Residency 2: Day 27: 'Every artist is crazy with respect to ordinary life.' - Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven

I am the last person to mystify coincidences. Every Tom, Dick and Harry, every Siobhán, Fionnuala and Olanrewaju drones on about them, like science and probability and statistics and psychology had never been invented. These people look at you knowingly, expecting collusion with their adolescent thought processes. Okay, should stop now: heading into rudeness...

This afternoon has seen a sequence of coincidences, small and maybe larger eureka moments, and anything good that happens, in art terms, seems to involve such. I need to get out of the studio for tonight, but, before, just to quickly jot the progress down:

1. Writer and folk-art person Sara Baumes was being mentioned admiringly to me by Claire L. at Uillinn, when, in walks Ann D. with three of the author's books in a paper bag. There is a link too with Mark, the fishing world champion and fine craftsperson I have chatted with a lot in the past few weeks.

2. Later Jamie Ashfort walked past Studio 2 and we had a conversation about her recent affecting Road Books (Peter Morgan and Judy Kravis) residency https://www.roadbooks.ie/residency. I was demonstrating something very exciting, to my mind at least, about the rotating toy wind turbines: they move of their own accord over time, slowly, due to the vibrations and weight distribution probably, but as if exhibiting agency, intelligence; they rotate, in effect, in a second way, on the horizontal plane!!!

3. Then weirdly J. noticed the chance colour coordination of my tent and groundsheet with the toy turbine boxes, as they are arranged in the studio:

4. Next it occurred to me that there was some more freaky unexpected dubious logic to the juxtaposing of the basketball and the sewerage pipe:

5. I had been working with the second, better quality film, of the toy turbines and golf balls from yesterday, the one with Read-out-Loud for a piece of writing playing via speakers in the background, and trying to auto-transcribe it. A few attempts, with Zoom and YouTube's in-house tools for example, failed. The acoustics in the studios, with their high ceilings and hard walls, are, naturally, poor and there is lots of noise from the turbines in the film too, but I wanted to see how the auto-transcription A.I. would cope. Eventually I found this and used it: https://otter.ai/. Here is the result: https://otter.ai/u/dYnQZbWndPFvryyQ90qwSAjIBKg and pasted below:

And although the possibility of there being value in mimicking Dada now - I have had a few chats about this recently due to the current exhibition at Uillinn, WCAC - is ludicrous - style is a tyranny after all - there's something about the algorithm doing Dada that seems pertinent to the times we are in.
