Interview
The following is an interview with Edris Mohsin. It is applicable toward the individual in a myriad of ways. The interview is full of fascination / ideas / abstraction. I highly recommend reading.
5:07
Julian LaBounty
do you use your pool a lot in the summer?
5:07
King Rice04
no
i didn't use it at all last summer
5:08
Julian LaBounty
do you feel that in las vegas most people with pools use them far less than they expected
5:08
King Rice04
well it depends i used my last pool a good amount and the previous pool every day when i was a kid.
i used it so much that the cool decking made my feet bleed.
5:09
Julian LaBounty
what did that look like as a kid
5:09
King Rice04
what did what look like?
5:09
Julian LaBounty
bleeding pool decking
5:09
King Rice04
its not like gushing blood.
it was just like having raw feet with occasional blood.
5:10
Julian LaBounty
do you feel like children, with their innocence, enjoy pools more than an un innocent adult
and do you feel that pools require imagination to use
5:10
King Rice04
yeah.
5:10
Julian LaBounty
or not to use but to have fun in
5:10
King Rice04
i made up games when i was a kid.
5:10
Julian LaBounty
yeah
5:10
King Rice04
now i just dick around in the water.
5:10
Julian LaBounty
a pool is a summer sandbox?
5:11
King Rice04
i suppose
5:11
Julian LaBounty
did you like sandboxes?
5:11
King Rice04
not really i didnt go to a lot of parks
there were no parks by my neighborhood.
5:11
Julian LaBounty
do you enjoy the idea of children?
5:11
King Rice04
not really
5:12
Julian LaBounty
do you feel most people do?
5:12
King Rice04
yeah
they long for more innocent days
5:12
Julian LaBounty
do you find that sort of past-desire, marked with inevitable failure?
5:13
King Rice04
no i think its more of a nostalgic feeling.
5:13
Julian LaBounty
do you find nostalgia pointless. in essence its reliving a feeling and not much else. and nostalgia is fleeting
5:14
King Rice04
yeah like when your looking far so back in your life there is nothing that you can learn from that. so you're looking back for no reason other than to have warm and fuzzy feelings.
i think its like a coping mechanism
5:15
Julian LaBounty
do you feel that its justified for having a higher price value on a home that has a pool. regardless of actual cost but what the pool brings as an object, as a function?
5:16
King Rice04
it brings the potential for enjoyment.
i suppose you can go to a public pool but you can do the same types of things.
i dont use my pool but every year my family has at least one outing where my pool is the focal point
my cousins dont have pools so they always want to go swimming.
but again they're kids
5:17
Julian LaBounty
do you feel you have an ability to appreciate (the idea) beyond yourself
5:18
King Rice04
i suppose.
i think of them as an aestethic.
aesthetic*
pools can be a nice focal point to a back yard.
but then again so can gardens.
i dont think that its especially fair that a garden doesn't have a high fiscal value compared to pools.
5:20
Julian LaBounty
so you would say that a 'nice' garden can be appreciated just as much as a pool
5:20
King Rice04
well a nice garden can be used year around. while a pool has a very limited window of enjoyment
5:20
Julian LaBounty
agreed
do you find that things like gardens, pools, patios, exotic rooms, and all the myriad of interesting spaces there can be, involve a level of abstraction to be enjoyed?
5:21
King Rice04
well i think its kind of a distraction from the ho hum droll of normal society.
you go to metropolitan areas most people dont have pools, gardens, patios, or what have you.
most suburbanites use them to distract their mediocrity of life.
5:22
Julian LaBounty
haha
do you think an actual city can work in the same way that a pool or a garden can, in terms of a unique thing to occupy the mind beyond everyday?
5:23
King Rice04
yeah
5:24
Julian LaBounty
do you find that las vegas because of its implied nature. that of entertainment for people who come to visit rather than people who live here, is in great deficit, and because of this, it has a negative impact on its local populace, who must suffer for the flat / surface / joy / sin / of others
do you feel that the city is in effect dismissing its own inhabitants because its inception is not based on its own people, its existence is predicated on outsiders
5:26
King Rice04
yeah, the latter. all the entertaining things to do in vegas are directed toward the tourist.
take for example shows.
here we have huge lavish shows aimed directly at tourist. in new york there are definitely shows aimed at tourist yet there are shows aimed at locals as well.
off broadway.
5:27
Julian LaBounty
yeah
the nature of a city like new york
is far different
from that of our city
5:28
King Rice04
yeah
5:28
Julian LaBounty
even los angeles reflects upon itself and its own industries
las vegas reflects upon 'another' desire
5:28
King Rice04
yeah our existence is predicted on tourism
5:28
Julian LaBounty
do you find the concept of tourism, 'dirty'
5:28
King Rice04
how so?
5:28
Julian LaBounty
would you associate the word
in any way
maybe as a negative
tourism usually kills locality and uniqueness wherever it goes
5:29
King Rice04
yeah thats true but in vegas i dont think that is a bad thing. there is no uniqueness in las vegas. vegas is an americana interpretation of the world.
5:29
Julian LaBounty
ah
tourism exists differently in vegas because it was created soley for tourism
or its existence
other places have it
but thats not the essence
of the place like here in vegas
5:30
King Rice04
yeah
i think that tourism is ruining places where it is not the basis of the economy.
like frisco.
the embarcadero was redesign in the last 15 years to bring tourism.
5:33
Julian LaBounty
ah
do you find the idea of a 'soul' as an abstraction towards substance and meaning, not as religious, important?
5:34
King Rice04
i go out of my way to not use soul.
it still has a religious connotation in my mind
5:34
Julian LaBounty
thats fine, then use the idea
5:35
King Rice04
i think something have an essense to them. a uniqueness about them
but i dont think that its predetermined or anything; rather, i think it is instilled from upbringing or the way something is raised.
or created
like seeing the soul of a piece of wood and turning into a table is bullshit.
did i answer that accordingly?
5:37
Julian LaBounty
i enjoyed your answer
however
i wanted more to know
whether you find it important
for a thing to have an essence
5:37
King Rice04
oh
5:37
Julian LaBounty
and also, if you would hold something higher than a non-essence thing
5:38
King Rice04
no i dont think that having a "soul" is important, like when i think of someones soul they are very limited with very little ability to adapt and change.
so i dont hold it in a high regard.
5:39
Julian LaBounty
you would say then that an essence
implies
a rigidity
and inability to adapt and change
?
5:39
King Rice04
yeah i think it implies rigidity.
when you think of an essense.
5:39
Julian LaBounty
i think i enjoy that sort of concept
however
i dont want to demean an essence
i would like to discover
a way
to find both 'good' ?
5:40
King Rice04
its you applying to another object so in your mindset you've already set a rigid set of rules for it.
5:40
Julian LaBounty
ah
if you were given a billion dollars right now how would that make you feel
your instant reaction
5:41
King Rice04
crazy joy.
and confusion
5:41
Julian LaBounty
i have enjoyed talking to you about these things. may i post this interview
in my sunriseroom
5:41
King Rice04
yeah man its fine.
5:41
Julian LaBounty
do you mind
thanks
5:42
King Rice04
no problem.
5:07
Julian LaBounty

As a kid I loved playing with Legos. I have a giant box of them somewhere. This is an art project which I saw over at Wooster. Lego / Wall / Crack / Fill

i am
abandoned
in every direction
like the death of my father
upon me worst still
the growing weight of growing
the culmination
of the world
i am draped atop
the beautiful
and far below i gaze
to be forever shrouded
in absolute heightinfiniteness
the giving hands of bright eyed-women
and across their lips
the shining lies
of giving
each row of plenty
is enough for slaughter
the gallons of blood
in garnished white flowers
in lue of orchids
we have slaughter
in way of wonderful
we have the terrible
