Fitting Not (Room Two)
Last night, I've received a nice email from Dragos
Olea (Apparatus 22), where I had all the info on
their latest show.
---
Produced in neon, a phrase encircles the oval
mirror in the red velvet fitting room. Signaling
feelings divorced from the body, the
straightforward text about failures of shopping astherapy highly preached by numerous lifestyle
magazines and personal advisers is glaring.
No matter how beautiful clothing is, or how
alluring its promises, there are moments whenshopping loses any power of overcoming emotional
decay or painful crises.
Room Two is part of the Fitting not series of
three installations unveiling moments of truth
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Salonul-de-Proiecte/305903902817499?ref=stream&viewer_id=13446970238/12/2019 2013 02/52

which could surface from the cracks of the
blueprint-of-enhanced-reality that is the fitting
room of a fashion store. The capsule-like fitting
rooms resemble the escapist settings of luxury
shopping. The other two capsules from the series
deal with over-and-under use of language for a
particular rendering of the future in fashion and
with hypnotizing strategies of seduction employed
by the fashion and beauty industries.

Royal College of Art student Gabriele Meldaikyte

"There arefive multi-touch gestures forming the
language we use between our fingers and iPhone

Grand Hotel et des Palmes
Heated Discussions...
-image: Il Minotauro accusa pubblicamente sua
madre, 1948-
Last night I was caught in a heated discussion on
this artist named Fabrizio Clerici (see imageabove).
I never heard about him, but I understood that he
has some kind of religious cult with passionate
followers who are ready to do anything to defendhis honor.
Lots of interesting images (he did), although he
seems to me a cute secondary character
(compared to the real masters).
Anyway, here you have a summary on him:
Fabrizio Clerici was born in Milan on May 15, 1913.

Stefanos facebook timeline 02/52 2013
In 1920 he moved with his family to Rome and
graduated with a degree in architecture in 1937.
He was considerably influenced by ancient
monuments and both Renaissance and Baroque
painting and architecture. As a student he
attended conferences held by Le Corbusier in
Rome, and in 1936 he befriended Alberto Savinio,
who introduced him to Surrealism. He moved to
Milan at the end of the 1930s and associated
himself with Filippo de Pisis and Giorgio de
Chirico. At that time he devoted himself to both
architecture and drawing.

Smoky Mountains
This is a fantastic story. How a single person (mr
Sequoyah), illitterate, invented a complete
alphabet from scratch.
Sequoyah (Ssiquoya, as he signed his name,
or Se-quo-ya, as his name is often spelled
today in Cherokee) (c. 17701840), named in
English George Gist or George Guess, was aCherokee silversmith.
In 1821 he completed his independent creation of
a Cherokee syllabary, making reading and writing
in Cherokee possible.
This was the only time in recorded history that a
member of a non-literate people independently
created an effective writing system.

Was Invented)

Global architecture offices are frantically

Coffee after coffee, day after night, model after
model, the anonymous army of architecture
interns are called to cope with that gap, to bridge
the "geologic fault" between the speed of
information and the slowness of construction,
between education and work.
Interns bring the essential mix of knowledge,
cultural difference, social skills, curiosity for the
unstable trends of life, strong motivation,
intimacy, rapid adaptability to new technologies
and capability to tirelessly perform.
Interns are the backbone of post-fordist society, a
black economy of anonymous pioneers living by
the same competitive, individualistic and cynic
logic: "everybody else is doing itso I have to".

East China Sea
A War for This?
A clutch of five uninhabited islets and three rocks,
cast adrift out in the currents of the Western
Pacific, recently demonstrated their power to
convulse East Asia. China, which (alongwith
Taiwan) claims them, calls them the Diaoyuislands; to Japan, which controls them, they are
the Senkaku islands.
In September the Japanese government bought the
three islets it did not already own from theirprivate landlord. That set off a storm of protests
in China, a slump in Japanese exports to China and
in Chinese tourists to Japan, and incursions by
Chinese vessels into the waters around the
Senkakus.

For some, like Mr Madoff, it is the belief in the

others, like Charles Ponzi, it is a fail-safemathematical scheme. MacGregor was far more
ambitious: he invented an entire country. He was,

MacGregor claimed that Poyais covered 8m acres

require both cash and manpower.

Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library
Voynich Manuscript
Following the conversations and exchanges on
http://www.facebook.
com/groups/WHOAMInotebookchallenge/I was
very impressed about this story, about this
mysterious manuscript.
Wikipedia explains:
The Voynich manuscript, described as "the world's
most mysterious manuscript", is a work whichdates to the early 15th century (1404-1438),
possibly from northern Italy. It is named after the
book dealer Wilfrid Voynich, who purchased it in
1912.
Some pages are missing, but the current version
comprises about 240 vellum pages, most with
illustrations. Much of the manuscript resembles
herbal manuscripts of the 1500s, seeming to
present illustrations and information about plantsand their possible uses for medical purposes.

However, most of the plants do not match known
species, and the manuscript's script and language
remain unknown and unreadable. Possibly some
form of encrypted ciphertext, the Voynich
manuscript has been studied by many professional
and amateur cryptographers, including American
and British codebreakers from both World War I
and World War II. As yet, it has defied all
decipherment attempts, becoming a cause clbre
of historical cryptology. The mystery surrounding
it has excited the popular imagination, making the
manuscript a subject of both fanciful theories and
novels. None of the many speculative solutions
proposed over the last hundred years has yet been
independently verified.
The Voynich manuscript was donated to Yale
University's Beinecke Rare Bookand Manuscript
Library in 1969, where it is catalogued under call
number MS 408 and called a "Cipher Manuscript".

Bye Bye Pad...
Another glorious bit of Italian design retires
...though the Padminis notoriously sticky door
handles have a habit of popping off in customers
hands, and passengers can often see the roadthrough holes in the floorboard, the Padmini still
has its adherents, primarily because it is slower
