Bicir on the path of fallen leaves In its present form, this story presentation was conceived for and published by Frail.ca, an online arts festival devoted to new digital media, founded in 2005 and based in Durham, Ontario. "Bicir displays an attention, you might even describe it as 'an intended gaze.' He is not satisfied with merely looking, but is intent upon truly seeing. His gaze is groping out into the world, extending his own seemingly limited self. And it is in this process of questionning that i can’t help but feel that not only Bicir, but Richard himself begins to question his own reliance on words. There is a point, implied, though not subtley, where it dawns on Bicir that the intellect has usurped the throne, and in that moment he sees that the emperor has no clothes. I don’t know if Richard is at all familiar with the Tao Teh Ching but in it Lao Tzu wrote, 'If it was not laughed at it would not be the Tao.' But, whatever the case, Bicir bursts out laughing." -- Michael Tweed, co-curator of Frail.ca © 2005, Richard di Santo |
