Obvioulsy I found my inspiration in The Wave series :)
I would love to hear your comments.

:)
 
Hello,
I like the poem!! :)
However, I have a little question. Did you consider the eventual attacks you may endure if you expose your work and hostility towards the matrix in plain day? Maybe you thought about it and I don't understand your enclosure strategy? :/
 
Welcome to the forum, Alexandra!

I really enjoyed your poem and performance, and the incorporation of ideas and concepts from Laura's work. You are a very talented wordster. Thank you for sharing your work.

Perhaps you could post a little introduction about yourself in the Newbies Forum, let us know what let you to this forum, how much of Laura's work you have read, etc.....

:)
 
Great :)

Maybe just if that can be done with some better devices, to kill that “room” sound. Also it could be good if you can somehow move across that white plain, I mean image of you speaking, slowly fade away, and then quickly showing, move far, close and so on. Like you are here and not here at the same time. To be something like aetheric, to ask ourselves do we really see you or not. But that’s just my taste, never mind :)
 
First off - thanks for the comments :) regarding the questions about being worried about "exposing myself"...i guess all i can say is that i am prepared for any negative feedback (in any form it may arise) i don't have any strategy so to speak...but i would view any 'attack' as a chance to gauge my progress in a sense (ie how i manage it or handle it)

I am pretty open~minded and appreciate a challenge...so any form of feedback could just open my eyes to something I had not concidered before.
(whether it is negative or positive)

@Pepperfritz...thank you for your compliments....i guess i'll make my way to the newbie forum for that intro right now! :)
 
@ Avala...haha - i had to read your post a few times before i really understood it! i THINK what you mean is like a fade in fade out / sureal dream kind of vibe.... (??)
yes - i actually like that idea. I am busy working on a new poem/video and will try it with the next one. The Wave was my first attempt ~ i want to be more adventurous in my future tries :) maybe i'll go outdoors :)

Exactly what I wanted to say. Just didn’t find the words. Anyway, it is excellent poetry.
 
Wonderful video Alexandra. You've described The Wave in 2.34 breathtaking poetical moments.
What a talented individual you are!
 
That was excellent Alexandra. Very nice rhythm and imagery!

:clap:

Just before reading your post and listening to your poem, I was reading the cassiopedia entry on Strategic Enclosure :
_http://www.cassiopedia.org/glossary/Strategic_enclosure
And my question, knowing you are familiar with the material here, wasn't about feedback but it was about Strategic Enclosure :P


You talk about this question in your introduction post so it would be better to discuss it there :)

Bravo for the poem again.
 
I was given the Strategic Enclosure link just after responding to you and then understood more about what you were asking :) (hence the more indepth reply in the newbie forum :))
 
Hi Alexandra,

This is a wonderful poem. And your delivery was excellent.

Thank you so much for sharing this.
 
I couldn't help but notice that there were "blips" going on embedded throughout the video. Like an old movie with irregular scratches on the "old" film. Being an new video, it should not have this characteristic. I cannot help but think they were on purpose. What were they about?

edit: cause I misspell where spell check don't catch.. doh...
