In “Respiro”, I will be reaching out beyond geopolitics to a more expansive context of a million plus years, going back to the creation of the universe and the beginning of time, back to the first-ever rainbow – the very first magical breaking point of light. Instead of binding ourselves to specific instances within the histories of politics, religion, philosophy and the arts, we will be embracing contemporaneity of both the present and the distant past in our continued attempt to defy stagnation. (Sarkis, 20015)

In the High Arctic, where isolation is measured not just in miles but in megahertz, aging satellite ground stations like this one—once lifelines to southern Canada via the ANIK satellite cluster—now represent a fragile tether to the outside world.

 

As infrastructure decays and signal reliability falters, communities face growing risks: delayed medical evacuations, disrupted weather data, and fractured emergency coordination. The problem is further exacerbated by a growing population and a greater reliance on high speed communication with the South.

 

The vulnerability isn’t just technical—it’s existential. In a region where climate, sovereignty, and survival intersect, the erosion of communications capacity threatens both resilience and autonomy. This station, nestled in snow and silence, is more than a relic—it’s a warning.

En géopolitique, gagner sans combattre est la meilleure chose

Last night it was All Hallows Eve, and the time when lots of people take their best zombie and vampire outfits out of the wardrobe to enjoy scaring folk. But I believe monsters do not need a costume to scare. I will share today a Halloween story, changing a little bit my usual mood here, but to share something that may resonate with the experience of more than one who may read this.

 

A long time ago, when I first came to Second Life, I used to socialize a lot more than I do nowadays. Although I am very shy and I find it very difficult to interact with people, at least with more than one at a time, as it usually happens with introverts, I do like people and I immediately trust everybody. Not long after I became a regular in the game, I met someone who would change my life forever.

 

She was the most intelligent person I ever met. I got mesmerized at her knowledge of the World, of science, of humanities, of culture, technology and even the occult. She had travelled half the World and would discuss with me about geopolitics, history, macroeconomy, music, medicine, philosophy, astronomy... There was no field of knowledge that she didn't master.

 

Almost every night and for a very long time, I would meet her and it became my most absolute joy, always looking forward to the time we'd be together. I learned so much! She encouraged me to meditate and opened my mind to many things; she pushed me to get outside my intellectual comfort zone, to explore knowledge beyond my training and specialization, taught me to get free of prejudice and tried to open a path of enlightenment for me.

 

I don't think I fell in love with her. I have known real love later in my life and it isn't what I felt for that woman at all. But her knowledge, her larger-than-life personality, her confidence and, why not saying it, her naughtiness as well, were extremely sexy for me at that moment in my life, and she definitely seduced me. She knew absolutely everything about me, and I thought I knew a lot about her.

 

She was kind to me as well, showing interest in me and making me feel special. This lasted until everything changed. When I felt most comfortable with her, when I verbalized my admiration for her, developed a genuine and strong fascination and affection for her, when I made plans with her and she had become indispensable in my life, then she showed her real face.

 

She started playing with my emotions in a way that I had never experienced or imagined it was possible. Among other things, she would show sudden changes of mood without any obvious trigger or justification that I could recognize, going from the usual behaviour that I knew and learned to love to a vicious anger. She would scorn me, insult me, bully me, accuse me of things I never did or said, making me feel really confused and sad.

 

This emotional strain would continue for weeks or months and I would do every effort to show affection and try to understand what was happening, giving my best, trying to talk about how I felt and what could be done to smooth her behaviour. I thought I was in control, but in fact, little by little, my confidence was being eroded, my self-esteem destroyed, and my nerves broken.

 

I was being bullied with sadism and I was totally blind to what she was doing to me, or more precisely, I knew what she was doing, but I was trying to rationalize it and even take a share of blame, trying to change the things that apparently annoyed her. I thought that the woman who fascinated me with her knowledge of the World, who had treated me nice, who was my friend, needed my help to be the person I had first met.

 

Over time, and repeatedly, she would remove me from contacts, block me, or disappear from SL for long periods of time, usually as a result of a stupid thing. For example, I remember once saying something like "enjoy your dinner of mackerel with dill sauce" (she was supposedly Swedish), as a joke. That was enough for a huge rant about me being stupid, having a narrow mind, unable to think outside of stereotypes, to finally block me without giving me a chance to explain, and disappearing for several months.

 

But she would suddenly return one day. I would find a friendly message from her, a smile and a casual "how are you?", and then she would be nice and I would welcome her back in my life with genuine happiness and willing to forget the past. And then the cycle would repeat again. But every time I would be more broken, more lost, more undermined, less human, more in her control. I was genuinely scared to speak my mind freely when we were together, and had to think twice or three times before saying anything, because I feared her reactions. Yet I felt attracted to her like a magnet.

 

To this nightmare, which lasted some five long years, you have to add something that is not rare in Second Life, but that I only figured out when everything was over and I was able to finally open my eyes and put the pieces together. It was precisely one mistake she made that made me realize, what broke the spell, what opened my eyes and gave me the strength for zero contact and start recovering my freedom.

 

She had been using at least five or six alts with me, possibly more (with time I counted over twelve in her control). Several but not all of them had supposed links with her (roommates, real life buddies, buddies' girlfriends, ...), and without me knowing, she had been using all these characters to manipulate me and my emotions in extremely Machiavellian and elaborate ways, including pretending that she was in life-threatening situations and others that touched the right emotions in me to end up smashing them violently.

 

These events happened many years ago, starting in 2008, long enough to have forgotten most details, most anecdotes. But what I did not forget was the fear and the pain of being abused without any justification, and also the impotence and anxiety of being completely unable to understand the person I admired so much, and this scarred me forever. These wounds are not in my mind or my memory; these wounds are in my soul, too deep to ever heal. And I also feared what she could do to me or my loved ones, because she knew everything she needed to hurt me, had she wanted to.

 

Last night, All Hallows Eve, out of boredom, I visited one of the old places I used to hang out in Second Life. A historic SL musical venue, where many rock and blues lovers meet every day to enjoy the music and the company. It was ages since I had been there. I rezzed in the sim and entered the bar. When I stepped in and checked the crowd, I suddenly saw her name standing out among all the tags hovering in the place. Subsequently, I had time to recognize two additional names in the place: two of her old alts.

 

I am not exaggerating the slightest, my heart stopped in real panic, I got frozen in my real life chair, as if I had stumbled upon a rattler, after all these years, after not a single atom of admiration or of expectation or interest exist in my heart for this person anymore, after any feeling for that person, good or bad, had been washed away by time. Yet, all of a sudden I felt all of the anxiety and incomprehension and sorrow and fear of those years falling over me again. I felt sheer terror.

 

I have had my new avatar for less than 1.5 years, after successively deleting any previous accounts over the years. There is no way she could have known I was there, but I was terrorized by simply being in the same virtual place as she was. I reacted after what seemed an eternity teleporting to another place and, after a short time, feeling my heart racing and real physiological and psychological anguish, I shut down SL. This monster is out there, has been out there all the time, and I am sure she was terrorizing somebody at that very same moment I saw her yesterday.

 

Monsters do not have to sport fangs, blood stains or hockey masks. Monsters only need a clever, sadistic mind and an absolute lack of empathy for others... especially if you trust and tend to empathize. If you ever crossed paths with a narcissist or a psychopath, even in a "harmless" virtual world, you know very well what I am talking about.

 

If you never lived an experience like this, my story may sound stupid, also because I only explained the context, without indulging in the details. But you must believe me, if you get trapped in the cobweb of a monster, what they do to you is everything but stupid. They come as nice, really charming and nice, but their schemes are very dark. And if you are naïve like myself, if you believe in the goodness of people, it is the perfect recipe for disaster.

 

After these events and for a long time, I have been suspicious of people, also in my real life, or at least I forced myself not to open up immediately to people who approached me, even if they were very nice... especially if they were very nice. My Second Life changed too until someone gave me reasons to enjoy it again and exploit its most creative side. But the truth is we cannot fight our true nature, and fortunately, most people are not sick in their minds. Most people have genuinely good intentions and are genuinely kind at heart, and I met a bunch in SL (or your Flickr version) too. I will continue trusting and will give my best always, because I can, because you deserve it.

Metaphor for the Collapse of East -West Geopolitics ( note: East is on the off-side . Right In the U.K.)

If the Gotham city of the 20th century has been inspired by New-York, I think Shanghai could become the reference of this imaginary town for the 21st century, with a slight twist in its name, as a symbol of the rising weight and power of China (which I find personally worrying).

Forever Bicycles is a 2014 unveiled sculpture by Chinese born artist Ai Weiwei.

 

The work is from the Collection of the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa and it sits on a rise in Winnipeg's The Forks.

 

The monumental archway is reminiscent of the traditional Chinese paifang or commemorative gate found in Chinatowns around the world.

 

The artwork is made up of a seemingly endless arrangement of wheels, spokes, and bicycle frames.

 

In the title, “forever” is both a nod to the brand of bicycles that flooded China’s streets as a popular means of transportation, and to the optical illusion of movement and infinite depth that appears to go on forever as one looks at the mesmerizing array against the prairie sky.

 

AI WEIWEI:

Ai Weiwei (b. 1957) is an artist who currently resides and works in multiple locations, including Beijing (China), Berlin (Germany), Cambridge (UK) and Lisbon (Portugal).

 

His father, poet Ai Qing, was denounced by China’s Communist Party in 1958 and his family was sent to labour camps, first near the North Korean border and then eventually in Xinjiang province.

 

They returned to Beijing in 1976 after the end of the Cultural Revolution.

 

Ai studied animation at the Beijing Film Academy, then studied art in New York in the early 1980s.

 

Upon returning to China a decade later, Ai advocated for experimental artists by publishing underground books and curating avant-garde exhibitions.

 

Ai’s artworks are often ambitious in both scale and scope and engage directly with contemporary geopolitics: from global issues of human rights violations to the realities of exile and dislocation, to government corruption and the abuses of power.

 

He is an outspoken advocate of human rights and freedom of speech.

 

He was the recipient of the Vaclav Havel Prize for Creative Dissent in 2012 and of the Amnesty International Ambassador of Conscience Award in 2015

 

THE FORKS:

The Forks is a vibrant public space at the heart of Winnipeg’s downtown where locals and tourists gather for celebrations, recreation, and much like the early Indigenous peoples, to meet one another.

 

As one of Manitoba’s most popular attractions, the 56-acre site features local shops, restaurants, The Forks Market, some of the City’s best open public spaces, and a number of major cultural facilities, including the Children’s Museum, Manitoba Theatre for Young People and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

Excerpt from the plaque:

 

Sewing Seeds by Hitoko Okada (Hamilton)

 

Hitoko Okada is a queer, Nikkei, interdisciplinary artist researcher and independent arts organizer. Her research-based artistic practice critically investigates the colonial histories and geopolitics of the fashion supply chain and its impacts on racialized and gendered labour, and cultural heritage textile crafts and scared relationships to plants. Her queer nature leads her non-traditional approach to a diasporic practice that explores permaculture urban farming of indigo and Japanese textile folk crafts of shifu, aizome and kakishibu as an embodied archive of ancestral knowledge that honours mutualistic and interdependent relationships to water, land, community, and spirit.

Zheng Mahler: Mountains of Gold and Silver Are Not as Good as Mountains of Blue and Green (2020)

"Yaaay! Let's all play in the sandpit! Let's support barbaric dictatorships! Let's make oil deals! Let's create whole countries! Weeeeee! Pew pew pew!! Let's invade states for no reason! Woo-hoo!! Check it out: I just created a "power vacuum". Ooooohhh what's that?! Hey what are all these things crawling up my leg? They're refugees! Ewwww gross!! Get 'em off, get 'em off!"

I have immense respect for Peter Tatchell. He has spent almost his entire lifetime campaigning for LGBTQ+ rights and the rights and freedoms of repressed people and communities from Baluchistan to Zimbabwe, often at great risk to himself. He has also tirelessly fought against and exposed the economic damage and inequality caused by austerity in Britain under successive governments. Over ten years ago, he also helped me out of a very difficult situation.

 

I would not hesitate to join him in condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine as one of the worst war crimes in the last 50 years, but I'm not sure to what extent he supports sending arms for Ukraine. For instance, some of those strongly supporting peace negotiations, such as Noam Chomsky, who has for years given talks on the geopolitics of the region, have also fully supported sending weapons, as long as this transfer is "carefully calibrated" so as not to escalate the conflict into a potentially catastrophic wider European, world or nuclear war.

 

I've written elsewhere on Flickr as to why I and many others don't believe that sending more advanced assault weapons such as Western tanks and aircraft will turn the course of the war but why nevertheless that such advanced weaponry seriously risks escalation of the conflict and at best prolongs it along with all the potential consequences for the world, in terms of lives lost, delayed action on catastrophic climate change and world hunger.

Strong Hands of Mother Africa

 

A poem by J. Joy “Sistah Joy” Matthews Alford

 

Strong hands of Mother Africa

Awaken places deep inside me

Where my ancestors dwell

Like distant echoes, your heart-beat

Reverberates off Kilimanjaro’s mountain-tops

Pulses down the Nile

Crosses the Sudan

And flows into my soul

 

Strong hands of Mother Africa

Call my absent spirit

To return and commune with the elders

Those who sojourned before me

Now light my path and

Await my homecoming

 

Strong hands of Mother Africa

Reveal to me my history

Teach me the ways of my true homeland;

Unmask the mysteries and tragedies

Of this altered consciousness

Awaken in my mind and body

The un-ripened seeds of truth,

Power, and pride

Solve for me the paradox of my mortality.

 

Strong hands of Mother Africa

My soul dances to your ancient rhythm

Pulsing, ever pulsing, through the veins of time

Teach me to beat Africa drums

So that I, too, may guide

Another absent spirit to your shores

So that I, too may guide another absent spirit

Home!

The Growth Summit: Jobs and Opportunity for All 2023 in Geneva, Switzerland

From of the first days of its construction in 1941, through the second world war and the Cold War, the combined Naval Air Station and Naval Station Argentia in Newfoundland, became one of the largest US Navy facilities in the world. Over decades, as technology and geopolitics evolved the massive base contracted in phases until its final closing in 1994. Twenty-five years later this book is an analogue photographic exploration of what remains of that military history as it slowly weathers and fades away in the harsh North Atlantic climate.

The Mikoyan-Gurevitch MiG-21 is an iconic Soviet fighter aircraft that has seen extensive use worldwide since the 1950s. In Helsinki, Finland, a MiG-21 can be seen as a historical and cultural artifact, often displayed in museums or as a souvenir to the Cold War and aviation history. You can see this MiG-21 in the Finnish Aviation Museum Suomen Ilmailumuseo, located near Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. This museum has an extensive collection of aircraft, including the MiG-21, which played an important role in the history of the Finnish Air Force. Finland purchased several MiG-21s from the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 1970s. These aircraft were used by the Finnish Air Force and played a crucial role in the country's air defense during the Cold War. The MiG-21 was one of the most advanced fighter jets of its time and was known for its speed, maneuverability and simple yet effective design. The MiG-21 is a single-engine supersonic fighter aircraft designed for aerial combat and interception missions. The aircraft is known for its delta wing design and high speed, can reach speeds of up to Mach 2 and has an operational ceiling of approximately 17,500 meters. The presence of the MiG-21 in museums in Helsinki is a reminder of the complex geopolitical situation during the Cold War, with Finland having to strike a delicate balance between the influence of both the Soviet Union and the West. It also shows the technological advancements and military capabilities of the time, as well as the cooperation and tensions between different countries.

 

Visit to the MiG-21 at the Finnish Aviation Museum located in Vantaa, near Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, this museum is a must-visit for aviation enthusiasts. It offers in-depth insights into Finland's aviation history and the role of aircraft such as the MiG-21. By visiting such exhibitions, visitors gain a better understanding of the historical and technical aspects of the MiG-21, as well as the broader context of the Cold War and aviation development in Finland.

 

De Mikoyan-Gurevitch MiG-21 is een iconisch Sovjet-gevechtsvliegtuig dat wereldwijd veelvuldig is gebruikt sinds de jaren 1950. In Helsinki, Finland, kan men een MiG-21 zien als een historisch en cultureel artefact, vaak tentoongesteld in musea of als een herinnering aan de Koude Oorlog en de luchtvaartgeschiedenis. Deze MiG-21 kun je zien in het Fins Luchtvaartmuseum Suomen Ilmailumuseo, gelegen nabij de luchthaven Helsinki-Vantaa. Dit museum heeft een uitgebreide collectie vliegtuigen, waaronder de MiG-21, die een belangrijke rol heeft gespeeld in de geschiedenis van de Finse luchtmacht. Finland kocht in de jaren 1960 en 1970 verschillende MiG-21's van de Sovjet-Unie. Deze vliegtuigen werden gebruikt door de Finse luchtmacht en speelden een cruciale rol in de luchtverdediging van het land tijdens de Koude Oorlog. De MiG-21 was een van de meest geavanceerde straaljagers van zijn tijd en stond bekend om zijn snelheid, wendbaarheid en eenvoudige maar effectieve ontwerp. De MiG-21 is een supersonisch jachtvliegtuig met een enkele motor, ontworpen voor luchtgevechten en onderscheppingsmissies. Het vliegtuig is bekend om zijn deltavleugelontwerp en hoge snelheid. kan snelheden tot Mach 2 bereiken en heeft een operationeel plafond van ongeveer 17.500 meter. De aanwezigheid van de MiG-21 in musea in Helsinki herinnert aan de complexe geopolitieke situatie tijdens de Koude Oorlog, waarbij Finland een delicate balans moest vinden tussen de invloed van zowel de Sovjet-Unie als het Westen. Het toont ook de technologische vooruitgang en militaire capaciteiten van die tijd, evenals de samenwerking en spanningen tussen verschillende landen.
