Franklyn - written & directed by Gerald McMorrow
A true inspiration in film making, full of surprises and twists with a real sense of suspense in both fantasy and human relationships.

| Landscape With The Fall of Icarus | ||
| by William Carlos Williams | ||
According to Brueghel when Icarus fell it was spring a farmer was ploughing his field the whole pageantry of the year was awake tingling near the edge of the sea concerned with itself sweating in the sun that melted the wings' wax unsignificantly off the coast there was a splash quite unnoticed this was Icarus drowning | ||

Luca Pozzi - A.E.W.O.M.[Le Strabisme du Dragon]
Schrödinger’s cat through Piero della Francesca influence, 2010 uovo in alluminio lucidato a specchio, campo elettromagnetico, tatami per arti marziali, piedistallo in legno laccato egg in polished aluminium, electromagnetic field, martial arts tatami, varnished wooden stand cm 140x25m

"A.E.W.O.M. [Le strabisme du Dragon]", elaborated by the artist between 2007 and 2009, presents itself as an experimental test for a complex visual “diagram”, formed by a close network of correspondences found between different disciplines: Art History, Theoretical Physics, Theology and Martial Arts, converging in a single act within an ancient early Christian site in the heart of the city known as the symbol of the Italian Renaissance.
The project visualizes the area of intersection between a Dragon (mythological figure, symbol of the union of the elements), whose gaze, with eyes looking in different directions, is here the effect of an apparently contradictory strabismus, and the Aleph Experiment, the physics research programme of the CERN/Centro Europeo per la Ricerca Nucleare (European Organization for Nuclear Research) of Geneva, concerned with the observation of the systematic result of countless high-energy collisions of oppositely charged subatomic particles. This reference inspired the initial acronym of the exhibition's title, literally, Aleph Experiment Without Mass.
An experimental exhibition that, through the imaginative visualization of gravitational interactions tries, above all, to experience a nearly symmetrical basic field; a potential field that exists before mass; but also a field that, possessing continuous quantum fluctuations, is metastable. A field that some call “void”.

Tom Wolfe
I make out a schoolbus...glowing orange, green, magenta, lavender, chlorine blue, every fluorescent pastel imaginable in thousands of designs, both large and small, like a cross between Fernand Liger and Dr. Strange, roaring together and vibrating off each other as if somebody had given Hieronymous Bosch fifty buckets of day-glo paint and a 1939 International Harvester schoolbus and told him to go to it.

Excerpt from The Garden of Proserpine
The Garden of Proserpine |
| Here, where the world is quiet ; |
| Here, where all trouble seems |
| Dead winds’ and spent waves’ riot |
| In doubtful dreams of dreams ; |
| I watch the green field growing |
| For reaping folk and sowing, |
| For harvest-time and mowing, |
| A sleepy world of streams. |
| I am tired of tears and laughter, |
| And men that laugh and weep ; |
| Of what may come hereafter |
| For men that sow to reap : |
| I am weary of days and hours, |
| Blown buds of barren flowers, |
| Desires and dreams and powers |
| And everything but sleep. |

William Blake - Auguries of Innocence
To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.

The Invisible Bowler. Leg before wicket but not out.
Meditation (Dhyana)
Shri Devi said: One may meditate on a visible image, O Mahadeva. What is the nature of meditation on the invisible? Shri Shankara said: O Devi, sound, uttered by me, is the absolute. By pronouncing a mantra with a devoted mind, there is invisible meditation and so forth. Maheshvari, this is true, true, self evident, undoubtedly - Matrikabhedatantra XII, 5-7The Invisible Person
Life kept rolling her over
like a piece of driftwood
in the surf of an angry sea
she was intelligent and beau-
tiful and well-off she made
friends easily yet she wasn’t
able to put the pieces to-
gether into any recognizable
shape she wasn’t sure who
she wanted to be so she
ended up being no one in par-
ticular she made herself al-
most invisible she was the
person you loved so much who
really wasn’t there at all.

A priest is he who lives solely in the realm of the invisible, for whom all that is visible has only the truth of an allegory.

The madness is spreading into the hollow cities. People everywhere are believing they are seeing the invisible man - as an expert in the field I can confirm that this can not be verified as an example of the Invisibility Syndrome. This is a rare case of being trapped in a vortex field and evaporated. Panic has taken to the streets as people fear that they too will one day become only a voice in the daylight of the living. Paranoia is becoming common place as the populace believe that in all things between the visible is the Invisibility Syndrome, a human being reduced to the perception of nothing. A breath of air on a cold morning, a creaking floorboard late at night - these are the signs of the invisibility syndrome.
Its cloudy in London as I write this behind stained bandages. My assistant has found another example of the invisibility syndrome. Here we can appreciate the full enormity of the crisis that faces the medical profession. I've been secretly working on retina scans for months hoping that there is a way to be able to see what we perceive as invisible - to allow the brain to assimulate the invisible, to give it shape, substance, a sense of meaning. Alchemic chemical compounds litter my laboratory - perhaps, somewhere in those liquids the answer exists. I leave you now to continue my research................
The experiment had spread beyond the underground laboratory . Secret medical case files indicated that in the rare instances of survival the refractive index of the subject dissolved leaving only the invisible. Cases began to be documented through out the world. The invisible epidemic had begun in 1933 and was now mutating, gradually adapting to the oxygen and light of the planet. As a scientist I can only hope that a cure is found, a cure for the world not ready for the unkown.
