Subject: hell's cold


Hi Dirk,
You've mentioned my name in one sentence,I find that interesting as
introduction in wide consideration relationship between random-deliberate,
predictable-unpredictable…I find art history-aesthetic-philosophy could =
be good for
reflection about those things,or for polemic at least.Those disciplines are=
equal important as programming(for example).
I'm not "programming artist"or"software artist",my personal interest for Rh=
izome_Raw list writing's to define
clean message:we are different people and our "role"in this time we live to=
gether
on this planet is to understand that this difference is not reason for into=
lerance,…on the contrary.

Cheers
MANIK
PS:
Fact that Mondrian belong to Dutchman is not reason for you to be so upset.
I also mentioned Americans in that mail,and so far they're happy with that.



Apologies, MANIK from hell, i was out all day and perhaps it's because i'm
too tired but much as i feel obliged to anwer when addressed, i find it near
impossible to respond to your remarks in a meaningful way now: you start
from mistaking my sigh of incompetence to deal with a concept for a
definition of a word, and continue in a random fashion of pre-emptive
strikes to nail my male but against an imagenary wall, it seems. My next
mail in this thread kinda contradicts everything here, no? Anyway, i'm not
from the Netherlands, so there's no need to drag those fine people into this
and if you'd care to take a look at what i try to do, you might agree i'm
not after any kind of total control.
How is hell these days anyway? i kinda miss the heat, sometimes.

Hi Dirk,
This is MANIK from hell.
Let's get to work:for you randomness mean same as a concept("For me
randomness, the concept, …)
This is interesting idea and I dare to see rot of it could be in Dutchman's
fight for fertility land,fight against nature(fait against randomness of
see, the concept of other entity,God maybe.)American Pioneer have some of
that madness but they were cruel murder if is necessary,and of curse God was
good/necessary for pardon of sins)."So help me God!",they said and kill some
Iraqi child,or Indian,it doesn't matter.
Man have to established full control,he's uber alles,he rule over nature-in
this moment this represent retro-modernistic concept with element of
fascism(genetic control and modular stile of space/mind strategic
organization),fancy,inn,mostly in design,and fashion,in
"modular"architecture etc…Significant historical example were Mondrian's
neoplasticism,and Le Corbusier buildings.But even in Mondrians work was
element of randomness,intentionally provoke suspense(Bugi-Vugi serial from
NYC,40-this,…to much randomness,to many blots).
I think that you wish people-machine who work perfect until they stop.One's
for ever,The End!(?)Plastic doll who you could bore when became nasty?
My humble experience with mechanism who investigate random/rule-tarot,and
similar discipline are para-scientist,worthless and extremely personal as an
experience and they're in strange co-relation with J.Koons
statement(paraphrase):"We have to be objective and reduce influence of
subconsiousnes."Which mean that we can see our self's in every sense of this
word(future,destiny,…)but what's the purpose?If you are afraid of concept
act like they doesn't existed.If you hate randomness there's no Superman
anymore(he broke his neck and die)to save us.It looks to me that we must
live with legs spread between random and predictable.See explanation of
card"Chariot",and legend about Medusa,Orpheus&Eurydice,emotions?:)
Cheers
MANIK


For me randomness, the concept, is a nightmare, it's quicksand, it is the
one thing i can think of that's worse then (pick any random worst horror).
The day Superman solves random we'll all go to heaven (yes, even you manik).

Try it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random
They (we) can't even get the wikipedia article straightened out.

sure, i mentioned your name 'cause you reacted rather noisily to my little announcement (the ussr thing). That's how social interaction on these lists works. No need to deconstruct the way you brush your teeth each time you brush your teeth (if you are in the habit of brushing your teeth)

i mentioned your name on my blog too (http://nkdee.blogspot.com) because i kinda like some of your work, so there'll be another 14 or so individuals on the planet who will know about it next week.

chill out sister, people are dying out there
