Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a state of human consciousness involving focused attention and reduced peripheral awareness and an enhanced capacity to respond to suggestion.
Physicians and psychologists may use hypnosis to treat depression, anxiety, eating disorders, sleep disorders, compulsive gambling, and posttraumatic stress, while certified hypnotherapists who are not physicians or psychologists often treat smoking and weight management. $

Surveillance State
Asurveillance state is a country where the government engages in pervasive surveillance of large numbers of its citizens and visitors. Such widespread surveillance is usually justified as being necessary to prevent crime or acts of terrorism, but may also be used to stifle criticism of and opposition to the government.
Examples of early surveillance states include the former Soviet Union and the former East Germany, which had a large network of informers and an advanced technology base in computing and spy-camera technology. But these states did not have today’s technologies for mass surveillance, such as the use of databases and pattern recognition software to cross-correlate information obtained by wire tapping, including speech recognition and telecommunications traffic analysis, monitoring of financial transactions, automatic number plate recognition, the tracking of the position of mobile telephones, and facial recognition systems. $

It’s been a long winter, and I feel as if I’ve jerked awake from my creative slumber. The weather is warming (finally!) and the ideas are spilling from me faster than I can write them down. It’s been a good 6 months since I’ve felt this kind of momentum, and it seems to me that I flow with the seasons. And we kicked off spring with a bang! I started off with a visit to my friend and model Lauren,…
Anhedonia: the inability to feel pleasure in normally pleasurable activities.
The witch II
The documentary of my time in Italy at Fabrica Research Centre is finally live for everyone! Filmed by Mattia Mura, it’s a great look into my image-making practice back when I was making work for This World and Others Like It.
Please give it a watch and let us know what you think - thanks! :)
