The latest truth about Paul Laffoly

Recently I noticed that Paul Laffoly a Canadian American artist who was recommended to me by a Canadian American friend about a year or so ago; who I think is probably a friend of this artist, this video.

This video if you managed to watch it ok, is self explanatory. However if you could not watch it there are three very basic truth's in this video that describe what truth's Paul Laffoly is trying to express, outside of his art, which of course is fantastic. One important factor seems to be the comparison with art and Michael Angelo in his heyday.

"Michael Angelo's work in his day was useless" (Paul Laffoly see DVD)

Another important truth that pops up in this video is the current notion and fear about implants in the brain. It seems to answer that age old question about implants in the brain, without being to personal I would say objectively the answer is it's OK to have an implant in your brain that is as long as you use it to your maximum, I mean there's no point in wasting such valuable ideas.

However this raises one interestingly in all honesty question about chips in the brain that could be digital or analogue, is this.

What happens when the chip goes out of date how do you update your bundle? (Robert Bridge Aug 2009)

Not that I have a chip in my brain or anything but what I'm trying to understand in a mobile phone kind of way is surely if you have a chip implant in your brain and it helps you do such wonderful art then at some-point you may want to upgrade your subscription, like you would with a mobile phone or something like this.

The truth is though if you are reading this post on your mobile phone there might be a chance that you cannot actually watch the video attached above, even if you goto Paul Laffoly Odessey

you might not be receiving the audio or the video properly. So what options do you have. Well currently you can either wait for some sort of application to come along and make your mobile phone more useable with the internet browsing or you can just go home or to a internet cafe and watch the video's there. By subscribing to this blog by putting your e-mail in the box below, or any other blog you can bookmark the page even so as you can truthfully pop back later and then have a butchers then.

The key thing you need to remember about Paul Laffoly and you are in Europe or you would like to go on a trip to Europe is this: October 15th there is an exhibition of his work in a reputable gallery in Paris. The gallery is the Palais de Tokyo you can contact them directly at this link if you get lost in Paris because phone numbers and e-mails are available.

Anyway back to the three truths I originally was trying to highlight from the attached video is that secondly and in no logical order, is when Paul Laffoly says:

"I could have wrote a book but instead chose to express it in a picture" Paul Laffoly Revver DVD)

This second point is congruent therefore has to be true with another Paul and many other people like Tony Buzan etc who believe the mind or memory can absorb things better through the mind-map, a pictorial image of what you have just done, In-fact I think Buzan was the boy commissioned to mind-map the whole workings of an aeroplane or it might have been a Space shuttle. But now we are in-fact moving into the video age where everyone now instead or typing are talking through video's and such even I did it in a previous post.

The third latest truth point I would quickly like to highlight drawn from the video just watched which if you might not have been able to watch is that when art is made from an idea it is only by how it is interpreted that it ever becomes of any use, now what is symbolic of this key point is that you must draw upon things like art and new ideas, like I am just regurgitating from previous minds is this. Without and idea or a platform of expression there will be no new stuff, it will only be rambling of someone else's stuff, after-all in all honesty that's what we do, we do it everyday, I'm doing it now. The truth is in a satirical and slightly disgruntled way it seems today is that in all honesty I really don't know. If you think you do then please leave a comment here in this blog or just an invite to your own blog or something or anything like this.

In summary which I think I need to do for my own therapeutic poetic value is that when you create something no matter how far or how close or how much you paid for the making of something, which I remind myself is very enjoyable is this one very special annotation which again I'll end on this "It all goes somewhere, and it's Ok it going to help really it is going to help and it's going to help in a very special way, and that is the truth that I try and draw upon within this blog. What really jars me about writing in this cultural topic is getting pigeon holed with some scientific analogy or brushed into a cultural regurgitation of some other Frankfurt school sausage, and even worse just not getting read full stop.

The worst fear at the moment for this blog is some spybot advertiser spamming this site with stupid pop ups that slow down the whole creativity experience, If you are reading this and a pop keeps appearing I apologise and all I can say is I know nothing; again if you know then please leave a truthful reply in explanation why experiences or reading posts online slow down in this fashion. Chances are now this problem as you are reading this has already been rectified, we have our ways, right?
