It was just an ordinary day..an ordinary day in my concept..just another day when I made up my mind to be someone rather than to be just someone....on the day we went to see Susan Collis's exhibition "Since I fell for You", I decided to be an Alfa Human. I didn't step out the door thinking - I'll be an alfa human today..I didn't even know what an alfa human is..or how it looks like..or how it feels like to be one..
I took the term in use after Anu, who was talking about alfa pedestrians..she made some remarks to explain the necessity to improve my alfa pedestrian skills ( I have a habit to bump into people and other various obstacles).
so there we were..in Ikon Gallery..I was totally taken back by her work..I really found it brilliant. It worked..I walked in the room and ..I was ..hmm..confused..initial thoughts such as "oh, we're late. They've taken the exhibition down.."rushed through my mind..a little bit of sadness. then I realised that it must be it..because people were staring at the bits and pieces on the floor and ..they were investigating the walls..My second thought was: "oh, no..not another ultra modern stuff..like - look, I've put this junk on the floor ..Aren't I ingenious?!!" I've seen that kind of things and..well..you just can't call EVERYTHING art. There has to be a twist. Susan had a twist..everything I saw, was made out of noble metal and wood and ..pearls..and all that kind of things..it was just amazing..You have to see it yourself.
Anyway..after Susan it was Ron Terada's turn..and he just didn't float by boat..I couldn't get him at all..maybe it's just me..
But there was something..something that hooked me on the place..he had a soundtrack for his work..and it was set up in a separate dark booth with those comfy baggy thingies you can sit on.
So we took our places..and floated away to the dramworld..well..I did..she was a bit restless..Did I mention that the soundtrack lasted for 45 minutes...
While she was fiddling round I whispered to her:"We are alfa humans..." not sure if she understood me or not..
I felt sorry for those people..it's just pathetic..why didn't they come in? Why didn't they sit down with us..why didn't they sit down with two total strangers just for 45 minutes..in the dark room? They were pathetic - I could almost feel their uneasiness, their growing discomfort..I could read their thoughts..would it have been to ..too,too inconvenient..poor , poor people..can't even share a public place when there's a tiny bit of intimacy present!
And I've been telling people about my loyal little secret spirit..that there's someone with me..and I don't care what they think about me..It's my head, my world, my dreams and my imagination..so why can't I have my imaginary friends..the hole nation of Christians are aloud to have one..so why can't I have one..Still confirming myself that that's what makes me an alfa human..I dare to say out loud that I have imaginary friends! And why not?!
so I had been glowing my alfa human glory for two days when I sat down with our assistant manager and I asked her whether she was familiar with the alfa human theory (secretly hoping for a negative answer and a conformation that there is no such thing)..and ..she burst my bubble with such a delicate swing of machete as you can ever imagine..BANG!
Apparently alfa humans have always been human's utinam..to create someone who is über intelligent, über beautiful, fit and so on and on...über in every way
And didn't Nietzsche have something to say about alfa humans..and didn't he went a bit..you know..TOO into his own world? hmm... and Huxley is writing about alfa humans in his book "Brave New World"..
Well, well, well..
a gamma human then perhaps.....
