell over, Fulham player went to help him up, Aston Villa player shoved him away. Spitting, disrespectful?

TEXTING

PLAYING WITH LIGHT AGAIN

Taking inspiration from my photographs of light trains last night I experimented with drawing shapes, words and letters using a lighter and a 30 second exposure time on a sony digital slr.

My first experiment was unsuccessful due the fact that I could not light my lighter correctly and it kept blowing out.

My second attempt was much more successful and actually created a shape, which was a heart. I will experiment tomorrow with a better variety of shapes.

I then attempted to combine text and shapes, I think this would have worked if I had realized it would come out backwards! - flip the image on photoshop?

I think the alphabet letters are extremely successful and tomorrow will create the entire alphabet. I will also do this outside as then i will have a darker background rather the the light wardrobe that is currently in the background which i find quite distracting.

COLOUR AND EMOTION

"I’m not an abstractionist. I’m not interested in the relationship of color or form or anything else. I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on."

"The fact that people break down and cry when confronted with my pictures shows that I can communicate those basic human emotions. The people who weep before my pictures are having the same religious experience I had when painting them. And if you say you are moved only by their color relationships then you miss the point."

CHILDRENS RHYMES (AND VARIATIONS)

Jack and Jill went up the hill

To fetch a pail of water.

Jack fell down and broke his crown,

And Jill came tumbling after

Jack and Jill went up the hill

To fetch a Pail of water

Silly Jill, forgot her pill

and now they have a daughter!

Jack and Jill went up the hill

and planned to do some kissing

jack made a pass, grabbed her ass

and now his front teeth are missing.

Mary had a little lamb,

its fleece as white as snow

and everywhere that mary went

the lamb was sure to go

Mary had a little lamb
her father shot it dead.
Now it goes to school with her
between two chunks of bread.

Mary had a little lamb
it ran into a pylon.
10,000 volts went up its arse
and turned its wool to nylon

Mary Mary Quite contrary,

how does your garden grow?

With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row

Mary Mary
Quite contrary
How does your garden grow
I live in a flat
You stupid twat
So how the fuck should I know

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Humpty Dumpty fucked a fat whore,
Humpty Dumpty fucked her some more,
All the kings horses and all the kings men,
Bent the bitch over and fucked her again.

And shot him in the head
Now that purple barstards dead

I love you
You love me
Barney took some ecstacey
Now hes lying on the floor
No more purple dinosaur

WORD ASSOCIATION

I've started a word association game on facebook, to see how many words i can get and how far we can get from the word 'language'

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=293471081656&ref=mf

After a fortnight I am going to look at the entire list of words, and look at what words appear multiply times and see if a pattern develops of words that we automatically associate together.

Also want to see if we can get back to the word language!

I will be doing this till the 15th February.

READING,

The mystery of how we read a sentence has been unlocked by scientists.

Previously, researchers thought that, when reading, both eyes focused on the same letter of a word. But a UK team has found this is not always the case.

In fact, almost 50% of the time, each of our eyes locks on to different letters simultaneously.

At the BA Festival of Science in York, the researchers also revealed that our brain can fuse two separate images to obtain a clear view of a page.

Sophisticated eye-tracking equipment allowed the team to pinpoint which letter a volunteer's eyes focused on, when reading 14-point font from one metre away.

Rather than the eyes moving smoothly over text, they make small jerky movements, focusing on a particular word for an instant and then moving along the sentence. Periods when the eyes are still are called fixations.

Crossed eyes

Professor Simon Liversedge, from the University of Southampton, said: "We found that in a very substantial number of fixations that people make when they read, they aren't looking at the same letter."

Instead, the eyes often focussed on different letters in the same word, about two characters apart, he said.

"They could be uncrossed, in the sense that the two lines of sight are not crossed when you look at a word, or alternatively the two lines of sight may be crossed," he added.

The team's results demonstrated that both eyes lock on to the same letter 53% of the time; for 39% of the time they see different letters with uncrossed eyes; and for 8% of the time the eyes are crossing to focus on different letters.

A follow-up experiment with the eye-tracking equipment showed that we only see one clear image when reading because our brain fuses the different images from our eyes together.

The tests showed that we use the information from both eyes, rather than our brain suppressing one image and only processing the other.

Professor Liversedge said: "A comprehensive understanding of the psychological processes underlying reading is vital if we are to develop better methods of teaching children to read and offer remedial treatments for those with reading disorders such as dyslexia."
