UniverseMelding

[Rough Draft]

My mythological universe of SOMDEland represents my subconscious and also the collection of artwork and ceremonies that I do. I want to create bridges and creative spaces that exist between my universe and other people's universes. Eventually this page will house examples of this.

Things to think about

• What establishes a creative universe?

• What establishes a bridge between these universes?

  • Is every collaboration a bridge? Or are there specific requirements that make it a bridge between universes?

• How is someone helping out with my vision different than a bridge? For example, is DaveFrankel's help in creating the Symbiosis Null video game a bridge? In a way it is not because it doesn't include DaveFrankel's creative universe.

  • So, is a bridge where I help someone else out with their creative vision and, in doing so, I deposite a piece of myself that lives within that space?

Potential Examples:

• DM

  • SymbiosisNull

  • The "theories" from our past

• Dave Frankel

  • BasementMan: the mixture of SOMDEland and Dave Frankel's universe

  • And how Dave Frankel's universe mixed with mine in the Symbiosis Null video Game

• EL

  • Mystical Universe of creatures that live in a physical garden

  • Doctor Zzymbrr?

• Fish Crew

  • Fish Dance: the mixture SOMDEland and fish research where Zzymbrr is represented as a fish

• Christina Yen Party?

  • Is this a mixing of universes?

• MM

  • Co-creating and co-teaching a course at WHS?

  • The course does not run anymore...is it a universe meld?

• Gabe

  • Our educational videos?

  • I offered ideas, however I was mostly an actor and I didn't include any of my artwork...is that a universeMeld?
