If 6 Was 9
9/11/07

”If the sun refuse to shine,
I don’t mind, I don’t mind,
If the mountains fell in the sea,
let it be, it ain’t me.
Alright, ‘cos I got my own world to look through,
And I ain’t gonna copy you.”
Jimi Hendrix – If 6 was 9

Here’s an article I wrote on Sept. 11th 2007,  before the Tea Party, Occupy, Anonymous, and Obama — imagining what the 9 year anniversary of 9/11 would be like… Funny how time flies, but still some pertinent points and information… http://mad30.livejournal.com/97252.html

Artist Collabs with Bees on Honeycomb Sculptures

Aganetha-Dyck-sculpture5

You could say artist Aganetha Dyck creates her sculptures as much as she fascilitates them.  Dyck uses honeybees to decorate these figurines.  The bees create graceful lines and countours that seem compliment the existing shapes of the figures.  Their honeycomb patterns don’t seem like strange additions but rather enhancements. –BEAUTIFUL DECAY

Hallucinations have Changed in 21st Century

Thanks to that whole “mental” part, mental illnesses are often heavily influenced by the cultures and societies in which people live. Case in point: The way people with schizophrenia interpret their own hallucinations has changed over the course of the 20th century, keeping pace with changes in technology. Where people once believed that demons were speaking to them, they came to think of those voices as emanating from secret phonographs. Today, people with schizophrenia are likely to imagine hidden cameras taping them for a reality show. The paranoid delusions are always there, but the context changes.
