Here are two of the 4 sheets of photographic paper attached in my two bags for exactly a weeks time. Each of them has their special purpose: One contains music and accompanies me to the bars where I work in the evenings, while the other one is more a chaotic bag. In the last named there are two tiny black spots noticeable in one of the images, which I enlarged below:
Photographic paper sealed in black cardboard – more or less discretely integrated into my bags;
For the records: I used two layers of black cardboard paper, instead of black plastic bags like in the previously described thoughtographic city experiments. A similar method and material that Tomokichi Fukurai used in his thoughtographic experiments in the very early 20th century which are nicely documented and described in his publication Clairvoyance and Thoughtography.
After 24 hours exposure attached to a tree, a red cross clothes container and to a car, here are the results after processing;
One question: What importance has the container and its respective material to the exposure?
The first image is the result of a one month exposure through the Hologram of Alice in Wonderland -below- that I described in an earlier post. The other exposures of the same experiment – photographic paper sealed behind wallpaper – came out entirely black.
Several envelopes containing photographic paper distributed in my neighbourhood. I will recollect them hopefully happy and healthy in the near future to process their results.
I started to attach a roll of photographic paper behind the wallpaper. The sensitive layer faces the black cardboard, while its backside is in direct contact to the wallpaper. Soon the whole corner will be discretely double-layered. Also Mr. Pickledfeets beautyful hologram of Alice in Wonderland has a hidden sensitivity. Exposure time will be determinated by intuition and patience.
Above are some photographic results received during the workshop with Mr. Pickledfeet beyond the zero held in Torun a day after the opening of the show at CoCa Awake are only the spirits.
Over night, I placed a sealed envelope of six photographic papers, Adox Easy Print, down in the cellars of the remaining ruins of the Castle of the Teutonic Knights in the very heart of Torun. The next day we developed them in a secret lab of the CoCa Art Centre. The scans are not the best quality, due to a badly behaved scanner, though the projections of whoever are clearly visible…

Wystawa, zorganizowana we współpracy z Hartware MedienKunstVerein w
Dortmundzie, gdzie była prezentowana w 2009, jest oparta na archiwum
nagrań Friedricha Jürgensona, który w 1959 roku odkrył tak zwane
Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP). Projekt przybliża historie
duchów, które starają się odpowiedzieć na pytanie dlaczego, przy
całym naszym oświeceniu, ciągle przypisujemy irracjonalne
właściwości nowym mediom i technologiom, jak na przykład
zdolność do przekazywania wiadomości spoza naszego świata.
The Awake Are Only the Spirits exhibition, organized in cooperation
with Hartware MedienKunstVerein (HMKV) in Dortmund where it presented
in 2009, bases on the audio archive of Friedrich Jürgenson who
discovered the so-called Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) in 1959.
The projects reflects upon different ghosts’ stories, questionning
why – despite our faith in the rational – at regular intervals
irrational properties are ascribed to respective new media and
technologies, such as those purportedly serving as channels for
messages from the beyond.
