#fluidity — Public Fediverse posts

Now the rush of term-end is behind me, I can afford time to document some of the projects I’ve been up to between my Academy studies.

FLUIDITY is an experimental short film improvised one weekend in February 2026 with the Academy of Live Technology’s Postgraduate cohort, at the behest of visiting Multimedia Artist-Engineer Diana Scarborough. A Cambridge-based creative whose work blends science, art, and ecology, her Sounds of Space project is an inspirational extension of concepts I’ve used in my own work.

The film presents a meditation on water, flowing around a spoken word performance by student Dami Olagbegi. Soundscape and Foley were recorded by contact mics and hydrophone, capturing the sound of underwater instruments, percussion, and melting ice. Suitably swirly visuals were then evoked by filming a tray of water through an old-style desk projector while adding different colour pigments with a pipette.

My part was to blend these elements together, along with separately supplied stock footage and a little alchemical flavour. Layering down a simple synth soundtrack to mix the recordings into form, and editing the video against an unyielding deadline.

Using GarageBand and DaVinci Resolve on iPad to record and edit, and shooting the projections with a SmallRig-ged iPhone, the tools to hand ensured swift turnaround from idea to image. Although I could have used some extra time to polish things properly on home hardware, I’m happy with the raw honesty of the result.

It was a great pleasure to be invited to work alongside the Postgrad students, to get a feel of what awaits my own Masters journey, and to play without expectation for the joy of creating art.

A 2022 thesis from Abilene Christian University found that couples in mixed-orientation marriages report emotional fulfillment, especially when communication and authenticity are prioritized.

“I simply do not see why the nation has to have an official sexuality, especially one that authorizes the norm of a violent gentility; that narrows the field of legitimate political action; that supports the amputation of personal complexity into categories of simple identity; that uses cruel and mundane strategies both to promote shame for non-normative populations and to deny them state, federal, and juridical supports because they are deemed morally incompetent to their own citizenship. This is the heterosexuality I repudiate.”

― Lauren Berlant, in "The Queen of America Goes to Washington City: Essays on Sex and Citizenship"

Before I began my transition, I identified as 100% heterosexual — or so I thought. I had no interest in men and couldn’t conceive of anything attractive about them. Recently, a friend asked me if I had been trained to be heterosexual. What an interesting question, I thought.

Curving, flowing lines blend shades of blue, green, and yellow, creating a dynamic sense of movement and fluidity. The design suggests a sense of depth and energy, reminiscent of waves or ribbons in motion.

Text and explanation of usage of 'm(y)' online at: https://m-archives.notion.site/15-09-2024-m-y-name-7f3110f92f434d6baa53fa6d6f95377c?pvs=4

#philosophy #fluidity #name #queerness

M(y)* name is a sign, an embodiment of water and fluidity before it is any specific pronunciation of the letter M. Therefore any pronunciation of “M” in any language is a possibly (i. e. with my consent) legitimate way to refer to m(y) body.

* See pinned posts for explanation of "m(y)".

Prior to this, he was reading from Chapman's other work, including the unfinished hypertext books Meaningness and Time, and In The Cells Of The Eggplant.

Hi there. I know I've been away for a while. Life has been getting in the way of creating but I'm slowly getting back to it. Due to the move my studio isn't set up yet, so I decided to try something a little different - foam clay. Not sure what I think of it yet, but thought I'd give you an update anyway. 😊

“The repeated stylizations of the body—everyday acts and gestures—are themselves performatives, producing the gendered identity of which they are thought to be the expressions.”(Alberti, 2013, p. 95)

"Many societies take pains to #gender individuals with objects, tasks, and food, yet we repeatedly see that gender is not as important in the very young and the very old, and that gender is often most strongly marked when people are of reproductive age (Gilchrist, 2007)"
