TTT is not a space for arguments and disputes but for gifts, insights, suggestions, visions, desires of ours and perhaps even love if once a penguin will disappear inside of us.
(In case anybody would like to be removed from the list of this net please send us back three capital letters NWP /not willing to participate.)

Another great motto for TTT sent to us Jon Moscow it is in perfect tune with true spirit and direction of intellectual researches of our times:
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.
Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment is intuition.

Cool After Hot is an artistic project which tries to enter the everyday life routine within art practices and aims to actualize conflict within every possible field of artistic creativity. The mechanism of conflictive events must be initiated, installed and firmly kept alive by force (sustained even artificially) within any society of any cultural period as it is the only guaranty to enable resisting and avoiding the culturalizing influence of culture which weakens and corrupts art/creative practices turning vital celebrations (of creativity) into mere forceless spectacle and the awakening drama of wars into illusory movie battles.
Exploding, destabilizing, reversing, offensive strategies which we want to employ don t ruin and distract they aim to shake our pleasing and comforting way of thinking and judgment and also to make a rupture in our attachments to the hermetic system of common and fashionable values which are only shallow superstitions based on profound doxas. Culture turns commitments into chat, and reduces creative forces to serve routine the masquerade of well being which uses pleasant looking labels as cultural relations , cultural affairs and cultural paradise .
The project will attempt to find a seed of a conflict within every event around the inhabited space trying to open new reflective facilities in the accustomed and harmless territories.
The Total Thirst (TTT) is a result of the wrong look which is directed not to the phenomena but to the open sky where nothing is to grasp, to communicate, to be part of, to consume it is just a run (of objectless and aimless desire/love) within something widely open, which surely vanishes us or me .

Yesterday I walked down through the darkness when one hardly can see or hear anything except the shadows and their sounds which are surrounding you.
It s a daring experience to allow yourself to walk without light; let yourself be in this uncomforting gloom of insecure space. But at the end you become one with this boundless abyss of darkness, not being focused and attached to the limited (and ridiculous in its miserable limitation) dot-patch which your flashlight is able to illuminate.
On the way down where I was moving one has to cross a street which suddenly reveals the entire sky above you. In this moment I became aware of a stunning contradiction between my existence and the existence just as it is.
I felt unbearable longing to become one with this roaring void open above me but as a meter of fact my presence was strictly limited to my body which is only the width and height, the distance I can create by stepping on the earth or stretching here my arms and fingers as much as I can till it hurts. So I had to admit that despite my gorgeous will towards boundless this will is not even able to create a tiny pimple on my own skin.
So I had once again, but this time very touchy and painful sensation that it s only the immaterial inside of us (our mind and our soul) what has a potency to come into oneness with the world.
But unfortunately the human mind always circles on the orbit around a human body and comprehends it as the very centre of the creation. The escape from this situation is only the immense hit ( Outpacing Energy ) which one has to obtain. Only this heat can free the mind from that orbit and to let a free travel begin throughout wherever, as a burning comet does on its own path in the universe.
I connected this to the only true and fearless understanding of death as the supreme liberation we all have to live and work for in our short lives within this particular case live is the ultimate celebration.

Flashing into my head. I saw this video with friends during Thanksgiving a few years ago and just now have rediscovered it. It's a exceedingly creative usage of this machine and a strange blending of a person with a mechanical device.

I feel that the outpacing energy is not much based on the motivation of performance.
You can perform extravagantly like Opening ceremony at Olympic: or the pictures of rope bikers in China

but here, there is no individual desire but only authoritarian commands.
There is no personal awareness and need for understanding as well as creativity.
somehow, this silly performance( professional skater breaking out of his normal classical performance) impacts me more.

just a couple of things I read which I wanted to share with all of you:
When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extra-
ordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; your
mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands
in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and
wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents
become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater
person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.
-- Patanjali
Love is the ark appointed for the righteous,
Which annuls the danger and provides a way of escape.
-- Jalal ud-Din Rumi
Why does the mystic celebrate Passover? Because the slavery of
the ancient Jews in Egypt is a slavery to which we can all relate.
The pharaoh of our ego mind would bind us to the meaningless-
ness and pain of a life of fear. Yet God lifted up his servant Moses,
as He lifts up hope in all of us. All of us feel the whip of Pharaoh,
and all of hear, if we listen well, the voice of Moses calling us out
of bondage. Our bondage might be an addiction, a dysfunctional
relationship, or a self-defeating pattern. And like the Israelites
who initially resisted Moses, we fear the flight to freedom might
be worse that our slavery.
-- Marianne Williamson
