Sending off morning. Mum, I leaving for a year or so. I hope my room doesn't change much.
But the inevitable has to be accepted. I'm 24 hours flight-time away from home.
Hold on while I touch the sky.
Photo from the Govan Together Govan Armada Boat Building Workshop, part of 'Nothing about us without us is for us.'
'Nothing about us without us is for us' was a public art event using obsolete technology to hurl language across Glasgow's River Clyde. Organised and conceived by artists TS Beall and Matt Baker, the project commissioned 15 artists to partner with 18 local organisations. Together, they delivered 6 weeks of activities, culminating in an event on Saturday 28 April, 2012 where over 1500 people sang, shouted, and sailed across the Clyde. Visitors to the Glasgow International Festival were invited to the Govan waterfront to participate in transmissions using human megaphones, siege engines, string-and-cup telephones, messages-in-bottles (‘The Govan Armada’), choral serenades, and more…

OFFF is a cutting-edge festival exploring the latest in digital aesthetics and software language. OFFF festival brings together the artists that are breaking ground and shaping new standards in media and design, becoming the essential meeting point for the international scene of digital creation. OFFF is the only event of this kind.
Since 2001, OFFF festival has been held in Barcelona- Spain, becoming the globally recognized and trendsetting event it is today. This November 2007, OFFF festival will also be held in New York City, at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center.
The three-day festival showcases top digital artists, web, print and interactive designers, motion graphics studios, and new music adventurous. OFFF festival provides insight into all culture media platforms. OFFF dreams about the digital future, and then writes the code for it.
Over 60 international artists meet at OFFF festival. They include legends of graphic design and visual communication such as Neville Brody, Stefan Sagmeister, Tomato and Kyle Cooper; recognized software artists such as Jared Tarbell, and Daniel Brown; explorers of advanced interaction like James Paterson & Amit Pitaru, John Maeda and Craig Swann; innovators of the moving image like We Work For Them, Motion Theory, Buck and Renascent; and the most important names that have defined the aesthetics of the experimental and creative side of the Web: Joshua Davis, Yugo Nakamura, Josh Ulm, Hillman Curtis and Erik Natzke.
These artists come to OFFF not only to share their latest works and techniques, but also to artistically explore in this limit-free environment. OFFF is more than a design conference, a multimedia trade fair, and a digital animation festival -- OFFF is three days for artists to play, work, enjoy, and experiment. They do so while mingling with the audience; thus creating the unique and indescribable gathering that makes OFFF what it is.

"CANADIAN BANANA REPUBLIC WITH BABOONS AND MONKEYS AND COCKROACHES"
By the way,
Professor Emeritus Robert Kimbrough / Lecturer / Teacher / Author / Authorite has proved and demonstrated that he is the very manifestation and embodiment of "The Bloody Racist Nigger" that the Third World Writer Chinua Achebe is writing about.
I take exception the the demarcation and division and segregation of the World into First World and Second World and Third-World when any blind fool knows that there is ONLY ONE WORLD.
So it is very accurate and fair and realistic to see and despise Kimbrough as a Racist Slave-Driver because, he, in the year 2000 is using and preaching the hate-filled language of his Prophets and Elders and Scribes and Dictators and their books and learning and is brain-washing others with that venomous poison.
I am so fortunate to never have had any preacher, teacher, lecturer, professor, who used the term and justified the term and the usage of the term: THE THIRD-WORLD and THIRD-WORLD PEOPLE, and THIRD-WORLD NATIONS, THIRD-WORLD COUNTRIES, AND THIRD-WORLD CONTINENTS and THIRD-WORLD RACES and THIRD-WORLD-TRIBES.
It is very fitting and deserving that he be shamed with the Noun, COCKROACH, A Bloody Racist Cockroach. This kind of Brain-washing is inexcusable and intolerable and uncivilized for it is hateful and Barbaric and Brutish.
Yet this kind of racist demeaning and degrading labeling and segregation is is the same foul-breath and breadth as those Lobbying American Politicians who preach to their Brothers and Sisters and Brethren about "People from Shit-Hole Countries" and "Shit-Hole-People" (President Donald Trump).

Urmia (Turkish language: Urmu, Urmiyə, اورمیه; farsi: ارومیه) variously translitterated as Oroumiyeh, Orūmīyeh and Urūmiyeh, is a city in and the capital of West Azerbaijan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 577,307, with 153,570 households.
The city lies at an altitude of 1,330 m above sea level on the Shahar Chay river (City River). Urmia is the 10th most populated city in Iran. The population is mainly mainly Azerbaijanian Turkish(85-90%), with Kurdish, Assyrian Christian, and Armenian minorities.
Urmia is situated on a fertile plain called Urmia Plain, on western side of Lake Urmia; and eastern side of Turkish border and marginal range of mountains.
Urmia is the trade center for a fertile agricultural region where fruit (especially Apple and Grape) and Tobacco are grown. An important town by the 9th cent., Urmia was seized by the Seljuk Turks (1184), and later occupied a number of times by the Ottoman Turks.

J. R. R. Tolkien was not only a novelist but a philologist, a scholar of ancient languages, and a quiet architect of myth. His imagination moved in deep geological layers, where language, legend, and landscape grew together like roots in the same dark soil. He believed that myth was not mere invention but a form of memory, a way in which cultures preserve truths that cannot be expressed plainly.
Tolkien’s worldview was shaped by several currents: the Anglo-Saxon and Norse sagas he studied professionally; his experience of the First World War, which left him with a lasting sense of loss and the fragility of beauty; and his Catholic faith, which gave his stories a moral gravity without turning them into allegory. He was drawn to themes of decline, endurance, and the long twilight of civilisations. In Middle-earth, splendour is always touched by fading light.
In The Lord of the Rings these ideas appear not as philosophy but as landscape and event. The Mines of Moria, Khazad-dûm, and the Chamber of Mazarbul are not merely settings for adventure; they are ruins filled with memory. Stone remembers. Echoes carry history. The Fellowship walks not only through tunnels but through the remnants of pride, craftsmanship, and catastrophe.
Your prompts focus on these moments of threshold and descent:
the Doors of Durin, where language itself becomes the key;
the vast halls of Khazad-dûm, where scale turns travellers into passing shadows;
and the Chamber of Mazarbul, where the past speaks through broken records and silent bones.
Photographically imagined, these scenes invite a paradox: the precision of the lens meeting the immeasurable weight of legend. It is as if a modern camera were lowered into a mine where time itself is layered like sediment.
Poem
In the Halls Beneath the Mountain
The doors were closed for centuries,
yet the moon still traced their lines,
silver fingers on sleeping stone.
A word spoken softly
unfastened an age.
Inside, the air held memory
like dust suspended in still water.
Footsteps stirred it.
History breathed again.
Pillars rose like a forest turned to granite,
and far away, in chambers unlit by any sun,
something ancient shifted,
as if fire itself had learned patience.
The bridge was narrow.
The abyss had no bottom.
And courage, that fragile lantern,
burned brightest at the edge of night.
Haikus
Moonlight on stone doors
A single word opens night
Echo answers breath
Endless pillars fade
Footsteps small in vaulted dark
Ash remembers fire
A bridge over void
Flame and shadow meet in wind
Silence falls like snow
UNICODE 5.1.0 meets Or-Omcode∞.1.0
Unicode represents the Tower ob Babel en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel In computing, Unicode is an industry standard allowing computers to consistently represent and manipulate text expressed in most of the world's writing systems. Developed in tandem with the Universal Character Set standard and published in book form as The Unicode Standard, Unicode consists of a repertoire of more than 100,000 characters, a set of code charts for visual reference, an encoding methodology and set of standard character encodings, an enumeration of character properties such as upper and lower case, a set of reference data computer files, and a number of related items, such as character properties, rules for normalization, decomposition, collation, rendering and bidirectional display order (for the correct display of text containing both right-to-left scripts, such as Arabic or Hebrew, and left-to-right scripts). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UniCode
