Notes: game on...on the radio...soon I think...9:30?...interviews and chat on now...googles doodle for today...first stepping stone!...
I was looking at yet another textile with the patchwork...wondering about the distinctive asymmetrical symmetry....,Pugin's tiles had bilateral symmetry, but each side is exactly a mirror image...the Andeans' tocapus mirror, but from one to another, there are always differences!...seeing the 0s and 1s made me think of this...all those above have '8' arranged differently...I'm guessing those are binary codes for the letters in 'google'...here's link to a bunch of textiles...all remarkably consistent in being the 'same yet different' in the designs repeating...I find it kind of soothing that they don't repeat!...and I'm finding a discomfort in looking at modern designs because they do repeat...over and over the same...

I look at these, and try to see which ones are alike, which ones are different...another...
both Chimu I think...there's a kind of optical effect looking at the tocapus...I don't know what this is called...we drew these in grade school...an optical illusion...

two dimension drawing/illustrations can look three dimensional...once, and since I can do it, still, I looked at a book jacket's cartoon like illustrations, and let my gaze relax, unfocus...like holding one finger up so close it becomes two, sorta...and the illustration resolved into like three dimensions...it had depth...colored shapes above and below one another...an odd thing...the thought is these intricate tocapus move one's sense of depth and recognition...what look like just a design, resolves into a face, or figure...and one thing morphs into another thing...much like the illustrations to the Book of Kells...or Celtic knot work...brain teaser illustrations have some of this...those things where there's row after row of the same image, but one is different...the puzzle to find the different one...at Easter time, in the cartoon section, there might be a garden scene with vegetables growing, and rabbits and all, and the challenge, find all the easter eggs...don't know but IQ tests use such visual challenges for testing...brb...

I wanted to begin post with that textile and doll!...took a bit to get them back...that lucky doll search...the attention by the artists to this tocapu same but different bilateral mirroring is in everything!...brings to mind the 'squareness'...quadripartiteness brought to mind for the pre Columbians the order of the cosmos...the four directions of the compass...everything was square, like El Castillio with the box on top...see yesterday's post...Angels made out?...two out bottom of 3rd...our music is mostly four four time...we don't notice it being in like all the songs...and so called common time...it's ubiquitous...and yet, a good song wont be precisely four four time...forget my music!...notes played too in a good song, or notes sung, are more pleasing if they are a bit off--bent...hard to explain!...and it can be very subtle...covers of popular classic songs often, for some reason, can't capture the charm of the original...rarely is the original improved on...I mean, who can sing Don't Stop Believing better than Journey!...or Maggie May better than Rod Stewart?...notes on a music page all look alike...but when someone sings them, it's different...the pre-Columbians' artistries likely were 'sung' by them...had emotional import we can't experience...Angels made out...Kinsler loses a pop up...lead off batter on...bottom of 4th...gone in left field...Machado two run homer...Orioles 2-1...

The people associated with the Tiwanaku culture in Arica customarily wore one of two kinds of hats. One was the multicolored four-cornered hat. The other was the single or bi-colored four-cornered hat, which was usually made in dark colors. The former were worn by members of the elite class and the latter by less distinguished members of Tiwanaku society. These hats remained popular even after the collapse of the Altiplano Tiwanaku Empire.

The sea lion skin raft appeared in Northern Chile in the first millennium of the Common Era (0–1000 CE). This watercraft consisted of two inflated sea lion skins sewn up with tendons and cactus needles and waterproofed with clay and sea lion oil.

I would like here to make a personal observation: Nobody seems to have noticed the extraordinary resemblance between Eastern Island sculptures and the wooden human representations (chemamull) of the Mapuche people in the Museo de Etnologia of Santiago de Chile. Could this indicate that the Mapuche had reached the island accidentally and erected the giant statues facing their native land to which they could not return, in the hope they would be seen ?

Thor had one look at the polygonal walls on Easter Island, recalled the polygonal walls in Peru, and the Peruvians raft ships, and thought, 'I have to make a raft...'...or some such...for sometime the sailing skills of the Peruvians and Thor's life long quest to prove diffusions...one of my hero's I'd say...Kon Tiki like the first non fiction adventure story I read as a kid...watched movie too...been wondering about Easter Island, like everyone, ever since!...another homer...Orioles 7-1...Upton snags one at the wall...one out...geezzz...another one...Orioles 8-1...well....I need to take a nap after a snack if I want to go to LA to see Carah Faye's show...so, this one is yours for the taking, B'mor...a tip of the halo...
