SHARE A BRAINWAVE

Wave Dragon - the world’s first offshore wave energy converter producing power for the grid in Denmark. Soon being moved from Nissum Bredding to Wales, because of the lack of political will and funding in Denmark.

Even a seemingly discreet shoe can potentially hide otherworldly beauty. Overwhelming waves beyond belief, oceanic beauty right there under one’s foot.

Thesis #1
 
I claim that I could feel your pulse
As you fell out
Of your New York penthouse apartment
Was it me swimming upstream?
Or were you merely an ocean
Carefully designed to drown in?
 
 
Thesis #2
 
I claim that I had no pulse
Caught in the middle of
An endless loop of meditation
No activity whatsoever
No whatsoever
No ever
Just oneeee twoooo threeeee
 
 
Thesis #3
 
I claim that […]

In only 48 days, on May 15, acclaimed singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright will release his 5th album which will be called Release The Stars.
“The album”, Mr. Wainwright says,
“…is about releasing your love and your brilliance, or acting on your impulses and basically laying it all down on the line. I think so much of life is spent […]

On a regular monday. Copenhagen blue.
People got up, stretched out, dressed, started the washing
machine, had their coffee, their
kids dressed
in ski wear, silently summoned the city,
and on the other hand, I daresay
on this Monday,
birds flew out of the closets, and started to live
comfortably in my tree, a civilized city tree,
fish grew hair instead of fins,
the mermaid […]

Fynshoved. 8:00 am.
As I stepped around the bend
a startled bird
suddenly penetrated the cellophane surface
of the new born lake,
sending a ripple through my heart.
It startled me in turn to learn
that my quiet steps
could set off a universe disturbing spark
and I picked up my pace,
grateful for the rapture of being alive.

Tamara comes to my mind. Definitely Tamara. We hadn’t seen each other for ages. 14 years to be exact. Waves in our lives, time perhaps, different choices had separated us, and one day, like in Matrix, we popped up again, came to the surface, the surroundings may have changed, you and I may have changed, […]

This morning, the police are clearing Ungdomshuset, a house full of radical, young activists. We live close by, and were woken at 7 am by the roar of a helicopter hovering over Ungdomshuset. At nine, in the middle of rush hour, we passed close by where police have cordoned off the area. Loads of people, […]

Endless waves of ice
silently
do shield your soul
with a
silvery coat of slippery glass
more shocking in its beauty
than Swedish glass
and yet, yet
with each gust of wind
icicles
penetrate
the marrow of your bones,
so you just
don’t
wanna wander
outside.

This wave is moving fast, hitting several continents, gathering people along the way.
The force driving the wave is simple_ the promise to buy nothing new, other than food and other absolute essentials- The group is called the Compact. It is building a mega wave of supporters, doubling in size since the fall, to nearly 8,000 […]

Watch the video for the song “We’re From Barcelona” with the Swedish 29-piece indie-pop outfit I’m From Barcelona and see if you can refrain from riding the happy wave…!

…I remember the waves as being bigger, cause it was a quite windy night. But I guess these kinds of waves are difficult to capture - in the same way as the steepness of a hill or depth of a valley. The scene is the Finnish archipelago, last summer, late at night, my sister has […]

A wave snuck up on me while reading the NY Times Book Review,
A thought so generous, I wish I had written it myself. Or, let me be honest, could live them myself.
“Hope, forgiveness — these are not just moral actions. They are enlargements of the mind. Without them, you remain in the tunnel of the […]

 
This reproduction of Caspar David Friedrich’s painting “Sea of Ice” has left a strong impression in my mind. Not because of it’s dramatic story of the colossal strength of nature swallowing a ship whole. No, I’m truly inspired by the formal strength of the painting. The clear logic of the zig-zagging and seemingly chaotic surfaces and lines. […]

In another totally unrelated thread…if humans are part of the cosmos, when and how do we feel most part of it? Scientists confirm that something happens to brain waves when we fall asleep. Jung says our dreams can be a guide to our place in the cosmos. Kiefer maps it out in his paintings. Me? […]

New to this site…but one of the most powerful waves in my life is smoke, those
waves of nicotine addiction
that ebb and flow,
dragging you under like
a rip tide taking you out to a sea of
dangerously seductive desire

Invention by metaphor is cool. And dynamite is not so bad either, even when it is (perhaps?) fake.
But I am missing my favourite kind of wave here: The ocean kind. Think for instance of the sensation when sand and stones are sucked from underneath your feet by a receding wave. Or of floating on your […]

Seeing in Waves of Color
Like waves of music, waves of color can transform one’s mood or experience. For the last 7 years I have been painting upon 16mm film with ink pens and acrylic paints, resulting in a collection of “film paintings” called Color + Modulation. The intent of Color + Modulation is […]
