We were brainstorming on ways to incorporate animation with Cultural Capital: Finding Art in Dubai when we were alerted to the work of William Kentridge. Kentridge creates stop-motion animations from erasing, altering, and editing charcoal drawings. Since surrealist automatism is one of the animation idea we are considering, we decided to highlight Kentridge’s short film “Automatic Writing” below. We love stop-motion animation. Far too often, video is used for the recording of time rather than chopping up time. Stop-motion is all about the chop. Or, as Tarkovsky reminds us, film is a process of sculpting in time.
Wasn’t convinced by Cameron today at PMQs. ,

Royal Mail is a doozy of an issue. I don’t have a dog in the fight, not being a voter, but still the global economy affects us all.

Yet teachers are seldom asked to study the language they teach or how its form carries its message. ,

Yes, teachers must constantly study. Always a student, never a teacher isn’t that a zen koan? Interesting about how form carries the message — we’re obsessed about the visual appearance and organization of texts conveying meaning.
