A POEM MADE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IMAGES AND WORDS.FACIST ≠ FASCIST!      

A cinepoem about exquisite cadaver. Automatic writing is a surrealist trait to disempower the oppressive reign of logic in our thought system. Logic and common sense resulting from human perception can never represent the irrational, unorganised reality itself. 

I took a stroll in Soho, New York and came back with this footage on which I speak an automated speech.

9 IS KiNo’s ICONOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATION.

Mevlana (Rumi) said ‘from emotion, thought and enthusiasm I beget my being’ nearly 830 years ago.  Today 9 echoes, remembers, confides in Mevlana. His version of the Map of the Universe is incomparably accurate. Despite the 8 century gap between his book Mesnevi and this Map of the Universe as the concept, let him be remembered and revered as of the milestone alliances of human intelligence and spirit that has achieved the Revolution of the Mind at some point in time. 9 is the direct descendent of this human potential.

Yes, Mevlana has mapped the Universe. And he plays a big role in the origin of 9 along with others.

Who is 9 in the life of KiNo? KiNo obeys 9. 9 is the childhood essence of this man, incorruptible by the mediocrity of adulthood and material existence. It’s my mirror image as recognised by a 9 year old boy.

A low-fi acoustic performance of a part from the 9th song of the album – Hypnotic – serves as the base of a few poems from Mevlana, translated in today’s terms.

Part I -  Part II

WHAT DOES POET OF SOUND & IMAGE KiNo DO EXACTLY?

Third part of the impromptu interview with the New Yorkers on Wall street.
KiNo asks them a 3 step question specifically aimed to reveal exactly what the intent with the album Map of the Universe is. People confirm the crux of the cultural problem here.
Popularism dictates time what to preserve in the age of mechanical reproduction.
American equivalent to culture is a bit too oblique to grasp.
Long time KiNo collaborator Jennifer Armstrong conducted the interviews, while Karina Correa filmed.
Produced & edited by KiNo for the NBC pilot programme.
