It has been incredibly inspiring. New clusters of ideas have emerged…ideas long forgotten have been revived…surprising patterns have intertwined. And we thank all of you for participating in the first wavechallenge.

But now it is time to move on to the next steps in the editorial process that will be all about selecting and refining the many ideas, bits, pieces, ripples and wavy patterns. Molding them into viable articles, interviews and art projects.

We will have additional wavechallenges ready for you all to follow, join and participate in soon. And if you have any wavy ideas you would like to pitch or elaborate on for Reflexioner on Waves please do not hesitate to use the contact form

And what will happen to the many posts we have all co-created here on Share a Brainwave? Well – we think they combine into a beautiful piece of collaborative art…and it would be a shame to let them drift away. So we will freeze them now and leave them out here for everyone to enjoy, surf through, dive into and comment on. So we hope you will still swim by every once in while.

Asian Stock Markets Plunge for Second Day

The experts outdo one another in economical prophecies. Media sound the alarm about the inflation. Everyone across the world seems to be touched by the problems. I think it is very interesting to observe. It reminds me of the snowball effect. The more it rolls the bigger it gets.

It is like with Elliott waves that show the collective investor (or crowd) psychology and interactions move from optimism to pessimism and back again. These swings create patterns, as evidenced in the price movements of a market at every degree of trend.

From R.N. Elliott’s essay, “The Basis of the Wave Principle,” October 1940.

“The wave patterns are an organizing principle for myriad social behaviors, ranging from newspaper sales figures to the fortunes of national leaders. The reason Elliott waves can tell us all this is simply because they are direct reflection of human psychology – the rhythms of human emotion, as Elliott puts it.” (I know what you’ll do next summer, New Scientist, 31st August 2002).

Interesting how the herd behavior and emotions influence even the stocks market. It is incredible to see how everythink is linked and depend on one another.

YouTube has this amazing time lapse movie of gravity waves over Iowa.

Throughout 2008 we’ll recycle the Share a Brainwave-wavebands from the WAVEBAND GALLERY one a monthly basis – hoping to trigger a giant wave of memories, recollection and inspiration.

We commense the same way we initiated Share a Brainwave – by showing Jannie Weimar’s purple piece – Wavy Hair and a Comb.

Finishing Jan. 27 2008, an exhibition of Mori’s art is on display at Aros Art Museum in Ã…rhus (DK) – and  you will be able to enter the UFO!
