'It is I myself who was part of the landscape I painted.'
So he mentally takes a step backward, or regresses, and paints a picture of the artist painting a picture ofthe landscape.
But still something is missing. That is still his real self painting the second picture.

And because something is still missing, he paints a fourth and a fifth until he paints a picture ofthe artist painting a picture ofthe artist painting a picture of the artist painting a picture of the artist painting a landscape." - Dr. Otto Hasselin

Second Life Sky Studies
yesterday i started a new project, Second Life Sky Studies. this is a web-based video/new media art project that looks @ the skyscapes of Second Life. this project is also part of my ongoing development of metamachinima, machinima about machinima. Second Life Sky Studies will also autobiographically accompany my new Second Life, w/my new account "Theoretical Magic" which i will occasionally be posting about here.
