The House of Science

The House of Science: a museum of false facts
directed by Lynne Sachs: website
USA, Experimental, 1991, 16mm, Color, Optical Monaural, 00:30:00

" Throughout THE HOUSE OF SCIENCE: A MUSEUM OF FALSE FACTS, an image of a woman, her brain revealed, is a Leitmotiv. It suggests that the mind/body split so characteristic of Western thought is particularly troubling for women, who may feel themselves moving between the territories of the film's title -- house, science, and museum, or private, public, and idealized space -- without wholly inhabiting any of them. This film explores society's representation and conceptualization of women through home movies, personal reminiscences, staged scenes, found footage, and voice. Sach's personal memories recall the sense of her body being divided, whether into sexual and functional territories, or 'the body of the body' and 'the body of the mind.'" -- Kathy Geritz, Pacific Film Archive "Her task suggests a new, feminized film form in which the coming-of-age rituals are recast into a potent web for affirmation and growth." -- Crosby McCloy, SF Cinematheque "The film takes off on a visual and aural collage, ... combining the theoretical issues of feminism with the discrete and personal remembrances of childhood."

"Deep Impact made history when the mission team directed an impactor from the spacecraft into comet Tempel 1 on July 4, 2005. NASA recently extended the mission, redirecting the spacecraft for a flyby of comet Hartley 2 on Nov. 4, 2010."

El proyectil que chocó contra el cometa estaba hecho de cobre, material fácil de identificar, por lo que no interferiría la identificación de la composición del cuerpo celeste. Para la construcción de este proyectil, Codelco Chile donó más de 300 kilos de cobre blister de la máxima pureza posible de obtener. Sin embargo, la ley chilena impide que la minera estatal entregue donaciones, por lo cual, los 300 kilos fueron vendidos por la suma simbólica de un dólar.

"Francisco Costabal, president of the Mining Council that represents Chile's biggest copper mining enterprises, said one of the strongest indicators of a new exploration boom is the shortage of available drill rigs in Chile."

DEMOSTRACIONES GEOMÉTRICAS

La matemática del horizonte
El pensamiento en la imagen
El teorema y el problema
Teorema: Las relaciones interiores
Problema: El factor externo
La elipse, la hipérbole, la parábola
Horizonte cerrado igual a hueco
Lo externo del problema igual
al pienso interno.
Total Desierto.

AL REDEDOR DE UN CUERPO VIVO SE PERFILA UN HORIZONTE
Merleau-Ponty sobre Bergson
"La percepción no es, pues, una mera inspección de las cosas, sino una anticipación que el cuerpo realiza. Si hacemos abstracción de lo que la memoria aporta (lo único que hace posible las alucinaciones), lo que queda es una "percepción pura" que instala al cuerpo en las cosas."
