DANCE YOUR PhD: John Bohannon & Black Label Movement




Suzanne Daigle shares on the OSLIST this intriguing video she received from Tobias Mayer, and says: "For me it holds dear all that connects me to Open Space (chaos, order, science, art and then some!)   Hope you enjoy it as much as I did."

Danceyour PhD, a TEDx Brussels talk by John Bohannon.

I picked also indiantemplestampede ´s comment:  "As Doris Humphrey wrote in her amazing "The Art of Making Dances" (1959) "Beware of originality without truth..." "

Enjoy life!

Oh my, oh my! Congrats Agnetta!


Agneta Setterwall, new OSLIST Poet Laureate (2012)

An open space?
I hesitate

A call somewhere?
I hesitate

An open door?
I hesitate

And people too?!
I hesitate!

Supposed to speak?
I hesitate!!

Tell what I need...
I hesitate...

Tell what I want?
I hesitate!

And they all hear...
I doubt they do!

They will not care!
I´m sure, I´m sure...

And... there they come!
Oh my! They do!

And now we talk!
We do! We do!!!

...they listen too...
...and so do I...

...and what will come...?
Oh my! Oh my!!!

-- Agneta Setterwall (Uppsala, Sweden)

History of the OSLIST Restricted Form Poetry Contest

“For all those who might be curious, the OSLIST Biannual Restricted Form Poetry Contest started in the spring of 2000 when I issued the challenge to the list.  [The late great] Ralph Copleman actually began the whole thing with a contest in the fall of 1999 (which I won) and so he is the “Poetry King” for all time.  I just claimed the “Poet Laureate” title in an effort to have some fun.  It was something of a one martini idea, and I was out of gin at the time...”

'Restricted form' means some described form or boundary for the poem - as in this recent Poetry Contest where you were invited to create poems about or inspired by Open Space and breathing, trusting the unknown, and emergence.

MARCIN JAKUBOWSKI: farmer and technologist: OPEN SOURCE ECHOLOGY

Videos taken from this link (http://www.noticiaspositivas.net/2012/02/10/marcin-jakubowski-modelos-de-codigo-abierto-para-la-civilizacion with the Spanish transcription of Marcin´s talk) sent by friend Keko

Marcin Jakubowski´s (http://opensourceecology.org) 4´ Ted Talk:




The global village construction set
Text on the YT video:
(2010 oct 23): A Hollywood movie producer 'Isaiah Saxon' who made the video "Wonderlust" for Björk... is an OSE (open source echology) 'True Fan' and has made a 2minute explainer video of the 'GVCS' - Global Village Construction Set. He put five days work into it out of pure passion for the project! It really gets our GVCS message across in a short and very concise way :) The purpose of the video is for entry into the "Buck Minster Fuller Challenge". But of course we will use it in all future presentations and marketing of this direction :)
Enjoy life!

Life is easy. Why do we make it so hard? Jon Jandai



From TED´s page: 
Jon is a farmer from northeastern Thailand. He founded the Pun Pun Center for Self-reliance, an organic farm outside Chiang Mai, with his wife Peggy Reents in 2003. Pun Pun doubles as a center for sustainable living and seed production, aiming to bring indigenous and rare seeds back into use. It regularly hosts training on simple techniques to live more sustainably. Outside of Pun Pun, Jon is a leader in bringing the natural building movement to Thailand, appearing as a spokesperson on dozens of publications and TV programs for the past 10 years. He continually strives to find easier ways for people to fulfill their basic needs. For more information visit http://www.punpunthailand.org
