<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After some research I ended up giving a try to the 3D wiggle effect. A friend of a friend, Jaime Martinez uses this technique extensively in his photography.<br />Here, I am just taking a few shots in my room to see how it all works. It's quite exciting though pretty headachy to watch for some time and edit for much longer. I don't think I would like to use this technique as part of a video/installation/augmented reality set-up exactly because of this.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been reading that dissorientation/dizziness is one of the reasons that Virtual Reality never really got that popular. I would like to look more into that. I would also like to play with polarised glasses/screens etc. Today I had a first go with Anaglyph 3D too, here is a result.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't have 3D glasses at home so I don't know if it works allright. When I loaded the two separate images on the 3D wiggle Processing sketch I found online (contact me for details) the result not quite as I hoped for but I'm sure this can be corrected by playing with the angles between the two shots. Whatsoever, I find the anaglyphic result without the glasses quite pleasing for what it is...</span></div>

Basically I realise that the reason I was using the blog so extensively at the time was because I didn't have my own computer, and therefore all interesting information that I wanted to keep easy to access without extra costs for printing etc., was to keep on updating my blog. That was on my first year in the art school. Four years later, I am just about to graduate. Things have changed quite a bit, and now I am working on my website instead.. Still nothing too crazy, and I don't have a domain name of something, though I think these are cheap, I will probably look this one up soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, as everyone says after not having been blogging for ages and feeling guilty, now I am back for more!! So see you soon.</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Binaural Beats <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats">w</a> and hypothetical effects on Brain function (brainwave entrainment <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwave_synchronization">w</a>)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Binaural beats may influence functions of the brain in ways besides those related to hearing. This phenomenon is called <i>frequency following response</i>. The concept is that if one receives a stimulus with a frequency in the range of brain waves, the predominant brain wave frequency is said to be likely to move towards the frequency of the stimulus.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-pmid46818_17-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats#cite_note-pmid46818-17"></a></sup> In addition, binaural beats have been credibly documented to relate to both spatial perception & stereo auditory recognition, and, according to the frequency following response, activation of various sites in the brain<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-pmid70337_22-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats#cite_note-pmid70337-22">.</a></sup></span></div><div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The stimulus does not have to be aural; it can also be visual or a combination of aural and visual (one such example would be Dreamachine).</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Perceived human hearing is limited to the range of frequencies from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, but the frequencies of human brain waves are below about 40 Hz. To account for this lack of perception, binaural beat frequencies are used. Beat frequencies of 40 Hz have been produced in the brain with binaural sound and measured experimentally.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-pmid15721080_25-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats#cite_note-pmid15721080-25"></a></sup></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">When the perceived beat frequency corresponds to the delta, theta, alpha, beta, or gamma range of brainwave frequencies, the brainwaves entrain to or move towards the beat frequency. For example, if a 315 Hz sine wave is played into the right ear and a 325 Hz one into the left ear, the brain is entrained towards the beat frequency 10 Hz, in the alpha range. Since alpha range is associated with relaxation, this has a relaxing effect or if in the beta range, more alertness. An experiment with binaural sound stimulation using beat frequencies in the Beta range on some participants and Delta/Theta range in other participants, found better vigilance performance and mood in those on the awake alert state of Beta range stimulation.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-pmid4810845_28-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats#cite_note-pmid4810845-28"></a></sup></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Binaural beat stimulation has been used fairly extensively to induce a variety of states of consciousness, and there has been some work done in regards to the effects of these stimuli on relaxation, focus, attention, and states of consciousness. Studies have shown that with repeated training to distinguish close frequency sounds that a plastic reorganization of the brain occurs for the trained frequenc<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-pmid10757526_29-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats#cite_note-pmid10757526-29"></a></sup>ies and is capable of asymmetric hemispheric balancing.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The dominant frequency determines your current state. For example, if in someone's brain alpha waves are dominating, they are in the alpha state (this happens when one is relaxed but awake). However, also other frequencies will be present, albeit with smaller amplitudes.</span></div><div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The brain entraining is more effective if the entraining frequency is close to the user's starting dominant frequency. Therefore, it is suggested to start with a frequency near to one's current dominant frequency (likely to be about 20 Hz or less for a waking person), and then slowly decreasing/increasing it towards the desired frequency.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Some people find pure sine waves unpleasant, so a pink noise or another background (e.g. natural sounds such as river noises) can also be mixed with them. In addition to that, as long as the beat is audible, increasing the volume should not necessarily improve the effectiveness, therefore using a low volume is usually suggested. One theory is to reduce the volume so low that the beating should not even be clearly audible, but this does not seem to be the case.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-pmid15054131_30-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats#cite_note-pmid15054131-30"><br />
</a></sup></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">In addition to lowering the brain frequency to relax the listener (or to raise it to help focusing), there are other controversial, alleged uses for binaural beats. For example, that by using specific frequencies an individual can stimulate certain glands to produce desired hormones. Beta-endorphin has been modulated in studies using alpha-theta brain wave training, and dopamine with binaural beats. Among other alleged uses, there are reducing learning time and sleeping needs (theta waves are thought to improve learning, since children, who have stronger theta waves, and remain in this state for a longer period of time than adults, usually learn faster than adults and some people find that half an hour in the theta state can reduce sleeping needs up to four hours similar to another other method of achieving a theta state, e.g. meditation) some use them for lucid dreaming and even for attempting out-of-body experiences, astral projection, telepathy and psychokinesis. However, the role of alpha-wave activity in lucid dreaming is subject to ongoing research.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Alpha-theta brainwave training has also been used successfully for the treatment of addictions.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It has been used for the recovery of repressed memories, but as with other techniques this can lead to false memories.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-pmid17716079_37-0"></sup></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">An uncontrolled pilot study of Delta binaural beat technology over 60 days has shown positive effect on self-reported psychologic measures, especially anxiety. There was significant decrease in trait anxiety, an increase in quality of life, and a decrease in insulin-like growth factor-1 and dopamine and has been successfully shown to decrease mild anxiety. A randomised, controlled study concluded that binaural beat audio could lessen hospital acute pre-operative anxiet</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">y. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Another claimed effect for sound induced brain synchronization is enhanced learning ability. It was proposed in the 1970s that induced alpha brain waves enabled students to assimilate more information with greater long term retention<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-isbn0-9721780-0-7_40-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats#cite_note-isbn0-9721780-0-7-40"></a></sup>. In more recent times has come more understanding of the role of theta brain waves in behavioural learning<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-pmid11726239_41-0">. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats#cite_note-pmid11726239-41"></a></sup>The presence of theta patterns in the brain has been associated with increased receptivity for learning and decreased filtering by the left hemisphere. Based on the association between theta activity (4–7 Hz) and working memory performance, biofeedback training suggests that normal healthy individuals can learn to increase a specific component of their EEG activity, and that such enhanced activity may facilitate a working memory task and to a lesser extent focused attention.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Rowan Whistle<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/obTUPMSXogY" width="425"></iframe></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;"><a href="http://www.treesforlife.org.uk/forest/mythfolk/rowan.html">S</a> <span style="font-size: small;">and</span> <span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.merciangathering.com/rowan.htm"><span style="font-size: large;">x</span></a> "The more common Scots Gaelic name for the rowan is <i>caorunn</i> which crops up in Highland place names such as Beinn Chaorunn in Inverness-shire and Loch a'chaorun in Easter Ross. This indicates the rowan’s importance in bleak and lonely Highland areas, where other trees would not easily grow, and where the rowan is called the <i>Lady of the Mountains</i>. Rowan was also the clan badge of the Malcolms and McLachlans and the surnames Mac Cairthin and MacCarthy come from the old Gaelic word for rowan and literally mean "Son of the Rowan". </span></div><div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: x-small;">In Scotland at least, the rowan seems to have been the <i>Tree of Life or Cosmic Axis tree</i>. Such trees stood at the sacred<i> centre [often also the geographical centre] of a place, </i>connecting it to the realms of above and below, as well as the four directions. Kings were crowned there, and all important decisions made under the auspices of the tree, giving them the authority of the Otherworld as well as this one. Such a rowan tree stood on one of the Orkney islands. The fate of the island was bound up with it: if even one leaf was carried away from the island, the Orkneys would pass under the dominion of a foreign lord.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: x-small;">There were strong taboos in the Highlands against the use of any parts of the tree save the berries, except for ritual purposes. For example a Gaelic threshing tool made of rowan, called a <i>buaitean,</i> was used on grain meant for rituals and celebrations. According to Hugh Fife in his <i>Warriors and Guardians: Native Highland Trees</i>, the Rowan tree is one of the most sacred trees in Scottish folklore: “<i>Scottish tradition does not allow the use of the tree’s timber, bark, leaves or flowers, nor the cutting of these, except for sacred purposes under special conditions</i>.” </span><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: x-small;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: x-small;">In the past, it was earnestly believed that evil witches had no power where there was rowan wood; after all, the berries are marked at the base with the sign of the pentagram, a sign of protection. </span><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: x-small;">In Scotland, it was put up in the house as a protective charm as ‘it cannot be removed by unholy figures.’ </span> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.merciangathering.com/rowan.htm#_edn5" name="_ednref5" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" title=""> <span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: Garamond;">[5]</span></span></a></span><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: x-small;"> In Yorkshire, the second of May was called ‘Witchwood Day’, when rowan pieces were taken and fixed over the door. According to one account, several were taken, one for the door, one for the cattle byre, one for the stable, one for personal use, one for the head of the bed and so on. They must be cut on St Helen’s Day, cut with a household knife from a tree the cutter had never seen before. It must be taken home by a different route from the one taken to get there. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: x-small;">Rowan's associations are with witchcraft, protection, divination and the dead. The berries are marked with the sign of the pentagram, a sign of protection, magic and the calling and banishing of spirits. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: x-small;">Rowan helps to communicate with the spirit world. The berries, wood and leaves can be dried and burned as an incense to invoke spirits, familiars, spirit guides and elementals, to ask for their help when seeking visions, particularly at Samhain and Imbolc.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: x-small;">Rowan wood may be used for making tools of divination, particularly a divining rod to locate metal. Amulets or talismans of rowan will also help in this regard.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: x-small;">The wine or tea may be taken to induce prophetic dreams and the incense burned whilst seeking visions.</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Its name is linked with the Norse word "runa", meaning "a charm", and the the Sanskrit "runa", meaning “a magician. Rune staves, sticks on which the runes were inscribed, were made of Rowan wood and it would be an appropriate wood to choose for making a set of ogham sticks if you wanted to make a set quickly without waiting to collect each stick from each of the relevant trees. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: x-small;">The berries or wood can also be used in an incense to banish undesirable entities and thought-forms. A rowan cross, made of two twigs of rowan, tied with red thread, may be hung in the home for protection. A rowan wand is used for casting a protective circle. Plant a protective rowan tree near your house.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: x-small;">Red is the colour which indicates the latent life and rebirth potential in the dead, as such red foods are used in feasts of the dead. At Samhain, when we seek to contact the Mighty Dead for their guidance, rowan foods and wine are suitable. "</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; text-indent: 36pt;"><br />

The sound of the tapping, insistent yet fitful, grew stronger and stronger. Freyja stopped, listened again, moved on; at last she stopped, eased her way down a narrow groin, and stepped into the sweltering smithy of the four dwarfs, Alfrigg and Dvalin, Berling and Grerr.”</i><br />
The use of the word groin, narrow ledge and the relation of sexuality, puberty and the change of voice places Freyja at the scene of the four parathyroid glands, above the pounding forge of the heart. Brilliantly the seers of Nordic mythology outline a road map to the place where Speech and the mighty warmth-ethers meet. A place where four roads meet. A crossroads and an anatomical intersection. Here something is to happen to Freyja that will shape the future of the human WORD. The Nordic initiates knew this, which makes works like these so startling. Here anatomy meets the gods. What brings Freyja here, trickling through a narrow bottleneck at the forge of the throat, the forge of the living WORD?<br />

I hesitated for a moment then emptied the bag out over the parapet and the wind whipped up this enormous red cloud. I could literally feel people in cars slowing down, the cars went all quiet. And there was this cloud, floating over the river like a layer of gas. When it came in contact with the water, all of a sudden the river turned green, it was like a shock wave. There was a crowded bus ten metres a way and everybody was staring at the water. I told Emile we should maybe move on, as if everything was perfectly normal, then I carefully put the bag in a trashcan, as if colouring the centre of Stockholm was the kind of thing I did every day. I went down to IASPIS and when I came out again my heart started jumping up and down like mad: the whole length of the river was completely green and all these people had stopped to look at it. Next day it was all over the front page of the papers: “The river turned green”. The colorant was absolutely harmless and there was no pollution whatsoever’.</span><br />
