Reality and Surreality. It's relationship to place

4

We confront images with the movement of our bodies and head, exchanging one image for another. "The surface of water becomes the surface of air,' in hallucinations, dreams films, then we look to some other place. We need air that's for sure and water! The images of reflections on a surface and the way light is infused distorts. Perhaps we should regard this metaphorically, if air was a fluid, (ref Aristotle Physics page 80 a7) The memory is a machine that has to interpret a flux of information *First we view the world upside down. Therefore the brain is able to access parallel universes that are the exact opposites!

The brain is a highly fragile organism that has to process the confused everyday phenomenon of life and eventually death. Those who preach normality are thrown into terrible darkness or depression and the light seems to go out in their sole, especially if they stubbornly reject new phenomena. The senses continually edit our day to day perception of the world. At times they demand and organised and logical explanation. It is impossible for me to explain the peculiarities of this life through Art and have decided to direct the paintings towards film and C.D.T. At a basic level the seascapes and figures/portraits are backdrops for digital images placed in the foreground, possibly used in film.

An arrow is shot into a waters surface. Is this a similar effect that it has on air, as the tip is distorted in flight. Rather than a point as the place that the arrows head occupies, there is no difference between limited bodies and their places either, with the result that place is something additional to each instance. I would prefer to suppose that we can only see the arrow for a short time and that our concentration is diverted somewhere else. The speed of the arrow and the amount of information has to be interpreted in real time and on a human scale. It has a counter effect that changes the nature of the next image, if the arrow is experienced by accident. What do we see next, no arrow?

It nearly hits us. What do we see next, a tree and then the sky, lake and reflections? This is the nature of perception. It makes no difference what the phenomenon is. It could be an unexplained paranormal activity that leads to other weird experiences. The place call it this window of reality has it's elements that are both material or immaterial, which has a magnitude that is not material. "Whereas the elements of perceptible things are material and things which are merely intelligible cannot constitute an object with magnitude." The concept of an arrow shooting through space is different to the experience of the arrow.
