The dynamism, torsion and naturalism evident in Minoan art stands in stark contrast to the hieratic rigidity of other ancient civilizations, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the iconography of the Minoan Epiphany, a set of mainly glyptic (rings, seals, and seal impression) images which appear to depict religious celebrants experiencing direct and seemingly ecstatic encounters with deities.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This collection of essays explores this central aspect of Minoan religion, taking a strongly archaeological focus to allow the artefacts to speak for themselves, moving from traditional ‘representational’ interpretations into ‘embodied’ perspectives in which the ecstatic capabilities of the human body throw new light on Aegean Bronze Age ritual practices. Such ideas challenge the rather passive assumptions modern Western observers often hold about the nature of religious feelings and experiences, in particular the depictions of altered states of consciousness in ancient art, and the visionary potential of dance gestures.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Speculative asides on the potential for a Minoan origin for Classical Greek humanism, and hints in the imagery on ancient Cretan conceptions of the cosmos, are set against sound archaeological theories to explain this lively and dynamic corpus of images. Beautifully illustrated with images and sketches of the relevant artefacts, this wide-ranging volume will stimulate audiences with archaeological, prehistorical and spiritual interests, as well as historians of religion and art. ‘The Minoan Epiphany’ also represents an influential antecedent to the Visionary Humanist philosophy which forms the majority of Bruce’s current independent research interests.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.biroz.net/xibalbabooks/research-minoan-epiphany.htm" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="567" data-original-width="750" src="http://www.biroz.net/xibalbabooks/research-minoan-epiphany-links.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Copyright (c) 2002-2020 Bruce Rimell : All images, artwork, and words on this blog page</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">are copyrighted to Bruce Rimell and may not be reproduced in any form unless stated otherwise.</span><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div><div><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div> </div></div>ART OF THE MYSTIC OTTO RAPPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10622255287965218573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379723752075179191.post-46562308011385818202020-05-23T09:12:00.001-06:002021-07-28T07:27:55.360-06:00SOCIAL CREDIT IN CHINA<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
China has shown us excellent ways of dealing with "The Situation", and these ways are being emulated by our glorious leaders.
Our leaders also mentioned Big Data, and other stuff. Just by the way, without too much attention placed on it. They are easing us into it, not too much at once, allowing us to get used to the idea, so we can accept it more easily. I think it's not bad to be informed about various great trends that are on the rise.
I already posted a little bit about this earlier. It is seen as a helpful development of society which benefits people tremendously, as you will hear several of them explain: "It's a good thing! A society has to have rules."
Therefore, any and all rules, whatever they may be, are a good thing!
You see?
It's a remarkable logic...
And so, as long as you live life exactly according to specifications, there are perks to be had, like paying only half the bus fare.
Do you remember when you saw Asian tourists walking around with protective face masks, and you thought that was weird?(Yes, I have asked this question before.)
This year, you have witnessed the birth of a new narrative. It grabbed hold of many, creating a wide-spread paralyses of the spirit. Trapped within fear, it was additionally reinforced by a dictated pretense of "caring for others".
Removing some of the new regulations, by way of demonstration etc., isn't going to do much.
The narrative is a power-tool, it is an enabler. THAT is the single most important thing to keep in mind.
It allows for almost anything to be pushed through, "in the name of the narrative".
On the other side of this narrative are love, nature, the human spirit...
I think some of you have forgotten how powerful it can be. The human spirit is immeasurable, and uncontainable.... UNLESS, we detain it ourselves, or allow others to convince us of mental/emotional traps. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wrote this text two weeks ago, but decided not to share it back then, but... why not. It's just information, about a "great new trend", and some thoughts.
It can't harm to know a bit more, right?
Oh! Starting Monday, the Bank Austria will be measuring the customers' temperature at the entrance. A heightened temperature or refusal to be measured means denial of service.
There is absolutely no justification for that at this point, in Austria, but they don't need a justification, you see?
They have the narrative.
That's all they need.</div>

China’s social credit system is a database or set of databases that keep up-to-date information on the behavior of individuals, corporations, and governmental entities across China. The social credit system has some similarities with the credit ratings provide for individuals and corporations in other countries, but captures information on a wider variety of behaviors.<br />

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Über die Irrtümer eines zirkulären Arguments</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ein kreisförmiges Argument, über drei Seiten, ohne zu definieren, was eine Verschwörungstheorie eigentlich ist, außer dass es alles sein muss, was gegen das verstößt, was der Autor selbst glaubt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Die Verknüpfung mit Artikeln in diesem Essay die selbst auf ähnliche Weise verfasst wurden, ohne wissenschaftliche Beweise zu zitieren, bestätigt nur, was offensichtlich ist, dass es sich um ein Zirkelargument handelt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Die Definition eines kreisförmigen Arguments ist Zirkulares Denken (lateinisch: circulus in probando, "Kreis beim Beweisen"; auch als zirkuläre Logik bekannt) ist ein logischer Irrtum, bei dem der Denker mit dem beginnt, womit er zu enden versucht. Die Komponenten eines Zirkelarguments sind häufig logisch gültig, denn wenn die Prämissen wahr sind, muss die Schlussfolgerung wahr sein.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Angenommen dies wäre eine akademische Abhandlung so wäre diese mit nicht genügend zu beurteilen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wenn ich zum Beispiel über Verschwörungstheorien spreche, dann nenne ich konkrete Beispiele, wie dieses hier:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
der Standard, 27. April 2020</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<i>In einer Sitzung im März wurde Ö1 zufolge darüber gesprochen, mit der Angst der Bevölkerung zu spielen. Es soll sich um einen "Gedankenaustausch" gehandelt haben.</i><br />
<br />
Beispiele von wilden Verschwörungstheorien gibt es genug, doch diese sind von Seiten der Regierung und den Medien geschürt nachdem das alte Angstmacher Protokoll aufgedeckt wurde. Jetzt wird verzweifelt was Neues gesucht damit man sagen kann: es ist Alles viel schlimmer als bisher geglaubt, Nur Bill Gates kann uns retten.<br />
<br />
Nur, dass die selber nicht daran glauben und in den öffentlichen Aussendungen ein Kasperltheater vorführen, das beweist eben das Video vom Kleinwalsertal.<br />

Clemens G. Arvay, MSc, is an Austrian biologist and author who specialized in medical ecology. He graduated in Plant Science (MSc) at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, as well as Landscape Ecology (BSc) at Graz University. His work is centered on the relation between biodiversity and health, whereby he focuses on the health-promoting influences of ecosystems in context with evidence-based preventive and complementary medicine. ..... <a href="https://www.clemensarvay.com/about" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Read More About</a><br />

The video I am embedding further down is a critique of the current rush to bring unproven and inadequately tested vaccines on the market. It was published 4 days ago on YouTube. Since then, Clemens has shared it on Facebook, and then something happened when he tried to promote it with a paid ad. Facebook rejected it:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"Your ad may have been rejected if it mentions politicians, topics that could influence the outcome of an election, or existing or proposed legislation. Learn more about social issue, electoral or political ads in the context of coronavirus (COVID-19)".</b></div>

<span style="font-size: 19.2px;">Since March 10th I've been in Self-Quarantine, but did go out shopping for food and a short walk on March 20th. So here is a Update from that walk - I took a couple of photos and shot a video, which I processed yesterday and finally posted on YouTube today.</span><br />

Now if you compare the photo on top and the cover image of the video, you might see that the group of 5 police, I assume once they discovered I was taking a video, all of a sudden started paying attention to the people (regulars that usually hang out there, getting their beer from the grocery stores across the plaza). My first observation was that the police were just standing there in a group, certainly not keeping the prescribes "social distance", no protection and acting as if they were "immune" to the virus that our Government is warning about and enforcing restrictions on us mere mortals.</div>

The graph on the bottom right does not show the curve for China, nor for recorded cases, together with "the rest of the world" as previously, but now just one single curve of overall cases.<br />
The orange curve represents China, the yellow curve the rest of the world, and the green curve the recovered cases.<br />
On two previous occasions I had taken screen shot of the zoomed graph to compare. See below:</div>

At the time I thought that if things proceed like this, we could see a flattening of the curve for us the same way as for China. But this was not the case as you can see in the following screen shot three days later.</span></center>

While I looked on subsequent days, I did not take screen shots, unfortunately. There was a slight slowing down, but barely noticeable.

<b>Liebe PatientInnen!</b><br />
<br />
Auch während der Corona-Krise sind wir selbstverständlich weiterhin für Sie bzw. für Ihre Gesundheit im Einsatz und betreuen auch weiterhin PatientInnen.<br />
<br />
<b>Akute Beschwerden</b><br />
<br />
Da sehr viele Spitalsambulanzen derzeit einen eingeschränkten Betrieb führen, übernehmen wir vermehrt die Betreuung von Patienten mit akuten Beschwerden. Idealerweise kontaktieren Sie uns vorher bitte telefonisch oder per e-Mail zwecks Terminvereinbarung.<br />
<br />
<b>Bestehende Termine</b><br />
<br />
Bestmöglich können wir Ihnen helfen, wenn Sie zu Ihrem Termin persönlich erscheinen.<br />
Sollten Sie zur Risikogruppe gehören und somit Befürchtungen vor einer Ansteckung haben und die Öffentlichkeit meiden, bieten wir Ihnen auch eine telefonische Betreuung an.<br />
Grundsätzlich sind die Folgen von unerkannten oder nicht gut behandelten Herz-Kreislauferkrankungen immer noch schwerwiegender als bei einer Erkrankung durch das Corona Virus.<br />
<br />
<b>Rezepte</b><br />
<br />
Rezepte für Ihre Dauermedikamente können entweder telefonisch, per e-mail (office@internist-nord.at) oder über das Formular „Rezeptvorbestellung“ auf unserer Homepage (www.internist-nord.at) bestellt werden. Die Rezepte werden von uns in der Rosen-Apotheke (1210, Brünner Straße 37) hinterlegt, wo Sie dann Ihre Medikamente ab dem nächsten Werktag mit Ihrer E-Card abholen können. Alternativ können wir Rezepte per e-mail an Ihre Wunsch-Apotheke zuschicken.<br />
Bitte halten Sie zu anderen Patienten in der Ordination möglichst Abstand (mind. 1 Meter) und desinfizieren sie Ihre Hände sofort nach dem Betreten der Ordination.<br />
Gemeinsam verhindern wir mit dieser Vorgehensweise die weitere Ausbreitung der Corona-Infektion!<br />
<br />
<b>Ihr Team Gruppenpraxis Internist-Nord.at</b><br />
<br />
Falls Sie befürchten, an Corona erkrankt zu sein, bleiben Sie bitte zu Hause und rufen Sie die Tel. Nr. 1450 an!<br />

<b>Dear patients!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Even during the Corona crisis, we are of course still working for you and your health and continue to look after patients.<br />
<br />
<b>Acute complaints</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Since a large number of hospital outpatient departments are currently running a restricted operation, we are increasingly taking care of patients with acute complaints. Ideally, please contact us in advance by phone or email to make an appointment.<br />
<br />
<b>Existing appointments</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
We can help you as best as possible if you appear in person at your appointment.If you belong to the risk group and are therefore afraid of infection and avoid the public, we also offer you telephone support. Basically, the consequences of undetected or poorly treated cardiovascular diseases are still more serious than those caused by the corona virus.<br />
<br />
<b>Prescriptions</b><br />
<br />
Prescriptions for your long-term medication can be ordered either by phone, e-mail (office@internist-nord.at) or using the "Prescription pre-order" form on our homepage (www.internist-nord.at). We store the prescriptions in the Rosen-Apotheke (1210, Brünner Straße 37), where you can pick up your medication with your e-card on the next working day. Alternatively, we can send prescriptions to your desired pharmacy by e-mail. Please keep as far as possible from other patients in the ordination (at least 1 meter) and disinfect your hands immediately after entering the ordination.Together we prevent the further spread of the corona infection with this procedure!<br />
<br />
<b>Your team group practice Internist-Nord.at</b><br />

If you are concerned about Corona, please stay at home and call 1450!<br />

I have posted about the Corona Virus several times - you will find links to my previous posts further down. I have been in Self-Quarantine since last Tuesday, leaving my apartment only a few times for grocery shopping (just across the street from my place). The last time I was further away was at my studio across town on Monday, March 9th. Everything seemed still normal at that time. But since then measures had been introduced that severely restricted peoples movements. Watching the news mainly on my laptop, I seen reports with <a href="https://www.heute.at/s/strassen-in-wien-leerer-aber-ansturm-auf-amter-48997079" rel="nofollow noopener" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e88e5; cursor: pointer; outline: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">photos and videos of near empty streets downtown Vienna</a>, where normally large crowds (mostly tourists) are mingling, sidewalk cafes and restaurants filled with people. But now, everything is closed except essentials: grocery stores, pharmacies and "Trafik" (tobacco shops) - right, smoking seems to be essential; and booze you can get at the grocery store. So we are all set, yahoo!<br />
But the images and videos of near empty streets and plazas reminded me of surrealist views, such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giorgio_de_Chirico#/media/File:The_Red_Tower.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e88e5; cursor: pointer; outline: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Giorgio de Chirico</a>, or the artist that had a great influence on me, <a href="https://www.suedkurier.de/ueberregional/kultur/Architektur-im-Bild-eine-Ausstellung-zwischen-Dokumentation-und-Fantasie;art10399,8966442" rel="nofollow noopener" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e88e5; cursor: pointer; outline: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Max Ernst</a>.<br />
This sort of depressing, near deserted scenery I painted on many occasions, ruins of civilizations, a unreal nightmare of a dystopian future. It was to be a excursion into my inner universe, a sort of catharsis to paint my deep-seated fears away. In those days when these works were created, I did not imagine that I would actually ever live in such a reality. Nobody I know and had talked to in these past days and weeks has ever experienced anything like that. I grew up in the post-WWII streets of Vienna among ruins, and I was in Canada when <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndrome" rel="nofollow noopener" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e88e5; cursor: pointer; outline: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">SARS</a> broke out 2002-2003, but I cannot remember anything like what we experience now.</div>

Before I go any further, here are links to previous blogs about the subject of SARS-Cov-2 - called Coronavirus. The first one began as a spoof when I found some silly postings concerning the Mexican Corona Beer, but while writing (and updating) it, I became more serious and included a lot of useful information.</div>

Before I get to the vital information, I want you to be aware that there is a lot of misinformation going on - up to the point of total stupidity and even frightening radical theories so far removed from sanity and reality you'd wonder who could believe this - but from the messages I receive, and postings I see on social media, I am beginning to question the sanity of some (or even a large number of) people. Even some people I know and never before suspected that they might be mental!</div>

you know everyone can see who and what kind of infantile troll you are. So if you put something into quotation marks it is OK to use and not considered plagiarizing? Now you really lost it, but if true, then I could just put entire scraped posts within quotation marks and <a href="https://steemit.com/@steemcleaners" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #06d6a9; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank">@steemcleaners</a> would have to accept that?

The best answer I found on Nasdaq. See the Quote below this image.<br />

No, the popular Mexican beer Corona is not affiliated with the deadly coronavirus that's spreading around the world, and Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ), which owns the Corona brand in the U.S., told Business Insider "We believe, by and large, that consumers understand there's no linkage between the virus and our business."
But Google search terms would beg to disagree. Since the virus began to take on global proportions in the middle of January, online searches for the phrase " beer coronavirus" surged over 3,200% globally while "corona beer virus" rocketed 2,300%. Similar terms that seemingly link the beer brand and the virus have also risen by hundreds of percent since.<br />

<br />
My comment on this:<br />
Corona Virus is a variant of SARS, which hit us in 2003.<br />
This is what is said about SARS in Wikipedia:
<b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndrome#Prevention" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Prevention: There is no vaccine for SARS</a> </b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Clinical isolation and quarantine remain the most effective means to prevent the spread of SARS.</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Does this require an update? If there was no vaccine for SARS, the question is why all of a sudden we are seemingly at the cusp of developing a vaccine against the Corona Virus i.e. SARS-CoV-2?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Über meine Werke: Das sind universelle Archetypen, die tief im Inneren eines kollektiven Unterbewusstseins zu finden sind; während scheinbar ausserirdisch und fremd, sie sind gleichzeitig auch seltsam vertraulich. Ich nehme die Betrachter in ein Gebiet, das sie nur vorher noch in einer anderen Existenz, wie auch in Träumen, betreten haben. Es ist eine 'Methode in diesem Wahnsinn' doch entsteht Alles durch Ausschluss von bewusster Führung. Die Arbeit wächst scheinbar von alleine, wie Eisblumen auf einer Fensterscheibe.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><i>About my work: These are universal archetypes that may be found deep inside our collective unconscious. While seemingly extraterrestrial and alien, they are also strangely familiar. It will take the viewer into an area that they might have been before in another existence or have entered in their dreams. It is a 'method in this madness' but everything arises by elimination of conscious guidance. The work grows seemingly by itself, like frost flowers on a windowpane.</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
2015 habe ich einen neuen Werkabschnitt begonnen ,das „Neolithikum“, in dem ich das Thema der „Steinperiode“ (1970-1980) wieder aufgegriffen habe.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mein Bestreben war es aber, durch Einbeziehung meiner abstrakteren Malweise der letzten Jahrzehnte , neue Vorstellungswelten, also frisches malerisches Terrain zu entdecken.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Das Zusammenspiel der Metaphern MAUER und STERNE eröffnet eine neue PERSPEKTIVE DER TRANSZENDENZ ,die in eine kollektive Lebenswelt jenseits der Mauer weist. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In diesem Sinne zeigen die ausgestellten Werke auch , wie ich durch die "Methode der Verwandlung“ meine Inhalte erweitere.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>I started a new body of work in 2015, the „Neolithic“, in which I picked up the theme of the „stoneperiod“ (1970-1980) again.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Yet it was my intention to discover new minds capes, fresh painterly territory through the integration of my more abstract painting style of the last decades .</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>The interaction of the metaphors WALL and STARS opened up a new PERSPECTIVE OF TRANSZENDENCE into a collective sphere of life beyond the wall.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>In this sense the exhibited works show also, how I expand my contents through the „method of transformation“.</i></div>

Erstellt der Künstler tatsächlich seine Bilder oder ist seine Vorstellungskraft letztendlich nur eine Art magischer Empfangsapparat, Antenne und Verstärker? Der Künstler ist Empfänger zahlreicher Botschaften, Weisheiten, Symbole und Gleichnisse und kennt den Absender nicht. Der Träumer ist eine Brücke zwischen Schlafen und Wachen. Er ist die Brücke, die die beiden Ufer verbindet. Aber jeder für sich ist nur eine Hälfte, bis beide zusammen ein Ganzes ergeben.</div>

I find it sort of goofy that they actually maintain a domain like this with bad web pages.<br /><br />Checking the Internet Archive for my particular page, I found this: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130821093647/https://www.zeigdeinekunst.de/zdk-portal/userProfile/show/6830" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://web.archive.org/web/20130821093647/https://www.zeigdeinekunst.de/zdk-portal/userProfile/show/6830</a><br />

As if I had nothing else to do -some time ago I was surfing the net
and found these sites where you can create great stuff with your photos.
Deep Dream I had used before, when it was in beta, but now you have to
sign up/sign in. It is free, and there are many more effects to chose
from now.</span><br />

Of late I had made use of the <a href="https://deepdreamgenerator.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Deep Dream Generator</a> quite often. It is almost addictive, once you get started. I had been trying it when it first was introduced. At that time, it was a simple site with basically one Deep Dream style. I think I found the site via an article like this: <a href="https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/google-robots-dream-crazy-psychedelic-pictures-using-inceptionism-ai-neural-networks-photos-1507584" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Google robots dream up crazy psychedelic pictures using 'inceptionism' AI neural networks</a>. Trying it out, I was hooked! For a time after that, I was not using the site and found when accessing it again, you had to create a account and log in. It is still free to use, but vastly improved since its early days several years ago. Because now, in addition to pre-set styles, you can upload your own styles as well.</div>

I blogged about this, as well as a GIF Creator Program in September 2016:<br />
<b><a href="https://www.artofthemystic.com/blog/deep-dream-and-gif-creator" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">DEEP DREAM AND GIF CREATOR</a>.</b><br />
At that time, I had combined photoshop images of my portrait with Deep Dream and created a GIF using this<br />
<a href="http://gifcreator.me/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>GIF GENERATOR WEBSITE</b></a><br />
<br />

<br />
Making animated GIF images is a little complicated in Photoshop, so when I was looking for a tutorial, I found <a href="http://gifcreator.me/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this website</a> where it is easy to create animated GIF: all you have to do is upload your images, select the parameters and voila, done! This one here is also my first test, using images I had on hand (some of which were photo-shopped, some previously created in Deep Dream).<br />
<br />
🔻<br />
<br />
eventually, I put together many different Deep Dream images of a close-up of my eye and created this<br />

would you have an explanation for this?<br />
<br />
Considering that even your home page got the same treatment, I assume it must have happened to all your clients!<br />

Sorry you're seeing this problem! It sounds like Chrome is blocking access to certain Weebly sites.<br />
<br />
Rest assured this is just a false positive and your site is secure. We're working to get the problem resolved as soon as possible.<br />
<br />

For more than ten years, Prof. Arik Brauer has maintained a private collection in the basement of his Vienna villa in the Cottage Quarter. On about 200²m his most important oil paintings from the last decades, as well as his most recent ceramic sculptures are presented. A cross-section of his life's work, Fantastic Realism.<br />
Arik Brauer, who celebrates his 90th birthday on 04.01.2019, continues to spend his days from early in the morning until the evening on the easels. Throughout his life as an artist he still works on several pictures simultaneously. He sees no reason to change this habit.<br />

A journey through time from the interwar period in Ottakring to Paris in the '68, from cycling trips to Africa to near-death experiences at Lake Neusiedl. Stories of love, nature and politics show the fantastic-realistic life of this exceptional artistic talent.<br />

I was 13 when I discovered Chatropolis. Since internet connectivity was unreliable then, I began paying more attention to my dial-up modem. My anxiety would rise with the tempo of its beeps and whistles. But I couldn’t leave my room locked for long. The laundry would invariably need taking out, or my sister would again be curious about my whereabouts. I’d have an hour if I was lucky. The trouble with Chatropolis, however, was that it needed time. Its adult chat rooms were all categorised on the basis of fetishes or sexual preference. To get something going, you had to loiter, and I was always in a hurry.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" />
Pretending to be a dapper doctor in ‘The Hospital’, I forgot my teenage plumpness. In the rooms of Chatropolis, no one asked about your everyday life. You were the pornographic cliché you wanted to be. For the first month, the conversations I had didn’t really go anywhere. I felt out of place in the ‘Nudist Colony’, and I could never muster the authority that other men seemed to have in ‘Office Seduction’. The sex ratio, I saw, was also skewed. For every five men, there was one woman here. Years later, I would tell myself that my decision to pick a female avatar was first influenced by statistics.</blockquote>

Excerpt from his <a href="http://www.jos-pirkner.at/?page_id=11" target="_blank">Biography</a>, translated from German:</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The young artist followed an offer from the Brom brothers in 1951 and began working as an independent gold and silver sculptor for this world-famous studio in the Netherlands. Jos Pirkner was accepted by the Academy of Fine Arts in Amsterdam and attended as a guest auditor the Free Academy in Utrecht. This city was his second home for the next 25 years. Pirkner opened his own studio and married in 1966 Joke Baegen. Immediately after the birth of his son Gidi, he returned to East Tyrol in 1978. Prof. Jos Pirkner lives with his family in Tristach near Lienz. The work of Jos Pirkner unites imagination and energy. And another, rare quality of a sculptor: the sense of human sensitivity. In the midst of the destruction and poverty of the post-war years, my parents have financed me with an artistic education. Where bread is scarce, art has no value. Nevertheless, my parents advised me to go my own way, as did the Dutch painter Charles Eyk years later, whom I met in Amsterdam. These people have not shaped my work, but my personality as an artist. I owe to them the self-confidence, undeterred by commercial and intellectual fashions, simply to make my art.</div>

massive copyright violations on minds</h1>

<a href="https://www.minds.com/" rel="noopener" style="color: #d8d7d3; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Minds</a> appears to be a haven for some copyright violators who scrape images off the internet and post them without attribution, trying to profit from other peoples work.</div>

If you want to know about Copyright and related issues, I operate a website, Visionary Art Gallery, where I dedicated a page to this issue. Also, a link to that page appears in the footer and thus on each and every represented artists page (there are well over 500 artists represented). Check it out here: <a href="https://www.vagallery.com/copyright.html" rel="noopener" style="color: #d8d7d3; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">https://www.vagallery.com/copyright.html</a></div>

About the specifics</h4>

<sup>The above image is a painting by <a href="https://www.vagallery.com/martina-hoffmann.html" rel="noopener" style="color: #d8d7d3; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">MARTINA HOFFMANN</a>,<br />a friend and fellow artist whom I published in my <a href="https://www.vagallery.com/" rel="noopener" style="color: #d8d7d3; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">VISIONARY ART GALLERY</a></sup>This painting, along with many others, was found on <a href="https://www.minds.com/groups/profile/666722386204172306" rel="noopener" style="color: #d8d7d3; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">MINDS Visionary Art Channel</a> without any attribution, posted by the user <a href="https://www.minds.com/Ricky168" rel="noopener" style="color: #d8d7d3; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Ricky168</a></div>

After this was initially discovered by <a href="https://busy.org/@libaws" rel="noopener" style="color: #d8d7d3; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">@libaws</a> and posted on her Facebook page, a discussion ensued, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/martina.hoffmann.547/posts/10158205260354896" rel="noopener" style="color: #d8d7d3; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Martina Hoffmann posted the following on Facebook:</a></div>
<blockquote style="background: rgb(27, 24, 20); border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(53, 48, 42); color: #999999; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.1px; padding: 1px 15px 5px;">
<div style="line-height: 1.5em;">
I usually dislike getting involved in this sort of a thing but was made aware of this site (<a href="https://www.minds.com/" rel="noopener" style="color: #d8d7d3; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">https://www.minds.com/</a>) that is ‘The CRYPTO SOCIAL NETWORK”, which states: “We are an open source and decentralized platform for Internet freedom. GET PAID IN CRYPTO FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION to the community”. Someone, unknown to me, (<a href="https://www.minds.com/Ricky168" rel="noopener" style="color: #d8d7d3; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">https://www.minds.com/Ricky168</a>) created a page called “Visionary Art’…”<a href="https://www.minds.com/groups/profile/666722386204172306" rel="noopener" style="color: #d8d7d3; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">https://www.minds.com/groups/profile/666722386204172306</a>” and posted my work as well as the work of other artists without asking permission nor giving us proper credit. So I tried to post the following comment below my art on his page: “This image was published on this site WITHOUT MY CONSENT, and while I really do appreciate that the creators of this page did mark the fact that ALL OF MY WORK IS COPY RIGHTED, which makes it subject to my specific consent for any form of usage or second-party publication, they still did not respect it. They also neglected to add the proper title and name of artist next to my GODDESS TRIANGLE BY MARTINA HOFFMANN. My work is all over the net and performing a google search in order to gather all necessary information is not rocket science. Thank you for rectifying this on all of my images as well as on those by all other ‘un-named artists’ published on your page!”When I tried to post this comment below my art, I received this message: “The comment couldn’t be saved because <a href="https://www.minds.com/Ricky168" rel="noopener" style="color: #d8d7d3; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">@Ricky168 </a>has blocked you.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em;">
WOW!<br />
So to make my complaint very clear: I DO APPRECIATE people sharing my art but I’d l’d like to be credited appropriately and feel ripped off when my art is used, without my consent to collect voting points to earn crypto currency while I’m (the artist) being compensated for the publication of my art….Thoughts anyone?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em;">
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE THIS WITH YOUR COMMUNITY and DOWN WITH THE PIRATES!!!</div>

My Facebook comment:<br />
Martina Hoffmann if you are a member of Minds (I don’t know if you can if you are not), you can flag each individual piece – down arrow drop down menu – and mark it copyright violation. What happens next is that they give you a e-mail address:<br />
Please submit a DMCA notice to copyright@minds.com<br />
Anyway, I scrolled around for a while on that users account <a href="https://www.minds.com/Ricky168" rel="noopener" style="color: #d8d7d3; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">https://www.minds.com/Ricky168</a> and between Sept. 23rd and September 4th I found 62 copyright violations of artwork by people I know very well – not counting oodles of photos and tattoo artists. It seems he is scraping a eclectic variety of websites to steal images, i.e. those 62 I copied the URL’s I must have scrolled through hundreds of images within that short time period, so we are looking at the tip of the iceberg!</div>

<sup>as I said, this list is just the tip of the iceberg, it is just ONE OF THE USERS ON MINDS that stuck out like a sore thumb, but a cursory scrolling of the posts on this <a href="https://www.minds.com/groups/profile/666722386204172306" rel="noopener" style="color: #d8d7d3; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">MINDS Visionary Art Channel</a> would reveal several more.</sup></div>

I also posted my 2 cents worth on a blog post discussion on Minds:<br />

<div style="line-height: 1.5em;">
how to kill Minds? by having users on there that blatantly violate copyright, scraping images off the net and posting without attribution. Here is a comment I added to one post (you can see the post, I shared and pinned it to the top of my page) – and this is my comment: “a quick search between 22.9. and 4.9.2018 I found 61 copyright violations alone of artists works that I know personally, not counting possibly hundreds of others, photographers, tattoo artists etc. within just such a short time period alone. There appears NOTHING to be the work of the user <a href="https://busy.org/@ricky168" rel="noopener" style="color: #d8d7d3; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">@Ricky168</a> himself. None of the posts bear any attribution! Even so, copyright work can only be displayed with the permission of the copyright owner, particularly if the use of it is monetized! To clarify: If the artist himself posts a image, you are allowed to “share” it by re-blogging because then the image link will point back to the artist, but you are NOT allowed to scrape a image from the internet, even if you credit the artist!</div>
