Re: "Qo akti?"

                                      [Glosa text below #####.] 

Last week I posted a German information text about “Qo akti?” into glosalist. Thanks to Gary for translating it. Now I have assembled all the stuff I have got about this project into a little website. You can have a look at it at
http://www.glosa.org/en/qoakti.htm .

“Qo akti?” (What to do?) is an artwork project by the Netherlands artist Mathilde ter Heijne. It is a “video installation on six monitors” about the French philosopher Simone Weil (1909-1943). The text of the movie is spoken in Glosa. It is displayed now in a gallery in Frankfurt/M. (Germany). “Qo akti?” is certainly the first serious Glosa movie. Because of that and because of the international reputation of the artist, “Qo akti?” will be an important step in the Glosa and also auxlang history forever.

qoakti.htm is no presentation with nice appeal, but it will fit for the Glosa interested reader, I hope. Features:

• the description of the project by the gallery (This is the text I posted last week and that has been translated by Gary. You can read the German, Glosa and English version in three parallel columns.)

• a critique about the project (from THE German newspaper “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”. I think, this text gives a better impression about “Qo akti?” than the gallery-text. Parallel columns German and English. There are some minor holes in the text, because I have got only a copy that has been partly unreadable. My translation is certainly full of horrible English mistakes, it was difficult for me to translate such a newspaper text. I would be very thankful for any help here. Many thanks to the artist, who sent the text to me.)

• a dictionary article about Simone Weil (only in German, perhaps not valuable for you)

• the script of the movie (in Glosa. Perhaps this is the most interesting thing. It is written by Glosa author Wendy Ashby. Thanks to Mrs. ter Heijne, who sent it to me. I got it as fax and I typed it all in, what I could read, so there are certainly some Glosa mistakes here and some minor holes because of fax quality.)

• pictures from the project (You may know them already: I had put them into the “Files” section of glosalist before. Thanks to Mrs. ter Heijne for them.)

• a photograph of the artist (stolen from another website)
