The vice named surrealism is the immoderate and impassioned use of the stupefacient image or rather of the uncontrolled provocation of the image for its own sake and for the element of unpredictable perturbation and of metamorphosis which it introduces into the domain of representation; for each image on each occasion forces you to revise the entire Universe.
Louis Aragon
The mind which plunges into Surrealism, relives with burning excitement the best part of childhood.

Any landscape is a condition of the spirit.
Henri Frederic Amiel
First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.

Memphis Jook? Watch the first video to understand what is is, Watch the second to see transformation.

Art is magic... But how is it magic? In its metaphysical development? Or does some final transformation culminate in a magic reality? In truth, the latter is impossible without the former. If creation is not magic, the outcome cannot be magic.
Hans Hofmann
When times get grim, things can get weird. With the internet, it comes faster than ever.
In the midst of decline, a strange beauty can emerge. The somehow strange, yet captivating website below is a mix of ambient music and the police scanner. At least check it out.

A drunkard in the gutter is just where he ought to be, according to the fitness and tendency of things. Nature has set upon him the process of decline and dissolution by which she removes things which have survived their usefulness.

The WSJ has a piece on the decline of Detroit. Once one the ten largest cities in the US. I had a post last year on the decline of Detroit. Also see Time Photogallery. Just six months ahead of the news. Detroit is the result when you run out of other peoples money. It’s now endemic in America. The result will be painful.
Soldati, io esco da Roma. Chi vuole continuare la guerra contro lo straniero venga con me. Non posso offrigli ne¤ onori ne¤ stipendi; gli offro fame, sete, marce forzate, battaglie e morte. Chi ama la Patria me segua.
Soldiers, I'm getting out of Rome. Anyone who wants to carry on the war against the outsiders, follow me. I can offer you neither honours nor wages, I offer you hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Anyone who loves his country, follow me.

Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future generations.
