Frontierland Bracelets Leather Disneyland
Ever since I arrived to Berlin I have been searching different confetti for the project and yesterday I decided that it is enough! I can make my own and in that way I can really decide about the quality, the shapes and the colours !
So here I show you the two varieties I made !
Somehow I also start thinking about the confetti shootings as actual drawings. Relating them to the whole idea of the absolute present...what could be better that a confetti happening? what is more ephemeral than that!?- Of course I will document everything...you know-.
In the other post I added the pre -text of the project in English and now I add it in English:
Confetti
This title frames a series of actions consequence of using confetti. I propose this material as a symbol that really shows the inflexion point in perception when it is used: the moment you scream ¡Surprise! Or when we celebrate new years eve among others. It makes the difference, it makes a “ It is not what is was before” (before you didn't know there were thirty people hidden in your living room to celebrate your birthday and now you do). Other materials have been used with the same aim as the raw rice in weddings (before you were single and now you are not).
Then, we can say that confetti is P-R-E-S-E-N-T in capital letters. That kind of present that achieves immortality in the photographs forever.
It has some features that really help to the assumption of this symbol. It is formed by dozens of colorful, soft and light small pieces of paper. In this way it can fill the space and invade the atmosphere very quickly. Because of all this, confetti really gets into you physically and emotionally.
A consequence of being such a P-R-E-S-E-N-T thing is that its life is really short. I think those little pieces of paper don't even have to touch the floor to die. It seems that as soon as they are perceived, as soon as the messenger gives the message, it is over. We don't even have to say how annoying it becomes as soon as it gets the floor and mixes with liquids and other common elements found on the party floor.
Personally, I think it is a material that symbolizes and illustrates the here and now. The “live the present” that is recommended by this new and famous spiritual guru Echhart Tolle in his book “The power of now”.
But, what if...we freeze it!? What if we stop that moment and analyze it from multiple angles? And observe it looking for performance patterns! Speed curves! Physics models that represent it! Well...I think Eckhart Tolle would totally disagree with our way of trying to understand the present. But what the hell! I am sure he is doing bottox! Oh gosh.. Is it less reprehensible? Doesn't everybody try to freeze those moments considered perfect? Trying to extend orgasms throughout tantric sex, keeping the youth (usually lost already) or holding a smile for fifty seconds until the timer shoots the pic, these are the day by day of our present, past and future.
That is why I want to study confetti, analyze it from multiple points of view using as many tools as I can. It doesn't really offer any functional information but, as David Armengol says talking about Fermin Jimenez Landa works, “[the trap and the fiction] is an invalid resource in science but highly seductive in art”
The formal concretion of the project will be a series of photographs and drawings of confetti launches as the previous studies to build some sculptures of it afterwards to keep each piece of paper in the climax forever, preventing them from loosing their value.
So far I started to shoot confetti launches from one point of view and I will start shooting theme from multiple points of view to Be Able to create three-dimensional PLANS for the sculptures.

Symptoms Of Hiv The Next Day
The crisis of the social, industrial and educational
If anything distinguishes humans from other animals is their ability to acquire, accumulate and transmit knowledge between generations.
animals, however, do not have the transmission capacity or if they do it with an undetectable level and follow the long path of evolution
Accelerating the transfer of knowledge between generations has grown in recent centuries in parallel with increased life expectancy of human beings. Clearly, then, that greater longevity has been a catalyst for our development. (Life expectancy at birth in 1900 was 34.8 years versus 78.7 years in 1998 (1).
not confuse knowledge with information and data. The speed of transmission of information and data through Internet has improved access to it. Access to libraries, bookstores, communication, and to the activity Outdated commercial Internet. But the Internet, like a book or a school providing information, not knowledge.
Knowledge is the result of experience under rationality or intuition.
When experience is based on a solid base is transformed into useful knowledge. The experience itself does not provide knowledge, only unstructured information. Experience as a means to contrast different theories and ideas generated by our brains if they are the source of knowledge.
This applies both when the results have been positive and while it has been. From the mistakes we learn. The path knowledge, continuous learning is trial and error attempts.
Knowledge is irreplaceable. Nothing can substitute. Today
companies in a bid to reduce costs, staff dispense more than 45 years. It is questionable whether this will bring benefit to the company, but obviously can destabilize knowledge. The worst part is that the younger generation to see this phenomenon, read and make the best employees do not stay in the same company for over two years. They learned quickly that employer and employee do not always share common goals. It has broken the link necessary to share a common project.
can be understood Some companies look for their survival and others prepare a "sale" with the lowest ratio apparent "cost per employee, although the package is sold adorned with the results of recent years.
But recently I read in a report released by IBM in 1500 after interviewing CEOs of major corporations worldwide, with the increasing complexity, decisions to adapt to changes are made without sufficient time to analyze them depth. You have to decide quickly despite the uncertainty. "Capitalizing on Complexity . Insights from the Global Chief Executive Officer - IBM 2010 .
With this view I wonder How reliable are their decisions?.
If entrepreneurially is therefore debatable, what is not socially questionable is that resources are wasted a significant portion of society with a high level of useful knowledge. Unlike previous generations which warranted physical fatigue retirement at 65, nothing justifies the social waste of wasting so much talent for dubious business strategies.
are idle resources, often with large capacity, which far to contribute their knowledge potential barrier was put out before the inevitable.
If the transmission of knowledge has been our best evolutionary tool for the great leap that human society has made over the last two centuries, my obvious question is, Where do we go in the future? What is the future society? Is it a sustainable model? Is not that now when we need any more knowledge?

The organization viewed as SYSTEM (2 ª part)
To understand how an organization should be viewed as a system in which what defines the functionality and behavior of all is the interrelationship of its components.
In my blog of July 26 defining a vision system with Deming, an organization that works because all its components have a common purpose that unites them.
A living being, an orchestra or a company are good examples of systems.
In considering this perspective the organization learn how intuition misleads us and that many decisions are inadequate, precisely because the interactions side effects or delayed in time who are counter-intuitive.
In the "system dynamics", studies the interaction between different elements outlining loops of interactions between them.
Peter Senge (1990) in his "Fifth Discipline" based on studies in the "System Dynamics" A list of 11 errors in making managerial decisions.
enumerate only 4:
a. problems "now" coming from the solutions of "yesterday"
As a medicine may benefit a long-term organ damage, but other organs and cause new problems, so it is in business organizations, where seemingly good solutions can cause big problems today morning. B.
Things always "better" before "worse"
serves the above example, before the applied medicine show side effects, we will see is a temporary improvement. An erroneous cost reduction will always produce an improvement in the short-term, but their long-term consequences could be dire. C.
"small changes" can produce "great consequences"
not always easily identify the levers, but to find are those organizational elements that produce less stress long term a greater effect, positive or negative. Same thing happens in medicine, a small change in the habits of a person have a major impact in the long term. D.
cause-effect relationships are not evident, since it does not coincide in either space or time
It took us 150 years to emit CO2 to the atmosphere to realize its effects on the ecosystem.
It follows that decision requires a thorough analysis of the system. The creation of mathematical models that simulate a system it remains a theoretical exercise, but expensive and not very useful in most cases. Nor are essential and is usually sufficient to use mental maps standards for all relationships. Learn to appreciate the system.
addition
organizations evolve, they co-evolve with their environment, since each organization is formed by people who in turn are part of a set of social, cultural, environmental and changing values.
A company has an organization that may appear to be stable at a time. But stability is always a fraction of the time between two changes. The "System dynamics allows us to study the behavior of this fraction of time. With a change interrelationships changes.
If the forces against change are strong, the system ossify and die for lack of adaptability. On the contrary, if the forces of change than the opposite unchecked, the system can get into a situation of chaos that inestabilice to extinction.
The choice is not chaos versus organization, the real choice is that organizations have the capacity to learn to improve continuously. This requires reducing the barriers of authority and create conditions for free thinking, brainstorming, autonomy from hierarchical centralism, continuous flow of information in all the senses and ability to reorganize.
an organization to adapt continuously to improve learning and innovation must have a management style that is able to keep it in an area close to chaos, where creativity is expressed and the innovation and creativity have their raison d'être.

Famosas Mexicanas Mostrando Follando
"(...) the invisible can be seen, so to speak, in two ways.
1.Containing-visible in the visible, invisible to the order of the visible and secret I can keep removing it from view. This can avoid artificially invisible to the eye but remain in what is called the externality (if I hide a nuclear arsenal in a basement or an explosive in a cache, it is also an area, and if I hide a part of my body under a dress or a veil, hide is also an area in another area: everything is hidden and becomes invisible yet it is in the order of visibility, constitutively visible. Similarly, in another order of examples, and according to another structure, what we call inside the body (my heart, my kidneys, my blood, my brain) is, of course, as they say, invisible, but are of the order of the visible : an operation or an accident could expose them to the surface, its interior is temporary, its invisibility can be proposed or offered for view.)
All this is about as in-visible visible.
2. But we also have the absolute invisibility and absolutely non-visible, not everything is for registration of sight, sound, musical, sonority (and therefore the phonological or discursive sense), plus also the tactile and Odor. And desire, as curiosity, as the experience of shame and the unveiling of the secret, the unveiling of the pudendal or "seeing in secret" (videre in abscondito), all that movement - leading, in the secret, secret, beyond the play constantly, can only play between these dimensions of the invisible: invisible and visible hidden, invisible encrypted or non-visible as other than the visible "
