    • Guerra e Arte

      Num momento em que novos investimentos na arte da guerra exigem inovação e, se possível, jogos de guerra sem perdas humanas, algum do investimento que virá do OE e da Europa para a Defesa pode e deve ser canalizado para formas avançadas de investigação e experiência artística. Precisamos de uma separação de águas! Arte &…

    • I hate it. I love it. The Holy Shroud syndrome of Western Art in Berlinde De Bruyckere’s work

      ‘I want to show how helpless a body can be’ — Berlinde De Bruyckere. I find most Catholic religious art attached to various moods of sadomasochism. Stations of the Cross itself is an atrocious narrative. Most Counter-Reformist art exhibits this permanent trauma associated with the Roman Church in multiple ways, both in painting and in…

    • May 4, 1970

      I was actually looking for interviews with Marcel Duchamp YouTube — In 1970, four students were killed when National Guardsmen opened fire on protesters at Kent State University. By the next day, the photo of a 14-year-old runaway, weeping over a body, flashed around the world. Years later, Morley Safer found her and told her…

    • Anti-cinema

      Woman, Ukrainian, Jewish, Esfir Shub was an absolute pioneer in filmmaking created from documentary film archives. She was thus a forerunner of Soviet cinéma vérité (Kino-Pravda, Dziga Vertov, and others), analytical documentary cinema, and the so-called essay film. Faithful to the avant-garde logic of Soviet agitprop at the dawn of a revolution that took Russia…

    • Invisibles and the Parliament of Others

      Invisible Others As I define who the main constituencies of the Parliament of Others would be, the sea can only be a major one. I placed it in a section called ‘Hyperobjects.’ Allan Sekula and Noel Burch wrote the following texts for their essay film, The Forgotten Space. Both deserve to be in the Parliament…

    • A Princesa do Cinema Português

      Flashback Quando vi fotografias da Manuela Serra dos anos oitenta do século passado, reconheci imediatamente aqueles olhos que riem, as suas mãos andarilhas e o eterno cigarro que arde à sua volta. Lentamente veio o resto: Rui Simões, captações de imagem e som na Serra de Sintra, numa casa do Penedo… e os olhos que…

      “…the idea of ‘intelligence’ is itself emotional rather than mathematical.” — Alan Turing, “Intelligent Machinery”. Link. Memory and neural connection speed are the main properties of computer machines. Human brains’ advantage is that errors and learning from mistakes do not compromise the human ‘machinery’, which has not been the case with computers. The Greek term…

    • I had a dream

      Due to their strategically active cerebral nature, dreams should ultimately have a place in the Parliament of Others. Last night, I dreamed of walking through a large exhibition in an important but undefined museum, shrouded in the fog of images. Three or four rooms displayed conceptual art pieces. I was there at the pre-opening, surrounded…
