sophie calle
sophie calle
french writer, photographer, installation artist, conceptual artist, examiner of identity, intimacy and human vulnerability.
"French conceptual artist Sophie Calle has invited guests into her temporary bedroom in the Eiffel Tower, worked as a maid to photograph strangers’ travel possessions, collaborated on a fictional character with writer Paul Auster, and been followed by a private detective at her own request. Her latest turn, at New York gallery Paula Cooper, finds Calle dealing with a lover’s breakup via email, using the traumatic experience to explore issues of intimacy vs. mass technology."

Take Care of Yourself
April 9 - June 6, 2009
534 W 21st Street
NEW YORK -- The Paula Cooper Gallery is pleased to present the first U.S. exhibition of Sophie Calle’s "Take Care of Yourself," a body of work created for the French Pavilion of the 2007 Venice Biennale. The show will open on 9 April 2009 and will remain on view through May at 534 West 21st Street.
I received an email telling me it was over.
I didn't know how to respond.
It was almost as if it hadn't been meant for me.
It ended with the words, "Take care of yourself."
And so I did.
I asked 107 women (including two made from wood and one with feathers),
chosen for their profession or skills, to interpret this letter.
To analyze it, comment on it, dance it, sing it.
Dissect it. Exhaust it. Understand it for me.
Answer for me.
It was a way of taking the time to break up.
A way of taking care of myself.

edgar mitchell
edgar mitchell
pilot, engineer, astronaut, soul searcher, visionary
although he wasn't the first, or the second - he was the sixth man to walk on the moon. excuse the michael jackson reference but moon walking aside, it's the work edgar mitchell has done after his space travels and continues to do today that is so profound and intriguing. in 1972 he founded the institute of noetic sciences (click on edgar mitchell above for link) to conduct and sponsor research into areas that mainstream science has found unproductive, including consciousness research, psychic events and paranormal phenomena. the organization is dedicated to exploring and researching topics such as spontaneous remission, meditation, consciousness, alternative healing practices, spirituality, human potential, psychic abilities and survival of consciousness after bodily death, among others (like extraterrestrials and unidentified flying objects) mitchell is a true metaphysician dedicating his life to the exploration of human potentials!

the golden mean
"…but for harmony beautiful to contemplate, science would not be worth following."
— Henri Poincaré.
in short, we are all part of the golden mean. nerds, read on.
in mathematics and in the ARTS, two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger one equals the ratio of the larger one to the smaller. the golden ratio is an irrational mathematical constant, approximately 1.6180339887. other names frequently used for the golden ratio are the golden section and golden mean. other terms encountered include extreme and mean ratio, medial section, divine proportion, divine section), golden proportion, golden cut, golden number, and mean of phidias. The golden ratio is often denoted by the greek letter phi, usually lower case (φ).
the golden mean, not only applies to mathematics, art and beauty but philosophy, education and politics, among others.a favorite of mine is in relation to aristotle's psychology of the soul and its virtues based on the golden mean between the extremes. in politics, aristotle criticizes the spartan polity by critiquing the disproportionate elements of the constitution; e.g., they trained the men and not the women, and they trained for war but not peace. this disharmony produced difficulties which he elaborates on in his work.
