Alice saw the book indications sent by our crew and selected some. She is amazed by the non existent " the thousand faces of Alice" by the book collector and nexialist @semperluxus! She than she became fascinated by Raymond Queneau's "Exercices de style", a collection of 99 retellings of the same story. Adventurer in the lands of dreams, she selected "La vida es sueño" by Calderón de la Barca and "Book of Dreams" by the beatnik Jack Kerouac. "Life, what is it but a dream?" asked Lewis Carroll. She also selected "Memories, dreams and reflections" by Karl Gustav Jung, diving into the mysteries of the collective unconscious. 

 She chose “A Brief History of Time” by Stephen Hawking, in the search for answers to some of humanity's greatest doubts: What is the origin of the universe? Is he infinite? Has it always existed, or was there a beginning and will there be an end? And what will happen when it's all over? In “Mulheres Mitos e Deusas” by Martha Roble she seeks to understand the feminine, she came into contact with the history and dilemmas experienced by figures such as Aphrodite, Cinderella, Simone de Beauvoir and Virginia Woolf, on a journey to redefine the role of women in the world. 

She felt her innocence and naivety challenged reading "Songs of Innocence and Experience" by William Blake, a collection of illustrated poems by the visionary artist. She felt intrigued by the controversial Lolita, considering Nabokov's interest in Lewis Carroll. She also choose to read “The Clockwock Alice” by Deanna Knippling, "How all these books are connected with my oneiric experiences? How they deal with the questions I live in my adventures?" She wondered.

"Allice in Psychadelic Wonderland" by Bousquet Georges Casajordi

  "somewhere in the metaverse... In 1972, the great Jacques Tati, in collaboration with Stanley Kubrick and the very young Wes Anderson, began shooting his film "Allice in Psychadelic Wonderland". At the beginning of each session, magic mushrooms were given to the spectators... The film had no success... but as the white rabbit would say... "it's never too late"."

 "As the twentieth century progressed, the concept of illustration underwent profound transformations, in dialogue with the radical changes happening in the visual arts. Artists broke down the barriers between the outside world and the experiences of the mind, questioning the idea of a mimetic approach to illustration. The transformations in the universe of the arts and counterculture were re-creating Alice’s experiences in the mêlée of her dream world and wonderland. At the end of that century, Alice’s looking-glass shattered into a million pieces, spreading within the collective imagination new meta-Alices in a nonsensical, magical hourglass of alicinations.

The artists and illustrators were driven to discover or invent new relationships between text and pictures. The identity of the subject was subverted by the allure of the unknown and inexplicable. Rather than repeat, illustrators started to provoke and transgress. They questioned the classic idea that art should imitate or interpret an exterior reality. They also began to seek out subversion, paradox, and experimentation. The present time is filled with otherness and difference. Intertextual readings, metalanguage, multiple assemblies, nonlinear narratives. Abracadabra!"

" I’ll dedicate this post to the exploding trend of AI-based visual engines, namely, Midjourney, and offer my first, early, humble takes on taking Alice through this AI looking glass.

What’s Midjourney? What are AI-based visual engines? Well, If you’ve been tripping balls off mushrooms in the last few months, or meditating on a rock in Dharamsala, and have just logged on, and got to this post, and it’s all very new, read on, the rest can skip ahead. Google’s Dall-e and Midjourney, as well as others, are text-to-images wonder engines. You type a textual description, and get an output in a visual. You whisper a few words to a machine, and it paints you a pretty picture. It’s like something from the Wizard of Oz, only with a real Wizard behind the curtain."
