words by Marjorie Richards

More than ever, we are excited about new upcoming experiences and trotting out into the world to find great adventures. It’s time to dash into the end of our restrictions. DASH goes on the hunt to investigate the causes, symptoms and cures for the monotony that Toolkit

infected us. The previous nothingness has enables us to rethink what we know life to be. Not only has taking extensive trips through the trenches of our minds become a new way of travel, they have also become an intimate source of inspiration. Much like the avantgarde Situationis International movement, we have constructed (existing) situations to become new forms of entertainment, excitement and experimentation.

In DASH magazine we are on an

explorative journey, redefining boredom and zooming on on the underappreciated mundane. We will embark on a journey to stiumlation. We don’t have to go far to

Nature is the biggest escape for me. Being surrounded by greens, fresh air and no one but me, I can let go and escape my everyday life. I recently found those places in the city - even if they are improvised places for the outlands I am used to - that resemble the calmness and uniqueness of nature. It could be a park, a hidden spot where no one goes usually or even my own house in the city: I close my eyes, listen to the birds and imagine what it would be like if I sit in the beautiful woods now.—

Toolkit

First of all, escape reminds me of escape rooms that mushroomed before the pandemic. Escaping happens not only literally: You need to investigate the solution how to exit a room. I also escape reality when being in this situation, focussing on the game. When are we actually still focussed in our rushed everyday lives? I wonder and I think games like this, as we played as children, are a serious solution to escape. —

SITUATIONIST INTERNATIONAL

Mastery

Words by.

Inspired by surrealism and dadaism, the Situationist International Movement (1957) was lead by avantgarde artists and intellectuals who wanted to oppose a materialistic shift in society. With a focus on individual experiences and the discovery of personal purpose in cities, the collective desired the break with growing consumption in the 60’s. — 93

MOODSWINGS. Thoughts on Situationism Words by Johanna Schneider

aving heard about situationists, I thought: ‘Yes, that is my struggle’. Back then, I had no idea what

the word meant in its’ historical context.

Agenda Point

My association lead me to a first definition: Depending on the situation, a mood changes frequently. ‘Yes, that is my struggle’, I thought again and recall the highs and lows that depend on tiny changes of location, information or people. An example: I am enthusiast to enter a Zoom meeting to work with my team on a next photoshoot. From the other end of my apartment, I hear the sounds of my cooking boyfriend cooking and soon, I smell fish. “I hate fish. Why is he cooking fish again, knowing I hate it?” This is situationism in its’ fullest to me. Having been in a productive and creative thrust, anger and disappointment grow within me, unjustafied moods. Accelerated emotions without any physical movement. The sensitivity to external circumstances increased much since the speed of information and my sensitivity to every little event evolved. In this term, situationism matches

simultaneously.

‘Situationism International’ started in 1957 and implied that everyone holds the responsibility to shape ones way of perceiving. If I see a bird, I can see a disgusting city dove or I can see a creature of nature, flying over me with carefreeness. With creativity and pragmatism, every situation can be seen from your desired angle. I realise, how the dilemma of my mood swings can be solved by the ideology of this movement. When consciously trying to influence the way, we look at situations, we challenge the intellectual and creative brain to re-explore every situation. —

MUSHY GREY NOTHING NESS. Words by Marjorie Richards Image by Luxe Texture Studio

The generic clock they’re staring at probably stopped ticking a few summers ago. The piece of chewing gum that has been residing in their mouth, has long since lost its already faint minty taste. Their moisture craving cuticles were once so entertaining and seductive, but now there is nothing more left to pick at. Their phone’s battery is dead (RIP). The waiting room is dull and depressing. They’re shifting around impatiently, desperately trying to find a pleasant seating position on a chair that obviously wasn’t designed with the intention of taking the comfort of the modestlyderrière’d into account, wondering how long this burden of a grey mushy sensation will last...

100

Some say boredom is an emotional state experienced when individuals don’t have much to do. They are not particularly interested in their surroundings either. A sensation which leaves them craving the sensation of relief. An incredibly tedious form of torture perhaps? I personally think boredom can be quite a dynamic sensation. What creates boredom? And what makes something boring? Is it monotony? Is it repetition? Predictability perhaps? Lack of inspiration and imagination? All of the above?

GR N

Mastery

Conventionally speaking, boredom is an emotional and psychological state. However, there seems to be no universally accepted definition of the sensation. Yet, whatever its definition, boredom seems to be a specific mental state that people find unpleasant. John Eastwood in The Unengaged Mind argues that it is universally conceptualised as the aversive experience of wanting, but being unable, to engage in a satisfying activity. Kill time In the Philosophy of Boredom, Lars Svendson notes that boredom has only been a central cultural phenomenon for a couple of centuries. It is impossible to determine precisely when it arose, and naturally it has its precursors. But it stands out as being a typical phenomenon of modernity. In Svendon’s opinion it cannot simply be understood as a personal idiosyncrasy because it is a much too comprehensive phenomenon to be explained away like that. Boredom is not just an inner state of mind; it is also a characteristic of the world, as we participate in social practices that are saturated with boredom. At times, it almost seems as if the entire Western world tries to kill time and bore itself to death.

“Certain sensations are slumbers that fill up in our mind like a fog and prevent us from thinking, from acting, from clearly and simply being. As if we hadn’t slept, something of our undreamed dreams lingers in us, and the torpor of the new day’s sun warms the stagnant surface of our senses. We’re drunk on not being anything, and our will is a bucket poured out onto the yard by the listless movement of a passing foot.’’ Book of Disquiet - Fernando Pessoa

MUSHY REY NOTHING IT IS AS IF THE ENTIRE WESTERN WORLD TRIES TO KILL TIME AND BORE ITSELF TO DEATH.

Mastery

Sneezing and barcodes And now what? ‘‘How to cure my boredom?’’ you may ask. Rather than turning to a quick fix - YouTube videos of funny cats, endless scrolling on Instagram - there is another way. Find inspiration for curing your own mushy grey nothingness by looking at The Boring Conference - a one-day celebration of the mundane, the ordinary, the obvious and the overlooked. Subjects discussed are often considered terribly trivial and pointless, but when examined more closely reveal themselves to be fascinating. The conference dabbles on topics such as sneezing, toast, barcodes, the sounds made my vending machines, and the features of the Yamaha PSR-175 Portatone keyboard. It wants people to use the mundane as a stimulus to creative thinking and observation. Basically, the key message here is to ‘’just look at stuff.’’

Radical Remedy Back to the conventional definition of boredom, where it’s an unpleasant emotional and psychological state, an experience of wanting, but being unable, to engage in a satisfying activity.

Say we accept this proposed universally conceptualised definition of boredom, it implies that the sensation of being bored inherently carries a longing to escape from it. Yet, what happens if we try to approach boredom in a slightly different way? What if we re-imagine boredom to be something that one does not have to escape? Surely there must be at least one positive note to boredom? After all, haven’t humans achieved great things through the sweet blessing of the phenomenon?

INSTANT BLISS IN EVERY ATOM

Mastery

Author Neil Gaiman advises aspiring writers to ‘’Let yourself get so bored that your mind has nothing better to do than tell itself a story.’’, hinting at a possible brighter side to boredom. One of my favourite writers, the genius David Foster Wallace, was so fascinated by the sensation that he based a novel on it. The posthumously published and unfinished The Pale King was set in a tax office, in which its characters achieve a state of heightened awareness through the concentration required to do their jobs. A note that Wallace left in his papers laid out the novel’s idea: ‘’Bliss—a-second-by-second joy and gratitude at the gift of being alive, conscious—lies on the other side of crushing, crushing boredom. Pay close attention to the most tedious thing you can find (Tax Returns, Televised Gold) and, in waves, a boredom like you’ve never known will wash over you and just about kill you. Ride these out, and it’s like stepping from black and white into color. Like water after days in the desert. Instant bliss in every atom.’’

So perhaps it is not the boredom in itself that is inspiring or is creative, it is what it leads to that is important. As it is perceived to be such an unpleasant state, one is motivated to look for something else. In that gap there’s a real chance to discover something new. Ultimately boredom, whether it’s inspiring, disheartening, blissful or annihilating, just is. Much like the weather, it’s something that we have little choice but to live with. Perhaps the only way to ride out the waves of boredom is to accept and embrace it, and maybe consider boredom as a means to find greater purpose. —

Words by Johanna Schneider

Physical activities are a humans drive. We make memory through offline experiences. Nowadays, being caught in our screen-lives, it is more relevant than ever to live after the motif “hands-on” something different than our keyboards. Give it a thought: What can you put your hands on to create more than words, pixels and posts that get lost in the abundance of online data. Think further than your comfortzone.

When did you lately made an impact in this world? An impact that is a potential relict of you, even when you are gone? It is very probable that no one will remember or look at your Instagram account. So, is there some kind of activity that you want people to remember you? Your hands, legs and the rest of your body are your tools to stance something into this world, might it be a drawing, a trace in the sand or a meal you cook. Your senses are not stimulated when sending your weekend plans to a friend. They are, when you execute them with your fullest attention and awareness.

drawing rounds around the inside mechanism. I imagine, how the attractive guy would move over the stairs, with his clumsy limbs. I imagine his body, elegant and lean, sliding over the ribbed surface of the metall lines. He sooner or later will turn pale, entering the artificial yellow light of the underground. Pale - but still upright, tall and attractive. I think about love on the first sight. Can this happen so quickly? Am I ready for a lover right now? I look back at the man and realize that for the whole time, we both looked deep into each other’s eyes. Eye to eye, just like lovers do. Slighlty embarrassed, I turn my view to the sun behind my back, having shifted across the empty sky, to sink below the horizon. In the movement of the sun, I feel something I hardly know how to name: some kind of awkward realization. Shyly maneuvering my eyes back into his, I finally realize. I am the lover of this man, who is my disturbed

What definetly is still a relic of hunters and gatherers is that men can follow fast movements, such as the speed of a ball in the arena or cars passing by, with higher precision than females. That for, women can spot the tiniest differences in colour and shade better that the average male. Today, this skill might be of benefit, and yet - just as the speed of men - it is not necessary any longer. Colourblind people have the same life quality. So, what is actually left of the hunters and gatherers we have been before the agricultural revolution? It might be to your surprise, but a very relevant trait of all humans, now and then, is a relict of the stoneage: Our instincts. Both, hunters and gatherers relied on them heavily. Today, we are educated to live after norms more than to follow our instincts.

et me tell you, living after your instincst is a big challenge in a world where every minute counts. You will not get

the job when you sleeped over a job interview, because your instincts told you to stay in the warm cocoon of your bed. Sorry. Seconds and coordinates tend to dominate our world in which instincts have very little meaning. Nevertheless, we have an idea. What if we all rely on our instincts in our free time? Instead of hindering our ambition to be successful in a competitive society, we can make leisure time the time of our instincts. Blocking two hours every day and the weekends in addition for your instincts is already a start. Already start your day with the intuitive decision of your breakfast. clothes.

WILLEM DE HAAN Investigate

For our interview with the Dutch artist and hunter, we met Willem in reality in a his loft in Rotterdam. When entering his place, I am invited for tea and a comfortable seat in his minimalist home. I am surprised by the minimalism, being a contrast to his artistic stunts.

Willem de Haan grew up in Rotterdam and today, his creations remind us of the adventures and excitement the city holds. DASH speaks to him and finds out where he gains motivation and what he does when he has a “boredom” crisis.

This series is dedicated to the places that you and I go to everyday. We live by the given architecture and set-up. But we, the ones who live are also the ones who can break the architecture, the grid that is our fundament. We reconstruct it, free to choose how we do.

Words by Johanna Schneider

MH? IS IT BIG, BLUE, BOLD, BORING? BECAUSE IF YOU KNOW THIS YOU CAN TAKE IT AND CHANGE OR NOT CHANGE IT. BUT LOOKING AT THINGS IS IMPORTANT. YOUR KNOW, WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY? WE DO NOT KNOW. BUT WE HOPE YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS. WHICH MUSIC, MOVIE, MOVEMENT, MAGIC? ARE YOU ACTUALLY CLOSE TO BEING AT THE END OR DID YOU JUST START? HOW DOES IT FEEL RIGHT NOW? EVEN BEFORE YOU REALIZED THIS FEELING, LET IT

Venture

TELL YOU WHAT TO DO WITH IT. WHERE DO YOU GO TO CONSOLE THIS EMOTION? LET IT CARRY YOU AROUND. THE INSTINCTS CARRY YOU TO THE PLACE WHERE ENERGY AWAITS YOU. JUST LIKE HUNTERS AND ALSO GATHERERS, WE ASK YOU TO WATCH OUT ON THE ESSENTIAL THINGS. YOU ARE THE HUNTERS AND GATHERERS OF YOUR TIME. ENERGY, POWER, DETAILS AND THE HERE AND NOW ARE THE THINGS YOU MUST WATCH, DARLING! —
