During the 1500's the sturdy tie
between Jerusalem and the rest of Europe not only buckled, but
downright shredded into several hundreds of sects. Each birthing new
tekonologies, and artistic practices. One new Art institute that
started in the Genovian Swiss alps was particularly influential, and
its tekonology is practiced to this very day.
The Tekonology of Genovia
Totally talentless, Also known as Total
inability, and original idiocy.
When the first human baby was born into
this world it was totally an utterly talentless. Too weak to even
hold a paintbrush let alone craft a masterpiece. A child's very
nature is to make messes and not art, and no one is ever able to
overcome this natural state of being. No matter how much one matures
or practices their art. It will always stink.
Unconditionally chosen
No one is chosen by the “one” based
upon their abilities. New artists are made from the scum of the earth
to the Kings in their splendor. There is no way to increase your odds
of being chosen. It just happens. Not even looking upon the image
grants artistry that is merely the point when the artists becomes
aware of his or her status.
Limited amount of gifted
Sadly, not everyone is chosen. Only few
are bestowed the blessings of the artist. These few make themselves
known through their great art. If one that claims to have been chosen
makes poor art they were never gifted to begin with.
Irresistible call
Once chosen, not matter what they will
find themselves at Ohborn castle. No one that is called there does
not make it there. All of the chosen find a way.
Forever an Artist
Once a chosen person always a chosen person.
They can never make bad art again. They are forever an artist.
“Here is your new notes.” Says a
tall thin man, with a heavy french accent.
Eric snatches up the papers, from the
French man's hand. His eyes roll ferociously.
“We're going to cover Johann’s
theory next. Out of all the drivel to choose from they went with
Johann's theory. Truly, why did I take this job, Claude?”
“Easy. For the money and a chance to
show off how brilliant you are.”
“Yes, with a fake accent and a
teleprompter.”
“You are the one avoiding teaching,
and I know why too.”
“Why is that?”
“For the same reason you did not
fight to film up by the castle.”
“You're wrong.”
“Am I? Everyone one knows you could
have persuaded Bernard. Yet you did not even try.”
“I didn't want to film by the castle
because it is unnecessary. Long distance shots are fine. There was no
need for me to speak with Bernard again. It is not that I am avoiding
him.”
Bernard was the overseer of Ohborn
castle. He was a traditional representative artist, and at one time a
friend to Eric. They had a falling out some years before, back when
Eric was a traditional representative artist in training. Eric often
cited that his loss of artistry was traced back to the critical
studies he did there with Bernard.
Here behind me stands Ohborn castle.
Ancient and silent, and ever a mystery to the naïve.
“Cut! Again this time without the
snark!”
Ohborn castle standing majestically
behind me. Not as a regal palace, but as a near holy shrine. These
pitch covered rocks,and the guarding rocks above them have forged
many tales, and none more controversial than Johann's theory. Johann
is said to have been one of the original followers of The Artist. He
and his brethren greatly expanded the tekonology of the Artist,
but his point of interest is his theory of the fate of Ohborn Castle.
Joahann's supposed writings on the subject is several pages long. So
in this case I think the 18th century English poet sums up
his work best.
“Behold the walls have tumbled, and
the tar has been made to dust, the whole of the picture is shown to
us. The Artist work shall be made complete, and the light of the ONE
will all artists feed. The faithful dead will see it too. All their
talent they will accrue for rocks live forevermore.”
Johann articulated that if ever the
fullness of the one's picture is revealed, then all artists would be
great even after death. This includes those long dead. A lovely
sentiment. However, some would call fanatic traditionalists have
taken Johann's supposed theory to new levels. They speculate that a
hidden fault line lies underneath the castle,and it will mean the End
of Ohborn, and the revealing of full image on the rock. No such fault
line has ever been found. Which has lead to even more radical ideas.
There are some that propose detonating the castle's foundation. This
has been proposed by both believer and skeptic alike. Citing that it
would prove once and for all who is right.
“Cut! That's good except at the end
there. Instead of saying 'who is right,' I'd like you to say either
' what is the truth' or 'fact from fiction.'”
“I like it the way I said it.”
“Well I don't! Get with it Eric or
you're out of a job!”
They re-shot this take more than any
other. Both of them were determined to have their way. They ended up
settling on “fact from fiction.” Their bickering lasted for so
long that they lost their lighting and had to retire for the evening.
The commentary of the preservation of Ohborn had to wait until
morning light.
