GARDENING AL-BUKHARY INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY (AIU) (PART 2)


Reality is partly what our finite eyes capture (in a certain range of frequencies) as images from an infinite range of intertwining frequencies (both tangible and intangible) around us. Images are what our brains interpret as certain range of energy fields and patterns around us. Images are energy captured in its lowest frequencies (or slowest). There are higher frequency dimensions beyond all that our five senses or technological instrument could capture, or what our brain can easily tell us.

Video consists of digital images in sequence that are displayed to our eyes in certain visible frequencies too (such as 30 fps or frame per second) to create a continuous illusion of motion. As moving video images are becoming more and more common around us through the novelty of online and digital technology, the boundary between illusion and real will be blurred. 

Together with Sham (assistant curator, camera man and video editor), Firdaus (curator, project manager), Izrul (production assistant), Adi (production assistant) and all the practical students (Ain, Murni, Shan, Riz, Melcom, Dib, Sufri),we played with reality, frequencies, images, illusion and video at the AIU campus. In doing so, we wanted to spark, sustain and empower a new quantum wave function called AIU - a humaniversity, for the universe to witness.

With the sublime recitation of the Quran echoing from the nearby mosque, we bathed ourselves in the light of Ramadahan, putting finishing touch to AIU Video Murals (Virtual Information Electronic Wall - VIEW). The murals are placed at two sides or wings of AIU main administrative building. The next day we presented the preliminary video version of AIU's tagline "Humaniversity" and the paradigm and concept of virtual information wall to AIU's chief 'garderner'. Then, we did our final video and v.o recording with the always-corporative AIU students. We were swarmed by about 40 of them. As we reflected upon the experience, we knew that we were reminded that we are all inter-connected and inter-dependent. Everything has to conspire in myriads of ways to make sure that we were born and able to experience 'life'. Everyone is a part of this supreme Greatness. The whole universe is created for us to exist and become the witness of its greatness, beyond and within, in all its manifestations, its richness and differences. Greatness is everywhere, even right under our nose. We just need to shut our mind and rambling emotion up, submit to zikr to open our quantum pathways. Salam Ramadhan from us at MGTF USM.
