IDK #4 • Preparations to be Dead at an Unknown Point in Time

In episode 4 of IDK, Gabe reflects on a few pieces of work he recently had the pleasure of taking in. First, "Preparations to be Together for an Unknown Period of Time," a film by Hungarian filmmaker/director/screenwriter Lili Horvát (and Oscar selection for Best International Feature Film). Second, Gabe's first foray into classic Russian literature, "Invitation to a Beheading" by Vladimir Nabokov.

Both of these works deal largely with our relationship to uncertainty, so it's no surprise that I'm wrapping these into the podcast. In hindsight, I realized there's much more ground to cover "Beheading," so look for a deeper dive in the future.

IDK #3 • Unlocking Potential by Creating Space for Automation to Emerge

in

IDK’s first mental block provides the opportunity to explore the lessons learned during the bkwalaBEATS project. One of the main lessons explored here is that of establishing a consistent practice and committing to it especially when it’s difficult to connect to the process itself. There’s power in recognizing that what’s being documented on an “off day” has plenty of value, and actually might expand into new creative dimensions. By limiting creative output to periods of “connectedness,” one stands to compile a fairly one-dimensional body of work.

In episode 3 of IDK, Gabe stumbles through one of these “off days.” Whether it makes for entertaining content remains undetermined; undeterred, Gabe pushes through and explores the doubts that arise throughout the process.
