Going nowhere but Moving On & Around, While Standing Still
We have become less mobile and more static. The Internet and online blogs have made communications, information, intercultural discussions and virtual travelling more accessible. Through Internet access we are able to remove physical distances in order to collaborate, keep artistic dialogues and share our lives endeavours instantaneously and openly. Online dialogues occurred between a poet/visual artist in Berlin and writer/artists in Australia, from inside their studios, workspaces and homes. Since travel, movement, and escapism have become difficult due to economic factors, we imagined and discussed cultural and emotional journeys with one another over the Internet. Through creative and non-fiction writing, videos, images, sound we communicated, maintained & increased our relationships. Dialogues were imaginary travelling, as well domestic & social duties that occurred in our daily lives.

Ambition of a young woman
by lady gaby

I go anywhere, anytime, any place anyhow I see fit,
I'll be there.
I go to small places, large places, hideous places,
Smelly places, greedy places, horizontal places, perpendicular places
Inside a circle I go in a straight line
I'll crawl if I have to….
I'll be there….
Everything surrounds me and I surround everything else
I am big, I am large, I am strong but you can come near me
I look up…then I get there
I look down…. And never fall
I run…. Even if I don't have to
Catch me but you can't
I dare …if you do
I smile…if you try
I'll look …if you turn
I'll be there…. Kisses and all.
Watch me…
