In this essay, I am going to present historical artifacts of a certain geometrical symbol that is known in contemporary history as the Flower of Life. Origin of the symbol is in the ancient Mesopotamia and it dates back to the 2nd millennium BC or earlier. I have documented the usage of the symbol roughly from 1600 BC to 1600 AD. The reader of this document is expected to be familiar with basics of the Flower of Life geometry1. Elementary knowledge of the ancient Near East history and history of mathematics is helpful. Knowledge of visual arts, geometry, and comparative religion studies are also useful. I hope my independent research provides a valuable resource for people to do further investigation in the topic....

This pseudo-album contains all kind of abnormal, bad, ill, un-artistical drawings; that is why it is called "Dysdrawings" and it is part of the oUTER-aRT. “Outer-Art” is a movement set up as a protest against, or to ridicule, the random modern art which states that everything is… art! It was initiated by Florentin Smarandache, in 1990s, who ironically called for an upside-down artwork: to do art in a way it is not supposed to be done, i.e. to make art as ugly, as silly, as wrong as possible, and generally as impossible as possible. (Hugues Desaert)...

“The way of how not to write, which is an emblem of paradoxism, was later on extended to the way of how not to paint, how not to design, how to not sculpture, until the way of how not to act, or how not to sing, or how not to perform on the stage – thus: all reversed. Only negative adjectives are cumulated in the outer-art: utterly awful and uninteresting art; disgusting, execrable, failure art; garbage paintings: from crumpled, dirty, smeared, torn, ragged paper; using anti-colors and a-colors; naturalist paintings: from wick, spit, urine, feces, any waste matter; misjudged art; self-discredited, ignored, lousy, stinky, hooted, chaotic, vain, lazy, inadequate art (I had once misspelled 'rat' instead of 'art'); obscure, unremarkable, syncopal art; para-art; deriding art expressing inanity and emptiness; strange, stupid, nerd art, in-deterministic, incoherent, dull, uneven art... as made by any monkey!… the worse the better!” (Florentin Smarandache)...

Excerpt Details
The surrealist image attempts to short-circuit the distinction between the substance and the form of representation by playing upon (by both extending and contracting) the distance between the sign (or the icon as subsumed within a given significant system) and its supposed, intended or anticipated meaning. The written word as imagined in the painting of Miro is language itself finally revealed in its essential nature, namely, as a specific form of the imaginary. And the image, grounded in the free workings of the human mind—fixed and yet unstable as in photography, mutable and yet constant as in film—reveals itself essentially as ‘abstraction’: the image, that is, thought itself....

About the main psychological and philosophical aspects detached from the film Solaris directed by Andrei Tarkovski, as well as the cinema techniques used by the director to convey his messages to the spectator. In the "Introduction" I briefly present the relevant elements of Tarkovski's biography and an overview of Stanislav Lem's Solaris novel and the film Solaris directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. In "Cinema Technique" I talk about the specific rhythm of the scenes, the radical movement triggered by Tarkovsky in modern cinema, the role of symbolic and iconic elements, and affinities with the fantastic area of Russian literature. In Psychological Aspects I analyze the issue of communication in a human society of the future considered by Tarkovsky as rigid, the obsession of the house, and the personal evolution of Kris, Hari, and the relationships between them. In Philosophical Aspects, the film is analyzed through the philosophy of the mind (Cartesian dualism, reductionism and functionalism), the problem of personal identity, the theory of heterotopic spaces developed by Michel Foucault, and the semantic interpretations that can be dedu...

Principalele aspecte psihologice și filosofice desprinse din filmul Solaris regizat de Andrei Tarkovski, precum și tehnicile cinematografice utilizate de regizor pentru a-și transmite mesajele spectatorului. În ”Introducere” prezint pe scurt elementele relevante din biografia lui Tarkovski și o prezentare generală a romanului Solaris a lui Stanislav Lem și filmul Solaris în regia lui Andrei Tarkovsky. În ”Tehnica cinematografică” vorbesc despre ritmul specific al scenelor, mișcarea radicală declanșată de Tarkovsky în cinematografia modernă, rolul elementelor simbolice și iconice, , și afinitățile cu zona fantastică a literaturii ruse. În ”Aspecte psihologice” analizez problema comunicării într-o societate umană a viitorului considerată de Tarkovsky ca rigidă, obsesia casei, și evoluția personală a lui Kris, Hari, și a relațiilor dintre ei. În ”Aspecte filosofice” se analizează filmul prin prisma filosofiei minții (dualismul cartezian, reducționismul și funcționalismul), a problemei identității personale, a teoriei spațiilor heterotopice dezvoltată de Michel Foucault, și interpretările semantice care se pot deduce din film.

Andrei Tarkovski (1932 - 1986) s-a născut în Rusia. Tarkovsky a regizat primele cinci din cele șapte filme ale sale (Copilăria lui Ivan (1962), Andrei Rublev (1966), Solaris (1972), Oglinda (1975) și Călăuza (1979)) în Uniunea Sovietică; ultimele sale filme, Nostalgia (1983) și Sacrificiul (1986), au fost produse în Italia și Suedia. Andrei Rublev, Solaris, Oglinda și Călăuza sunt listate în mod regulat printre cele mai mari filme ale tuturor timpurilor. Ingmar Bergman a fost citat spunând: "Tarkovsky pentru mine este cel mai mare [dintre noi toți], cel care a inventat o nouă limbă, care este adevărat față a naturii filmului, deoarece captează viața ca o reflecție, viața ca pe un vis." (Bielawski 2018) Istoricul de filme, Steven Dillon, spune că o mare parte a filmului ulterior a fost profund influențată de filmele lui Tarkovsky. (Dillon 2006) Tarkovsky a dezvoltat o teorie a cinematografiei pe care a numit-o "sculptarea în timp". Prin aceasta el a vrut să evidențieze caracteristica unică a cinematografiei ca mediu, aceea de aborda experiența noastră despre timp și de a o modifica. Filmul neregulat transcrie timpul în timp real...
