Plato's Cave animation from Youtube

I think I may have posted this before,(see October 2008) but it's worth looking at again.




It is the last sentence or two that gives me food for thought.
Beginning at timerrame 7:14 minutes Plato Says:

It is the task of the enlightened, not only to ascend to learning and to see the good, but to be willing to descend again to those prisoners and to share their troubles and their honours, whether they are worth having or not, And this thing is due, even with the prospect of death. They should give of their help to one another, wherever each class is able to help the community.

 What might this be saying to me about going back into the cave, having spent my years in the glorious sunlight of art-college?

YET ANOTHER NEW BLOG ....

Do I really need to have eleven blogs?
Well, the difficulty is that I have so may different trains of thought coursing through my brain at any one time - like a big river in flood.
So at some mad moment, I thought that if I had a different blog for each strain of thought, it might help me to disentangle the thinking.
It works up to a oint ..

Anyway, the new blog is badly needed - at least if it works it will fulfil a very useful function.
I can't promise that it will. Time will tell, and I only started it yesterday. You can find it here.

other blogs updates

Been working on some of the other blogs, sorting out my ideas for the different projects.

Went to Nigel Rolfe exhibition on Wednesday. Much impressed, especially with the two videos that make up the piece European Dream.

Got chatting to Nigel Rolfe, and he gave me his email and was very encouraging about me contacting him. I said I would sent him a link to the blog with the BALANCE piece on it.
But when I went to the blog Betsy-Wow to Others BALANCE wasn't on it. It took me two days to get something loaded, and its just a glimpse of the whole - hasn't even got titles on it.

Am now planning to put up the small video I created on the iMac to provide the Soundtrack. This hasn't been seen before, so if you want a look, this is where you will find it. Image is a bit jumpy, but it's the voice I used.
