Katarche

"Inaugural personal card-flourishing video of yours truly.

A Video for All and None.

From Wiki:
Katarche is an ancient Greek word meaning a "beginning" or "inception."

---------------------------------------

It has always been a dream of mine to present a card flourishing video with a philosophical meandering underneath it, making it more complete. Being a strong proponent of the notion of the Nietzschean Ubermensch/Overman, I personally it's especially apt to include his idea here, as I think card flourishing is an artform where artists need to constantly overcome themselves and trends (or fads?) to reach higher skies.

The very reason I chose to release this video on an excessively-unpopular day of the week - Monday (19th May 08), it is due to the fact that a Buddhism' major event - Vesak Day falls on the 19th May this year. I would like to burrow the idea of Buddha's mark of final Enlightenment into this context, increasing the significance of my ideal. Don't worry, I am no religious zealot. =)The direct polar opposite of it, actually. ^_^

Enjoy and go forth to search for your own flourishing nirvana.

One sidenote: I am fully cognisant of the fact that the video quality is seriously lacking. Being a first time user and experimentator of video-production, I have yet to familiarise myself with many technical aspects of the abovementioned." -Ling
