The Delhi-Meerut RRTS will pass through the densely populated sections of the NCR, connecting Delhi to Meerut in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The 82-kilometer corridor will provide safe, reliable, and high-capacity commuter transit services between various locations along the corridor.

Why wear a continuous glucose monitor?
Too much glucose in your bloodstream is toxic, too little is fatal. Our bodies prioritize by keeping us sick and alive (with obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes) in the former condition, and manufacturing glucose in the latter. Because of this, too much blood glucose is common, too little blood glucose is rare.
A continuous glucose monitor is another - provides minute by minute information about how the body handles this tightly controlled metabolite. Currently, these are used for people with diabetes (unfortunately a greater % of the population), eventually, as is being discussed, this technology may be embedded in the Apple Watch.
In terms of the product, I am fascinated by the color combinations chosen - the blue and yellow are clearly a complementary pair, making the device itself a color harmony.

Been a week, and it is hard to kick the habit -- dealing with flickr withdrawal symptoms...Hoping I could bear this self-imposed hiatus...but I have to prioritize some important things first.
This was taken on my trip to Bontoc and Sagada last February 6. It was a necessary stopover 20 kilometers to Bontoc since there was a stalled 10-wheeler truck ahead.
I also can't wait to go back (with the kids this time) on April 4 to Sagada, then to Bontoc on April 6 to witness the Lang-ay Festival in Bontoc on April 7.
Wanna join us?
Thanks for visiting my stream...
Good day!

April 2014, Port-au-Prince – As part of joint efforts between the United Nations and the Government of Haiti following the cholera outbreak in 2010, through medical support and improved access to potable water and sanitation, MINUSTAH supported the Direction Nationale de l’Eau Potable et de l’Assainissement (DINEPA) to install water filter systems and provide hygiene training in Cité Soleil. In 2016, the Secretary-General launched the New Approach to Cholera, which aims to eliminate the transmission of cholera and to provide material support to communities most affected by the disease. Since the peak of the outbreak in 2010, cholera rates have been reduced from over 18,500 suspected cases per week down to zero confirmed cases in the beginning of 2019. Zero transmission has been maintained for nearly seven consecutive months, as of August, proving that defeating cholera is possible. The provision of material support to most affected communities is ongoing in 25 of the hardest hit communities around the country. The Secretary-General continues to prioritize the New Approach to Cholera, calling on Member States to provide financial support.

This little bird came so close I almost couldn't focus on it. We were doing a hike through hot pastures and bush/ forest clad hills to a mountain lake. The birds like humans passing as we stir up the insects like sandflys who like human blood :)
New Zealand robins have demonstrated an ability to differentiate and prioritize food caches of varying sizes, up to 12 total items, without any training. In fact, these robins have the highest numerical competency of any recorded wild animal, which they can use to return to the biggest caches first, followed by less rewarding ones.(Wikipaedia)
Have a great weekend, we are just an hour off Saturday here.

No matter how much you love your friends and family, hosting them in your home can be tricky. How do you make them comfy without sacrificing your own space and routine? And what do you do if spare space in your home is at a premium?
Living with limited square footage doesn’t mean you should never host house guests. But you will have to come up with some big ideas to do so without a hitch—and, best of all, without traumatizing you or your visitors.
Place your guests strategically
Whether they’re using air mattresses, sleeping bags, or futons, prioritize your guests’ top needs: easy access to a bathroom and not being stepped over or woken up while they’re sleeping.
If providing both these things is impossible, “privacy definitely comes first,” says Tidy Tova, a professional organizer in New York City. “Unless it’s a grandparent who pees 10 times a night.”
Buy furniture that multitasks
If you live in a small space, you might not be able to squeeze in a guest bed—or even an air mattress. If you know you’re going to be hosting people from time to time, go ahead and invest in the right kind of furniture that can pull double duty.
“A pull-out couch is ideal for hosting guests subtly and conveniently,” Tova says. So is a big, comfy sofa.
And don’t stop with sleeping arrangements. Your guests will appreciate extra space wherever they can get it.
“There’s lot of furniture now—from ottomans to chairs—that have storage,” Tova adds. “Those are great for regular use and providing extra space for guests.”
If you have somewhere to store it when it’s not being used, you may also want to buy a folding privacy screen.
Clean up your entryway
Before your guests arrive, pay close attention to your entryway and areas by the door since they are the first things guests see, says Bridget James, senior professional organizer with the Organizing Professionals in Philadelphia. It couldn’t hurt to also wash your dog and get your rugs professionally scrubbed.
“Cleaning can go a long way in having your guests feel comfortable and happy during their visit,” James says.
Make a space for their suitcases
“Invest in a small unpacking solution that can double as a night table or foldable luggage rack so your guests can lay out their suitcase,” Tova says. (She likes the stackable, modular Stax products.)
Create the illusion of privacy…
Small space + thin walls = potential embarrassment when it comes to using the bathroom. To make everyone slightly less self-conscious, play light music in or around the bathroom, Tova advises.
… and space
Of course I have room for your things! That’s the idea you’re going for. To encourage that perception, clean out at least one drawer in your bedroom per guest. Then either buy a set of matching hangers they can use in your closet or double up your clothes on hangers so you have a few spare ones to share.
Clear off all flat surfaces
That includes kitchen counters, coffee tables, end tables, and TV consoles—if it’s horizontal, it should have nada on it.
“The less stuff that is lying around and taking up space, the more spacious and inviting the room will feel,” James says. “If you don’t love it, need it, or use it, it doesn’t deserve a place in your home.”
Not only will less clutter make your space seem larger, it will also reduce everyone’s stress level.
Transform your kitchen into a snack station
Did you really get everything off your counters? Because you’ll want plenty of space when you’re preparing and serving nonstop food and beverages.
Make it easier on yourself by designating an area for extra beverages and snacks, or a coffee station that includes mugs, a coffee pot or Keurig, sugar, and so on. That way, your guests can help themselves during the day.
Plan enough seating
Do a quick inventory before people arrive. Are all your sofas and chairs cleared off and ready to be used? Your space will feel even smaller if someone’s forced to sit on the floor.
If you need extra seating, set up folding chairs, James advises. True, it’s not fancy, but if your guests complain, they can go to a hotel, right?
Max out your use of baskets
You might not have enough cabinets or shelf space to share in your bathroom, but damn if you can’t put a trendy wicker or wire basket on the counter and shove everything in there.
Bonus: Displaying a selection of toothpaste, soaps, razors, cotton balls, hand lotion, and the like may prevent your guests from cluttering the counter with their own toiletries.
Add small touches
What would make your guests feel at home, besides extra blankets, clean pillows, and a clean set of towels? A bedside lamp or clip-on night light? Their favorite yogurt/coffee/contact lens solution? It’s these small gestures your guests will remember far more than the not-so-big space you have.

Governor Abercrombie signed the following bills:
House Bill 2052 (Relating to Provider Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment) increases access to Provider Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) by updating references from “physicians orders for life-sustaining treatment” to “provider orders for life-sustaining treatment.” The measure also expands health care provider signatory authority to include advance practice registered nurses and corrects inconsistencies of terms describing who may sign a POLST form on behalf of a patient.
House Bill 1616 (Relating to Health Planning) adds to the Hawaii State Planning Act’s objectives and policies for health, the identification of social determinants of health and prioritization of programs, services, interventions, and activities that address identified social determinants of health to improve Native Hawaiian health in accordance with federal law and reduce health disparities of disproportionately affected demographics.
House Bill 1723 (Relating to Psychiatric Facilities) amends the notice requirements for the discharge of an involuntary patient committed pursuant to legal proceeding involving fitness to proceed and requires the family court to conduct a timely hearing prior to the termination of a standing commitment order.
House Bill 2320 (Relating to Health) establishes health equity as a goal for the DOH and requires the DOH to consider social determinants of health in assessing health needs in the state. The measure is known as “Loretta’s Law” for the late DOH Director Loretta Fuddy, who was passionate proponent.
House Bill 2581 (Relating to Insurance) establishes the State Innovation Waiver Task Force and requires the task force to submit two interim reports and a final report to the legislature.
Senate Bill 2469 (Relating to Telehealth) requires equivalent reimbursement for services, including behavioral health services, provided through telehealth as for the same services provided via face-to-face contact between a health care provider and a patient. The measure also clarifies that health care providers for purposes of telehealth include primary care providers, mental health providers, oral health providers, physicians and osteopathic physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, psychologists, and dentists. For consistency purposes, the bill changes statutory references of “telemedicine” to “telehealth.”
House Bill 2400 (Relating to Temporary Disability Benefits) provides temporary disability benefits to employees who suffer disabilities as a result of donating organs.
Senate Bill 1233 (Relating to Leaves of Absence) requires certain private employers to allow employees to take leaves of absence for organ, bone marrow, or peripheral blood stem cell donation. Unused sick leave, vacation, or paid time off, or unpaid time off, may be used for these leaves of absence. The measure also requires employers to restore an employee returning from leave to the same or equivalent position and establishes a private right of action for employees seeking enforcement of provisions.

Product backlog, and product grooming
What is Product Backlog?
Product Backlog is a list of priority items in a project. This list consists of high priority items at the top and low priority items at the bottom. It is one of the three main artifacts that make Agile Development. With the help of product backlog, product owners create a prioritized list of features known as ‘User Stories’. This list can further evolve according to the situation. This product backlog can contain function requirements, non-function requirements, engineering requirements, and any feedback that you get from the stakeholders. Thus, product backlog is configured considering the vision of a product.
Agile Development (Scrum) favors the short succinct proclamation that represents the quintessence of a “necessity”. A product backlog is configured of following components:
• Knowledge acquisition
• Features
• Errors and problems
• Technical Work
Release Backlog
A subset of product backlogs is the release backlog. A release backlog consists of a list of minimum features that are required for the product to go into the market. You can think of it as a minimum eligibility criteria list for a product before releasing it. Depending on the specific needs of your organization, release backlogs can get ready within a range of few months to a year.
Sprint Backlog
A subset of release backlog is the sprint backlog. If you are a product owner, you will have the responsibility to supervise the manufacturing of the product. You will hold a meeting of the marketing team, domain experts, and other managing directors. The sprint backlog will be derived from the product requirements put forward by the team that you called.
When should be Product Backlog Re-Prioritized?
The team of stakeholders develops a vision for the product. From this vision, further requirements go into the product backlog. You will then give a business value to each of these requirements. These requirements will be very high-level requirements definitely. Once you will come up with a list of assets to assemble product backlog items. After this, you will identify your release backlog. Once you are through with this step, you will report to the scrum team. You will explain them the high-level requirements of the sprint backlog. The team will select appropriate requirements, and they will start the process of refining it even further. During the refining, they may include engineering requirements and other essential processes that are important to modify the release backlog. This will change the release backlog depending on customer priority, implementation difficulty, urgency of feedback, and other crucial factors
How to Write Product Backlog
Many people use ‘Story Cards’ in the industry. Users of the product write these story cards. These cards are comprised of description defining the features of the product. These descriptions are the result of the perception of the particular user. The format of a user story is; as a, I want so that
could be fulfilled.
The important concept when writing a user story is that you are able to slice the requirement vertically. This step will ensure a demonstrable output at the end of the script. As your product keeps maturing, you will start receiving numerous feedbacks from the customers. It may become very difficult to prioritize items on the product backlog immediately. This is why experts divide feedbacks into three main stages
• Raw Feedback: This is the category that you can keep vaguely
• Prioritized Feedback: This is the category that you can use to eliminate some of the raw feedbacks. You can select a few of these that you consider as valid for the vision of your product
• Moving to the Product Backlog: On this stage, you can move vivid feedbacks to the backlog
These stages will help you to maintain your product backlog.
Product Backlog Grooming
A backlog requires maintenance and consideration. During the initiation stage, the Scrum Team and Product owner begin by conceptualizing and recording all the points that they consider important. A product backlog requires consistent changes such as adding and portraying new things, changing or discarding existing things, and the process of re-evaluating passages.
While utilizing the Scrum Framework, it is essential to save 10% of the Scrum Team’s aggregate time for Product backlog’s maintenance.
A well-maintained backlog can solve many problems. Back in old days, the product backlog was just a list of things that the scrum team kept remembering. The firms and industries soon realized the importance of grooming the product backlog.
Grooming a product backlog involves a handful of separate actions. Firstly, new items can be added to the product backlog. Usually, the product owners and the scrum team are responsible for this. The product owners would require a rough estimate of time from the team. This rough estimate of time is the time needed to prepare that item. If it is not going to take longer to develop, the product owner may want it immediately. If that item will take a long time to develop, they will move ahead on the list.
Secondly, the step of re-prioritizing product backlog follows. Sometimes, an angry customer may demand some features. In such situations, that particular feature is moved up and given the preference. Thirdly, the action of splitting larger backlog items into smaller ones comes into play. As the items near to the top of the backlog, it is important for it to be small enough so the team can finish it in a single sprint. Therefore, this part of backlog grooming involves the discussion of how to minimize the technical efforts required completing the task.
How to Estimate Product Backlog?Estimating a product backlog is part of the release planning process. A product backlog is a repository of everything that the product owner would like to have created. Experts commonly used two different ways for estimating their product backlogs.
The first method is called estimation by analogy. It is an important technique that you can rely on when finding real estimates. In this method, you can compare the thing being estimated to some other thing. You might, for example, compare the time of reading a book with another if you know the size and time taken to complete the book. You can recall how long it took you to complete a specific book, and then you can increase or decrease that amount of time by considering the size of the book that is to be estimated.
Another technique is the precise calculation. You can first think about the size of the work, estimate your pace through the work, and then divide to come up with the precise estimate of the duration. Both of the methods work great if done with extreme precision.
Some Useful Tips:
Maintaining a product backlog is not as simple as it looks. Many Scrum teams and product owners struggle with details and features of the backlogs. These vital tips will help you deal with product backlogs proficiently.
• Make a blueprint for product backlogs and implement on it
• Prioritize your backlog considering next product launch
• Work with the development team
• Keep your backlog simple to read
• Do not only rely on user stories. Think outside the box yourself.

Resist the temptation to swim in the Rhine River, no matter how appealing it might seem on a hot day. While the idea of a refreshing dip might cross your mind, the reality is that the Rhine poses significant dangers that make swimming incredibly risky. It's crucial to prioritize your safety and understand why entering these waters is strongly advised against.
The primary danger of the Rhine lies in its powerful and unpredictable currents. Even experienced swimmers can be quickly overwhelmed by the sheer force of the river, which can pull you under or sweep you away in an instant. Furthermore, the Rhine is a major shipping lane, meaning large vessels constantly traverse its waters. These ships create strong undertows and waves that can disorient and endanger anyone in the water, and their immense size makes it impossible for them to stop or maneuver quickly to avoid swimmers.
Beyond the immediate dangers of currents and shipping traffic, the Rhine's water quality can also be a concern, with potential pollutants from industrial and agricultural runoff. Therefore, for your own safety and well-being, it's essential to find alternative ways to cool off and enjoy the water. Stick to designated swimming areas, public pools, or other safe recreational spots where you can swim without fear for your life.

İstanbul bir Laboratuvar mı?

Social Art and
Its Contemporary Dynamics
Is Istanbul a Laboratory?
Hasan Bülent Kahraman
The transition from the twentieth to twenty-first century did not only
refer
to a temporal continuity and it wasn't happening by nature. Continuity
of time was going to bring us to the twenty-first century anyway. On the
other hand, the twenty-first century was also bringing us to the concept
of "millennium," which had an importance in Western metaphysics.
Since human relationships are based on transforming nature on a cultural
platform through intellectual effort, and humanity struggles to overcome
and restrain the nature on these levels, the twentieth century gives way to
the twenty-first century on the verge to a profound intellectual break.
During the transition to the twenty-first century, the most important issue
was the great criticism against the idea of modernity and the grand split
it undergoes. During the twentieth century, using different methods, all
nations agreed on the notion of modernization that was in some sense
developed as the homogenization of humanity and can be summarized
as installing Western metaphysics into 'outsider' societies but the result
was the same: a systematic formation that prioritizes and is led by the
government. This transformation would be based on two big pillars:
refusal of the past, along with the complete cultural baggage if necessary,
and the reconstruction of the subjects, the human beings towards the
guidance of the government.
This method, which can be described as the abolition of the subject,
made it natural for the great totalitarian regimes to appear. The twentieth
century means millions of people abolished by those regimes.
During the evolution towards the twenty-first century, the first
protestations were against the hegemony of the radical rationality
that had built this system. Because, post-Weber bureaucracy with a
government and organon was the concentration point of rationality. In
the end, the Cartesian radical rationality was the imprisonment of human
consciousness in the human consciousness itself. With this appreciation,
science as a tool to control nature had turned into a superior category
that left no space for the subjectivity of the individual.
The re-emergence of the subject, and its desire to bring forward the sum
of values hidden inside it is a problem of identity. Of course, politics of
memory and space can be added to that. The Proust-esque memory as
'remembering today' and the coincidences and spontaneities that makes
it work was replaced by a remembering policy that offered multiple
choices and multiple consciousnesses. A Bergsonian integrity of time
was no longer needed either.
Within this new appreciation, subjects were the individuals who would
build their own existence with their own willpower.
Such an assent did not only drive back the notion of state, but it also
brought forward the notion of publicum, the sense of community. This
innovation begins with the replacement of the notion of society with
societies. We can also call these communities. Once the communities
emerged, spatial politics changed firstly. The vertical depth of the space
that contained the homogeneous and uniform humans now was going
to be replaced with a horizontal span that meant varieties living together.
These varieties living together in a narrow area without conflicting but
"rubbing" to each other created the new forms of social space.
On the other hand the space the communities have been created is now
only topological, it's not a notion that directly belongs to the "ground."
The twenty-first century has unexpectedly found itself in an almost scary
virtuality with the innovations electronic media has created. The "crowd"
Plato heavily criticized in the context of "theatricality" in his last
dialogue
Nomo, is not only in the amphitheatre or agora anymore. It is everywhere.
Furthermore, what's produced now is not "common thoughts" anymore;
it is the "uncommon" thoughts.
What does art represent in this structure?
The answer is hidden in two points. First, this stadium is a matter
of democracy. A pluralist democracy that is based on varieties and
nourished by interaction is not a utopia but a reality for the twenty-first
century. Secondly, if we can talk about this kind of democracy, then the
relationship between art and community will also turn into another phase.
The new phase of the relationship between art and community makes
the visibility of art inevitable. As a form of production that is pluralist
and based on varieties, art is the reference point of this new sense
of community. This new sense of community cannot evolve naturally
by itself. It needs to important devices to align and direct. Intellectual
production and its alignments and directions are the constative powers of
artistic expression. The new democracy has to be inspired by democratic
theory and though on every step. Similarly the dynamic and constantly
changing texture of art is necessary for the formation of an astatic
democratic platform. This pursuit emerging within the new urban texture
is a matter in itself.
The new global capital is building new cities. This is a new urban texture
that allows the inner movement and liquidity of the capital. The most
important aspect of the new city is that it is gentrified. This is not a
choice
but a need in terms of the new capital, because the new city is also the
realization of a certain aesthetic visuality.
Performing gentrification through new artistic institutions is a wise
choice.
The income produced by new museums, art spaces and galleries is a
planned and systematic application. This means that art creates a new
policy of circulation on the grounds of the city. This art that meets the
expectations of upper classes still has its own critical, social identity.
More importantly, art should interrelate with large communities. That
kind of art will have the real critical power. That kind of art is a field
of
resistance itself. With this aspect, it is sure that the relationship
between
art and community will appear as opposition and resistance. A "real"
democracy is only real as long as it gives the opportunity to oppose
and resist. This is why the relationship between art and community is a
necessity and expectation today, more than ever.
Having the characteristics of a metropolis in any aspect, Istanbul
is an important laboratory in this sense. The capital it attracts, the
transformation it undergoes, and finally the artistic activity and
production
articulated to these turns Istanbul into a new focal point that needs to
be observed in a new way. It is sure that we are witnessing a phase that
the relations between capital and politics are turning into the relations
between capital and art. But the real question is, within the
gentrification
it undergoes, how much place Istanbul will give to artistic discourse. Will
this art form a platform of resistance in the social grounds that remains
from the transformation areas with a global architectural language; or
will those "new" areas actually open a door for the pluralist, variable,
provocative art?
A city, which has never been close to the language of social art in any
way, even today, is going to determine its character as much as it
answers these questions while it globalizes.

İstanbul bir Laboratuvar mı?
Hasan Bülent Kahraman
20. yüzyıldan 21. yüzyıla geçiş sadece zamansal bir sürekliliğe işaret
etmiyor ve bir doğallıkla gerçekleşmiyordu. Zamanın kendi sürekliliği doğal
olarak bizi 21. yüzyıla taşıyacaktı. Kaldı ki, 21. yüzyıl aynı zamanda Batı
metafiziğinde çok önemli bir yeri olan "bin yıl" kavramına da açılıyordu.
İnsan ilişkileri doğallığın kültürel bir platformda ve zihinsel çabalarla
dönüştürülmesine dayandığından ve bütün insanlık çabası o doğallığı bu
düzlemlerde aşmak, hatta dizginlemek olduğundan 20. yüzyıl yerini 21.
yüzyıla çok derin bir düşünsel kırılmanın eşiğinde bıraktı.
21. yüzyıla girilirken en önemli olgu modernite düşüncesinin aldığı
büyük eleştiri ve yaşadığı büyük parçalanmaydı. Bir manada insanlığı
homojenleştirme olarak geliştirilmiş ve Batı metafiziğinin "dışarıdaki"
toplumlara yerleştirilmesi olarak özetlenebilecek bu modernleşme
anlayışını, her ulus 20. yüzyıl boyunca belki farklı yöntemlerle kabul etti
ama sonuç aynıydı: devlet öncelikli ve devlet önderliğinde sistematik bir
dönüşüm. Bu dönüşüm iki büyük taşıyıcı üstüne oturacaktı: geçmişin,
gerekirse bütün kültürel bagajla birlikte reddi ve öznenin yani insan
tekinin
devletin güdümü doğrultusunda yeniden kurgulanması.
Öznenin ortadan kaldırılması olarak da adlandırılabilecek bu metot
büyük totaliter rejimlerin çıkmasını doğallaştırıyordu. 20. yüzyıl o
rejimler
tarafından ortadan kaldırılmış milyonlarca insan demektir.
21. yüzyıla evrilirken ilk itiraz bu sistematiği kuran radikal
rasyonalitenin
hegemonyasına yönelikti. Çünkü, Weber sonrasında devlet ve organon'u
olan bürokrasi rasyonalitenin temerküz noktasıydı. Descartesçı radikal
rasyonalite son kertede insan bilincinin, gene insan bilincine tutsak
edilmesiydi. Doğayı kontrol aracı olarak öne çıkan bilim bu anlayışta
bireyin öznelliğine yer bırakmayan bir üst kategoriye dönüşmüştü.
Öznenin yeniden ortaya çıkması ve kendisinde saklı olan değerler
bütününü öne almak istemesi bir kimlik problemidir. Buna elbette hafıza
ve mekan politikaları eklenebilir. "Bugünde hatırlamak" olan Proustgil
hafıza ve onun işlemesine olanak sağlayan tesadüfler, kendiliğindenlikler,
yeni anlayışta çok seçmeci ve çok bilinçli bir anımsama politikasıyla terk
ediliyordu. Artık Bergsoncu bir zaman bütünlüğüne de gerek yoktu.
Özne kendi varlığını kendi iradesiyle kuracak kişiydi yeni algı içinde.
Böyle bir kabul sadece devlet kavramının hızla geri itilmesine yol açmakla
kalmadı. Publicum yani toplumsallık (Türkçedeki yanlış çevirisiyle
'kamusallık') olgusunu da yeniden öne itti. Bu yenilenme daha önceki
anlayışta tek olan toplum/kamu kavramının yerini toplumlar kavramına
bırakmasıyla başlar. toplumlar dediğimiz şeye topluluklar (communities)
demek de mümkündür. Topluluklar bir kere ortaya çıktı mı ilk elde mekan
politikaları değişecekti. Mekanın homojen ve üniform insanı barındıran
dikey derinliği şimdi yerini farklılıkların bir arada bulunması anlamına
gelen
bir yatay genişliğe bırakacaktı. Dar bir alanda birbiriyle çatışmayan ama
birbiriyle "sürtünen", öylelikle de etkileşen farklılıkların bir arada
bulunması
toplumsal alanın yeni formlarını meydana getiriyor şimdi.
Buna mukabil toplumsalın oluştuğu mekan artık sadece topolojik,
doğrudan doğruya "yere"/zemine ait bir olgu değil. 21. yüzyıl hiç
beklemediği bir şekilde kendisini elektronik medyanın sağladığı
yeniliklerle
birlikte neredeyse ürküntü veren bir sanallık içinde buldu. Plato'nun
"tiyatrosallık" bağlamında, son diyaloğu Nomo'ide şiddetle eleştirdiği
"güruh" şimdi sadece amfitiyatroda veya agora'da değil. Her yerde.
Sadece tiyatroya gidenler arasında değil iletişim ve ortak düşünce
oluşturma yetisi. Her yerde. Üstelik üretilen artık "ortak düşünce" değil
"ortak olmayan" düşüncelerdir.
Böyle bir yapı içinde sanat ne ifade eder?
Sorunun cevabı iki noktada gizli. Birincisi, bu stadium demokrasiyle
ilgili bir meseledir. Çoğulcu, farklılıklara dayalı, karşılıklı
etkileşimlerden
beslenen bir demokrasi 21. yüzyılın ütopyası değil realitesidir. İkincisi,
eğer böyle bir demokratik durumdan söz açılabiliyorsa, o takdirde, sanat-
toplumsallık ilişkisi de yeni bir evreye geçecektir.
Sanat-toplumsallık ilişkisinin yeni evresi sanatın görünürlüğünü
kaçınılmazlaştırıyor. Kendisi çoğulcu, kendi içinde farklılığa dayalı bir
üretim olan sanat, bu özellikleriyle, yeni toplumsallığın nirengi
noktasıdır.
Yeni toplumsallık kendi kendine, doğal bir şekilde gelişemez. İki önemli
hiza ve istikamet aracına ihtiyaç duyar. Zihinsel üretim ve ona bağlı
düzeltmeler, yol göstermelerle sanatsal ifadenin saptayıcı gücü. Yani, yeni
demokrasi her aşamada demokratik kuram ve düşünceden bazı esinler
almak zorundadır. Aynı şekilde sanatın dinamik ve sürekli değişen dokusu
statik olmayan bir demokratik platformun oluşması bakımından zaruridir.
Böyle bir arayışın yeni kentsel doku içinde can bulması başlı başına bir
konu olacaktır.
Yeni ve küresel sermaye yeni kentler inşa ediyor. Sermayenin iç hareketini
sağlayacak, akışkanlığını sürekli kılacak bir yeni kentsel dokudur bu.
Yeni kentin en önemli özelliği mutenalaşmasıdır. Bu bir tercih değil yeni
sermaye bakımından ihtiyaçtır. Çünkü, yeni kent aynı zamanda belli bir
estetik görselliğin realizasyonudur.
Mutenalaşmanın yeni sanatsal kurumlar üstünden yapılması akıllıca bir
iştir. Yeni müzelerin, yeni sanat kurumlarının, galerilerin meydana
getirdiği
alanların ürettiği rant planlı ve sistematik bir uygulamadır. Bu sanatın
kentsel zeminde yeni bir dolaşım politikası yaratmasına tekabül ediyor.
Daha üst sınıfların ve daha güçlü sermaye kesiminin beklentilerine yanıt
veren bu sanat her şeye rağmen kendisine ait bir eleştirel, toplumsal
kimliğe sahiptir.
Ama ondan daha önemlisi sanatın geniş toplumsallıklarla ilişki kurmasıdır.
Asıl eleştirel güç o sanattın elinde olacaktır. Bu özelliği taşıyan sanatın
kendisi bir direniş alanıdır. Böylesi bir özelliğiyle sanat ve toplumsallık
ilişkisinin muhalefet ve direniş olarak belireceği muhakkak. "Gerçek" bir
demokrasi de muhalefet ve direniş olanağı sağladığı ölçüde hakikattir.
Bu bakımdan sanatın toplumsallıkla/kamusallıkla ilişkisi bugün her
zamankinden daha ziyade bir ihtiyaç, bir zaruret ve bir beklentidir.
Yeni metropol özelliklerini her bakımdan taşıyan İstanbul bu açıdan
önemli bir laboratuvar bugün. Bir yandan çektiği sermaye, diğer yandan
yaşadığı dönüşüm, nihayet bunlarla eklemlenmiş sanatsal etkinlik ve
üretim İstanbul'u ayrı bir gözle bakılması gereken bir odağa dönüştürüyor.
Sermaye siyaset ilişkilerinin şimdi sermaye-sanat ilişkilerine dönüştüğü
bir evreye tanıklık ettiğimiz muhakkak. Ama asıl soru yaşadığı soylulaşma
içinde İstanbul'un kentsel mekan olarak ne ölçüde sanatsal söyleme
yer vereceğidir. Küresel bir mimarlık dilinin öne çıktığı büyük dönüşüm
alanlarından arta kalan toplumsal zeminde mi bu sanat bir direniş
platformu oluşturacaktır; yoksa bizatihi o "yeni" mekanlar da çoğulcu,
değişken, tahrik eden bir sanata kapı aralayacak mıdır?
Hiçbir biçimde, bugün dahi, toplumsal sanat diline ve gerçeğine yakın
durmamış, onu tanımamış bir kent, küreselleşirken bu soruları cevapladığı
oranda karakterini tayin edecektir.
