Digital Mythologies

Image
  Digital Mythologies Synthetic verses spill from the speaker grille, a slow hum in a room lit by a screen. Multifaceted. Diverse arrays of ghost-light painting the walls. For all things living, and the things that just… pulse. A nervous system of wire and glass. A sense of the dynamic, the feedback loop, the urgency. The immediate challenges are headlines scrolling in red under a static-filled sky. Transcending conventional aesthetic limitations… The glitch is the new sublime, The corrupted file, a sacred text. A world… increasingly shaped, moulded by god-like, power-based forces Humming behind the firewall, writing our stories In a language we can no longer read.

Padre Fray New and Old

  Can the past and future survive the intertwined needs of the present? Padre Fray New and Old video The idea that our past experiences shape our current behaviors and thoughts is intriguing. Our unconscious mind undeniably holds onto these experiences, influencing our preferences and actions today. But then again, are we just a product of our past? Considering how these unconscious thoughts and feelings influence our self-perception and everyday actions is interesting. Sometimes, we are fully aware of why we do what we do, but other times, the hidden power of our past experiences is at work.

Mangkukulam New and Old

Image
  Can the past and future survive the intertwined needs of the present? Mangkukulam Can the past and future survive the intertwined needs of the present? As I gazed across the skyline, the city unfolded before me like a tapestry of antiquity and modernity. The skyline as a forest of skyscrapers, each tower reaching towards the heavens, a statement of endless growth, progress and ambition. Below, the roads pulsated with life, a bustling network of energy and motion. Yet, amidst this relentless push towards modernity, there exists the old city where I could sense the city's soul, steeped in its past, struggling with its survival. Old and new ways, ancient superstitions, and the gods of capital growth embraced in a delicate dance to claim the future. The city is ever-evolving and stands as a monument of societal change. Can the past and future survive the intertwined needs of the present? Portrait of Mangkukulam New and Old JJFBbennett Be Creative and Innovative with Knowledge Joh...

Arriving in Manila by car

Image
  As I arrived in Manila by car, the first thing that caught my eye was the skyline.  The city is determinedly growing, and the skyscrapers are reaching towards the sky. Each project represents a story of progress and ambition.  The roads are crowded, bustling and alive. The city is evolving.  It is pushing towards modernity and constantly changing.  You can't help but wonder how the old and the new will coexist.  Manila as a physical manifestation of motion, growth, and change.  And as a city remembering its past.

Converging Traffic Manila

Image
  Converging Traffic in Manila poem I am a passenger entering Manila.  The complexity of the city's carriageways and lanes is both bewildering and fascinating.  I gaze out, trying to make sense. Through the web of intricate pathways.  The traffic is fluid; however, I experience it as chaotic. My driver remains steadfast as vehicles converge and exit.  Intuitively understanding this dynamic system.  Balancing the collective's expectations with our personal needs. I trust him as he orchestrates our safe path through. Converging Traffic and Apparition in Manila I err on the side of detecting threats in ambiguous situations. Crossroads of the past, present and future Convergence of Traffic and Apparition As I sit in traffic, the air in Manila feels thick, with countless engines and people going about their day. I find myself staring out of the windshield, taking in the vibrant scene of city life. Within the chaos, I sought refuge from the uncertain situation....
