...

We should all be given an audio as well as hard copy of all the
inns and outs. And possibly a loudspeaker system that gently
reminds us (me) of the essentials on every even date's full hours
would prove useful.
Or simply a return to the blackboard on which I could write:
"I repent. And I must read all of the handbook,
as this information is probably found inside of it..."

I like this Jump Ship Rat production:



Artists BEN PARRY & JACQUES CHAUCHAT of Jump Ship Rat unite once again to create a giant mobile water fountain. An endless waterfall 40 meters wide pours from above as if from nowhere, circumventing a narrow boat and hiding it behind a wall of water. Theatrical and playful the gliding water fountain comes to grace the Albert Dock. Erupting from the dock, this is an aesthetic and sensory delight that hypnotises the viewer into quiet contemplation, then passing through tunnels and canals it disappears leaving only the still pool. A Liverpool Commissions project; JSR U-51 celebrates the City's maritime history through the element water. Water is the source of all life on earth, as such it has appeared in culture across the ages as a metaphor for the cycle of life, genesis and power; a spiritual symbol and an evocation of the natural world.

"Through the Forest with Virgil" / Birgit R. Deubner
