M.C ESCHER, Joyce, Chu & HYPERBOMBLING

I was excited to hear about YARNBOMBING: the application of YARN to the urban environment with a Graffiti Artists cunning and brandalist's - methods and state-of-mind. The deployment of HYPERBOLIC objects into the urban and the public environment is a challenge for both teachers, governments and artists alike. For me though, some of the street artists and Graffiti painters are most adept and active in casting HYPERBOLIC structures into the public domain using SURPRISE and artistic prowess to deploy such objects.

"While other forms of graffiti may be expressive, decorative, territorial, socio-political commentary, advertising or vandalism, yarn bombing is almost exclusively about beautification and creativity - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarnbombing

One graffiti artist, and good friend of mine - in particular - has a direct association and open interest in HYPERBOLIC structures, as mastered by the great Dutch artist: M.C Escher - Who's work is replicated, in part, on the homepage of the Institute for figuring, the artist known as CHU recently made some 'M.C ESCHER tribute' canvases in AEROSOL that show a freehand GRAFFITI interpretation of HYPERBOLA'

"The matrix is the kind of film about the matrix that the Matrix could have produced -- Jean Baudrillard.

Some Aerosol Graffiti Artists’ manifest "imposseeblu" objects, sombunall based on alphabetical forms. Some BURST, others bust! Graffiti Artist.n.t - blowing up - Alphabits with wind and semantext & putting word and world back together. Repairing the great language crash of 2009 in an Urban ghetto. Some Impossible lettengineers pay structural tribute to M.C Esher, the streets become a labyrinth of ambiguity.



Some experimental ASTRACTIVISTS use Gurilla-attack systems of Graffiti application and deployment, adding to the information quotent within the "surprise = information" equation. span > CHU's latest TRILOGY are a self-described "tribute to M.C ESCHER and GRAFFITI ARTISTS worldwide." Parts 1 & 2 have been deployed already - we await the 3'rd. I wonder of Waterfalls, cubes, Mobius Strip II?

Graffiti Art turns the modern ART Gallery INSIDE OUT. The streets have become galleries again. With hidden treasure and tales for attentive observers. Publik Big Brother public amuses himself, themself and itself. Most Graffiti Artists have an inbred rejection of faux icons and defend the word-world by perpetually turning things inside out. Outside in, like the experience of witnessing an Escher world view, a kind of HYPERBOLIC experience or a COEX system, as Groff' might say. Retail Activity, the painting by CHU sums up & balances down equations vs. Shopping. Aerosol Graffiti Art becomes indistinguishable from Magic.

"I also updated the piece to depict a modern market area, a supermarket or shopping mall, filled with glass panels (shamelessly achieved by the use of a paper edge). Instead of the three views culminating in exit points to organic backgrounds or nature, I chose to make the whole space an interior, with backgrounds of a shop, car park and a public sliding-door entrance. The figures are also modernised; cash machine, struggling pensioners, drunks, maintenance orderly and shoppers. -- http://www.schudio.co.uk/blog/2009/m-c-escher-tribute-2-of-3

Turning the shopper into shop. Nouns into stone. Grey wall. Yes. No. Mighta' Retail Activity Infinite stupidity of consumer. Insider grey shady trade wall. Supermarket sweep-up. CCTV, Banking, shopping, to infinity. Retale of youtube?

In searching for visual metaphors for Joyce's master-built 'Finnegans Wake' the master of impossible objects to the eye - M.C Escher - dances with an isomorphic lurch. Puzzling tesselations in the wake mirror of symmetry. If the word were able to be broken down into the 17 wallpaper - tessilations - then Finnegans Wake would probably be the SPANISH CASTLE MAGIC, or the deployment of wallpapers within a laboratory space of literature, investigating and remixing itself, turning the world inside out, upside down with mathematical precision.



Making the impossible equations of Quantum Mechanics and the newer fields of Cognitive sciences into new MAPS, CHARTS, DIAGRAMS and TOOLS with which to make further readings with, to find the metaprogramer in the infinite flux of being?



Searching for M.C. Escher by name in Finnegans Wake turned up such ESCHER DRAMAS as:

"Anita is informed by some illegitimate
children of Fortissa with Mauritius (the supposition is Ware's)
that Gillia, the schismatical wife of Magravius, is visited
clandestinely by Barnabas, the advocate of Honuphrius, an immoral
person who has been corrupted by Jeremias. -- J.J. F.W. P 572.

"Of course, my
pledge between us, there's no-one Noel like him here to
hear. Esch so eschess, douls a doulse! -- James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, 588.

That's the point of eschatology our book of kills reaches
for now in soandso many counterpoint words. What can't be
coded can be decorded if an ear aye sieze what no eye ere grieved
for. -- J.J, F.W. P. 482.

"He beached the bark of his tale; and set to husband and vine:
and the harpermaster told all the living conservancy, know
Meschiameschianah, how that win a gain was in again. -- J.J, F.W. p. 358

I'll leave the rest to the imagineers. Google Escher, look at his work, now read some of Finnegans Wake - and maybe even listen to some Theolonious MONK.

“RETAIL ACTIVITY” ripples off the tongue, out through the corridoors
The passageways RETAIL ACTIVITY! Like a track title to a musical masterpiece, yes.
The words given to a painting deserve close study.
Fossilized poems and the doors to epiphany.
RETAIL ACTIVITY. The recycling of the market economy?
The impossible reality. Retail ART market.
The labrynth ambiguity that haunts every shop.
The virus of language munching down the gates of market.
Retail intersection point. Mauled perception.
More image and more simulation, the more illusion power. yes.
Whose Buying all the images. THINGNESS virus on the loose. “Isness is an Illness.”
New retail activity in new ways of seeing
New ways of percieving, tools and windows and glosses
To reflect, amplify, redirect energy. Yes.
And provide - transparancy - the great gift of reflection.
RETAIL ACTIVITY MAXIMUS.
