Simple body pleasures

Sometimes happiness is simple.

Walking with my new camera in 2 hours, making field work and shooting matherials for my new films, enjoying crystal cold air, dreaming about thousand possibilities exists just in 10 min from my work place… It is amazing. I was cold in one hour, with my fingers frozen. And I was frozen in next one hour. Enjoying such a rare feeling of freshness in so sunny day, in one step from winter snows I realized how it is magically simple. Then I had a quick visit to nearest supermarket and went home with several simple products like cheese and bread… and then it was another pleasure to be in warm beautiful tidy home. Drinking tea I feel how it`s important to keep such things. Even being oversnowed by my projects and feeling pleasure with it, I still able to have such simple joy: walking, cold, sun, camera, warm tea at the end. So simple, so pleasant, so beautiful it is. It magically recharge my internal batteries after last day whole of painting.

Thank you, Existence, pleas keep me strong, keep me joyful by simple things of life!

No pictures here to selebrate the moment on fulfillness body life.

I`ve just from seminar about usability of mobile applications by USABILITY Lab, the leader usability company in Russia usabilitylab.ru/en/ . My reasons was not a direct interest to develop an application for my needs but to be updated about how the process is going on and what is the most modern trends. As a fan of information I enjoyed the seminar especially the second practical part.

Why I attend to different seminars and conferencies? Because things I am doing is completely new and modern so I want to keep in touch with modern technical and social processes to feel how our Time runs and so represents it in my painting. This is one of the tastks of Art to represent the mainstream and undergraund of the time an artist witnesses. Also I strongly remember my first hight education in Physics that`s why I am interesting in fresh science, especially applied to practice and methods of analysis.

At the second part of the seminar I was excited having proves the way I choose in Arts is completely right. It is always pleasant because my intuition rules good and then it proves scientifically.

After the seminar I met most people involved, from the USABILITY Lab professionals to CEO of commercial companies and App Developers. That`s so good to keep in touch because as I learnt from life our Earth is really narrow place so every person I know in fields I interesting in is a good chance to make connections and so keep in touch. People with active life position who allplies their ideas to the world, professionals are the best company to nourish each others with new information and ideas.

So I am glad about everything and will keep in touch with USABILITY Lab.

Day before New Work Year

Being a lecturer in several institutes for a long time I am used to to measure an year as a two semesters (September-December and January-June) with 2-month gap between. So today I remember about my Corfu "gap" before the New Institute Year starts.

Memory is not simple thing. Billions connections between neurons forms neuronetwork unique to each person. So things deeply toughtful for one could be indifferent to another person because of different associations involved. Artists have a secret tool to play with neuronetworks, own and even observer`s. Just ttry to make an image…

...in appropriate invironment…

Let the image represents something people could compare with own experience…

And let it be.

Hre is my Office Rock, the best place in the world. I am far away from it now and the New semester`s coming, also the winter becames closer with white dead water called snow. It will be sooner as I want it so I have to keep my memory touching green waters by images:

Even jump in cool green emerald!

And see how green waters move, moves, moves.

The secret of effectiveness: Refregirator-Motivator-and-even-more
Author: ANNAmain • Date: 19 June 2013 at 02:57 PM No comments

All we really have is our time. You could buy many things, but time is unstretchable one and all we could do is to use it more effective. My kithen is the place I cook, make tea ceremonies, meet friends, listen music and so I try to organize everything to work for the best. Even my refregirator has the additional function!

The front side with door in something like iconostasis. Because things I love I want to have in fromt of me, near my eyes to browse across. Being a Buddhist I draw, paint and even made sculptures of Buddha, his statues and images made me calm, meditative and so more productive. Indians gods are attractivebecause I know their symbolism, meanings and also the images is so beautiful I prefer traditional forms because it represents deep equilibrium, but modern interpretations is not bad sometimes.

The bead-roll at the left side was put here because it made something in ahmosphere to the picture in total.( It`s anothers I use for meditations and pranayama practice.) I hanged the bead-roll on Capricorn magnet so it`s a massage itself, because Capricorn has long planing and gain everything making step by step up to the top of a mounting, and never give up. It`s about me.

Also I put here several magnets from Rerich museum because I love how he paint mountings. Tiger is my favourite animal so it`s several here. My painting "The Ideal Manager (PAEI)", now belongs to Dr.Ichak Adizes, has another name "Integration". Integration is the function of God. So here is the right place for it!

Also I put on the door one magnet poster with China style painted mountings and picture of tea. Because I like that poste and could see it while I drink my own tea.

On the bottom you can see a plastic with peony, my friend presented it. I love peony and it`s symbol in China culture so put it here to have a glance from time to time.

And now you can ask me: what is the function of so different things?

Yes, the function exists. I put everything in right order so I can started to think by images while I browse through it. It`s a message and motivator, so my refregirator works with me smile !

 

Morning pleasures: Dragonwell tea and secret plot
Author: ANNAmain • Date: 27 May 2013 at 10:19 AM No comments

Hello everybody, I have to confess my custom to eat, drink and sleep with a project is fruitful but not so healthy. So I am trying to go to sleep ealier (not at 4 AM) and get up ealier too. So I was trying to remember what`s exactly is good in a morning if I have no sea here, and I remembered at least 3 things.

First of all is to paint the base things to an art object just because it`s boring anf better to do in early morning, when my personality hasn`t downloaded at all from god`s iCloud. Ha-ha, it`s the reality! Then I go to my ecology style place in my kitchen to have my tea. Today I get up really ealy, because I helped my friends yesterday all day and was exosted and felt asleep ealier too. So today morning I want the Dragonwell green tea from Shanghai, it better then coffe and has a grass-like test. And today I has black bread and cheese for breakfest. It is the second morning pleasure I forget because last 2 months all of my thoughts was focused on Cyber War project and then in Adizes Project so I had my meals automatically just what eatable it was in my refregirator.

But today… OH my god, it is the real pleasure to have morning tea without any hurry!

I like the fine taste of black bread and white cheese, that`s why I am a lacto-vegetarian.

The DragonWell tea is a really good companion for it!

 

...And, listening spa music, I observed my Secret Plot which I mind-mapped. Mind-mapping is my favourite game with ideas because it`s natural way to prefent ideas exactly in the way I think about. I have about 50 Mind-maps to my ideas and that year I started to make mind maps to conspect books I read. It`s very helpful especially for scientific books in neuroscience and psychology fields. So my secret plots exists in Mind-mapping and I can observe it being lazy in my first calm early morning in that two months smile
