In case you were wondering what was in the middle of that Volcanic cloud in Iceland, I'm pretty sure it's this.

EXTRACT




PROCESS PHOTOS OF MY PIECE FOR "JOUISSANCE" AT THE GREAT HALL

ART HISTORY BY VUK VIDOR

SCINTILLATION from Xavier Chassaing on Vimeo.


Please keep watching, it gets more and more stunning with every second.

LELLO//ARNELL



The photograph features sixteen boxes loaded with cause-and-effect machines. The boxes are connected by openings which lead the narrative of the piece through a linear motion through - and finally out of - the photograph. The work seeks to explore ideas about history and how it shapes our societies and how certain interpretations come to be regarded as facts. In the piece, the overture to a historical event has been deconstructed and represented in a less-than-explicit manner, forcing the viewer to pure guess-work as to what event is being described. However, there should be enough ambiguous hints to lead the viewer to believe he has found the correct one

I'M SO HIP EVEN MY ERRORS ARE CORRECT.

NIKKI GIOVANNI

I was born in the congo
I walked to the fertile crescent and built
the sphinx
I designed a pyramid so tough that a star
that only glows every one hundred years falls
into the center giving divine perfect light
I am bad

I sat on the throne
drinking nectar with allah
I got hot and sent an ice age to europe
to cool my thirst
My oldest daughter is nefertiti
the tears from my birth pains
created the nile
I am a beautiful woman

I gazed on the forest and burned
out the sahara desert
with a packet of goat's meat
and a change of clothes
I crossed it in two hours
I am a gazelle so swift
so swift you can't catch me

For a birthday present when he was three
I gave my son hannibal an elephant
He gave me rome for mother's day
My strength flows ever on

My son noah built new/ark and
I stood proudly at the helm
as we sailed on a soft summer day
I turned myself into myself and was
jesus
men intone my loving name
All praises All praises
I am the one who would save

I sowed diamonds in my back yard
My bowels deliver uranium
the filings from my fingernails are
semi-precious jewels
On a trip north
I caught a cold and blew
My nose giving oil to the arab world
I am so hip even my errors are correct
I sailed west to reach east and had to round off
the earth as I went
The hair from my head thinned and gold was laid
across three continents

I am so perfect so divine so ethereal so surreal
I cannot be comprehended except by my permission

I mean...I...can fly
like a bird in the sky...
