“There is a story of a young, but earnest Zen student who approached his teacher, and asked the Master, “If I work very hard and diligently, how long will it take for me to find Zen? The Master thought about this, then replied, “Ten years . .” 
The student then said, “But what if I work very, very hard and really apply myself to learn fast — How long then?” Replied the Master, “Well, twenty years.” “But, if I really, really work at it, how long then?” asked the student. “Thirty years,” replied the Master. “But, I do not understand,” said the disappointed student. “At each time that I say I will work harder, you say it will take me longer. Why do you say that?” 
Replied the Master, “When you have one eye on the goal, you only have one eye on the path.”

This is an introduction to a speech that contests schooling versus learning. One of the best reads this month. Read on, player.

“Who knew we’d be admiring the ease of high water khakis & white socks 45yrs later. What really strikes me is the reality of it all. This is not a carefully staged Polo ad shot by Bruce Weber but simply the day to day of a school year shot by a freshman.”

Versions: Manipulation of images in our culture


Posted: July 7th, 2010 | Author: Sam | Filed under: 2. Cultbook | 1 Comment »


“Versions” is a virtual essay by Oliver Laric, who investigates the reappropiation and manipulation of images in our culture. It’s surreal to see how many images are just slightly altered and reintroduced. Sick!

“How an incident happen may reflect nothing about the incident itself.  But it must reflect something about the person involved in the happening and supplying the ‘how’.

5 people interpret an action and each interpret different, because in the telling and the retelling, the people reveal not the action, but themselves.”

Some things you just should see in real life. Like this man’s work (London ‘08). Huge, immense and brilliant. Amazing.

the art of large scaled painted ads


Posted: June 23rd, 2010 | Author: Sam | Filed under: 2. Cultbook | No Comments »


Here’s a NYC based documentary called “Up There” on the lives and stories of the artists of a dying art form: painting large scale advertisements. Beautiful, beautiful stories.

“They can’t print what we paint. They print in pixels, you know. They mix colors optically. Little dots. Little dots. Blue and yellow makes green, but we paint green. We make it a lot richer.”
