Talking to myself (in pictures)

10/11/2024 digital is a filter

Went down in the cold to see the northern lights

These are ‘without’ a filter — which will become important later — but ‘without a filter’ is a meaningless construct on a digital medium like a cell phone — our biology is analog and despite the success of mathematics — so are we*

Yes — digitization is an excellent mimic of dualism — for example— we absolutely love this song (below) we found on Spotify while doing tumo this morning — where — when one breathes — is there digital discreetness? — see how quickly the synthetic/programmed ‘real’ falls apart? If you get stuck on in-breath / out-breath — you don’t understand breathing

BREATHE IN

BREATHE OUT

WE COULDN’T ‘SEE’ THE SUN-SPEW WITHOUT OUR CAMERA NIGHT SETTINGS

YOU’LL NEVER REWRITE YOUR REALITY DIGITALLY

A FINGER POINTING

Much love,

And a shout-out to the cohort! Our analog heart is gratified y’all occasionally find things of worth in our stupid words;-)

*there is a bit of accidental misdirection — the first gothic photos were taken with the night settings on our camera — however the northern lights had not yet descended — although we were getting reports from far farther south of their appearance — a couple of hours later — the lights appeared here in the Adirondacks — possibly our screen addiction has detuned our ability to see them — unaided? 40 years ago — we could see the scaler waves — the hypnotic veil — now — not without our mini screen ;-)
