Time.

I’m at home alone with COVID, which is giving me time to naval-gaze and empty my inbox. In that inbox, I discovered that my friend Alex Gorosh (director of my series RoadFood) sent me this little documentary short on the topic of time.

For some reason, the unfathomable magnitude of space and time has always been a great source of comfort to me. I remember feeling miserable as a teenager and looking up at the stars of the night sky and taking great comfort in the fact that I was just a speck on this tiny blue planet in an ever-expanding universe of quintillions of planets. Looking up at the night sky on a clear night in New England as a kid I could see faint glow of the milky way—hundreds of billions of stars so distant they ceased to be points of light, but together they added up to a dusty smudge of luminosity across the sky—and all of the stars the Milky Way are in our own galaxy! And there are hundreds of billions of stars in hundreds of billions of other galaxies in this universe. To my high school mind all of this comforted me, because how could my little problems ever feel big when held up to the enormity of everything.

I always remember being soothed by the vastness of the universe, but when I was 40, I read “Annals of the Former World,” a tome on geology by John McPhee. The book beautifully illustrated the great expanse of geologic time, which so often exceeds the limits of our comprehension with this simple quote, “Consider the Earth’s history as the old measure of the English yard, the distance from the king’s nose to the tip of his outstretched hand. One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger erases human history.”

When I remember to remember, this too comforts me. The infinitesimally-small-smallness of my troubles helps them fade into nothing. Watching these few minutes on Youtube this morning, it was comforting to see that I am not alone in this perspective on our blink of time in this world.

A Humbling Short Film Visualizes the Breathtaking Magnitude of 13.8 Billion Years of Cosmic Existence | Colossal

MAY 24, 2023 GRACE EBERT A new short by Alex Gorosh and Wylie Overstreet helps to visualize the immensity of cosmic creation beyond the clock and calendar. The human conception of time is limited. We often think in hours, days, and years, units of measurement that are comprehensible when considering our lifetimes or those of generations past. Even decades and centuries, though, are only a…

So Rob posted this adorable pic of himself earlier today

And an amazing friend pointed out to me the @ he tagged for the person who took the picture. We both thought "hmmm, that insta @ sure looks familiar".

And of course it's none other than Alex, one of the principal camera operators(and director) from Roadfood.

I don't know why this puts a smile on my face, but it does.😊

2020.01.26 - Internet Curatorial Practice: Warm & Fuzzy [ICP002]

//Nicky Ni

Yesterday, Chicago welcomed its first proper snow storm of the season. Weather forecast predicts that the rest of the week is going to oscillate between cold and snowy, of which neither is really pleasant if you need to venture outside. Therefore, I’m prompted to produce another episode of the Internet Curatorial Practice, which, to remind you, is a curatorial exercise for me to pick and curate time-based materials already existing on the Internet into tolerable blog-based programs. And to hopefully counter the cold outside, this week’s theme is—warm and fuzzy.

Of course, it’s hard to talk about “warm and fuzzy” without Jan Dibbet’s TV as Fireplace (1969) that appeared on German filmmaker Gerry Schum’s TV-based video art gallery, Fernseh-Galerie. A 3-minute video recording of a burning fire was shown on TV between Christmas and New Year’s Eve every night. As much of a no-brainer as the work seemed, the commentary was sharp and witty—when the TV set had replaced the fireplace to become the focal point of the living room, family members gathered around it and stared at the light emitted by the electron beams, imagining the warmth of the fire. 

The Guggenheim has a good description of the work; naturally, the full video is not available online. However, since you are not expecting to watch any of this on a TV anyway, I might as well provide yet another substitution fresh from the Internet—a 12-hour animated fire. 4K with sound.

And now, it is ads time. When this advertisement first popped up on my YouTube’s feed, the intro made it clear that it was not one of those annoying ads that even 5 seconds of it seemed too long. So far, with almost 9 million views and countless comments expressing that they searched it up in order to watch it again, filmmaker Alex Gorosh has successfully spun the White dudes’ entrepreneurial spirit into soft and fuzzy yarns that are to be woven with affordability and environmental consciousness. It is an ad that you do not want to miss; it is also an ad you need to watch out to not fall prey to, especially in this kind of weather.

Coming up, a video essay by fashion blogger Hana Tajima commissioned by MoMA for their exhibition, Items, Is Fashion Modern? (2018). It is a cozy and dreamy video that caresses the little history of the Turtleneck and compares it to the politicization of the Headscarf.

When I think of warm and fuzzy, I also think of films by the hipster’s favorite, Wes Anderson. The cotton-candy color palettes, the perfect compositions, the classic selections of OST, and the deadpan humor all make the images airy and sweet, that is, before you are forced to swallow the sometimes harsh and cruel twists of the plot. His films are like a wool sweater that causes allergy. You feel perfectly comfortable in it, but sometimes you also feel the itch. A film essay by South Korean filmmaker Kogonada.

Lastly, a dose of one of the most mind-boggling, hypnotizing, pleasant or creepy magic of ASMR. By artist Angelica.
