Antonio Dias | Something for Nothing
https://something4nothingnovel.wordpress.com/antonio-dias
I attend to the interplay of perception and creativity. We all find it difficult to see ourselves clearly past the gap between intentions and what is. I’ve asked some colleagues how they see what I do. 8216;To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.’ George Orwell. Someone blessed to live on a small island and work in a studio, perfecting a craft, influenced by nature, living one tide at a time. I have found in your writing an exploration of the edges of ‘everyday’ thoug...Fill in y...

A time to tend, gather, cultivate and care. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Newer posts →. 10 In the Dutch mountains. October 15, 2014. Pieterpad- Gramsbergen to Hardenberg. On the way up. For the introduction to this (hopefully)480 km journey, please click on the heading,’Walking the Pieterpad’ in the black bar above. This stretch of path took me into hilly (comparatively! View from the top. Here are a few shots from this trip. Lookout tower ontop of Alchemerberg. September 9, 2014.

Refigurations | Fear
https://www.refiguring.net/refigurations/Entries/2015/6/15_Fear.html
Fear makes us go around in circles. Deliberately avoiding those moments of recognition where we have an opportunity to embark on a different movement. Fear compels us to make the same mistakes often enough that we believe it is impossible for the world to be any different. Fear diverts our attention. Away from what we need to look at in order to learn. It prevents us from seeing reality. Clearly and infects our imagination. Fear breaks us when we try to hide from it. Then begins the healing.

Refigurations | Navigation
https://www.refiguring.net/refigurations/Entries/2015/5/22_Navigation.html
How to move without a clear destination in an unknown landscape? The premise of the search for a compass with which to navigate uncertainty that underpins this space is my experience of a kind of joyful disillusionment. With the co-ordinates I was given to traverse reality with. Discontentment with the way my world had been framed and with the limitations that the language I had acquired to describe reality imposed on me prompted a search for a different way of thinking and speaking. Which begins from hi...

Refiguring | What I do
https://www.refiguring.net/whatido.html
I am a researcher, writer and maker who is fascinated by the how and why of social and cultural change. On an everyday basis I am a teacher at Ry Højskole. In Denmark. I’m attracted to stories that have the quality or power to change the frames of reference and I like to connect people, to open up spaces for collaboration and help find the right format for good ideas to flourish. Below you’ll find examples of what this means in practice. Cat Lupton, writer, artist and curator of The Place Between Stories.

Refigurations | Imagination
https://www.refiguring.net/refigurations/Entries/2015/6/3_Imagination.html
We have reached a place where we have been before. We've come full circle and can see that somewhere along the road we've taken the wrong turn. We made a mistake we've made before. So we want change. We want to move differently. To avoid moving along with the cycle of conditioning that makes us move around in the same circle. To refigure our movement by connecting with new patterns, creating new ways of moving. Moving differently. How do we do that? A first clue is our mistake: we know where we don't.

Refiguring | Collaborate
https://www.refiguring.net/collaborate.html
Some of the most enjoyable and fruitful collaborations I have engaged in emerged because I asked. And in my view the single most important thing about the internet is that it allows people to connect who otherwise would never have met. As a researcher, writer, maker and teacher I am looking for collaborations with people who are heading in a similar direction. This could be to make a filmpoem. Create a taught course. Set up a community initiative. Or find new ways. To support yourself. If what I do.

Refiguring | On work
https://www.refiguring.net/on_work.html
ON WORKING AND WORKING IT OUT. Asking you to support my work. I’m open for that support to take different forms depending on what is possible and what feels appropriate (perhaps it is as simple as helping me connect with other people and projects). And I will explore different ways of reciprocating in turn. About this, illustrated by Gavin Aung Than). Giving up the idea of a career for something more indeterminate and nebulous has not been difficult although I expect that following. The point is that som...

Refigurations | Transforming sustainabilities
https://www.refiguring.net/refigurations/Entries/2015/1/22_Transforming_sustainabilities.html
The rhetoric of ‘sustainability’ doesn’t make much of a difference, ecologically speaking, to the policies that are rolled out under this banner in order to turn around the negative environmental impacts of industrialisation, overconsumption, pollution and habitat loss. And the fundamental reason for this is that sustainability is framed as an act of balancing human needs against environmental protection a calculation in which the needs (and wants) of humans very nearly always win out. Chapters 4 to 6 ar...

Refiguring | How I made this site
https://www.refiguring.net/how.html
HOW I MADE THIS SITE. I built this site with iWeb. Which is a simple, intuitive and completely out of date software that came with my Mac (Apple stopped developing it in 2011). There are quite a few similar and free template-based softwares out there for creating websites which save you the hassle of learning to programme (although that will of course take you into another realm of possibilities). I’m not going to explain how. Refiguring.net is registered through Gandi. Switching to Ecological and Dissid...
