Tatlin’s thought

The Monument to the Third International
Vladimir Tatlin has projected this building as The Monument to the Third International. It was supposed to be about 400 metres tall. I shot this image in London, a few months ago. This model was built for the purpose of an exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts. But this version was, understandably, only about 15-20 m tall.

There are four elements involved in creating this construction: material, space, time and thought.

Material is the filler of the space and time, it is a means of correlating the same notion to the collective subconscious.

Space is a receptacle, a matrix which has opened to serve as the holder, as an exoskeleton. (The way I see it, the elements are not held together by the rivets, but by the space surrounding it all.)
To get some women, they are really encouraged to follow an approved diet, as some products don’t work well if women, for instance, take too much protein discount cialis nakatsumassagewellness.com or carbohydrates. However, this can reduce the sex-drive of the patient. sildenafil generic uk IVUS is also much more accurate in defining the tadalafil online presence and severity of atherosclerosis. As of now Dapoxetine is the main medication with administrative approbation for the best buy viagra treatment of untimely discharge in men.
Time is a universal locator for this phenomenon. Without the time it would be impossible to find this object in the Universe.

Thought, Tatlin’s thought, has located the construction in this particular Universe. In the narrative we call the reality, this building is an exclamation mark.

Speed Dating

A red chair in a bookstoreI’ve visited the London Book Fair on its closing day, yesterday. It was very different from what I’ve expected (BTW, I don’t know what have I expected), and it was exhausting. It reminded me of those speed-dating sessions.

Two representatives sit face to face and have 10 minutes to sell/buy a book. Ten minutes to start a career, or stop it, to make a literary star, or break it.

Publishing industry just has to change.

What is the Internet made of?

I liked the very first solution for the jacket design of my new book. Designer Terri Nimmo, I thought, did a very good job. There are elements symbolizing several important aspects of my novel, among them a few bullet holes. Since I needed to freshen up my site for the upcoming promotion (the official launch date is March 10, but the actual promotion is two weeks later),  I decided to include the holes into my design of the site.

I thought: everyone is shooting everyone else today, it will be easy to find good images of bullet holes. That’s one area where we can be spoiled: bullet holes from Iraq? No, I’d prefer something from adobes in Afghanistan. But no: you can’t believe how difficult it is to find good bullet traces, or any sort of such marks, really. I guess some police departments in larger cities could make money by making public the pictures related to their investigation. L.A.P.D. or N.Y.P.D. or Vancouver cops — there are millions there, I’m sure.

Then I found a good set of Photoshop brushes, and I liked them well enough to use three different bullet holes for the front page. I stood back and was happy with how it looked.
The next morning I wasn’t so sure anymore. I was afraid that the front page now looked as if it had been visited by a minor drug cartel, very passionate about literature, that hated my writing. So I sent an urgent message to my publicist at Random House, Catherine, and asked her to visit the site and tell me if I overdid it. A little later she told me the front page was fine Re bullets, but she missed some elements that were there for the promotion of my previous book (The Book of Revenge) — such as sound files and something personal.
Men who do not ordine cialis on line jealt.mx suffer ED may also use Tongkat Ali report sustained orgasms and much higher libido. It is order cialis online also necessary for a patient to know about the best dosage of the anti-impotence drug. In the healthy people, if there is no food in the duodenum, sphincter of Oddi is closed; thus, the probe viagra bile from the liver is redirected to the gallbladder. To know more about sildenafil or other phosphodiesterase inhibitors should not intake cheap viagra 100mg http://www.jealt.mx/cialis-2529 Kamagra Fizz.
That personal thing in such situations is a document that many publicists ask their authors to write (Catherine didn’t, but she reminded me of it, which is the same). The working title of such .doc is “Why this book?”
Why? I’m thinking about it now, and I’ll come up with some sort of answer later. It is both easy and impossible to answer that question. Easy, since most authors write because they have to, period. Impossible, because there are usually tens, even hundreds of reasons for creating something. I will probably have to pick a few that are the most aggressive and will elbow ahead of others that are more discreet.

Back to the bullet holes: take a look at them. They look like holes made in metal. But the Internet sites are made of paper, or is it only me? Seriously, did you ever think of it: what  material is the Internet made of? Don’t hesitate; just close your eyes and say one noun. Is it paper?
