I Knew You

"CORAZON Y MENTE EN EL MOMENTO PRESENTE"

As we grow into our childdhood days, we dream of greatness, of extraordinary lives; then the pain, an awful burn of realizing most of our days will be nothing more than ordinary, that our names will die with those who kept us shortly in their memories. That our lives will leave no trace.We're condenmmned to insignificance and oblivion.

And in that inmanence, finding comfort in the joy of the daily moments, sleeping in the arms of the loved one; having a walk in the park, late when no one's out, perceiving the smells of the almost fresh air of the city, the cold and the drops lying on the grass; having the company and the peaceful silence of your dog; giving your parents a goodnight kiss; laughing at nights with your sister. Those little moments re the ones that give meaning to these mundane days.

What a joy this is! To know with certainty that death is inevitable and unpredictable and yet not having fear, because life as ordinary as it is, it's just simply wonderful, only if we acknowledge that present is the only thing that truly exist, the rest just simply escapes our perception and control. Heart and mind in the present time.

You’ve become a cartoon of yourself, a parody of a stranger soul; darling stop the dialogue, you’re in the wrong play. You’re quoting the enchantress, the mystery itself, yet you’re still the plebeian, the bystander; you don’t know what this love is all about. You fool the less gifted, but there’s no amusement in your words, not anymore. I’m leaving your side, I’m untangling from your soul, You’re no longer mon rêve- mon amour.

Imagine Street Fighter but with history’s greatest scientists

Darwin. Hawking. Einstein. Tesla. Newton. Curie. Pythagoras of Samos. Each one has expanded our understanding of the physical world. And yet, somehow, we’ve never honored these luminaries with a 16-bit fighting game, until now.

Tenorless:  Gorgeous Flowing Motion

Note:  The artwork above is edited gif clips of the work of Tenorless. To see the full length and full motion video with sound, visit the Instagram page of Tenorless.

Tenorless recently graduated in New Media from University of North Carolina at Asheville and has become a passionate advocate of the software Touchdesigner, which is a ‘node based visual programming language for real time interactive multimedia content’ that has captured the imagination of many artists due to its ability to create real time moving images like the clips you see above.  It is used by EDM artists such as DeadMau5 for their live shows.  Tenorless is an artist with a fertile and wide ranging imagination, and with a tool like Touchdesigner in his hands he is able to create beautifully flowing textures and imagery. Seeing such imagery on giant screens backed by EDM music must be quite an experience.

Fuck off! Your heart is blind Your eyes are staring at the shadows of your own cave You're holding onto a loop, a loop I don't belong. Please go back to that road Cause my guts hate when you're cut by half Go back to the shitty colors, there where mine don't fit. Cause after all, you've never been here, you're still a stranger. I am to you, a stranger too. You don't know me, you don't know me at all. I'm not leaving. I'm untangling.
