About Me

"Time stopped. My heart lost a beat. Scientists say there is no such thing as time. Maybe they're right."
Johannes Rombech, Congestorius artificiosae memoriae (1520)
#NUMBERS# is a new multimedia club night inspired by space, time and dreams. Through an exchange of thoughts between Luli of The Junkettes and Lady Himalaya of Decasia, a new premise of art, photography, installations and music was born....
GHOSTS OF DEPARTED QUANTITIES
They are neither finite quantities, or quantities infinitely small, nor yet nothing. May we not call them the ghosts of departed quantities?
(Bishop G. Berkeley, The Analyst)
BETWEEN TWO WORLDS
Between two worlds life hovers like a star,
‘Twixt night and morn, under the horizon's verge.
How little do we know that which we are!
How less what we may be!
(Byron, Don Juan)

SONNET 17
If I could write the beauty of your eyes
And in fresh numbers number all your graces
The age to come would say, This poet lies’.
(Shakespeare, Sonnet 17)

The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do.
(B.F. Skinner, Contingencies of Reinforcement)
We feel the machine slipping from our hands
As if someone else were steering;
If we see light at the end of the tunnel,
It's the light of the oncoming train
(Robert Lowell, Since 1939)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



QUESTION 1: How many possible temperatures might there be between 14°C and 15°C?
ANSWER: A trick question, as you probably guessed. There will be an infinite number of possible temperatures between the two values, or any other two values. No matter how small the gap between two temperatures, it is always possible to find a temperature value between them.

QUESTION 2: Name two other analogue quantities.
ANSWER: Brightness (of light), colour, pitch (how high or low a musical note is), pressure, or any of a host of other properties of our world.
