Mapping project.

Recently ive been thinking alot about invisibility.
Social, personal, global and its posibilities.
When we were doing the mapping project it just sort of struck me while watching the street, I cant see radio waves or wind or gravity, i only know they exist by the effects they cause- i know (or rather it is thought that) we are all made of subatomic particals which are asumed to be in order or in a state of chaos, but we cant see any of these systems.

When i realised i was the most forgetable member of the class (my name wasnt even in the hat) i started thinking about how to manufacture invisibility. during the group performance stuff i was taking note of the monologue in my head about how i was avoiding the gaze of the group.

I don't know if co-incidence is the word but saturday is the one year aniversary of the first (confirmed) invisibility cloak

Although- and heres the science part, given the correct conditions and alignment of atoms it is possible on a subatomic level light can pass through normal matter whilst the odds of every molecule in a human body being in this particular state are infinately improbable given an infinate amount of time this scenario will inevitably play out, so (via the miasma of quantum theory) this may or may not have already happened or be presently happening.

or its all just an INSANELY complex mind-fuck. whatever floats your boat.

The other issue here is perception- the eyes play tricks so why trust them?
Vision is a response to a stimulus not a reality all we see is reflections of light bouncing off what we assume are objects- colour is non existant it is a construsted system of understanding that some surfaces reflect light at different frequencies than others... so where does this leave the colour blind, or in the extreme the fully blind? what would a blind man take pictures of?



that was all a bit serious wasn't it?

i'll finish on a joke.... Two bee keepers are in a bar, "wow ive had a hard day, lots to do! ive got to look after ten thousand bees spread out over eight hives in an acare of prime flower beds, and i mean prime flowers from three continents in there. Takes some serious effort to keep them in bloom", "wow" says the other keeper "Well ive got a million bees.." slightly shocked the other keeper replies "christ thats tough how many hives is that?!"......."One..Fuck 'em theyre just bees"
