As if that weren’t enough, it was “buried” so that the other obelisks would stand out.🤦♂️😳🫣😢

February 8, 2025Notes about Minoan civilization
February 6, 2025Notes
From various readings and the videos below, I have taken the following notes:
- Minoan priestesses led a religion that worshipped both a female deity, the Goddess of Serpents, and a male deity, the Bull.
- The Goddess of Serpents could be the predecessor of Demeter and Persephone.
- It is unclear whether it was a matriarchal society.
- The palaces were centers of religion, trade, and work. Historians use them to establish the periods of their history.
- Although there were kings and queens, neither their art depicts them nor do their documents mention names.
- They had no army. They were invaded and rebuilt. Until approximately 1400 BC. Depending on the source, almost 1000 years without an army.
- They traded with Egypt, Anatolia, and mainland Greece.
- They produced wine, oil, and wheat.
- Their autonomy (the name they used for their people) is unknown.
- Deforestation in Crete may have begun with the construction of ships.
Hypotheses/ideas
- It may seem that the research is about the Goddess, but I am more interested in the figure of the priestesses. Real women with a practice, techniques, a lineage, and a role in society.
- Although the background is “known,” it is important to remember the balance between the feminine and the masculine in both men and women. This can be achieved with the techniques we know. The search is more oriented toward evoking these aspects, finding a language that helps us remember.
- In one of Eva’s videos, she comments on the possibility of a balanced religious direction (feminine/masculine). In the readings I do at random, the aspect of the Goddess or the shamanic (iatromantes, for example) is often discussed, but I have not yet found any references to balance.
- The Minoan priestesses could have taught the Maenads who maintained the cult of Dionysus, which was more politically correct after the fall of the Minoan civilization.
- Both have a clear link to the figure of the Sibyl, who apparently did not officiate ceremonies but used the same techniques of altered states of consciousness. And to the tantric women.
- They would also have a connection with my suspicion that the cult of the Sibyl in Mallorca has a prior link with some female deity who was not politically correct after the genocide of Jaume I.
- The Minoans, like the Mallorcans, have lost their proper name over time.
- When I see the fresco of the young man jumping over the bull and the two priestesses, I wonder why it is always said that they also jumped. It could be that they are accompanying him in taming his inner bull. In the fresco, the women are in front, grabbing the bull by the horns, and behind, waiting for the man. They seem to be in control of the situation.

November 24, 2024I ask for clarity regarding direction in all aspects.
During the conversation, I experience a lot of pain and cry deeply. It becomes clear that I need to let go of everything.
I see that many connections no longer exist. Simply put, the bond with some people is no longer there.
The disconnection became very evident on 20-11, upon returning from Rome.
When I “fall,” I break my glasses. Later in the day, I keep breaking things, tripping, and seeing objects fall from my hands…

Mad women running on top of the mountains without the supervision of their husbands, ingestion of mind-altering concoctions, ecstatic nocturnal dancing to the rhythm of the frame drum, ritual sexuality; men voluntarily practicing self-castration, these and more are the ingredients composing the compelling worship of two deities which turned the world upside down back in ancient Greece and Rome.

November 15, 2024Signature, Circle, Identity
November 13, 2024The vision during the first conversation with the tree was of a woman lying in bed in intimacy, without a face.
The gaze focuses on the navel. I connected this to the Omphalos as a navel and represented by a circle with a dot inside.
That day, I later linked it to the Monad, Pau, and Ilaria.
On November 13, I also saw the connection with my signatures and logos. Both signatures have a main circle with a dot outside at the bottom right. The logos already include the dot at the center.

November 11, 2024I ask for clarity… my usual prayer. I inquire about the photographic expression of the place and see “the photo.” Even at that moment, I understand it is the only one needed.
I suggest to a friend that she ask questions for herself. In the responses, there is always physical pain. In mine, there is none.
During the photographic captures, I have a strong emotional outburst and break down crying and screaming. I interpret it as the moment of release from the previous problems caused by publishing Rosella’s photograph.

October 28, 2024chatGPT interprets drawings
October 21, 2024Here is the first image… can you give me an interpretation?
In this drawing, I see a play of fluid and curved lines that appear intertwined, suggesting a sense of continuous and organic movement. The simplicity in the use of strokes creates an abstract form that can be interpreted as a figure in transformation or a flow of energy. The shaded areas, although subtle, add a deeper dimension, suggesting a connection or contrast between areas of light and shadow, or perhaps between the conscious and the unconscious.

October 12, 2024Why have I come here?
I see the image on the cover of a craniosacral biodynamic book. Interpretation of the moment: God has brought me here to read about biodynamics.
How can I express this artistically?
I see the belly of an attractive woman with soft, white skin. I don’t see the woman, just the belly and the navel… it looks like a black-and-white photo taken in an intimate setting.

As part of City Screen at the Loop Festival in Barcelona, the Ideograma Foundation presents the video art exhibition: “The Massacre of the Body.”
This exhibition revolves around the construction of post-capitalist bodies, those that struggle to end the massacre imposed by systems of control and surplus value, inscribed within them.
The selection of videos by various artists explores ways to decongest corporeality and reclaim the intensities crushed by phallocentrism, the identity of the image, or the construction of a self that dances to the rhythm of production structures.

In January 2019, a group of digital artists met at Cultural Center Casa Planas. As a result, we created the first Digital & Electronic Art Festival Mallorca function(“innocence”, 2019), which became a reality for two days between May 24 and 25.
An incredible list of artists exhibited, performed, taught new media art, and showcased interactive artworks.

Ubiquography a real-time world-wide mobile photography exhibition
May 20, 2012
Ubiquography is an exhibition that aims to make people think about the traits that define mobile photography: ubiquity and immediacy.
Participants capture, edit and publish their pictures using their phones and they are instantly displayed in the exhibition (inreal-time) emphasizing the immediacy aspect.
The exhibition will be simultaneously held in different cities around the world, in very diverse and distant locations, making the exhibition ubiquitous.

Calls for participative projects online for established cultural institutions: basic ideas
May 12, 2011Last week a cultural center in Barcelona contacted me to get ideas regarding a project. We spoke for a few hours and I told them about my experience with Barcelona Photobloggers as far as organizing participative photographic projects. At the end, I had the feeling that this talk could help other centers so I decided to publish it, hoping that the quantity of calls for participative projects would increase, and above all, so would the quantity of participants.
Photoblogging
April 12, 2010In 2002, the lab where I used to have my film developed reduced the price of ‘developing to CD’ and I started asking for the digital medium. By the beginning of 2003 I’d already decided to give paper up.
The dematerialization of my photos implied that I didn’t have anything to take to work anymore to comment on in a café. A friend recommended some software that he was using for galleries. I ended up adapting the program. I wanted the last photos to be seen first; the photos had to be of large size, taking up the whole screen, unobstructed; and I wanted viewers to be able to leave comments.

Rainy Day as flickrGrama.
This is a project I’m working on called flickrGramas.
This is a very early version, my first attempt. Future improvements include:
- Using only Creative Commons derivatives allowed images
- Creating flickrGramas by tags (e.g., a face formed by thousands of face images, a rainy day formed by thousands of rain-related images)
- Improving color indexing techniques

Exhibition “De la red a la pared” (From web to wall)
October 16, 2006In recent years, the phenomenon of photoblogs, an extension of the blog culture where photography is the center of attention, has been acquiring adepts on the internet. Around this phenomenon, online communities in various cities around the world, Barcelona among them, have sprung up as a meeting place for the photobloggers.
Barcelona Photobloggers come out of the online world to present their first collective exhibition entitled “De la red a la pared” on October 19 at 20:30. A total of 22 photobloggers from Barcelona area will exhibit more than 300 photographs at the Fotonauta gallery until November 9.
