some overcast days make a huge rainbow my camera doesn't really get to take a picture of. theres some abandoned places around these parts if you walk in the other direction, away from the city center. some of the billboards here are pretty amazing, totally neglected and layered with information. reminded me of Rauschenberg or something.
a lot of other billboards and public surfaces are pasted with this blue paper.
i spent some time today reading about Yves Klein and his blue. his hue is of course a lot darker and i was more trying to do some research on Leap Into The Void but maybe in some way these things are related. who knows, whatever. regardless, i think Klein is an exciting and important artist. must do some more reasearch on that.
ive been reading this book
its seperated into two sections: The Solar System ...And Beyond The Solar System
there is a pretty funny story by Rad Bradbury titled Kaleidoscope about a rocket which explodes in outerspace and all the crew are sent hurling into seperate directions throughout the galaxy, communicating through their headsets while floating into oblivion.
i also read a story this morning by A.E. Van Vogt called Far Centaurus. really insane and complex story of space/time travel that i wouldn't do a good job describing. check out this nerd blog instead.
“if you launch a thousand-year ship today, in a century somebody could fly the same mission in a hundred years. Theyre going to be passed and will probably have to go through customs when they get to Alpha Centauri A-2.”
the way Vogt writes sort of twists my brain. i guess he was involved with helping out L Ron Hubbard for awhile and helped come up with dianetics. weird,right.
