stabbing stabbing32 from original documents -- reflection from policecar lights on our wall, processed (almost pitch-dark with the lights). the victim, who lived, (we think) was stabbed twice on the stairs across the street. the perpetrator is still at large. more information from a distance: stabbing scene in providence ri, on the stairs leading to the cathedral - somewhat processed video. http://www.alansondheim.org/stabbing32.jpg https://youtu.be/4iLU7jw8uUA https://youtu.be/r09WaiBxKaU the eight-second video was reduced from a .mov that is about 370 megabytes in size. the other longer video was reduced from a .mov about half a gigabyte. these are much larger then normal, the result of processing of noise elements. update: there is no update. many stories here are forgotten, buried; many names disappear, the body in the river, the wounded girlfriend of the unarmed driver killed in a hail of bullets, perhaps this man now in hospital - a narrative sheen, there is no end to it. the channels run tangled and deep in providence and the remnants, a car part, police tape, blood- stain or time mark, remains as mute and stillborn clues to what? - perhaps nothing more than random violence, skeins of influence and invisible communication - and perhaps nothing less than a memory of a western world tottering on the brink. like noise in the images and video, anyone can say anything (quote from john cayley); anyone always does. +++
