hello to everyone still here and still watching

i guess, much water passed down the river since i've been here last time. i've changed quite a lot and yet, still've stayed the same. i don't think i'm the only one experiencing that what used to be days has become weeks, increasingly. i always feel like i'm waking up on monday mornings and going to bed on friday evenings again, after some crazy gods snipped their fingers to let those intermidiate days shoot by. space-matter seems to be definitely spirallling towards something. what's different for me, is that this isn't so scary anymore but actually rather exciting ...

anyway. while the world is taking its course, i'm taking my humble mine in its midst.

through amazon, i've recently ventured into the domain of ebooks. it was for a while really an issue of how to either submit to or overcome the incredible power of distribution in the 'real world'. with iphones and other reading devices, i suppose this problem has dissovled into 'past matter' since this time and age, almost everybody has already been distributed. sounds like another oak-king that has recently died ...

so i'm very proud to announce two mountains of mine to be available through amazon uk and us for your mobile e-reading pleasure:

SYSTEMICS is a neat collection of non-fiction. in fact, it contains all the work i've done in this field and in all likelihood all that i will ever do. why this is so, is explained through the peculiar time-reversed structure of the book. although the subject-matters are culture, society, beliefs and psychology (and while stylisically it is laid-out along the lines of humorous, polemic pop-journalism) the sub-context of the book is outright philosophical, based on aristotelian notions of common sense and bridging, over the vast, black pool of conspiracy, spirituality, psychology and human predicament, into eastern ideas of the dao. i guess, the more someone has already looked into the 'truth' about 'us' (which is, this time and age, possible for the first time, i'd say) the more 'fun' they will have reading despite all the seriousness ...

the same is also true with LOVE ETC, only that it requires prior knowledge that has more specifically to do with psychology and the whole mystery of the battle-of-the-sexes in order to unfold its innate, often hysterical, humour. this book is purely fiction (which indeed is the main focus of my work) and contains six short-stories with a theatre-play at the core. though each piece is ambitiously crafted in terms of technique (an entirely different tone-of-voice and thus style carrying forward each narrative), the book itself is primarily an exercise in a perhaps more kafkaesque tradition, that is - to convey certain unspeakable 'truths' about our human nature through purpusefully customised fictional tales ...

with this i'll say over and out again. maybe some of you might find this interesting. otherwise i'll still pop round every now and again to upload new images i'd need to get printed through deviantart's great shop.

the offer still remains to just add me on facebook whoever would like to keep in closer range.

much love, as always,

reinhard
