OPERA OF/FOR KNOWN & UNKNOWABLE UN-I-VERSES

seyðisfjörður

DISTILLATION OF CURRENT PROPULSIONS

IDEA FRAGMENTS TO DEVELOP:

  • HOUSE BUILDING

- Walls, rooms, insulation, general architecture, embodied thinking through the act of building

- Scenography for the opera: scale models for possible scenarios, diagrams of model-interiors (model-homes, model-civilizations, city planning models, RPG terrain maps, natural history museum topographic layouts, aerial photography & googlemap satellites.

- sound-proof sound chambers for actual sonic experimentation or theoretical sonic event scenarios (really soundproofed vs. simulated soundproof)

- walls as representative components of architectural metaphors: revealed cross sections of barriers, the scrim of private/public space, containers of domesticity (home) or the sacred space of art (gallery), the evocation of ruins & fragmented planes lodged into natural spaces as a metaphor for ideological phenomena

- rumination on the architectural metaphor in general, architectonics of designed structures vs tectonic of natural/chaotic (un)structures

  • ONTOLOGICAL WEBSITE

- Diagrams sewn into hypertext vortices, nodal framework tapestry of data.

- Begins with a diagram of itself, mapping its own terrain, which becomes a coded structure unfurling a continuity of movement.

- Focus upon the mediation of media, of technology upon the faculties of thought, of the interface of the computer screen upon the lens of the eye

- compilation of entire ouvre, updated and digitized. The website serves as a portfolio which utilizes the aesthetic of the diagrams to collate the implicit cosmology of the meta-OOFKAUU-structure with the explicit content articulated through its resultant contents (music, writing, images, etc).

  • CERAMICS

- To be used as props for the opera: built and destroyed, highly aesthetic semi-functional pragmatic objects, metaphor of ideological materialism. An opportunity to make highly "lyrical" & evocative poetic forms - not of bodies or genital sexuality, but of cerebral/thought-forms & sensuality.

- Also, purely functional objects: I want to make my own coffee cup, tea cup, water vessel, soup bowl, salad bowl, grain bowl, hummus bowl, coarse vegetable bowl, etc etc. A beautiful handmade ceramic utensil for every purpose, to be put to use but also to aestheticize the process-ing of living.

*related to the interest in textiles & handmade clothing - not as art but to beautify life & increase happiness during the day-to-day

  • MUSIC PROCESSION

- Chart the MACAMAMMAMATRIX Prologue structure = reverse engineered notational diagrams

- Begin planning/brainstorming the post-prologue procession: instrumentation, awareness scenarios, aesthetic, collaborators

- Delve deeper into the software components of live sound performance: Ableton+MAX with triggers and electric guitar for solo performance setup

  • OOFKAUU MANIFESTO

- Creative/conceptual plagiarism applied towards articulating a new ontological direction, folded back upon itself as an artist statement.
