Cécile B. Evans examines the value of emotions in contemporary societies, and their rebellion as they come
into contact with the physical and technological structures that increasingly impact our daily lives. Her
videos, which combine live action and digital animation, use narrative to negotiate the possibility of many
diverse realities within a common space

Hello hope you are well and happy. Just saying hi really. Enjoy!
“My primary interest in the Internet is as a condition or a tool, not just a medium. I am

influenced by the internet because I use it everyday and because it is a dominant
presence in society. I find most of my information online, I communicate and exchange

According to Pirkei Avot, a classical Jewish text of the third century of the common era, the first pair

a blacksmith must use a pair of tongs in oder to fashion a brand new pair of tongs. Accordingly,
God must have provided humankind with the first pair of tongs.[2]

I don't have time to waste. I want your attention for selfish reasons.
I am in isolation I take, two steps forward, and two steps back, all is speculative. It is all output and

I am scared I do not have the drive to affect all in the manner I hope too.

the arabic in the Hyperlinks piece isn’t written correctly, is it supposed to be like that?
Hi! Yes, I had this proofread by 2 Arabic language speakers (Kuwaiti Modern Standard Arabic) and
a print version of the SOFTNESS advertisement was published in Harper’s Bazaar Arabia- but you
are definitely not the first person to point this out…In the narrative, the commercial (and Haku) was
designed by the Japanese government, so an error (especially in tense) would have been feasible.
What mistake have you noticed?
None of the letters are written in their proper connected form. Most arabic letters are written
differently depending on where in a word they are placed, and most also connect to other adjacent
letters, but the letters in the commercial are all disconnected and in their standalone forms. A sort of
equivalent would be if I. W. R. O. T. E. L. I. K. E. T. H. I. S. This is a quite common mistake among
people who don’t read or write arabic, so it is plausible that the makers of the commercial could
make that mistake, as you say.
Gotcha, that’s good to finally understand! For knowledge’s sake, what is the correct spelling? (thank
you!)
if you connected all the letters in each word in the commercial it would be اﻟﻨﻌﻮﻣﺔ ﻣﻊ ﻫﺎﻛﻮ

2) Issues around two voices ‘performing’ together. So, for example, our default (with people we
like - to some extent) is that (sub those we dislike, our voices become increasingly dissimilar.
But also, time-based questions about listening, when to ‘jump in’, phatic noises that say “I’m
still listening”.
3) How many people can converse? I’ve seen 5 and 7 cited in different places. Past this number
and so-called ‘side’ conversations, or multiple conversations, break out. That’s how we are,
as humans.

3) There is interesting feminist work around the difference between how men and women
speak, why men don’t listen to women, and interrupt them, the connection between pitch and
perceived authority, all of that - see, for example

actually share meaning. The signified (the thing being talked about) is not the signifier
(the language denoting that thing). So taking conversation as one particular subset of all
language use, people in conversations are (in some sense) ‘misunderstanding’ one another
- ie not truly, fully understanding the other, even as they create new language together.
5) Conversation is about more than language or even voices; it’s the physical proximity of the
other: so sight, movement, touch, smell. It’s also about reading the other (tho you will find a
mountain of bullshit about that online). Which is why the bWhat is actually happening in

.... felt her German roots more powerful than her Rumanian birth. Fluent in German, Hungarian, Rumanian, Italian, English and Spanish. She hosts
international events in Sacred Geometry and Ananda’s Diamond Light Body training. She connects much of Europe with her facility with language
and tradition. Her husband died being irradiated by the ’secret societies’ for revealing the true Rumanian history also of World War II. The book was:

"Antonescu", (he was ghost writer for the signer Dragan European Foundation)- and also he wrote "The Origins of the Rumanian Language,
Literature and Nation".
It includes photos - and suggests the DACian and ’Traci ’- Tracian origins of Rumanian. (See Morningsky on the Orion queen origin of Mag vs Tak -
MagzDak.. see TAK=ORION below) - Traci / Dragi - Rumanian (including Transylvanian - Hungarian) were the closest to pure Draco language
of this planet. See Korinna’s book editing: "History of Romanian Literature". (by G.Calinescu, Nagard Publishers pres. J.C.Dragan, limited edition,
English 1988) Particularly helpful here are the sections tracing the real roots of St. Germain’s Dracul family blood in Transylvania.
(Her husband was TRAIAN FILIP, author also of "Falsifier of Images" largely dealing with George Calinescu - original source of ’History of
Romanian Literature’.)

2017. Artificial life isn’t really a new idea? Thinking about the alchemical homunculus and the golem
in jewish folklore.
NOTES ON HABITABILITY.
Objective thought is unaware of the subject of perception.It sees the world as a series of events and
views perception as one of the events. Modern Art is the one discipline which has not continued to
sophisticate its ability to externalize its information.Instead it has a 150 year recent history in
personal research of the soft fact areas of subjective response. This information is missing in all
habitability criteria and systems developed by a projected logic and methods. Further is not
obtainable by any
of the methods or disciplines heretofore used.
No amount of objective research can define the infinite variety of subjective responses and needs.
Design was the appendage of the objective logic to art and acted to replace sensate
consciousness
in the cultural application of technology.
With the resulting lie that you can replace subjective consciousness with a system of aesthetics.
This is attested to by our present humanist starved environment.
Symbols of life quantity have replaced subjectively felt qualities
Since we are all in part inculcated with this loss , it will not fully impact on short duration
(we can maintain this abstract relations on quality in short span or with constant diversion)
But as time spans out it will be necessary to have developed a real sensate conscious environment.

……
Hello Cécile. I have been at the exhibition of yours and Yuri´s work at the H.M. Klosterfelde Galerie
in Berlin. The idea of this work you did, brought me back to this text that artist Robert Irwin wrote in
1970. Are notes that he drew up in preparation for his participation in the first NASA habitability
symposium.
Do you think that this concepts in a way apply to virtual reality?
By the way. Thinking on the subject I found this interesting statement by Buzz Aldrin.
The second man that put his feet on the moon.
https://buzzaldrin.com/mit-technology-review-the-imperative-to-explore/
In a way online life, and even more virtual life, seem to me like a way to solve the disappointment of
not having been able to develop new explorable spaces. In a historical time when we do not seem
to perceive the earth anymore as endless, a fear that Humanity enjoyed for centuries. A sense of
vasty, and unknown, that we do not have any more. Kind regards. Lucio
Hey lucio, thanks for your thoughts, especially at a time when human life is urgent. it is nice to be
reminded of the potential for evolution and enlightenment- which is what i think you are talking
about? Currently developing an astronaut/time traveller character loosely based on Mae Jemison so
this link to habitability/Buzz/the unknown is really useful. Will get back to you soon but in the
meantime check out Yuri’s work half relief shelter zone for user, space (hexayurt configuration)
which was influenced by the NASA clean air study
65
Thanks Cecile for your answer. Yes, indeed I find like you that to remind the potential for evolution
and enlightenment is truly necessary. I experienced that at your piece “What the heart wants” at the
Berlin Biennale. Thanks a lot for that.
I will check the Yuri´s work that you link. The Nasa article looks very interesting.
Thank you.
Kind greetings.
l
I have checked Yuri Pattison´s installation. The photos and info that I found on the internet. I wish
I could visit it, but is not possible at the moment. I live in Berlin and just cannot find the time-money
to go there at the moment. In any case. He is working spaces, and specifically workers spaces. I
have been reading on working on something about spaces that I would like to share. I have read
this by Merleau Ponty.
Space is not the setting (real or logical) in which things are arranged, but the means whereby the
position of things becomes possible. This means that instead of imagining it as a sort of ether in
which all things float, or conceiving it abstractly as a characteristic that they have in common, we
must think of it as the universal power enabling them to be connected.
Is interesting to think space not as something that is fulfilled but something that enables things to
connect. In a way things determine the space. And space enables them to connect. Im at the
moment working with an old analog sequencer that I bought one year ago or so. I am not a techno
musician.
I like it but I do other kind of music, sometimes it can even get techno but is not my intention to do
so.
65
In any case. Usually the sequencers are meant to create rhythmic patterns. But I noticed, that the
device, at least the one that I have, is always sounding. So when you have to play a silence you
have to not allows the machine to sound in the place that you chose-compose, what takes you to
compose the silences. Usually we think silences as something that you fulfill with sound, but in this
case is the contrary. Is interesting because with spaces is the same , the Merleau text takes you not
to think to fulfill the space, but to perceive it or to create it according to what we do with things and
where we place them. I will exchange some questions about Yuri´s work soon whenever I find some
time.
Thank you.

non-psychotic (?) draw to disaster narratives in media/culture coming from desire for/lack of unity
and the love that comes from it, displays privilege of general freedom from survival-driven lifestyle
(where there is imminent threat to life). Would additionally explain why artists are drawn to

Hi Cecile. I saw How Happy A Thing Can Be at the Kunsthalle Wein a year ago and have been
thinking about it since. The piece resonated with me in such a pervasive way that I’ve been trying to
catch enough of the reverberations to string into coherence in order to communicate. I haven’t
gotten far. I think that I felt eased. Here are some thoughts; I’ll add to them as they come and
remove as I get embarrassed. I’m already embarrassed.
him it was anonymous. I don’t understand why, as people, we’re expected to hide our
thoughts from others, to hide ourselves. It’s as though we should be ashamed of anything
underneath a surface representation of ourselves. I think and I feel and I want to share those
things. Why do I so often feel discouraged to do so? Is humanness that terrifying? Am I that
🧘
scary? Is it that I’m too strange? Function like all the rest and full stop
The space I inhabit does not feel real, and it is not.
The constructs of visibility/invisibility are complex, and deeply personal. I once had a critic criticize a
position a work of mine took on the historical invisibility of women, and laborers, and said that
invisibility can provide power. It was 2014 and I’m assuming he had just seen Hito Steyerl’s work
How Not to Be Seen? Which is a great work, and not totally wrong- but is not using reason or
applying context. Also to allow people to decide context, and to decide how, not, or to be seen- for
65
themselves. Otherwise, it’s the person assigning value to visibility positioning themselves at the top
of a hierarchical construct. They are, likely, power grabbing.
I may be confined to anonymity until I comment, if I understand the open google doc correctly.
Thank you, by the way, for sharing Steyerl’s How Not to Be Seen. I’m captivated by the idea of
becoming invisible by becoming smaller than a pixel--rather intriguing notion given in our
increasingly audiovisual culture. Though I’m left asking myself what pixels capture. Steyerl seems to
imagine a world in which technology is the subject that perceives and thinks, and it is humankind
that digests these images as already made, a sort of autopoiesis on the part of the technology.
Pixels are the eyes as well as the screens, much like our own brain. Humankind, then, are the
floating-chaired sloths in Wall-E (don’t think, consume). I’d go so far as to say that pixels have
replaced our brain in Steyerl’s imagined world. If pixels are analogous to our brains then it does not
matter that humankind cannot see smaller than the individual pixel. The pixel is still capturing
something. You are not invisible if smaller than a pixel because the pixel nonetheless sees you. It’s
humankind that cannot see you. Though how much does this really matter in this imagined world,
for technology is the one thinking and how can we perceive anything if we are not thinking? We
often do this now. We see but do not see. I was moved by Guan Xiao’s David, which touches on
some of this. I saw it at this year’s Venice Biennale; someone’s uploaded a recording:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3Y7UpGPZXg
----
What I appreciate so much about HS re: seeing pixels is HS’s seemingly acute awareness of the
shadow of human behind or acknowledgement of human as creator of the pixel. Have been thinking
a lot about the weirdness/problems of turning a blind eye to human touch ---- like to say a landscape
painting is non-human or signifies the absence of human- as it then assumes the human gaze as
65
neutral (except when given context within fiction). The landscape is still painted how a subjective
being has seen it, even if the human paints it “as a giraffe would see it” it’s still a painting of a
human’s perspective on how a giraffe would see a landscape. How much of this could be down to a
desire to absolve or not deal with one’s own subjective limitations? I am also drawn to autonomy
and think it’s possible to think about autonomous/non autonomous aspects of entities- such as HS’s
“pixels”- in a layered or parallel way- I suppose that’s what constitutes a profound work :) Personally
feel it allows for the sense of human longing & desire for there to be something beyond ourselves,
(The pixel is still capturing something. You are not invisible if smaller than a pixel because the pixel
nonetheless sees you. It’s humankind that cannot see you. )
while maintaining the frustration that no such thing has been conceived of, perceived of by humans,
or rather- achieved (that we know of).
i.e. acknowledging the limitations/current state/not ignoring one’s own subjective lens
yeah Guan Xiao’s work is so good. Thanks for sharing this one, didn’t know it.
Not sure if this is what you mean but yes there is usefulness in sometimes looking at something with
the acknowledgement that you are not really seeing it- not able to see all of its parts and therefore
not able to even see the sum of its parts.
65

a positive or pejorative sense.

Hi Cecile B. Evans
65
I loved your video, it was insightful, entertaining and visually beautiful. You shine light on such
important experiences. The medium of video is still so untapped, still so fresh especially with the
genesis of all these new technologies. I hope i can watch another of your works soon/
Hi Cecile,
How do you think Phil affects the image of the original famous actor? Will Phil have an impact on his
heritage? Do we forget about death when we see dead people digitally alive? Do we want to be
famous because we think that it’s the same as escaping death? I don’t want to be famous though
haha
Xx
Hi! I can’t say whether this has an effect on individual perceptions of the original actor’s image, but I
doubt it even makes a dent in the global perception of this image- which I chose because it would
always be larger than anything else, even the original actor himself. I’ve often wondered if this was a
burden or a blessing- to be able to live in the shadow of one’s image. There was an understanding
that it would be a “bad copy”, an homage of kinds, and that people would already come to the video
with their own relationship to the image.
We do not, ever, forget about death I don’t think- we make copies and versions of humanity A.
because our humanity is inescapable, it’s how we see things and B. in attempt to get closer to
seeing things we’ve always considered immaterial (though I would say that true immateriality is
impossible).
Not sure about being famous, but the photograph, the digital image, all of it- are storage mediums.
They are placeholders for memories, which outlast us by miles. Biological systems have definite end
dates. I have an aversion to having my photograph taken and this makes me wonder if that means a
part of me is in complete denial of death? All of this is off-record btw- we saw your email and would
rather know what you think in your writing :). At this point, what I have to say is not as interesting.
65
Thanks so much, and I respect the off-record. Was just intrigued by your open notes, and the fact
that I could correspond with you here. Thank you for taking the timlways be larger than anything
else, including himself, but I suppose it’s all small actions, projects, images surrounding him
including your (amazing, according to me) piece that builds and reinforces or deconstructs this
image, which doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It’s just a fact of life and technology, I guess.
I think it’s interesting what you say regarding placeholders for memories, I think we have a difficult
time separating the photograph from the memory and in turn from reality, and we often interpret
both memory and photography as complete and absolute truths. Which is very understandable, as
photography makes a good case for itself, as does one’s brain. :-) When really none of them are
true, but some of them might be closer to the truth than others. And photography always messes
with memory. I think it’s sometimes even more confusing with animation, because it’s like a
resurrection or after-life, or at least as a viewer I can sometimes catch myself thinking about the
animation as the truth as well, or as this”.
Maybe having an aversion towards having your photograph taken isn’t a denial of death but rather a
wish to not mess with people’s actual memories of you? I don’t know.

Salut, on est le 14/11/2019 à 12:00. Nous sommes en workshop à Angers. Je viens du
Mans et c’est mon anniversaire ! j’ai 21 ans, la vie est belle mais ce monde est cruel.
Comment faire ? Pour soigner l’humain ? Pour créer l’avenir ? Tant de questions que
l’on se pose, auxquelles personne n’a de réponse, ou personne n’a la même. Chaque
vie, chaque chose, est unique et individuelle, mais elle coéxiste. Je me pose des
questions sur mon avenir, dois je contacter un marabout ? Je ne crois pas. Mais tout a
si peu de sens, la société est complexe, variée et étendue, impossible d’en faire un
portrait claire. Et pourtant le temps n’attend pas, et on se retrouve perdu dans le flot
de la vitesse, le FLUX de la vie. Tout va si vite, on nous borde l’esprit et on nous envoie
courir un marathon les yeux fermées. Ils y a des solutions aux problèmes mais tout les
problèmes n’on pas les mêmes valeurs. Le monde est complexe. Il est difficile de se
retrouver ici bas, personne ne peut nous aider, à moins que ? Je pense que notre
entourage est la base de notre survie, mieux notre entourage nous supporte, est
derrière nous, mieux on vit. Dans l'entourage je ne pense pas qu’aux proche, c’est
l’environnement, le pays la ville, la maison. Toutes les échelles impact nos vie. Il faut
être attentif à tout. C’est épuisant. Et l’idée de raccourcir son séjour nous traverse
l’esprit. Mais il faut être. Sinon plus rien n’a de sens, le chaos nous envahit mais si on
ne lutte pas c’est inutile. Le combat la vie le future le flux l’amour… Le monde.

WILL YOU READ MY THESIS THAT I NEVER SUBMITTED AND IS JUST LYING AROUND DOING
NOTHING (I AM DOING THE SAME THING AS WELL)? Iit ntersects object oriented ontology with
Afro-pessimism in order to conceptualise a data abolitionist project within the context of speculating on a
future autonomous art-form
And observes contemporary art production as a planetary computational affect machine/metadata capture
society
The circulation of metadata is preceded by the circulation of bodies. Before the aggregation of metadata
enabled the first mass participation into artistic production and semiocapitalist production, the Atlantic slave
trade enabled the first mass participation of land ownership in the ‘New World’ and the modern liberal
development of capitalism.
xPROPOSITION-
is it possible to desire something other than the affirmation of the human subject? For non-human actors to
desire something other than their capture and expropriation into anthropocenic teleology? How do we supply
futurity to social life (both post-human and non-human) by engineering the next machine? A future art in
which value ceases to be the metric of our difference?

+++Hi Cécile,
Just a few lines because as you know Gillo has passed away.
I’m through your pages thanks to him.
Hi cécile xoxo i saw your hyperlinks piece multiple times in my school and i so was heavily influenced by it as
well as hito steyerls writings! my final film is about a 19th century portrait that talks to a drone about vertical
perspective and i used mocap to animate them. would love to hear ur thoughts <3333333
I’m not even really sure to write and - maybe - i shouldn’t write anything … but what an incredible resource.
Thank you for ‘allowing’ this and being a source of creative strength for many.

Why do i love looking outside the window Halo Cecile! What do you
think about the extractive attention economy? I think to focus is a little
harder nowadays. We are constantly distracted by so many things more
than before, do you think it affects our ability to
perceive our emotions?*thinking emoji* *curled under a kitchen

Heyo, i think you’re right.. It is a lil harder to focus on one thing at a time nowadays,... but as long as we’re
aware of it we can work with it!! :-) hhghghg
This is so fire.
