I devote my life to the momentary constructions for the purpose of maintaining a regular study of neural biochemistry, processes, patterns, and networks whose effects on a performance installation would successfully present a solution.

An example of this is affecting a site’s mood initally set up by a pre-set design, with a resulting performance based upon the affected concentration of biochemicals in each present body. The modulation of mood and perception, as evoked or supressed by the artwork itself.

A more specific example of this is the observation of different levels of dehydration which affect the integral effectiveness of body enzymes by varying concentrations.

This type of work is relevant since exemplary leading behaviours are that which initiate communication before utterance is necessary, and such model work is affected by optimality of momentary human body composition as per iteration.

Peace in the place of violence necessitates the replacement of an action which becomes habitual, such as the thought of violent expression which can lead to harm. Exemplifying here a mild abuse of the body (as determined by dehydration) which leads to preoccupation and stress, making one unable to relate to others.

From birth one is externally stimulated to sculpt the self in interaction to environment, yet at the same time one as a human in the twenty-first century anywhere in the world that can reach mass media is constantly attracted to disregard the environment in the search for the multiplication of pleasure. Pleasure which is nothing more than attainment of a primal state, such as complete hydration.

The delicate balance of these major driving forces must be redesigned, documented, and tested before it can be professed. The acceptance of the current art equates life paradigm drawn by happenings, thus renders any type of art-making a document archived by its dimensions. A preocuppation currently expressed by archaeology.

These two ideas together, performance installation and archival systems, when combined are best illustrated by observing the timeline of a person’s life as a _local element_ which affects and reflects its own environment, as a moving installation piece, or performance installation which happens to naturally be site-specific by virtue of its choice of inhabitance.

The way in which an artist affects the surrounding sites and environment in a site-specific, localised manner is in and of itself a performance installation to his or her place of choice. As well, this projection which we call living I observe in terms of belongingness to presence.

Public interested are whom archive the arts of the surroundings utilizing phylogenic human technology. Demonstrating thus the deformation of environmental perception as the audience / public adapts to artwork.

A practice of exemplary recycling shapes a culture of exhaustive scarcity promoting conservativism at all costs; which expects to form a virtual and physical syllabus to impress, by reduction of uncertainty in subsequent generations, a greater fitness onto the species.

The applications of neuroethology and the profusion of neurogenesis to the study of performance installation are of dire need in a world where advertising and marketing research are driving the market of perceptual drive.

A work that would aid such humans whom endlessly battle and enjoy distractions by self-initiated neuromodulation, and handle the situation arising post-apocalyptically, is a model where correct momentary physical decisionmaking is necessary for succesful survival.

Current trends:

1. alcohol / opiate neuromodulation – obtaining goal or attaining conclusion, or clarity by depression of the hippocampus, which impairs memory formation and retrieval at all reasonable levels of normative brain activity. short-term effectiveness.

2. anger neuromodulation – willful maintenance of higly excited hippocampal, insular, and cigulare gyrus pathways also promotes selective memory retrieval and maintains a near-survival level of insight and decisionmaking. middle-term effectiveness.

3. interpersonal transgression neuromodulation – or mind/kinesthetic/situational games, which depending on desired outcome, will activate different neural patterns and biochemical concentrations to interact and network for such effect. long-term effectiveness

4. nourishment diet neuromodulation – different types of diets affect the body (raw, cooked, animal products, anorexia, ethnic rituals). varied effectiveness.

5. exercise neuromodulation – moving the body beyond necessity, sculpting the presence, dancing. short-term effectiveness.

6. psychedelic neuromodulation – ingesting psychedelic drugs to obtain a desired point of view, and the effects of this on the change in pervasive performance installation. varied effectiveness, usually lifelong changes.

7. antidepressant neuromodulation – prescribed or self-administered, goal-oriented exercises

gordon murray is a legend when it comes to race-cars.
he has designed championship-winning formula 1 cars, as well as the mclaren F1
(one of the fastest cars ever made) and the mercedes SLR mclaren. all of which were built
for speed, not based on their fuel economy. now murray is driving down a greener road.
his latest design is an environmentally friendly, compact commuter car - the T.25.

the T.25 compact size will allow two T.25's to travel in one UK motorway lane,
reducing congestion, while three of the cars will be able to easily fit into 1 standard UK
parallel parking space, dealing with the much needed issue of urban parking, as it is half the
size of the average car.

its overall power-to-weight ratio is better than the average 2 litre luxury saloon, reversing the
trend towards larger, heavier, more powerful cars. the three-seater is made of flyweight
composite materials and is smaller than a smart car, but has more interior room and gets in
80 miles to the gallon.

the T.25's design is a total re-consideration of high volume materials and manufacturing processes,
its production will reduce CO2 emissions over the life cycle of the car from 'cradle to grave'.
materials selected will be made from recycled parts where possible. the compact size
will reduce any energy used in raw material extraction and manufacture. its size will also
reduce the site needed for final assembly and manufacture, decreasing the energy used during
tooling and fixture production.

for murray, the difference between designing a race-car and a compact electric vehicle
is similar:
'it's all about designing cars that are lightweight, which makes them highly efficient as well.
the major difference between the two types of cars, however, is cost. creating a lightweight,
highly efficient car that is also affordable - not to mention cool and fun - is the most challenging
thing i've ever done.' - GM

murray has also started work on a 14.9 million USD project - partially funded by the
british government - to develop four prototypes of an electric car to be named T.27,
by february 2011. the cars are set to be 27% more efficient than any other electric vehicles,
but still be able to maintain a top speed of 60 m.p.h. in partnership with battery manufacturer,
zytek automotive, murray is also developing an electric drivetrain geared to small urban cars,
and is collaborating with michelin to devise an EV-friendly tire that reduces friction.

'radio active' by erez bar am

israeli designer erez bar am, a recent graduate of the shenkar college for engineering
and design has sent in images of his latest project 'radio active'. the analog radio
requires users to physically move its strings in order to turn up the volume or change
the station.

 'radio active' is made through plastic injection molding.
