Belinda runs workshops for new and expecting parents. Feedback
regarding the original workshop series has been very positive.
workshops aim to strengthen both the partnership and early
parenting. However new parents are met with a barrage of products
and services all drawing on limited funds. The talk covers some of
the ideas and exercises participants found most helpful in the
longer workshop series and also serves as an introduction to the
workshops for those who wish to do some further work.

Please forward to anyone you feel would be interested.

With many thanks
Belinda Farre

We live in the kind of world that you can do that in,
it is probably the thing I like most about the world we do live in.

Seeing the big picture is a luxury
seeing the advantaged using it usefully excellent.

The latest punch at it by advertising
{advertising and sustainability} (e.g. adbags [http://www.biz-community.com/Article/196/12/9527.html] by TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris [http://www.tbwa.com/])
deserves nothing but standing ovation.

Applied creativity is an eerie thing
its structure spawning autopoetic
salutogenesis seemingly at random
in truth driven by ultimate reality.

Design is begging for the u to be rediscovered
everywhere in each intimacy
inwov’n structure and form
in our every expression.

Now if you hold the kind of focus that can see that kind of detail, at that kind of resolution and its quality and promotion and you trust your sense of judgement
and pull back on your point of reference
as far as you can without losing
necessary balance between objective and subjective
reason and experiential emergence.

New media is a good industry to be involved in tonight.

Good night.

I love that I can hop over to DigitallyImported.com and plug into some of the most sophisticated contemporary music streams thumping in the world today.

Franci Cronje’s 2004 masters paper explains the importance of William Kentridge’s work – particularly for new media. His new book Wiliam Kentridge Prints is beautiful – in fact lets put up its cover in high-ish res as a special treat to the bandwidth advantaged. If you appreciate the finer subtleties of obliquity, also have a look at Nathaniel Stern (the other new media artist featured in her paper)’s Compresionism.
