One more stupid science-art experiment

The Australian performance artist known as Stelarc wants to transform his body into a portal on the internet. The visitors to Exit Art, a gallery in Midtown Manhattan, are being treated to a video of Stelarc's left arm being cut up like a rare tenderloin to implant a Bluetooth-enabled artificial ear. Stelarc's video is one of more grisly highlights of "Corpus Extremus (LIFE+)" , an exhibit about the wonders & horrors of " Post Natural History" & the ways in which technology is blurring… Continue

A shielding strategy against Negative Energies

Namaste' siblings,

Lately I felt many many negative attacks which i could send back as ping pong with the help of love and light.

The more we spread love the more darkness will try to cover us

The more light we spread, the more dark areas felt attacked.

And I have faced several of them but I was never be afraid

God made both designs

good and bad

light and darkness

good and bad

and we hold the key ... and we have the light ...May you be embraced by… Continue

My response from International Artists Network discussion on art business problems

I only want to point out that in societies such as ours, the intrinsic commodity is really "need" .the need of artists to show work, the gallerists to have a product that is sellable or interestng. Members of the public, to own something beautiful, or chic, or something that will grow in value. A good gallerist has to be a good salesman/woman. Many gallerists are not good in sales. Many gallerists wind up getting artists, whose need is greater than others , to foot the bills and pay… Continue

Lab is the abode of " Never-say-die " spirit.

All positive vibrations & light originating from this place lighten up the world.

This is where experimentation of all kinds takes place & re-search goes on.

Everything that is…
