INTERVIEW: HANK BULL HB: There's been a lot of talk about new narrative, everywhere, not just in Canada, but everywhere. You can trace it back to the mainstream of modem literature, to writers like Robbegrillet. You look closely at a sentence or a video, and you realize that whole idea of Hank Bull along with Vera Body edited INFERMENTAL VI, a worldwide video extrava­ movement through time is pretty precarious, you change one word and the whole thing falls ganza. INFERMENTAL is the.first international videocassette magazine. It was conceived apart. The same thing with a film, its pretty specific. But at the same time, I've found looking in 1980 by Gabor and Vera Body as an encyclopedia for new visual art. It appears roughly at the tapes for INFERMENTAL, I mean we'd be there twelve hours a day watching video once a year, and is edited by a new group in a new city with each edition. New editors are tapes, I found that we could agree about the affinities between different tapes. We'd say right, assisted by at least one previous editor thus allowing the magazine to develop new contacts this tape goes with this one, doesn't it? And we'd say, yes, but if you were asked to say why, without losing touch with its original roots. INFERMENTAL is currently travelling to major it would then become very, very difficult. Or, the same thing when you 're in the middle of centres across the world. The show was supervised by Gerard Couty (FRIGO) and features editing a tape, you could see that this shot goes with that shot, not always because of the 59 contributions from 25 countries. It includes a total of roughly six hours of video movement, or anything like that, but because of something else, that I think doesn't have an productions. Along with Antoni Muntades, Bull also co-edited a special edition of Cross­ equivalent in alphabetic linguistic terms. In a sense, the alphabet and digital technology are Cultural Television whichforms an adjunct to the INFERMENTAL VI showings. Hank Bull two incompatible mechanisms. Yet, I think that video artists are a lot more like writers than isawriter,artist,andvideoartist.HeisanactivememberofVancouver's WESTERN FRONT they are like painters, and the tendency has always been to associate video artists with the which produced the INFERMENTAL VI show. He spoke to Rampike editor Karl Jirgens visual artists. But actually, they're more like writers. Making a video-tapeisalotlike writing. following a Video Screening at Toronto's A SPACE. The interesting thing now is that we 're just at the beginning of being able to write a grammar or a syntax for video. In fact, maybe even those words are inaccurate, maybe grammar and syntax go exclusively with the alphabet, and there's something else analogous to that in video. KJ: You mean things like juxtaposition for instance? HB: This is what we were getting at in the section of the show called "Fractal Grammar".

  • In the Name Of
    Bridges between Cultures March 20th 2021 Noruz, the spring equinox Mahdi Rokni – ITAU Iran nowruz, the spring equinox The Persian Solar Hijri Calendar Officially used in Iran and Afghanistan, the Solar Hijri calendar is one of the world's most accurate calendar systems. It is also known as Persian Calendar, Iranian Calendar, and SH Calendar. {The Solar Hijri calendar is not to be confused with the Islamic Hijri calendar used in many Muslim countries and by Muslims around the world.} Why this Calendar is so important? _Tied to the Equinox The Solar Hijri calendar is a solar calendar, meaning that its time reckoning is based on the Earth's movements around the Sun. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, which follows a set of predetermined rules to stay in sync with the solar year, the Solar Hijri calendar is based on astronomical observations. The year begins at midnight closest to the vernal equinox in Iran—specifically at the Iran standard time meridian at longitude 52.5° east, which runs about 250 miles (400 km) east of Tehran. The first day of the new year is called Nowruz, and it is celebrated around the world by Iranian people. What is an equinox? . Every six months, once in March and again in September, an equinox splits Earth’s day almost in half, giving us about 12 hours of daylight and 12 of night.On March 20, 2021, nature will once again bring us the vernal equinox, the time of year that ushers in spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Then, on September 22, the autumnal equinox will signal the coming of fall for the North.

  • A Science of Time Encodings for a World in Transition (Part II)
    Scientific GOD Journal | December 2019 | Volume 10 | Issue 8 | pp.672-704 672 Bermanseder, T., A Science of Time Encodings for a World in Transition (Part II) Exploration A Science of Time Encodings for a World in Transition (Part II) Tony Bermanseder * Abstract In this article, the author explores the science of time encodings for a world in transition. Part II of this two-particle includes: A Science of Time Encodings and a Mayan Calendar Mythology for a World in Transition; The Galactic Synchronization and the Age of Aquarius; The Grand Mayan Cycle and the Creation of Homo Sapiens by the Ancients in 36,000 Galactic Moons of 1.872 Million Haab Years; The Grand Mayan Cycle and the 13th star sign Ophiuchus in the Age of Pisces; and A Dawn of Human Civilization in the 5th , Precessional Cycle from the Midpoint of 10,802 BC. Keywords: Science, time encoding, world, transition. (Continued from Part I ) A Science of Time Encodings and a Mayan Calendar Mythology for a World in Transition The symbol of the Maya at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is known as Hunab Ku as 'Mover of all things' and depicting a galactic butterfly across the worlds changing from darkness to light in cycles of time. The Maya named the galactic Center Hunab Ku - the 'Giver of all Life and Measure' and called the 'Pathway from the Earth to Hunab Ku' as ‘Kuxan Suum - the Umbilical Cord between Earth’ as the Universal Mother and its Galactic Father-Mother. At the center of Hunab Ku resides a dualized supermembrane manifesting as a multi-dimensional wormhole core connecting a Black Hole ‘Mother’-Sink-Source to a White Hole ‘Father’-Source- Sink.
