"strange days" (the doors)

(quadro de alexander calder, "blanc et noir", 1972)





"Strange days have found us

Strange days have tracked us down

They're going to destroy

Our casual joys

We shall go on playing

Or find a new town



 Strange eyes fill strange rooms

Voices will signal their tired end

The hostess is grinning

Her guests sleep from sinning

Hear me talk of sin

And you know this is it



Strange days have found us

And through their strange hours

We linger alone

Bodies confused

Memories misused

As we run from the day

To a strange night of stone" (1)

hans richter, dreams that money can buy (1947)

e as imagens surgem
como espirais abrindo-se
e abrindo-se ainda mais.



(excerto de dreams that money can buy, de hans richter. este excerto baseia-se em ideias de marcel duchamp)



(na minha opinião, é o melhor excerto do filme. é baseado em ideias de alexander calder)

a visão de tim berners-lee

(escultura de alexander calder, "plutôt jaune", 1965)


"Berners-Lee's original vision of the WWW was of a sea of interactive shared knowledge, in which our computers are memexes whose knowledge base exists in cyberspace rather than microfilm. He presented a vision of the «great brain», as he calls it, as a living organism, a vision that conveyed an oscillating analog/digital sense of the dynamic, interactive information continuum that is the Net and its users" (1)
