MILTOS MANETAS ON THE FOURTH TATE TRIENNIAL
MILTOS:The Triennale Show in Tate: horrible..
I was there today giving a talk about Internet Art and presenting the InternetPavilion for the Biennale.

Consumable pseudocyclical time is spectacular time, both in the narrow sense as time spent
consuming images and in the broader sense as image of the consumption of time. The time spent
consuming images (images which in turn serve to publicize all the other commodities) is both
the particular terrain where the spectacle’s mechanisms are most fully implemented and
the general goal that those mechanisms present, the focus and epitome of all particular
consumptions.
Thus, the time that modern society is constantly seeking to “save” by increasing transportation
speeds or using packaged soups ends up being spent by the average American in watching television
three to six hours a day. As for the social image of the consumption of time, it is exclusively
dominated by leisure time and vacations — moments portrayed, like all spectacular commodities,
at a distance and as desirable by definition. These commodified moments are explicitly presented
as moments of real life whose cyclical return we are supposed to look forward to.
But all that is really happening is that the spectacle is displaying and reproducing itself
at a higher level of intensity. What is presented as true life turns out to be merely a more
truly spectacular life.?
-Guy Debord

paintings figuring out the relation of the parts within the picture, but the same people
are often disinclined to think about a three-dimensional installation in the same way.
Is there something in the nature of the experience that is so different?

Charles Saatchi and his best friend were walking through a beautiful meadow.
The flowers were in bloom.they kissed and rolled in the
flowers.suddenly from out of the ground came a large
monster. Charles Saatchi attacked it, the creature touched Charles Saatchi's
arm and he felt a sharp pain. Charles Saatchi's sword flew off. he
looks at his arm an sees it is now stone. Charles Saatchi runs to
whack the beast with his arm and the monster touches
Charles Saatchi's forehead and he turns to stone.the monster
pushed Charles Saatchi back and he shattered into a million
pieces..
Charles Saatchi's Best friends Account:
I watched it all.the beast went back into the ground.
Charles Saatchi was gone.i ran up to the dust that was left.gone.
suddenly it began to spin around me.i saw Charles Saatchi's face
in the swirling dust."i love you" he said.i cried.
those were Charles Saatchis last words.the dust stopped.i noticed
a glowing blue locket on me.i opened it and suddenly
i was standing on a cloud with Charles Saatchi in front of me!
we hugged."i love you"he said before i awoke in the
meadow.i went home to the castle.i never saw Charles Saatchi again
until the full moon.
THE ANGEL
i awoke an death mountain.i was....dead.i walked to the
edge of the cliff.it was a full moon.it was beautiful.
like my best friend.sigh..i will never see her again.
little did i know she was watching me from her castles
tower.i flew into the moon.

Tell me if you like him and I will put you in touch with him. He is also very nice to talk..
All best
