i wouldnt call it an obsession. more like pattern recognition
and preferring certain qualities over others ... after 3 weeks anywhere i reset to the
physical + cultural surroundings of that environment. which is why i abs lv .ro
those people look, move, feel, sound like home. after 3 months in .ro entering western 
europe = m9ndfukc, the people look deformed

as for 2x - the typical 2x new media artist = mostly genderless (anne nigten was a perfect example) 
so the polish personage appeared eccentric considering the place and space because she looked as a woman

and that was one event where the women were talking to themselves and the xys to themselves.
not that that doesnt happen elsewhere ... most xyz cannot tune into the
intuitive 2x wisdom freq and most 2x smile compassionately at the mostly meaningless xy predilections.

I used to say simply.superior etc but I wasnt certain.
This confirmed it.


>you have much criticism of this event.

amalgam of ants without a nest, without roots, quoting titles, concepts + authors and not 
real people, looking for meaning.
but - a meaningful life does not necessarily mean a comfortable life,
nor a life dedicated to work/freedom and other deeply democratic products.

exactly ... but there are a few which are timeless
am not suggesting their creators live full lives
i wish they would be more honest and place those comments in their projects
eg. blabla destroyed my health. blabla made my hair fall out. blabla destroyed my marriage. 

the stuff one hears privately is amazing.
but nary a word on the projekt page.
which makes it appear very simply.superior + utopian.

arbeit macht frei

most people are dedicated to their work (self) and not to each other
and it isnt about the indiv. but the connections between them.

in our new and improved democracy the connections have become a product as well.
