Impossible is Nothing by Xu Zhen
Limit vs. boundary
A psychological need or biological fact?
For how long can a human being exist in observed isolation?
Live in, live within, lived observed, lived mediated…. Social reality or lived assumption?
What is the difference between lived and observed reality?
Condition vs. principle
A historical fact or mediated fiction?
Welcome to the world of Xu Zhen.
Impossible is Nothing – connect the words：
we are looking at the piece “The Starving of Sudan”
“This performance installation takes its subject and visual frame from the Pulitzer-prize winning photograph taken by South African photographer Kevin Carter in 1994. Shot in famine-stricken Sudan, this image shows a vulture lurking in the rear, its eyes fixed on a young Sudanese baby, waiting for it to die. Xu Zhen has recreated this scene in ‘The Starving of Sudan’. Walking into the brightly lit room (moving out of the dense darkness of ‘Decoration’) you are immediately confronted by the heat and smell of organic matter where a tiny living memory is re-enacting/performing this horrific moment. It is quite apparent that this piece hits an intrinsic human nerve – hearing the sudden rapid intake of breath or seeing the hands that flutter to the mouths of those who stumble into the gallery – providing testament to a kind of universal understanding of self-worth. After receiving the Pulitzer, Carter subsequently rose to the top of journalism fame overnight, only to be found two months later, dead in Johannesburg, from self-inflicted carbon monoxide poisoning. It is said he was a highly competitive man who craved professional recognition, whose death was mired in a guilt conscience heavily exacerbated by the press who soon came to question the ethical difference between voyeurism and journalism (argued in his leaving the scene without knowing the fate of the child). It is this dark side of ‘truth’ and ‘conscience’ that Xu Zhen prods, confronts and willfully, perhaps sadistically inserts his own artistic practice.” (by Zoe Butt)
and then Catalina responds:
testing grounds, experimenting, creating boundaries and limits.
education dictates a constructive criticism of cyclical, natural living and its definitions by the restructuring of humanity in terms of its fitness around what “be” and what “is”
by education i mean culture, social constructions in terms of community. an attempt to define an interphase to bridge the confusion in which we have grown to assume others as not extensions of self, a familiality with all beings that we lose as we sculpt our innocence to encase our lives around the dreams of others.
i want to assume that limitlessnes and limit is the same, that the multidimensional continuum is real, as i see it and wish others to see it, i believe that Xu Zhen succeeds in this type of genital twisting, where the audience becomes a victim vicariously, a situation and site created by a performance which transcends its own context.
a baby child and a vulture both waiting for the same end, where their physical emergence (by nourishment) dissolves the boundary and limit of persona and human importance.
the fact that this situation rather common in nature, in an external iteration, where the site of observation, the site of child, and the site of adult predator are maintained we see the dissipation of the physical site. site where this specifically alluded type of interaction may naturally be present. this is to say that by the biochemical interaction (proximity-smell-recognition, visual cue-recognition) between the observer and the observed dissipates the spatial boundary by emergence of awareness into a collective conscious of predator and prey where the predator controls the longevity of the prey. in other words, situational interaction is an integration of dimensionally communicative behaviours. the observational interaction of the isolation of a human thus describes the psychology of each reality as biological responses homogenize the existence of the predator and prey until the prey becomes food.
now if we think of the photographer and his self-inflicted death, we can also infer a dissipation of a personal human boundary much like the baby’s where hyperawareness of himself as like the vulture, where his observation and documentation of the dying baby placed him parallel to the “wild” predator. like if we imagine all the succulent relishing of the baby’s meat by the bird once the child’s body has reached equilibrium with the environment is equal to the reverence and glory subsequent to receiving a highly prized journalism award as the Pulitzer prize. i hope this isnt what drove Kevin Carter to suicide.
Dear Xu, what do you make of this? in case I have missunderstood your piece…
statement of purpose
“Way in which I affect the surrounding sites and environment in a site-specific, manner is in and of itself a public performance installation summoned by pure inhabitance and or presence. As well, this projection which we call living I observe in terms of belongingness to locality . 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. To successfully achieve this goal, I have prepared by obtaining an bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience, led by my interest in the somatotopic sense organization and the biochemical interactions of multicellular organisms with their surrounding environment. This knowledge I supplement with observational comparative studies of human variations in common living spaces and conceptual art experimentation of various media. I believe that attending ______ will provide me with a constructive opportunity to refine my practice of performance installation through interdisciplinary collaborative work under a non-medium specific program.”

the extended death of bubbles in the riverside air may be attributed to the combination of heat and low air moisture
it is interesting to notice that soap bubbles in the riverside air live longer as oil suspensions than as water + surfactant solutions. this comes from constant observation of the lenght of stay of a buble and the rate at which a bubble pops or disintegrates into the air.
bubbles blown into a room which can be crossed in five steps, also open to the external environment through a door sized window in the city of riverside take a decisive diaphanous dive into the floor. usually they disintegrate into the air by blurring their interphase and becoming part of the thick particular fluid which i propose might be happening by voronoi tesselation, since no debris from the bubble is to be seen fall on the ground.
voronoi tesselation has been defined by Icke & van de Weygaert in 1991 to be the random distribution of a points around a plane, each point representing the center of a sphere of uniform expansion. so when spheres intersect, they form an interphase and we can see the result of that as mousse, or foam called voronoi foam. this may also be attributed to explosions and the formations of galaxies, to bubblebaths, to mixing paint, to photography printing, to coloring, to making soup…
and most importantly, to pompas de jabón dissipating into the air.
so, to illustrate my hypothesis that air quality affects the lifespan, strength, and quality of soap bubbles I propose the followig course of study. further research would lead this hypothesis to determine the effects of the composition of breathable air on the mammalian cell membrane both internally and externally, as well as the importance of these properties in the immediate gratification of the female woman
proposed materials and methods
to determine the identities of particles in the air, a gas chromatographer… i think any will do since they all do the same thing 
no nanothech there.
to measure the densities of the gases mixed in the air, a raman spectrometer.
a modified light microscope with camera to observe, measure, and record the physical behavior of the bubbles studied… someting in the range of 50-100 megapixels might suffice with appropriate imaging softwar
to measure the pattern of tesselation during the pop point, i have yet to obtain the name of the machine… physics people are keeping too much to themselves these days 
a voice recording pocket machine, to interview self-identified latinas
a pocket-sized digital camera to photograph each woman interviewed
would YOU happen to have these machines and laboratory / desk space that i could borrow for the lenght of this study?
**UPDATE**
two conversations have begun to modulate my experimental setup by their interesting theoretical provenances.
- the possibility for a mathematical illustration as more plausible than physical observation, more economical and more boring but a proper virtual model could replace the need to observe and create a theoretical experiment using the laws which we can measure
- experimenting with different materials to make a hydrophobic-hydrophillic layer that would maintain the life of the bubble… but this would render the soap bubble a ball, which it is, but doesn’t perform the functions of a soap bubble
So I have decided to explain myself much better. I want to determine the environmental requirements for breathing air that would be moist enough to allow the soapbubble to live in the air and move slowly, but dirty enough to absorb the bubble’s moisture and dissipate the surfactant into the surrounding air, where the soap stays suspended until its entire disintegration. That is to say that the bubble doesnt pop and the soap does not just fall to the ground to make part of dust.
Gas chromatography of air pollutants at different air densities would provide a starting point to creating the optimal gaseous environment in regards to the measured density of the soapbubble constituents using liquid chromatography.
Also, precipitation tests would be necessary to determine which air particles may precipitate a substrate when combined with soap bubble chemicals. Because we are attempting to prevent that exactly!
SoOoOo these preceding steps would need to be quantised, normalised, and re-tested in experimental practice to obtain any mathematical material that would be helpful in designing mini environments in which to test soap bubbles in real time.
Then gas experiments would follow to determine presence or absence of chemicals.
It is possible that viewing bubbles through a microscope or high-power recording equipment would aid in determining the proper disintegration of the soap bubble, but it will be a harder task to prove voronoid tesselation of the soap and water molecules into the volume of the gas contained in the enviroment simulation.
** update **
ok so voronoid tesselation can be explained mathematically from the readings the experimental setup would provide!
now onto gathering formulae and definitions

painful sprains, bruises, and torn ligaments are only part of which bike riders suffer while abused by people inside metal cages suffer.
i want to end the suffering by creating a bag that neither a bicycle rider can carry while riding (as it will slide) yet its only objective is to demonstrate the difficulty in attempting to transport the body in light of the dangers abound.
pale shiny is ligaments which support transport… yet they are slippery when exposed
baby poo green innards are bruises that must be ignored when out on the street trying to safely reach the bike lane

i mean, when the opposing force creates a narrative paralleling the facts, there is nothing left to do but to dismiss it when history is written as clarification.
eventually, enough time passes, and enough people forget either side that both ideas become fiction.
my people never saw what the communists claim in terms of the desaparecidos, yet they do vividly remember the stadium, the detainment, and the misery of civil chaos which sprouted eventually the most stable economy and politically free state in latin america.

Catalina’s account of Vatalina
It was seriously an ordeal to obtain freedom from Vata’s claws once she found out that the blog was meant to return to me rather than maintain its imposed identity. After all, it’s under Catali.nu and not Vatali.nu. As I am still reflecting, Dear Mrs Suderburg, I will soon process and deliver a juicy essay regarding this specific performance installation. The culmination and birth of La Payasa for the world to love.
Catalina loves to studi.
Vatalina’s DIA CUATRO : BorethDAY!!!!!!
study day againnnnnn
CHILLIN AT THE QUAD listenin to my playlissssst n kickin it w my cholas 
happy birthday Vatalina!!!!!!!!!!!
(muchas gracias Salvador Placencia)
VATALINA’S BIRTHDAY PRESENT!
the playlist one the boombox playinnnnnn
MIL GRACIAS YALIE FOR BEING THE SHIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DIA UMMMMHHHHHHHHHHH TRES!
Vatalina is having bore time studyiiiiiinnnnnnnnnn
so Vata is a very serious stoodent forreals
spend all goddamn day readin about drugs yo!
WAY NUROPHARM!!!!!!!!!!!!
so what did Vata learn today?
well, that missions are one
and that jus like that pop dude varho or somthin said that two’s a crowd
oh class-wise?
well, i woke up late so i studied ALLLLLLLL day for midterm next week
apparently the blood brain barrier isnt that much of a barrier, and it prefers the fatties over the electrically charged ionic future shit.
not a surprise esssseeeeee
and goddamn tyrosine hydroxylase is everyones mom so that ho regulates sum naaaaasty as shit, like if you get to cum or not… jajajajaa so if tyro hydro is like STOP and you stuck too much coca in the nose, just like expected, there will be no dopamine made to make u feeeeel good and then u get parkinsons… no? nice!! :D:D:D:D say no to drogas kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they KILL like a badass chola so ya. oh yea tyrosine hydro decided how many drug molecules youll make, since it turns L-tyrosine into DOPA and depending how much DOPA u got, how much dopamine u can make, and then it all depends if u got the right enzymes to cut this shit into epinephrine and norepinephrine… so yall can learn n stuff ^.^
:: suspiro ::
DAY UMMMMMMMMMMH TWO
Ya so second day came and Vatalina wakes the fuck upp upppppppppp
and her Vata Bubbles says “MERAAAA METALCORE FOTOCHOOT”
so u thought my name woud be la sad eyes no??
wakin up w perfect hair ain’t this easy
me n my cholo got the same hair no??
ya dis cholo even look like me
M 2 da P = MalPe reppin the Manipal beeeeach!!!
don’t fuck w a chola who knows how to use SANDPAPER cuz ull DIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
(gracias Chola Crystal, I hope you break up w that biker vato asap. stat. im jealous. n ur hot.)
DAY UHMMMMMM UNO!
DAY ONE VATALINA
- recognize turf barrio way
- vatalina doesnt go to class or do nothin if one of her cholas is having problems with her vato and is sad.
– such a thing happened and vatalina ended up at the coffee shop skipping class for her hermana who had a fight with her vato but she IS STUDYINN
- people dont look at vatalina much different. they actually see her less!
GO VATALINA!!!!!!!!!!!
- vatalina dont give a fuck about christians cuz they hate on La Vírgen so she scorns at the preacher and he calls her a stinky lesbian
(gracias Crystal, te quiero para mí solita)
VATALINA SAYS DONT TRUST THEM JESUS PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!1!!!!ONEONEONEONEONE!!!!!!!!!!!
M 2 da P REPRESENT MANIPAL WHERE MY EASTERN CHOLAS @ !!!!???!!??!?!?!!?!!!?!?!?!?
and so Vatalina moved into the nighttime vatos and vatas!!
she was so excited to go see her Vato’s show in Echo Park ese!
Buuuuuuut
the door was soo damn crowdy Vatalina said Fuck IT i wantt SOME TACOS
and then she emailed her Vato OMAGAAAAD SHIT AINT ESSSSAY TODAY
lEEn lIke a cHOLA LeEn LiKe A ChOlA // VATALINA’S BIRTHDAY
leen leen like a chola
there comes a time in a womyn’s life when she decides the persona to become for the rest of her life. usually this is inherited in some way, passed on.
sometimes removal from natural environment or nationality affects the growth of such a womyn, and she creates her own idea of what persona means.
what happens when the womyn in question are determined to be and not to act?
womyn of color in southern california unite through a rather strange and interesting beauty canon which only the strongest and most powerful souls may wear.
this is not because of the time expense, but because of the simplicity of details of the face which based only on their form may express millions of ideas and concepts.
it is minimal makeup, which causes the strongest impression, as we can see through ancient history’s use of elements like eyeliner and hair removal. natural lines are removed and redrawn to create a new perfection.
a sought perfection of communication of personality is expressed as the lines are drawn. the higher, and more intense the brow, the tougher the chola.
the culture of the latina eyebrow, in my eyes, stems from the perception of innocence and frailty that the inherited father’s brow imposes on the girl. In spanish cultures of the colonised latin world, when the girl becomes a woman, her eyebrows delineate her beauty, thick fullness accompanies blushing cheeks and red lips as healthy as can be.
These days, this canon among latinas has changed to the current chola way of life, i suppose in rejection of colonialism and its ideals.
though beauty is not the only desired characteristic, neither the tough behaviour. cholas care about their kids, their lives, and most of all, their vatos locos.
Love is the ultimate answer!
i seek to explore the chola way of life and impress it onto UCR by drawing attention to the persona i will take on, and attempt to more faithfully represent it. i will not record the experience, but I will write accounts of contact and reactions.
i will love my persona as myself.
WHEN & WHERE
tuesday-friday this week = going to class, etc beein a chola
friday, may 2nd its Vatalina’s birthday
so meet me at the UCR belltower @ 2 for a chola kickback homieg
fetish day
so, this isn’t about moments where defecation or urination is amusing
last night was ridiculous and really, this morning had a cherry
ok, so neighbor at my friend’s door asks about car connections to ipods and videos and projectors etc.
in the end, this guy needs to go to the apple store
someone points out my apparent interest with body mutilations
i ask if they have ever seen the BME videos of the aussies with the penis and testicle self-extirpations using tiny medieval axes
so the neighbor went to prison at some point in his life, where inmates have a certain fetish or practice to sharpen toothbrushes to pierce their penises… to then facilitate the insertion of rosary beads underneath the skin and images of textured penises flooded my imagination… WHAT??
