White Square (2002),
interactive installation by Hanna Haaslahti
ARTISTIC CONCEPT: interactive shadows
White Square is just a square of light projected on the floor
until someone steps in. Suddenly the user finds himself in the
middle of interactive shadows projected at his feet. The world
of shadows reflects the positions and movements of
participants in the square. Participants can play together
with collaborative visual structures created by shadows
grabbing and holding on to each other.
The key element of the installation is a human shadow which is
transformed into an interactive medium. The installation
illuminates the network of connections between people sharing
the same limited space. White Square attempts to break the
relationship of control and command between people and
technology turning it into a more intuitive and physical one.
It is a public playground designed to stimulate a new
awareness of ourselves as physical beings. White Square can
also be seen as an architectural media space which invites people to express themselves, bringing along the whole body as
a tool of interaction.
If that is the explanation of white square, then I think that TA is moving away from virtual to reality
grose, this white square:

'vay iz mir - and here I had hoped that you were going to reality - but here I see you are going all the more abstract.
For Malevitch the white square was the ultimate achievement in arts. It was the perfection, after the white square in his view the art has lost it's meaning and reach it's apogee.
Its, without apostrophe.
The paradox of the White Square lies in the fact that, unlike the Black Square, it is positioned at a very dynamic angle on the canvas, thus undoing the indisputability of its perfection. So we are back to Square One...
A fascinating topic. Especially when reading Malevich's own way of describing to point.
בלשון החסידות:
There have always been two elements in the world; the physical and the spiritual. And there have always been those who cast their lot in the one or the other.
Even in religion, the pagan religions were decidedly unspiritual, with their "gods" engaging in everything from eating and drinking to war to petty skirmishes.
Other religions, notably those which came after Judaism, put much more emphasis on the spiritual, to the extent of proscribing or at least minimizing the physical. Hence the requirement of celibacy in one of them; it was unseemly for a cleric of G-d to be engaged in "sinful" activities; those which were most eminently physical.
(While this also means that their ____ was born in sin, that is not by any shot the smallest inconsistency in their beliefs).
The only faith that had the gumption to introduce the spiritual while demanding the physical, to emphasize chomer as well as tzurah was - and is - Judaism, specifically through the prism of Chasidut.
Only Judaism dared demand ויקרא (אל תקרא ויקרא אלא ויקריא ) בשם ה' א-ל עולם. Only in Judaism would one find the most pious Sages saying things to the tune of "לא דייך מה שאסרה עליך תורה" and so on and so forth. I am aware that I am oversimplifying, but this is long enough as is.
Malevich's urge to escape this world and "anything" in general, can be understood, especially in light of the explanations of פשיטות העצמות and the like in other fields. However, for us that believe that בצלם אלקים ברא את האדם, physically as well as otherwise, this idea can be put a little into perspective.
I am afraid that I am guilty of having written another diatribe that is too long to be worth reading (even if it would be otherwise).
I will contradict myself the act of writing is more important that the act of understanding.
up to a point...
TA,
Are she your future wife?
who is this lady?whats the purpose of posting her picture on mentalblog? is she gezah?
real malech, she is what you choose to see in her. If you feel she is "gezah" then she might be. If you think she is a woman with uncovered hair than she is. I see a white on white. And I see more reasons to quit blogging.
Eis lachshos V'eis ladaber ,if you feel you need time out you don't need anyones consent.
some blogmaster add a new post only once a week ,that gives the the public more time and thought to comment ,also your remarks to the comment can made once a week as a summatio n of all the commenta from the previous post, you don't have to act like a referee between a bunch of ghostwriters to see who is the most to your likeing , actuely that was Mamush job between his secretaries (ghostwriter).
Whoever she is, your 'whitesquare' certainly has beautiful eyes. For what it's worth, I hope you don't stop blogging.
Real Malech is suggesting ghost writers. It might be the way to go as it worked for the rebbe. All the secretaries, I believe, were sworn to secrecy so that the public should never know how much the rebbe wrote and how much was written for him - if you have six secretaries/ghostwriters doing much writing you can be as diverse and as prolific as the rebbe ended up appearing to be - we'll never know if he wrote 20% and his secretaries 80% or vice versa.
what do you think, tzemach, does real malech come up with a real solution to keeping a steady stream of ideas on your blog?
p.s. it also worked for berg of the kabballah center, as the information you exposed showed, that ghostwriters can help people achieve power and produce much writing.
reak malech, really one dimensional

Here is the original posting from Out of Step Jew:

disclaimer:once again I enter off topic (nono#1) about something I am emotional about (bad move #2) but I think it needs to be said;
The rebbe never hid the fact that his letters were ghost written and alluded to that fact a few times in those very same letters. (one instance sticks to mind where the rebbe told someone to keep writing in the language they wrote ealier even as the rebbe understands that language, and apologizing for the fact that the responses were in a different language as the secretariat don't know that language - I can't remember the exact letter or the language but I am sure one of the readers here will know what i am reffering to).
what was always kept hidden was which words exactly were the rebbe's (verbal mostly as the rebbe did very little writing of the letters except for corrections) and what was the secretary's paraphrasing of the point the rebbe wished to convey. while I don't claim to have secret info as to why this was done, anyone slightly familiar with a chosid's midnset would guess that this was to avoid the usual tendency of chasidim to revere anything coming from the rebbe which in this case would cause them to regard as less important/holy (fill in the word of you choice) the other points the rebbe wished to convey.
this is the same reason the manichim will generaly not tell you exactly what was the rebbe's input into the sichos though in those cases there was no implication at all of it being written by the rebbe.
to imply otherwise is simply consistent with intelectual dishonesty that seems rampant amongst some (often those who stated goal is "historical accuracy" e.g. a certain historian who while debunking a few myths that naturally arise around any rebbe, used those to create an enviroment where he can write many more factual fallcies or stories with disreputable sources. I am avoiding mentioning his name though it might be obvious since I my point is against this trent rather that against this individual or the earlier poster specificaly. The goal should be truth, not an agenda of either glorification or of cutting down to size.
while someone may say history is always HIS story, why accept your version more than his implication, I think that since what I wrote is known to anyone in lubavitch it shouldn't be a matter of dispute
yes, I am a born lubavitcher (of both gezhe and tzugekumene ancestry - an irrelevant fact only mentioned here since some posters here feel it's important) but as one of the few who are brave (sone might say foolish) enough not to hide my identity, I would think that adds a bit of credibility.
now that I got that off my chest:
my apologies to real malech and the responder to him; they may not have actually intended anything negative but so many others have written negatively here or tried very hard to impy without writing anything negative here that things that would have a neutral connotation if they were written elsewhere acquire an aura of negative innuendo when posted on this blog (which I fell is a shame as I feel tzemach has accomplished a lot of good on this blog and hope he won't take this as another reason to stop writing, maybe just find a way to assure postings are not only factually accurate - a goal than would always be difficult to achieve - but also that their implicatin should not be contrary to the reality that any real time observer would have been aware of.
Hillel, can you paraphrase your point again?
shalom,
i am an israeli guy (jewish ofcourse) and i would like to know this lovely lady.
Shalom to you too!
