This was taken for a Weekly Photo Challenge - theme "ISOLATION"
It was taken in open moorland near where I used to live.
The seat is in memory of Ron who sadly passed away in 2007.
Apparantly, he loved the ISOLATION as well as the peace and quiet of the place
a little bit of PS work (OK, a lot) and you'd hardly notice the 6-piece stitch
a pano of our home for the night in SA's lonely outback - another one from me and my brother's roadtrip to the interior
this was literally the only place for miles and miles and miles. we'd been driving most of the day with only a few scattered homesteads along the way.
this old settler's cabin had been done up for anyone and everyone to stay for the night. hey, it's not like there was anywhere else, so we were grateful even for the concrete floor (after we'd cleared the bird and mice crap!).
i think there may be a few more posts of this place - i loved the sheer isolation of it!
repost: colours "jacked up" a little at Chritalpics request =)
Massive isolation platform for my turntable cabinet. Designed to reduce the effect of external vibrations. Constructed with wood framing, hardboard top and bottom panels and filled with sand for mass.
This photo shows the sand in the frame. The sand was packed, then scraped to a level flush with the frame. The holes in the frame at right are so that more sand can be added if there is significant compaction due to vibrations.
Alone in the Crowd , both wired for sound , he listens to the Cure and she has Emimem on . Just two citizens of the Republic of East Vancouver going about their business
Learning new ways to use my camera to document myself. Something I've did during my 29 months of homelessness, but I was more documenting what I was going through, situations I was dealing with and obstacles I had to get over. I wasn't really documenting me. I know that may seem crazy but I guess what I saying is, this time the camera is pointed at me. I'm pointing the camera at me.

本次展覽為非常廟藝文空間(以下簡稱VT)與德國藝術公寓(Apartment Of Art)三年計劃之一。兩年前VT與德國藝術公寓總監-拉斯科樸索(Lars Koepsel)為推廣台灣及德國兩地藝術家與藝術空間之間的交流，締訂為期三年合作計畫。兩地空間每年交換合作藝術家展覽、策展人、藝術家駐村等三階段合作方式。本次展覽檔期為計畫中的第二年，由德國藝術公寓總監-拉斯科樸索推薦新媒體藝術團隊「M+M」首度來台展出。
德國「M+M」為Marc Weis 和 Martin De Mattia 兩人所組成的新媒體科技藝術團隊，M+M多年來持續於國際間進行展演計畫。過去重要展覽節錄：1999年在義大利羅馬的Villa Massimo進行為期一年的駐村計畫，同年於威尼斯雙年展「義大利國家館」展出。2003年於ZKM卡爾斯魯厄藝術與媒體中心展出，2006年參加Lintz科技藝術節以及2015於盧森堡casino個展。
「M+M」兩位藝術家長期關注媒體中所產生的語彙，並分析影像媒體之間的運作，結合大眾社會對於影像媒體的交互機制，透過電影中畫面擷取並使用非線性的敘事方式，將虛構與現實的影像內容混合處理，作品內容帶有強烈情感，如恐懼、仇恨、愛情等，並透過虛實間的差異成為新的敘事方式。
本次將於VT展出系列作品「7 Tage」中兩件新作《Dienstag (Tuesday)》&《Freitag (Friday》，兩位藝術家挑選兩部經典電影-理髮師的男人(The hairdresser’s husband)與黑影(Tenebre)作為本次創作素材，作品影像中運用電影畫面對應一週的七天，並運用電影裡擷取部分畫面拼湊成每一天的生活景象，兩位藝術家各自將自行剪輯的影像運用雙投影同步裝置將兩影像並置，在大多數情況下，觀者將會看到這兩位藝術家都不約而同的就其類似情感內容做出對應畫面，細膩的處理家庭、人際關係以及生活中不確定性及矛盾狀態，擺盪在兩個非線性影像原件和翻拍之間的矛盾對抗。展覽中另外一件作品《kurz vor fünf (shortly before five)》則是將自2001年以來「7 Tage」系列中出現的電影場景運用電腦運算重新將影格輸出成290幀於平面畫面中，透過影像運算將3分多鐘影像畫面獨立，觀眾將可以發現運算過後的場景照片故事都在同一天的同一時間地點，透過運算影像畫面將可以看到不同的時間影像畫面聚落成同一影像，讓觀者重新於平面畫面重新審視影像中孤獨個體的趣味。
「7 Tage」系列作品自2009年來，逐段完成每段錄像影片，並於2015年發表了最新兩部新作《Dienstag (Tuesday)》&《Freitag (Friday》。本系列影像之中，除了相同的其他演員重複出現外，來自奧地利的演員Christoph Luser以精湛的演技表現出憂鬱詭譎的情緒變化，而體現了主角矛盾的異型建構的心理，投射非常輕微情緒以及揭示了人際關係中裂縫和固有的矛盾變化，無論是任何威脅與衝突的情緒反應，將在看似平靜的畫面帶來暗潮洶湧般的相互作用。

M+M has various international exhibition experience , which includes: the one-year residency program in Villa Massimo, Rome, Italy, back in 1999 and exhibited their work in Venice Biennale in the same year. They have also exhibited at ZKM in 2003 and participated the Ars Electronica Lintz in 2006. Their latest exhibition was at Casino, Luxembourg.
“M+M” have been focusing on the vocabulary produced from the media work, and analyze the operation between image media. They combined the public social consume system, and use non-way to describe things. They used film making skills such as camera movements and cuts to mix-up the fictional and the realistic image content. And also find out the new way to describe things through the difference between the fiction and reality.
”M+M” will be exhibit their new works in “7 Tage” (7 Days)series, which are 《Dienstag (Tuesday)》and《Freitag (Friday) 》. The artists picked two classic movie, includes《The hairdresser’s husband》and《Tenebre》as the elements. They named their works as“7 Tage” (7 Days), and make the image in their works able to correspond in 7 days a week. They have also excerpt some of the classic scenes from the epic movie as the everyday life in their works. From the artists remakes, cuts and the main actor’s view and mind changing from time to time; audience will get the new visual experience to re-conduct with the double projection device. The viewer will also find out the against between two non-linear original videos and conversion with the double channel device. And the other works named《kurz vor fünf (shortly before five)》in this exhibition have combined the movie scene and the computer operations and re-export the file fragmentation into 290 as a 2D picture. With the computer operations, they separated every scene in three minutes, which audience will find out the picture and the story are all at the same place and the same time in everyday. By gathering the video scene into on image, the viewers will discover the fun part in the isolation.
They have been shooting the ”7 Tage” series works for 7 years from 2009, and have also released the latest new works in recent, named 《Dienstag (Tuesday)》&《Freitag (Friday). The audience will get to see some of the actors repeatedly and the actor from Austria -Christoph Luse’s excellent performance skill, which he interpreted and showed the sad and odd emotional changes to incarnate the main character’s inconsistent mind structure.

# 148 / 365 . . . There's a certain corridor that had a completely different feel to it in the asylum. The first door on the right had a small sign attached to it that read "TREATMENT ROOM". The additional rooms within this corridor were specifically housed by the criminally insane and very mentally ill. The patients that were a complete threat to themselves or others were housed in isolation by themselves for 23.5 hours of every day. They ate in their cells. They were hosed down in their cells. They were only allowed outside of their cell for 30 minutes each day and even then, it was under very strict supervision. The solid steel doors were insanely heavy and thick. There were two sets of locks on the outside of each door and the bars on the windows were thick and plentiful. They were allowed a cot in their cell and that was it. If you were not severely mentally insane before you were locked in a cell like this, I'm almost certain you would become severely insane after a very short period of time.
"A new way to do lobotomies was rendered brand new and discovered by Dr. Walter Freeman right in Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. The procedure quickly gained popularity. After experimenting with new ways to do these brain surgeries, Dr. Freeman formulated a new procedure dubbed the 'transorbital lobotomy'. It was very quick and quite inexpensive to perform. Dr. Freeman charged $25.00 per procedure. This new procedure at Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum became known as the 'icepick lobotomy' among staff members. A metal pick that very much resembled an ice pick was inserted into the corner of each eye socket. Dr. Freeman would begin moving the ice pick back and forth severing the connection to the prefrontal cortex in the frontal lobes of the brain. This is the area that is known to cause emotion and aggression. During a small 2-week period in 1952 in West Virginia, Dr. Freeman performed 228 transorbital lobotomies through a state sponsored lobotomy project that was known as 'Operation: Ice Pick'.
Other treatments that patients were forced to succumb to included electroshock therapy, 2-hour long ice baths, insulin shock therapy, exorcisms, solitary confinement and rotational therapy.
My life feels so derailed and it's not getting better. I do lots of praying and lots of crying. Been burning so much sage the smell is in my hair.
I said to friends that I feel like I'm at a rodeo I'm not at all familiar with, after really I feel like I'm in a boxing match with the heavy weight champion of the world and I'm getting the shit beat out of me.
I feel like I've aged so much in a matter of days, shaved years off my life and I did everything right. I was adherent to care, never missed a dose of medication, unless I didn't have access to it and this time not having access to it could very well end my life or I'm going to have to deal with other medical things I've never dealt with before and have no history of in my family.
The only thing this has to do with Covid is that everything cannot be focused on it. Especially when millions are already battling other conditions.

'Isolation Still Life Series' ‘Sheet’ April 2nd 2020. I am taking the opportunity to make some still lives while isolating at home during the Covid-19 outbreak. A form of photographic diary; this work attempts to reflect our shared sense of uncertainty and alienation. Representing a fresh familiarity with the domestic, and the revelatory appearance of objects we live with daily; which have taken on a metaphorical weight they seemed to lack before. Shot on 4x5 sheet film and processed at home.
He grabbed his cowl, probably to hide his face. He believes that crying is the biggest weakness that a man has.
B: I think I should know if I can handle another blow Diana. Think what you want, he is staying by my side. Nightwing, c'mon, we have patrols to do.
And with that, he left. Personally I think he is doing the right thing, but for the wrong reasons. He is trying to fill a void with this new Robin, only to fill the hole that Damian and Jason left. This isn't going to be easy......
And this is what that near-pitch black picture was for. I'm doing a little series about Batman and the Justice League, mainly the mysterious new Robin, and two already dead? Whaaaaa???
Also, I'm still fleshie for Batman, just using some new yellow parts for this little series. :D
