Craig writes words and music in Newcastle, Australia under the name Wrenasmir. His musical interests are in electroacoustic experimental composition, fusing elements of 90s braindance and 00s post-rock; his writing interests are fuelled by a cross-section of philosophy, avant-garde literature and psychogeography.
Craig is also a school teacher and consultant for special education, accessibility and technology. He has in recent years delivered seminars in Dubai, United Nations workshops in Shanghai, masterclasses in South Africa and Singapore and speaking tours of New Zealand. Recently he has released a series of AI tools for inclusion.
Craig lives with his wife and two children. He used to be a regular contestant on the radio program ‘Treasure Hunter’ hosted by ABC Newcastle 1233. You might see him riding around town on his wooden cargo bike, or walking down a dry stormwater drain with his Finnish-Lapphund.
What is the artist he mentions about "running onto the stage? Something Twins? Not Aphex, genuinely curious and can't figure out what he says. She gives a big reaction though
Has anyone else experienced the feeling of somambulance that the presenter talks about around 04:54? He says that he feels like he has dremt the connections in Sebalds story and I thought I was the only one.
It’s such a perfect description of his prose style, isn’t it - the feeling of sleepwalking between ideas, the ‘sleight of hand’ as Sebald calls it, turning one concept, one geographic area, into something completely different without a clear demarcation between each.
@@Wrenasmir Yes, like water colors fading into each other. I think this is one of the reasons why every time I re-read his books it feels like I never red it before!
"Я знаю мужчин, я знаю женщин, я знаю себя". В каком смысле знает? Он не может знать несколько миллиардов человек, это несколько миллиардов индивидуальностей, у каждого из которых свой внутренний космос. Следовательно, когда он говорит о том, что *знает* их, он имеет в виду гендерные различия, коллективное бессознательное, паттерны поведения, характерные для этих социальных групп, но при этом отрицает, что в книге есть попытка разобраться в психологии. Такое чувство ,что он просто издевается, и его задача дать максимально расплывчатые обтекаемые ответы, которые по сути не значат ничего.
I like it a lot! This video encapsulates a mood. Life goes on and on, it's currents swaying us through the world and the society we formed. A world that's not perfect, but it will do.
Sorry for the extremely late reply, I wasn't having such a good time and then forgot about it. There's some scene in Infinite Jest in which one of the characters says that the hum of the air conditioner sounds like a far-away sound of itsokitsokitsok and this kind of gave me the same weird but calming feeling.
But it is a really beautiful book; it's unnerving, extremely annoying and wonderful at the same time, I would have loved meeting DFW and telling him how much his work has helped me
@@Wurmg.I That’s beautiful. I know DFW’s work well. I’m thinking back to Infinite Jest, I remember a passage where a character is listening to a chant that sounds like “no don’t worry no don’t worry”… I really like that you’ve made a connection between that sort of idea and my repetition of “it’s fine it’s fine it’s fine” in this song, that’s really lovely, thank you. I’d have like to have told DFW how much his writing meant to me, also.
I listened to the ABC broadcast Craig,was so inspiring to hear you speak. You & your colleagues are doing wonderful work every day making a difference. 😊
