follow the signs...

Post by post...

this is the rest of this, ....

don't know what to say really.
3 hours
to the biggest battle of WKSide
all comes down to today.
Either i heal as a person
or I’m going to crumble.
Post by post
day by day
till it’s finished.
I’m in hell right now, mister,
believe me and
I can stay here
and get the shit kicked out of me
or i can fight my way
into the Side.
I can climb out of hell.
One post, at a time.

Now I can do it for you.
I'm young.
I look around and I see beauty
and I think
I mean
I included every single thing I could find.
I uh....
I pissed away all my time
believe it or not.
I chased off
anyone who I believed could give an answer.
And lately,
I can't even stop reading the blog I see in the screen.

You know when you are still young in life
things are still beautiful.
That's, that's part of life.
But,
you only learn that when you start seeing things differently.
You find out that beauty is just a game of experiences.
So is this Blog.
Because in either game
blog or Wk Side
the margin for error is so small.
I mean
one half post too late or to early
you don't quite make it.
One half second too slow or too fast
and you don't quite see it.
The answer WK needs, is everywhere on this blog.
It is in every post of the blog
every link, every picture.

On this blog, i fought for that post
On this blog, i tear myself, and everyone around me
to pieces for that post.
I CLAW with my finger nails for that post.
Cause i know
when i add up all those posts and send it
that's going to make the fucking difference
between Qualifying and Failing
between WkSide and What’s next.

I'll tell you this
in WkSide
it is the guy who is willing to create
who is going to win that position.
And I know
if I am going to have any chance in WK anymore
it is because, I am still willing to create, and think different for that post
because that is what Beauty is.
The life itself.

Now I can't make you take me.
You gotta look at all the projects.
Look into these projects.
Now I think you are going to see people who want Wk side as I do.
You are going to see people
who produced stellar work for this scheme
because they know when it comes down to it,
you are gonna do the same thing for them.

That's the WkSide team, gentlemen
and either I hear a phone call in a while,
or i will fail as individual.
That's WkSide guys.
That's all it is.
Now, whattaya gonna do?

It was really interesting to hear many points of view for our question!

maybe the last..

Gig from Thailand.

hey,
nice 2 hear fr u anyway
of course I think everything can b beautiful bcoz people c things and percieve things differently so something can b good or not sometimes it depends on different experiences, different culture, different ages etc. so I think everything can be beautiful it depends on how v c it ( possitive site or negative site), hope this can help u more or less:)

Cheers,
Gig

THANKSSS

we are....

the time is now!

There are two distinct views on the meaning of time. One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a dimension in which events occur in sequence, and time itself is something that can be measured. This is the realist's view, to which Sir Isaac Newton subscribed.

This text above could be in way a definition of time. I believe that time can be directly related to the question “Can anything be beautiful?”

One of my favorite quotes says that:

Yesterday is a History.
Tomorrow a mystery
And today is a gift... that’s why we call it present.

So the best way to answer this question is to set the time to “now”.
Many of you might remember the amazing & innovative trilogy of the 80’s “back to the future.”
In that movie Marty McFly and Dr. Emmet Brown (doc) had traveled through time. They actually decided to move forwards to 2055 if I remember well. When they arrived In the future they realized there were a few bad characteristics in their lives needing change. Although by the end of the 2hour movie they were able to return to the present(mid-eighties) and lay the foundation for the necessary changes, they realized that the insights from this journey were a bit overwhelming and somewhat disappointing.

For an imaginative example of how important the present is, Michael J. Fox and cast give a nice depiction. The present, or living in the now as people like to say, is the only opportunity we will ever have to make something of this very moment. Now that it’s gone, rest assured that another opportunity is coming right NOW.
Since we have established our mania with the Now, in considering the question “Can anything be beautiful?” our answers will change from this.. moment to this.. one. If for example we put the word NOW after the question (Can anything be beautiful+now?) then the answer is definitely a big ugly NO! Everything has a beautiful and ugly side to it. When something’s ugly side is brightly shining through it may have potential to become beautiful, but until it does make that change it will still be ugly. At this very moment a caterpillar may have the potential to become a butterfly but until it does it is only a crawling worm.

Now is where everyone says that “Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder.” My response is that each beholder lives in such a different environment their eyes have been trained to see their version beauty. A fly sees a pile of manure as a treasure hunter sees a mountain of gold. If everything is beautiful now, then this world would be the most boooring place in the universe and the author of this blog would be following Frank to see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars. The antithesis of what is beautiful and ugly creates the fascination we have with what is happening now; life.

If however speak about seeing the future, and as a destination we are headed to “Anything can be beautiful” then we should be aware that the most beautiful part would be the journey; the journey of making anything beautiful, the metamorphosis of a potentially beautiful vision, idea, thought, event, occurrence…. And Now is your chance to take action and make anything beautiful ;-)

the judgement day...

the end is coming.. and it can be beautiful. i guess!

Failure can be beautiful!

As times goes by and the bad deadline is approaching faster than a speeding bullet. I have to post about the failures. What i did was to send emails asking an answer to the Question "Can anything be beautiful?"
The Vast majority responded me that they can't help me (for many reasons) and some but few didn't bothered answering me at all.


So here are my failures:
Philippe Starck,
Pixar,
U2,
amnesty,
greenpeace,


Moreover i tried to tried to communicate directly with lot of famous people by inventing imaginary email adresses:
bill@whitehouse.gov, ceo@microsoft.com, stallone@yahoo.com, tonyb@yahoo.co.uk, paris@hilton.com, mickey@disney.com.. and many many more... the result was a complete failure but in the end i found it funny.. & beautiful

:-)

History time.

Some people in my hi5 research speak about analogy, synergy & symmetry They say that all these one way or another are connected with beauty. If we take a look in History and go back to the point were many things started. We can see philosophers, artists, scientists creating things that are so important and have been the basis for the human development throughout time. Maybe these people were looking for real beauty and find the way to make anything in the beautiful. Their findings, theories, creations... probably were based in synergy simplicity & symmetry... the following videos are from the opening ceremony of the Athens 2004 Olympic games and somehow show how everything was created... just enjoy the beauty...

Anything is...

As i promised here i wrote down some thoughts on what is anything... soon i noticed that anything is anything that exists in my world in your wourld and in everyworld of every universe of every every....... so Can anything be ( )? the answer is YES!

Think Beauty act Global!

Saubiya Baroda India.

i believe...god has made everything beautiful in some way or the other.
it is sad but it is we who tag things as 'ugly' or 'beautiful'.


Andres 20 from Quito , Ecuador

Yes, but remember that it is impossible to find the same water in the river. Lots of things can be beautiful but the joy of appreciating them can be gone in a second.



Xuanluiz 23 from Hermosillo , Mexico

Hi there ChristoS

Well, I think beauty has certain rules most of the time like proportion, symmetry, etc. .... But, since sometimes beauty is where those rules aren't, I guess the answer is YES everything can be beautiful, it's better when that beauty comes from nature and when it's true.
But we also need ugly to appreciate beauty.
Good luck on the project!

Kawtar 19 from al kuwait , Kuwait
hi how r u.
well i guess its depend on the person its self , there is ppl can find every thing beautiful , even if its not , but there is some kind of ppl find all the things around are sad , look bad and negative , its just the way u used to live , in arabic world ppl like to make every things drama , and big problem , to me is how to accept your life ,






Mona 24 from Cairo Egypt..

Hey Chris

I think to answer your question, a definition for what is considered beautiful should be identified. Also, who decides what is beautiful,are we just following our ancestors in their definition to beauty, or shall each follows his/her sense of beauty, or a combination of both needs to be made?
Even we need to clarify what sense identify the meaning of beauty, is it the eye, especially when people say " you have an eye for beauty", is it the brain, or what....
In my opinion, one can see the beauty in anything only if he wants and trains himself too, apart from that,you will find most replies as no, not anything is beautiful.
If you like, try reading the "sense of beauty", and tell me what you think

Did i helped a bit?




Cecilia 32 from Lima Peru

hola, a tu pregunta diria que....... hay belleza en todo, desde que abres tus ojos y miras al mundo, tan simple como la hoja que cae en otoño, hasta la lagrima que brota el dia de tu muerte...

Hello, to your question i would say that. ...... there is beauty in anything, since you open your eyes and see all the world, as simple as the leaf that falls in autumn, to the cries that sprouts we gave of death...


Patricia 24 from lisbon , Portugal

Hi!
this question its a little bit relative and confuse... i think beuty its a little confused, i think the answer change person for person, but the most beutifull thing for me its the thought, think a little: if we don t think we cant do anything, and anything its ugly... now sincerely , the most thing that i like its art... everything what it has in its context , i love... i can be hours look for a painting and talk about him, i love go to a nice bar, drink a cup of wine and have a interesting dialogue with an interesting person, when i say interesting i mention a person who knows what he saying... i thing life is beautiful don t you...
grasps it
kiss

I said that it was a confused question




Sherif 25 from Egypt
everything can be beautiful, only depressed people will ask this question...sorry but it is the truth.



Claire from Australia
hi,,, my answer would be: yeah anything can be beautiful if you look at it in the righ light, a positive light




Larisa 19 from Rumania
yes, i think many things are and could be beautiful...you just have to open your eyes an look closely.
i'm sorry but i don't have the time to write more...

Beauty touches everyone...

Poison 18 from oradea , Romania

hehehe...well i`m glad that you pick me for you`re project..and a good question...yes i think everything is beutiful in a way...it`s up to you to found out and descover the beautiful part...


Alex 25 From Torino Italy.

hi ChristoS, I'm very fine and I hope the same for you... what do you do in the life? i'm an architect.
Art and beauty are arguments in which I am very interested and I'd be happy to take part to your project. I tryed to answer to your question, even if my english is very poor, if you want to use my words somewhere I ask you to correct my english errors!...Thanx:
Can anything be beautiful? Can anything be art? The answer should be the same for both art and beauty, but today's art has included many things that are shocking but not beautiful, so not art; that degeneration has started probably with dadaism; but there was a reason for dadaists to be shocking: they were trying to upset the bourgeois value system that, according to them, was the original cause of first world war. We are in the consumistic-edonistic epoch where even the television spots -made for economic pourposes therefore in comlete agreement with society rules- are transgressive, but nobody gets shocked because we are used to every kind of oddity. So I think that today we need to give back a real, rational meaning to both art and beauty, and we can deduct it from classic art: Fidia, Socrate, Michelangelo, Rousseau, Picasso, Carmelo Bene, and many others that thought that art is beauty, art is cultivation, beauty is proportion, proportion is science, science is truth, truth is freedom and art is freedom.
If I'm walking in the street and I see something impressing, the impression has more to do with me that with the thing itself, with my emotions, if I'm happy or sad, so I think we can not define anything as art, even if a piece of art can be made with any kind of material or substance...we need to introduce the concept of proportion.

take care!

thanks to the people...

Noor 25 from Amman Jordan

Hi Christos,
When you asked: can anything be beautiful... i don't know if you mean anything you look at.... or just specific things... but if you do mean anything you look at... then i think anything with goodness can be beautiful.
But I also think i'm bias towards what my heart thinks is beautiful, more than what my eye thinks is beautiful.
Cheers, and good luck with your project.
noor.

But Noor, got back to me...

Now I'm thinking about what i said... it sucks that topics such as beauty and love have become socially perverted... even if you try and talk about them... you sound cheesy... I hate that. I'm not talking about you here... dont get me wrong... you seem to be digging... i'm talking about me! Blukh!
Good luck with this once more... I hope you find what you're looking for... keep digging!
Oh... My dog's beautiful! One of the most beautiful things... so full of good! she's wonderful and makes me feel wonderful... which to me... makes her beautiful!
See... true but cheesy! Or maybe my perception of things has become polluted... oh well!




Laura from Cairo Egypt.

Her dear Chris ,
your question is not as simple as it seems,it's either so deep or so shallow,
it has lots of sides if u r thinking deeply and I guess it will only open the door for more questions,but for my brief perspective, I guess nothing is that clear cut,
it's all relative in so many ways,if you are talking about materialistic stuff I guess you can shape what you see to fit your taste of beauty ,but for some other elements it's just so ugly and can't be beautiful no matter what,it's more appearing in morals for example, cheating is ugly , you can't change that, crime is ugly although the committers may give you hundreds of beautiful excuses, hunger and poverty is soooo ugly,for me beauty lies in the small stuff that gives u happiness when you look at and when u feel like invading an orange with your teeth and sucking it's refreshing juice in your mouth this is beauty,and when my black cute cat chases a fly I smile at the beauty of the sight,and I believe that colors comes out from our eyes …..,the road to your home may look so beautiful one day when you are coming from a great date, and may look just so dull if you just had a lousy day at work for example, Yes you can make that beautiful, keep it natural let yourself soul and senses go with it and you'll find it beautiful, I believe in beauty , you are beautiful, I am beautiful even that cute little screen that you are looking at now is beautiful cause it makes us communicate it makes me see how beautiful sharing thoughts sharing beauty ,
I'm sending you my beautiful negative energy :)


Many thanks :-)

Juxtaposition by un Genio!

Here is an interesting article I found about a famous and well respected Artist. For me a Genius; Signore Leonardo Da Vinci!
Very few artists other than Leonardo appear to have felt a life-long need to articulate their ideals of beauty in drawings, along with seemingly endless variations on the theme of supine ugliness, and certainly none did so with comparable persistence or coherence of vision. As the great master's words intimate, 'beauty (bellezza) and ugliness (brutteza) appear each more powerful when seen in contrast, one with the other'. (1) In his conception of the 'ages of man', Leonardo would often juxtapose the ideally perfect beauty of youth with the grotesque deformity and decay of old age, because--as he inscribed below the sketch of an old hag--'a beautiful thing that is mortal passes and does not last'. (2) Between the late 1480s and the late 1490s, Leonardo's preoccupation with the human face (its proportions, expressions, and deterioration with age) resulted in especially penetrating physiognomic studies, and the sum of these drawings--which are notably heterogeneous in style and medium, for here one needs to think broadly about content, and include, for example, the pen and ink grotesque heads, as well as the chalk studies for the apostles in the Last Supper--appears to indicate that Leonardo had arrived at highly cogent, unified theories about gesture, some of which he probably covered in his lost treatise on painting and human motion. (3) In his role as a theorist of painting, Leonardo repeatedly stated that the two most formidable challenges facing the good painter were the portrayal of man and the intentions of the mind; in his lost Libro A of 1508-10, he had variously called the latter the 'passioni dell'anima', the 'accidenti mentali', and the 'moti mentali', and the very eclecticism of his vocabulary seems to indicate that he was both relying on different sources and returning to his own previous ideas, the earliest of which he may have formulated in 1490-92. (4) It is clear, therefore, from both his drawings and writings that the concern with the physical and psychological dimensions of gesture was a lifelong preoccupation.
A memorable and groundbreaking exploration of this aspect of Leonardo's work was provided in the recent exhibition, 'Leonardo da Vinci: The Divine and the Grotesqque', selected by Martin Clayton from the unparalleled holdings of the six hundred or so Leonardo drawings at the Royal Library, Windsor Castle. (5) As a scholarly contribution to the vast field of Leonardo studies, this exhibition was remarkably innovative in conception, and treated the material with extraordinary intellectual elegance. It displayed a number of drawings by Leonardo that have either not previously been exhibited, or very rarely so (for example, nos. 10, 11, 23, 49, 57, 67, 68-70, 75), and made the kinds of imaginative visual connections across themes that very much embody Leonardo's own method of drawing by analogy and permutation. The exhibition brought together seventy-six drawings (one, hors catalogue, RL 12576) that were arranged in eight sections designed to highlight the various dimensions of Leonardo's thought. In this regard, the visual experience of the display may have had a greater clarity of structure than the fine, accompanying scholarly catalogue. A monumental sheet in pen and ink of around 1478 (no. 1), portraying ideas for a nursing Madonna and Child with the infant St John the Baptist, along with numerous sketches and doodles of heads of men, women, and animals in profile, served as a centrepiece of the exhibition; it helped illustrate in germ form many of the recurrent themes in Leonardo's work over the next forty years of his career. An introductory section of thirteen drawings (nos. 2-14), entitled 'The divine body', cast a wide conceptual net over a great diversity of endeavours. (It is worth pointing out that 'divine' is not a term Leonardo himself used in describing physical beauty or bodily perfection.) Here represented were Leonardo's exploratory drawings of the body, whether human or equine, and these also included a variety of different drawing types (studies of anatomy, proportion, and of purely artistic intent). Although it perhaps wove together a few too many strands with an insufficient number of examples, this section on the 'divine body' provided, nevertheless, an entirely necessary springboard for the more integrated display of drawings that followed of Leonardo's ideal types of women and men, of bodily and facial expression (as was magnificently evident in the studies for the apostles in the Last Supper), of grotesque facial deformity, of portraits, and of the magical transformations from real to imagined creatures. A section on 'Fantasy and costume' (nos. 62-75), which included a number of Leonardo's designs for courtly spectacles, provided an arresting finale for this well-thought-out exhibition.

and on and on :-)))

Shiranui from Tokyo Japan
hi, christoS.
there are many definition of beauty as nunber of human,i think.
the Beauty that a lot of people can share.
the Beauty that small number of people can share.
it feeling likes eros or as likes concerned with sexul things.
as to filming,an object,atmosphere,content...
it is difficult question, but i think it is able to do.
becase you can make or manipulate the light if you want.
because the existence are fundamentally beauty,don't you.
everything gonna be ok,if you do as you belive.
bless

Milica 18 from Split Croatia

Atir 18 from Viseu Portugal

Hi...that´s a strange question, why me..
Well i think..."Can anything be beautifull?"
What is the beauty for you, my concept about that can be different of your concept, for me the beauty is on the imperfection...Humm...imperfection, well imperfection for my it´s everithing that you see, without mask, it´s complicates describe, because, the World have so many examples...the faces, the places...But what do you really want to know abou the beauty?


Cristina 19 from Buenos Aires Argentina.

muchas cosas puden ser hermosas pero depende de quien las mire y bajo las circunstancias en las que la haga
many things can to be beautiful but depends on who look at them and under the circumstances in which do it


Julia Watford United Kingdom

yes of course something can be beautiful but people have different opinion i mean u may find something beautiful but i may not it depends what the person classify as beautiful.


Soli 19 from Mexico

Hi! Nice to know you Christos

I think everything can be beautiful... Depending on the concept of beauty you have since you're a little kid... the images and everything.

I really think that the pshycical beauty doesn't matter a lot!
When you really know the person or a place... it's when you know the really beauty of each thing or person.

I repeat... it depends on the concept of beauty each one has.

"Everything is Beautiful"

Worn out, wasted
Like a bird with broken wings
Sometimes grace reminds me
I don't get to be the king

But love it washes over
Love it pulls me closer
Love it changes everthing

Everything is beautiful
Even when the tears are falling
I don't need a miracle to believe
Even in the crashing down
I can hear redemtion calling
And everything is beautiful to me

Sweetly, You release me
From the weight of what I've done
The trigger trips the hammer
But the bullets never come

And love like a landslide
Like the wind
Spins around me pulls me in
At it's unveiling, I begin

Thank you all guys!!!

Any.. what?

Many people say that making the right questions can lead to the right answer..

"Can anything be beautiful?" is an intriguing questions that generates many other small questions like what is Anything? what is beautiful? how can anything be beautiful? what does the writer want to say... and many more questions of this kind. However the first most important question that needs to be answered would be...
What is anything at first place...
Thinking of this question "What is anything?" i decided to present my perception over "Anything..
Anything is Everything, Can be a single thing, why a thing, it's unexpected, does anything includes the unknown as well, anything is anything, it is any-thing, includes feelings, nature and everything in between... anything is so weird that can be anything...

So what i'll do is to write on a white page, what is anything..

Any given Sider.

I don't know what to say really.
Three days to the biggest battle of Wk Side.

I'm in hell right now, mister believe me
and i can stay here
and get the shit kicked out of me or i can fight my way
into the WK side.
One post, at a time.
The answer I need is everywhere around me.

On this blog, I fight for each post On this blog,
I question myself, and everyone around me for that Post.
I can CLAW with my fingernails for that post. Cause i know when I
add up all those posts that's going to make the fucking difference
between Qualifying and failing between being a Sider and not
Now I can't make you take me……

Doodling-- With Art Vol.2

Martin Creed is an English artist noted for his works which hark back to the conceptual art of the 1960s and 1970s.
BBC asked Martin a similar question to ours;

Can anything be Art?

The answer is definitely yes! Anything can be art absolutely anything! Because art can be made out of anything wood, plastic, paint, it doesn't matter!
When you learn about art for the first time you learn about the art that people consider to be very good art. If that happens to be painting then it's easy to then consider that art needs to be paintings or paintings of a certain kind but that's just what certain people think or many people have thought over a long period.
Something is art if you think it's art, anything can be an artist experience.
Like if you are walking down the street and you see something. I have those kind of experiences all the time, which for me are like little moments of art. And they aren't even being made by anyone it might be something you see on the street... like someone walking along or like the shape of a shadow against a tree... or just like a feeling.
I don't think there are any rules... I don't think anyone knows the answers to these questions about art that's why it's such an exciting thing.

Anything can definitely be art!


And here is what happens when Art become Beautiful...


Can Anything Be beautiful

The answer is definitely yes! Anything can be Beautiful absolutely anything! Because Beauty can be made out of anything day, people, nature, it doesn't matter!
When you learn about beauty for the first time you learn about the beauty that people consider being very beautiful. If that happens to be a girl then it's easy to then consider that beauty needs to be women or women of a certain kind but that's just what certain people think or many people have thought over a long period.
Something is beautiful if you think it's beautiful, anything can be an beautiful experience.
Like if you are walking down the street and you see something. I have those kind of experiences all the time, which for me are like little moments of beauty. And they aren't even being made by anyone it might be something you see on the street... like someone walking along or like the shape of a shadow against a tree... or just like a feeling.
I don't think there are any rules... I don't think anyone knows the answers to these questions about beauty that's why it's such an exciting thing.

Anything can definitely be beautiful!

Doodling-- With Art!

My thought here was to replace the word art with the word beauty! I think that the outcome is quite interesting...

Isn't it nice when we DOODLE?

Here is the original text:

Today the questions What is Art? and What is an Artist? are not easily answered.
According to William Rubin, director of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, "there is no single definition of art." The art historian Robert Rosenblum believes that "the idea of defining art is so remote [today]" that he doesn't think "anyone would dare to do it."
Philippe de Montebello, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, states that there is "no consensus about anything today," and the art historian Thomas McEvilley agrees that today "more or less anything can be designated as art."
Arthur Danto, professor of philosophy at Columbia University and art critic of The Nation, believes that today "you can't say something's art or not art anymore. That's all finished." In his book, After the End of Art [see BIBLIOGRAPHY], Danto argues that after Andy Warhol exhibited simulacra of shipping cartons for Brillo boxes in 1964, anything could be art. Warhol made it no longer possible to distinguish something that is art from something that is not.
What has finished, however, is not artistic production, but a certain way of talking about art. Artists, whoever they are, continue to produce, but we, non-artists, are no longer able to say whether it is art or not. But at the same time, we are no longer comfortable with dismissing it as art because it fails to fit what we think art should be (whatever that is).
We struggle with this because we have been taught that art is important and we're unwilling to face up to the recently revealed insight that art in fact has no "essence." When all is said and done, "art" remains significant to human beings and the idea that now anything can be art, and that no form of art is truer than any other, strikes us as unacceptable.
