Three, six, nine, the goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco
(on the streetcar line)
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven
(in a little row-boat)
Now the dance that the people do,
I don't know how it started
Well, you'll get yours
cause I got mine
For the monkey time

Intro to Art History 101 🐍
It Came From the 20th Century
"The process of assimilating material (making it 'one's own') happens when, at the moment of contact with the real thing, it begins to set itself out according to a grid of outlines and sketches of the same special structure as that in which one's consciousness was formed."
-S. Eisenstein

In the first book of his treatise De musica, St. Augustine defines music as the "science of good modulation."
The principles of good musical modulation and its appreciation that Augustine established in De musica are mathematical principles and therefore apply, in his opinion at least, to the visual arts as they do to music.

"Many autistic people use repeated movements (like hand flapping or spinning) and/or repeated behaviours (like saying a word or listening to a song on repeat) for sensory stimulation, to keep calm or to express joy.
This is an example of one of the core characteristics of autism needed for a diagnosis.
Repeated movements and behaviour are also known as ‘stimming’. Stimming is short for ‘self-stimulating behaviour’; it can also be described as ‘self-regulating’ behaviour. Autistic people may also describe a single way of stimming as a ‘stim’, and a set as ‘stims’."
Translation: it's a way to feel Human again after acting American all day long.
So when you see the bubbles bouncin
you will recognize the sight
of a diver deever devver
doing something right
way beneath the ocean
in the kingdom
of the sea
while the bubbles
bounce about
above the water.
