My Dream Office

Howard Rheingold
Howard's Office PicA.jpg

An audiovisual inspection of the way I've reworked the boundaries between work, plan, mind, art, office, studio. Costarring Garuda, Barong, Ganesh, Gumby, my mother, gnomes, painted shoes, painted spiderwebs, books, computer screens, cthonic spirits. Pixels, plywood, alabaster, acrylic.

I want to take some art classes now. In speaking of comic spirits as "reminders", can you relate this to Jung's theory of archetypes? Jungian archetypes are basically behaviors; you read myths to tap into your inner Odysseus or Prometheus or whatever. But "comic spirits" don't seem to resemble human roles to me. Ken Wilber said that there are subconscious and superconscious archetypes; the subconscious archetypes are often mistaken as "spiritual" or transpersonal facets of the psyche, when in actuality only some archetypes relate to transpersonal states. What I am asking is how exactly do comic spirits help remind you of a sacred dimension? www.tri-freedom.com

How do they not?

They seem to represent a blend of many facets of archetypal symbolism. Trickster spirits of all shapes and sizes, it seems to me - which is a vital role indeed. They aren't stark reminders of one particular spiritual gateway, but rather as portals into the world of the "betwixt". At least that's how I see it.

Thanks Howard for inviting us into your Dream Office as it reminds me quite a bit of my dream office/gallery space. I love your artwork as well very inspiring indeed. I Also believe that surrounding oneself with inspired art, books and music is transformational and healing, raising one's vibrational states to inter-dimensional realms! Namaste...

i am not so sure, but this "art" is part of feng shui. it is a good way to release your mind and to relax your body. if you can believe me i have in mt office only a table, a computer, of course,a chair, a little bin and two plants. simple... and a lot of space. i can think in my office, i can focus at my work and daily routine. i feel great at my age...
