Dirty Computer, 2018, Wondaland Productions

*

Janelle Monae is a visionary

Dali and Nina Simone blended into a modern Nefertiti and Oshun .

A Peahen of blissful delight


*

In dirty computer,  her graphic and innovative videos are interwoven through a brilliant and smooth narrative of rebellion to exert one's true identity despite the coercion of the powers that be that want to assign an identity to subdue and suppren one's true nature.


 Afrofuturistic, subversive, tragic and light, deep and masterful , colored and bleak , multilayered masterpiece of art and alternate world building. Afropop Science fiction transposed in uncharted territories. Brilliant.

Panum & Otium or the Hefty Lessons of Governance of Self and the Inner Empires

  Panum & Otium or the Hefty Lessons of Governance of Self and the Inner Empires * * A wise king doesn't drink too early, it is said in Lemuel . It's now 10:44 AM . Monday. Day of the Moon so just on the fringe, the limit of the acceptable . So some golden silk of velvety wine to unwind. Bob Marley " Running away" (from what exactly : ascribed purpose? Perhaps) is playing in the background, in the beautiful city of PARIS. Paris , the Muse of so many brilliant artists and minds. *  The intimate knowledge that something has shifted. What exactly ? For the sake of sacred mystery best quiet it . No qualm.  * All is well . The Golden disc is a shining free design of power . Forget the strikes and provocations. A wise man puts his honor in forgetting offenses the wise King of Proverbs advises. Rough lessons of leadership. The One Man Army and Garrison . Sometimes, most of the time:  a rough game. * The human condition , its tightly knit conundrums : 8 billions of human

Reviews (3) : a Triptych

Image
[Reviews January 2024] * Reviews (3) : a triptych  * [Review I] * " Dreamer ", Dave Chappelle  * * With his habitual sharky, snarky , gnarly yet elegantly graceful angle, unmistakable trademark , one of the greatests of our times in stand up comedy history and culture,  Dave Chappelle shows us and reminds us the power of well applied imagination and well incubated dreams . * With extremely well studied mechanics of comic genius, Chappelle plays with our emotions and gets us where it hurts ( and as a defense mechanism we hilariously burst in laughter) yet he does so to help us recover : such is triggered de facto, his healing capacity as one who knows the intimate ails of humankind and in consequence whom he has the knowledge to soothe them.  * Some, it is rightly believed , some (a theory says most of us if not all) have the god given gifts and commissions to help us alleviate the burdens of the human experience and restore us, somehow,  to some wholesomeness for a time howev
