inanga > Nanosecond, Sorano The image of the photo captured in paint... acrylic, oil, gouache and gold leaf on paper 2007 Kaitiaki: Miles from ? I wrote the following in my Plog - this is a good place to archive it: 'Don't you get the impression that everything is connected. The strand of all life has been stretched infinitely - far beyond our limited three-dimensional capabilities. The world wide web is changing that, we hope. We being those who give a damn about it all in the first place. So the story here starts in Tuscany in a Dulux-Resene heaven of exploding colour. At first there is the palette complete with freshly squeezed paint, then the photons from that ever exploding Sun, they hit your retina, psychotropic chemicals go hog wild doing the neuron-synsapse connection thing to the pineal gland, and whammo - you see the picture in front of you in a nanosecond - and at exactly at 4.10 pm in the afternoon as the clock on the tower attests. Hence the name given to this piece - Nanosecond Sorano. It is now the property of Miles from Nowhere and he took the image I am talking about that you see at the start of this Plog. The other picture is The Artist's Palette - the actual palette was a gift to 'mfnw' (alias Cockroach) who also took the image of the palette and the 3-D Sunflowers. Amazing what a camera and a nanosecond can do. Thank goodness our right hemispheres, under the right harmonic conditions, operate faster than light (FTL). It is sort of odd that a picture that depicts the exact moment of creation of a scene took more time than that to paint. Funny thing happened during the painting... I was on an enforced electricity budget so I was painting by two-candle power only. I painted the time on the clock when the painting was finished - 4.10 am in the morning, or about 12 hours' or so difference northern hemisphere Tuscany time from Downunder southern hemisphere time. Are you confused with this complete mix of the hemispheres, well I am! Needless to say, in the wee hours of the morning I was engrossed totally in depicting the nanosecond that the Sun's rays hit the town of Sorano and that image your eyes and brain scramble to equal a painting in a Plog. Anyway, the paper moved on to a candle while I was swirling the scene and it caught fire. It took be a few seconds to double take and realise that the painting was on fire (or Phi-re). I stubbed it out with my sleeve and repaired it with oil, acrylic and gold leaf, The tragedy that was fixed occurred about half-way up the right-side of Sorano. I knew i had finished this exquisite moment in my own weird quantum reality when i signed i in the Piet Mondrian mural on the fence in the left-hand bottom corner of the beautiful little town of Sorano, Tuscany. Mondrian was a great lover of Phi proportions, even though he presents his pictures as 2-D Platonic solids. The life of a painting goes on - it creates its own universe. The painting was framed by a close friend of Miles from Nowhere. It went on another journey to Tamaki-makau-rau (Auckland) where it is awaiting the next leg of its journey through this 3-D stopover of Earth. I feel I am writing these words in absentia, but I know I am not. I am about to Customize by world wide links on Spider Grandmother's intricately woven filament of connectivity. Time to publish another Plog - painting log - and I hope those that read it get a kick out of it.' inanga

inanga > Pic 1: The Treasure Map i have not asked RAM's area map of the LOST DUTCHMAN MINE on Treasure Island (as decribed in Estee Conatser's book 'The Sterling Legend') for permission to use his excellent map. It led me to the Mine and beyond. But if this on-line Treasure Hunt amounts to anything he can have a slice of the 'treasure' - if no one beats us to it. Obviously i am in Aotearoa writing this now, otherwise we would have our pockets full already. Sometimes the telling of the story outstrips the actual events. You don't even need a SmugMug account - but if you are into sharing and communities i've found nothing better. As you will see from the following detail there are lots of clues. - original in black with blue pen clues Copyright of Robert A Morehead [in Phoenix or nearby i dare presume] inanga

inanga > Whitebait's On-line Travelogue: 'I still call NZ home' For some strange reason the combination of Smug-icons and the red lines returning again to Aotearoa (New Zealand) forever reminds me of my own life. I spent a long time leaving Australia or New Zealand and returning, The Smug-icons on this map (from my gallery to Geo-coded Google Earth Locations of my paintings) are reminders of the places in Kiwiland that influenced my upbringing. All in all the whole exercise leads to a massive bout of introspection. I have changed what I wrote earlier here because I learnt a valuable exercise in 'flexibility' when I was in LA recently. It all happened because I got an Apple iPhone. No this is not an ad for Apple's technology at all. It is an introspective ramble on 'it is alright to change your mind'. And then there is Facebook - I became addicted. But that was easily solved. I turned this addiction into a preference, unlike some of my other addictions which I have to watch like a hawk! And then there is the fringe web of collective consciousness and concern for our lot and that of others in this technological morass. Sites appear like crop circles without little explanation and show some of the true character of the face watching the screen and holding the mouse. Wikipedia and Knol are born and the wisdom is shared further. Good causes have an international voice - vox populi goes feral! I look at this pic - a video-ed dowload of my computer screen - an auto snapshot loaded into Picasa 3 on-line photo editor - edited in Picasa 3 (clever name!) - uploaded to a SmugMug gallery based on a giant Google-connected server - all using Mozilla Firefox - getting into this particular gallery via a Plogsite and then arranging it by thumbnails so this pic features - all in five minutes. I look at the two thumbnails on the right of this screen capture, both of Pitagliano now in my Tuscany Gallery, and think of the amount of time that went into painting those to get them right. Maybe this techno-art mix - paintings to galleries to world - is a new genre that I am caught up in. But to what effect I ask rhetorically. The end rest is techno-art in the age of nanosecond expectation. Here is a gallery flouted around the globe with a pic highlighting the place where I was born and always seem to return to highlighted by red arrows and Smug-icons, created in five minutes, with little or no thought that would look good in a 100% Clean Green New Zealand campaign - and we all know that isn't true - or on cover of a NZ Tourism brochure for possible visitors. Incidentally I have an Australian passport. I got this, even though I was born in Greymouth, because the inefficient and poorly-run New Zealand Passport Office makes it too difficult for its own citizens to get such documentation. I have witnessed it time and time again - so I went to the Australian Passport Office, satisfied their criteria, and obtained in quick time a brand spanking new Ozzie document. So a boy from Greymouth now travels on an Ozzie passport because of his own country's bureaucratic inadequacies. I wonder if I can get one of theirs (the Poms) too and travel at Her Majesty's pleasure; maybe a US Green Card, or the creme de la creme - a Swiss passport.
