after the Banana?

…so we put a banana on the cover and it starts a controversy! We do exist in a Context which truly requires interruption/s of all sorts!
Almost 30 Bananas were shot for the back cover of the late Edition, which was printed in 1300 copies- that adds up to 39000 Bananas out there making more and more of us slip in to join our ‘interruptionist’ network.

Each individual input makes Interruptions, probably this what the ‘s’ in Interruption/s is for, it is a collective of these individual initiative to locate Interruptions in various levels, disciplines, topics and express them in various ways- it is this particular issue which we chose to experiment with for our next edition.
We are all interruptionists only because each of us share his/her own, unique, personal, elaborative share of interruptions. Each perceives interruptions and is an interruptionist at once. And it’s the second value we aim to stress, active Interruption.

In our last meeting at Muhtaraf al Rimal, each of us told stories of Interruptions, contextual, cultural, social, artistic.. it all added up to different sets of perspective by where to locate these interruptions, analyze them, portray them and express them.

…travelling the city on foot is an invitation to be interrupted, one’s journey is interrupted visually, the attraction and the hidden scenarios of place, and people. Iman mentioned as an example.

Lucid dreams were another example Hadi and Ali are discussing next issue; Lucid dreams as a constructed imagination which you acknowledge when being interrupted/awaken: and the moment of Interruption as the moment when the fate of these dreams is decided.

So after the Banana, we wish to experiment more with Interruptions, the essence/concept of an ‘interruption’- and this constitute our topics.
We also aim to engage ourselves more as interruptionist rather than observant; and this would suggest the process/inverstigation.
And we may also experiment with methods to express these experiments and this may provide us with various forms of visualization, and article presentation.

These are raw thoughts I chose to write quickly as to start our discussions here on the blog which aims to activate an on-line brainstorming/discussion channel
So hope will see your ‘interruptions’ here soon
