curious coincidence

The site may not be official (waiting to find out) but for not the first time there's a coincidental overlap with the two online experiences, that of Lost and the as-yet-unrevealed one to which the Opensphere band blogs belong to.

Check out the teaser I produced that is the image on the Opensphere666 blog profile.

The name Artemis Eastman came from>
Surname: Namaste (intentional Lost / Lost Experience tribute)
First name: Got the idea from researching Persephone on Wikipedia and had also been keeping it in mind for a creative project for sometime (having used the D.J. name M Artistic and variants such as Artism for myself for ages)

Seems the creative collective consciousness remains at work:

Like I say I don't yet know if this is an official Lost tie-in

With one of the themes of my novel being the whole ccc thing, like Alice found in her adventures, curioser and curioser. (Bet that's spelt wrong, must remember to check!) Just the tip of the iceberg? :o)

On the band's (Opensphere's) political blogs

Remember, perhaps not everything is always black and white (and pastel green, pastel purple...)

Continuing from previous post

The real/unreal and fact/fiction crossovers also tie in nicely with the fact my novel and online work are maybe best described as 'zeitgeist fiction' (a term I first used in conversation, discussing my novel with a housemate, which I think I may have coined!)

The spirit of the times in translation from its origins, I think.

Shedding some light on the mindflight

This blog is one of a family of seven, effectively the 'parent' of the group.

The other six are the fictional, yet with real-world crossovers, blog sites of the band 'Opensphere'.

Just to increase the real/ unreal crossover I'm toying with the idea of posting some 'real-world' commentry to their Politics and Activism blog, so if that's ever the case I'll clarify it here.

To give away the background to the band Opensphere would be too much of a spoiler but it relates to an upcoming novel and online work, and that's all I'm giving away now.

This mindflight777 blog is the blog (real!) of the writer/ designer/ creator of the work so should become of interest to people who like to get into the head of the artist and understand their work more through understanding them.

It may also become essential if a need to explain the potentially complex ideas behind the work arises!

As I'm a HUGE fan of Lost and as my work has ideas of the search for truth, meaning and hope as well as on the idea of these truths sometimes popping up consciously or unconciously in the work of many, maybe even all, creatives from artists to writers (thus the existence of a possible collective creative consciousness), the band's site can also act as my own lost fansite and theory site as the band, through their blogs, join those pondering the Lost enigma, another interesting blur of reality and art as a fictional band investigate both goings on in their own fictional world and try to solve the goings on of another fiction, a real world one, but within the intended truths of the creation they feature in.

Hey, now even I'm slightly confused.

But as one of the band said, perhaps the spheres of truth are opening...

This flight of the mind should be very interesting indeed! :o)
