SUN RA QUOTES:

"Everybody respected him because he had something different and everybody could hear it and see it, but they couldn't do it" > authenticity (costumes, experience, myth, imaginary) 

"In my music I speak about unknown things, impossible things, ancient things, potential things"

"What you say has many meanings. it means only what you understand that it means, but that doesnt limit what it actually means"

"A catalyst changes everything, but remains unchanged"

"you are all instruments, everybody is supposed to be playing his part in this vast artistry of the cosmos"

Experienced next to inexperienced 

You can’t have music that doesn’t have ugly in it

For Ra, myth is what poet Jay Wright calls a “mode of knowledge”; it is a “medium to understanding” that is quite closely linked to the grand events of the day.

ON IMAGINATION

• Propagating: plant a seed and continue to take it to the next level
• Aware of the notion of impossibility: and how it shapes idea's (imagination)
• soundscape of quotes and word with different layers of meaning
• anatomy of mythos
• creating an imaginary vision that is collective
• 'renaming'

Fiction

• isolation vs imagination (space travel)
• power of sci-fi
• notion of 'ghosts'
• epistemological systems in the west as dominant - impossible in a certain mindset and frame
• some cultures have other mindsets (instead of the Age of Enlightenment and humanism as central)

> Extracting things from the earth: (colonialism, violence, capitalism)

Session with Aymeric on DUB music (and remix culture)

free culture: - capitalize this free media (platforms)

mediaplatform serving content: - ideologisch projecten

lost of faith

"Others will make money from it"

free culture: for and by the community (Does that really exist?)

dub paradox: -materialisatie van culturele differentatie - ontstaan

internet:

how do you find ways to reprogram yourself: peeling the layers what is given (whats is stake for you and your community)

prepper mindset: critical practice motivated not to be in the last create alternatives network of care

challenge: autonomy infrastructure reflection

> we can try to figure out what to do with these skills and knowlegde how to turn it into sometihng else that circulate in gallery or mediafestival > we can come up with our own platforms? > more precarity and

radical:

building alternatives you can own and maintain

Freedom outside commercial tech gigants

I think thats actually quite a nice thing: Do you want to end up in the 'hall of fame' or want to be mentioned as someone who was at the good side and did super interesting thing
